Why would you use work of someone else then?
you need to realise that the majority of the texturing art that gets done is for requests. if you C&P and the "client" likes it, then there really is no issue.

mrama and his dj stuff
etc etc etc.
in the end, the ONLY thing that matters to "clients" is the end result. they set a price at the start of the request, and if they like something, they cant say "o well its copy paste im not paying that much now"
you can put as much of "your own stuff" into your personal sets, because it YOUR set.
i think this thread is gna start serious bullshit in the request boards now.
they started off by saying they'll pay according to quality "oh i like that, but its not that good so il only pay X amount"
now we're gna have
"O LOL 100K REQUEST SO AWESOME"
"100k for completly amazing"
"50-75k for a good set"
"20k if its copy paste"
complete bullshit if you ask me. its just gna degrade and degrade. unending process. this thread has just made it all official.
DOWN WITH THE MARKET yay...

Doesn't really matter, since most of the good artists make heads because they enjoy it not just to sell.
i don't remember when , but once kitfox said in his texture set request topic :
I don't care if you use brush sets, I don't care how you get it done, just make it look nice.
'who cares how you get it done , just make it look nice'
look at this : http://www.noelshack.com/up/aac/saty...ebe6a66322.png
^at the left , mrama's set , at the right , mrama's set i edited , only by doing copy/paste and some contrast modifications.
i approve what kitfox said, only the outcome counts , fuck the rest.

I guess I fit in Darkjak's third category. I feel that what I made was art. It took skill to do what I did. Just different skill. but still I used my skills to produce something. That is what art is to me. Now that is different from plagiarism. If you use the source images when enough and make it mesh together to make a decent head that in my opinion takes skill and is acceptable. If you find a texture map and map it that is more to the side of skilless. So that isn't okay. But you cannot convince me that my work shouldn't make me proud. You can't convince me that I am not an artist. The time thing you guys were discussing is a factor. But also, I was working om my texturing skills while I was c/p'ing. So the lack of skill was a part of it too. anyways, this shouldn't be a big deal as long as everything is done to a degree of being aesthetically pleasant.
