I used to play Toribash back in 2009-2010 when artists like Gabiel, Mrama, and Vermine were active in texturing and I gotta say.. Where has all the art and skill gone? Even besides these elite artists, there were TONS of people making their own textures too and a good amount of it looked good even if they weren't "Toribash famous". The art market was booming.

Now? I check the art/textures board and the first page still has the same topics on it that it had yesterday, some of them still without a reply. Artists like Advens (no offense, sorry, your work is good but not THAT good) get away with selling sets for a high price whereas back in the day his sets would probably go for a lot cheaper because it seemed standard that people made art as good as his work. Just an example.

I can't even think of many good set makers that exist right now. Zwift, 00Assassin00, Advens.. They're all good but it's like I can hardly think of other names. Who's considered the best? Flyingmonk is, yet I personally feel with the amount of c/p used his sets look like way too much detail to care.. meaning there's too many small things and lines, I can't even tell what's going on outside of the head. Sets back then didn't have to have explicit detail to be great. On a side note.. I personally think Ezeth makes the coolest sets currently. I've only seen three, but they're all fully jointed and there's just enough detail to be right without going overboard. Pretty cool.

Where has the art gone, guys? Is Toribash dying or some shit? We need to get the art back.
