I must disagree with the 'artists' comment. Not everyone in here is an artist. Me, I'm a hobbyist who's having fun with a piece of software, and buying things to have even more fun. For every Michaelangelo, there are thousands who just like having fun with art. I don't have the time, skills, or software to make my own textures, so I buy them. I'd hazard a guess that the majority of folks reading this thread are the same. If you can make your own textures (or figures or props), bully for you and good on ya. But please don't expect everyone to be in the same position.
