Different priorities. Different talents. Different lives. That's it (IMHO)! For me the items that I buy or download for free are representing the tools, just like brushes, canvas and colors. Yes, in fact it's a fascinating idea to grab a squirell, comb out some of his tail hairs, get stick, wire, glue and so on and build my own,no, my perfect brush. But my day has 24 hours, every 2 days I need some sleep ;o). And I have to live from what I create. So time is money - and I even want to make art for my own pleasure, so I need some extra-time. And I think, I have much more talent and experience in creating images than in modeling. And as I see here and there, some merchants have more talent for modeling, texturing etc. then for rendering promo-images. Don't get me wrong, please, that's okay for me. In this case I get even more then shown on the promo-image. Yes, I would like to do my own things, sometimes I'm in need for some sepcial little things and can't buy them. I tried to do this and that on my own but ended up with some mess or compromise and a clock that shows me: 6 hours until I should be finished with work, the customer is waiting! What to do? Paint the missing things! So: If I could make a wish for a buyable item - it would be time. And then I would like to learn modelling too (texturing is not that problem for me). But life is no wishing-well and so some people have to make decisions for one thing or another.

I'm not always right, but my mistakes are more interesting!

And I am not strange, I am Limited Edition!
