Quote - I certainly would.

If I thought I were going to live forever.

It's not a matter of being capable of learning to do these things. It's a matter of allocating time. The older I get, the less of it I have. So I tend to search, find, and download/buy if I can.

If there were a particular image that needed something that was absolutely unavailable... I still probably wouldn't bother learning to make it. I only have enough time in my life to make so many images, and I'm not too attached to any one of my ideas that I feel I have to create one.

That being said, I might eventually get bored with making images, and move on to creating content. But it wouldn't be because I needed the items. It would be because I was bored with the process and wanted to do something new.

Fair Enough :)
