Wow, those are very nice. Sorry to hear about your lost love. I know it hurts. Anyway, I hate that your leaving. I would love to see more of your work from the examples above. As far as making textures for a figure, hair, prop, etc. I don't know. Most of the people are pretty supportive, but maybe you got a couple of people who were jerks. I see no problem with making new textures for existing items. Do it myself all the time, though I never released any of them and I know others do release them.
