yeah you should get a big slap for the "less and less c/p" comment, 0% is the only percent. Reference is great but personally I don't see the point of C/P in general, I texture because I want to make the texture, C/p just makes me feel like people just didnt want to make the texture. Troll troll troll etc etc. if you get what I mean.
And I don't care who c/p's fancy pants or no fancy pants! I will climb upon my high horse and stay there, ever glaring with nose upturned. lol :P
Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice!
