I know about half of these texture makers - I'm gonna have to check out the other ones. I love browsing for textures. *g*

Hi-5 , because I almost have an addiction of checking out textures, psds and actions :p, though I already have more resources than I can ever possibly use in my creations. I end up repeating same one. :/

I used to have an external hard drive filled with tons of textures/brushes/other resources and all of my screencaps (both collected over time from various sites and my own). I'm talking 200gb of screencaps here. ...and then the hard drive shorted out and I lost all the data. All my resources, all my screencaps, and all my saved icons and other graphics. That was a few years ago and I'm still upset about it - mostly the screencaps though because some of them were from sites that have long since disappeared and I haven't been able to recover my screencap collection. The worst part of it was that it was by stupid coincidence that I had deleted my backup copies just a couple of days before because I needed the hard drive space for something else - I had already ordered another hard drive to be my new backup, but then disaster struck before I could copy any of my files to it.

One good thing about the whole mess was that I had to go texture hunting again and I lost many evenings to browsing DeviantArt and old LJs for textures and caps. *g*

That's so very frightening ! Because I realize I've no copy of my resource folders as well. I've separate files for Icon textures, icon psds , Tumblr psds, tumblr textures and deviant art psds ! Yup , I like being organized ( though I don't use them much ! It's for mental peace purpose !! :D ).
Holy Satan ! O_0 200 Gb !!!!!! Gosh ! I immediately delete out my screen caps once I've made icons and that's why I'd never be able to icon redo type challenges because it's not really possible to find out the exact screen cap by fluke again.
Yeah I get what u mean. Perusing resources is immensely de-stressing.
