What ever happened to ....? (long lost authors)

July 29, 2004 2:47:47 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
Hi peoples,
Just cruising through the older wb designs and came across one of the really great artists of yesteryear. Anyone know what became of author: Jay-z2k ? is he using another nick now? has he gotten out of skinning? has anyone kept in touch?

I'd love to see the skins he did updated to the latest wb build.
and he's just one of many who've dissapeared leaving really great skins that cannot be updated.

anyone else have a long lost author they'd like to see updating their work?

One name that frequently comes up in the Sardock irc channel is Shawn Murdock.
A few of us are big fans of his stuff, and for a while it looked like he was gearing up to get back into things, only to to vanish again.

maybe... just maybe, this thread will cause some ripples in the waters of skinning and if they're out there somewhere, it'll get back to them that they're missed.
I sure hope so.

CygnusXII Wonders where that Scathing Mod from SkinZ.org Shoggot wandered off too?
His Skythe skinz (if I remember correctly) was one of the very reason I got into Skinnable Apps) Who remembers EFX??? Now that's a jump to the past.

well, lets see, that makes it 5 missing skinners and the thread's only just in its infancy!
how many more are there out there with great work that is begging to be updated to the latest build?
please feel free to continue this thread on other skinning sites in hopes these skinners will hear they're missed.

Yeah, I really loved Shawn Murdock's skins. His Sigma series are still among my favorites.

And let's not for get D.A.K. His WBMania skins were fat, phat and funky.

And then there's Crumbut and Mercury among others.

And yeah, DaWebMassa, come back, we miss you!

Mwah. I think it was was wise of them to quit early. Better to move along soon than to stay forever and become the resident couch potato.

And then there's Crumbut

Chad hasnt quit skinning, he's just changed 'area'. He's co-running some cargame related site and the game supports 'skins' of some sort.
(cant remember the link to the site atm)

craeonics,
moving along is cool, just wish they'd stop by now and again and update their great work, or even add to their collection.

The Professor is another sadly missed author.

Transmutate....my Aussie mate who made great walls.

Nuvem never shows his face here either.

And Boxxi is so right : The Professor is missed very much

And not to forget D.O.T and Copland for icons.
