If he's gone there will be another one nothing he does is unique remember this you wannabe artists.
Non of these characters is his own Blood and tear work NONE.
All of them are stolen (pirated) from other either Real ARTISTS created from HUMAN Data.
It is hard to call this even modding "a very technical thing of conversion mostly, in the case of porting GAME characters especially" ART the main ART was already done in what you are converting as a result, except maybe you have your very own way of making it function uniquely for VAM or you change the entire idea of the Artist behind it and mesh out something unique.
You are selling your time nothing more TOBI19 remember that you are no Real Artist.
Even under this perspective Crazy3DModeler is a Real Artist, there are very few who could call them real Artists when it comes to conversion others work.
A real Artist over time also develops his very own Signature in his Work it becomes part of him it becomes really unique often though it is hard to see with Game characters that are mostly human clones nowadays.
Mostly for Conversions what count's is tech Art Skills and more skills on the tech side then the ART side.
I would never ever take the word im a Artist in my mouth if i would only convert others work without a unique touch overall under those skill assumptions TOBI19 is weak he's not on the level of JACKAROO for example, losing him would be a real loos and something to mourn about.
His lose would be really none believe me he will be replaced in no time by someone else and this is going on continuously there are more and more converters spreading out of the NOOC Hive.
And questionable if he would even survive VAM 2.0 without a lot of help from others.
And even if you don't want to believe it it is much harder replacing someone like Crazy3dModeler and Jackaroo than Tobi19.
Crazy3DModeler and Jackaroo are true Artist also if it is maybe harder to understand for Jackaroos work as he mainly also does conversions but his work is really unique and it is crazy that he doesn't starts to show his own Signature entirely and leaving those conversions beyond
Tobi19 is currently more in the group of special target group "demand supplier" nothing more and he is neither a very advanced TECH nor ARTIST.
immyneedscake is also 10x more advanced then him if you want a rating board as "modder capabilities"
Fresh Blood is coming in all the time, next wave is going to arrive with 2.0, though it will be a more advanced wave like in the beginning
Some might spread out to Mirage we'll see but seeing Morgana stuck in a 4-6 Hour Workflow and the Hair problem is going to come closer hitting full power it's still very open if the head start of it before VAM 2.0 alpha/beta will be so impressive at all as some believe it to be we'll see it will all depend on how efficient Morgana will be able todo it for now it looks not so promising not surprisingly being now forced more and more into the Unity Main Workflow and all it's restrictions on the creation part and also the import tough VAM 2.0 is going the same way now for more interop flexibility and easier sync with the Main Unity Core.
And overall both have no real other decision space at all which is sad and destroys especially some of the key points that made VAM so successful but without full Source XS to Unity no Chance todo it different being flexible.
It will be a really interesting race to a efficient workflow and finding some good problem solutions and who knows when 2 are fighting trying to solve new problems this might give some unexpected 3rd some time to surprise which for now looked like to be far in the back of both of it's possible contenders in several key areas but now i would say it could become interesting again, as a rather hidden project in dev for some time.
