my skin/accent collection having bloomed to over 200, i am finally qualified to answer a dr question. let's just see, i'll try to include a couple relatively active ones not listed on the other list...
- endings, formerly euclidean. painterly style? - katalist. very detailed, plaguey/horror stuff often but not exclusively - wispi. definitely eye-catching. their newer stuff has great colors and florals. - tuath. really likes smoke. very accent-y accents? idk how to describe it. - nonaline. together with frfrfr is cutting into spassow's former niche after the latter was thoroughly cancelled for plagiarism. - rndzvs. relative newcomer to the scene but i personally really love their work thus far!
not quite as active, but i'd be remiss not to mention, - ado, formerly lirim, adomaniia, paxx. doesn't do regular UMAs much anymore but the ones they have done are cool as hell. angelic-themed mostly. - spinaria. same as the above- infrequent releases since customs money. but a majority of their non-custom skins are infinitely reprintable and available in their shop.
(side note: a bunch of rangsky's are ALSO reprintable, and it pisses me off every time i see someone scalping them to unsuspecting buyers! i have legit seen people selling their in-print accents for three to four times the shop price. check their shop first, and support the artist!)
as for my individual accent picks, i'd say... hesperidean by apel, thousand wishes by jeana, and the -lit moon series by viverridae!
if you're really curious, the dragon that holds my accent hoard is 55550000. note i have a heavy bias towards florals, but there is a little bit of everything in there stretching back about 6 years.
