Vedic...I've seen some ad's for a 3d design school out there in OREGON...have you ever gone there? I forget the name off hand but I guess its a pretty nice school...

you seem to have the skills....

Cracks me up how many programs we use to get a job done I know I use pad and architects pencil to do quick sketches...then I scan it into Corel Paint....to trace out a clean drawing...then into photoshop.... :p or vice versa depending on what I need to do... I really have to work on my 2d...you seem to have a good grasp on that too. Nice detail. You have an Anime/Manga, Comic book style. I like it
