First off looks great Kurt, as always i'm in no position to crit it.

Maybe having a go at some stuff like this (maybe to quite as good mind user added image), but drawing on my game addiction (very sad i know) will help get me started again. I miss playing in maya and posting around here, i just don't seem to have to will power to say "No, not going to happen" to WoW and actually open maya for more than 2 minutes these days.
