That model is amazing that is all I have to say, I have a decent background in traditional art

5years in highschool (Including Art History for 2)
Currently doing a Animation and Life drawing along with Anatomy for animation courses at sheridan college in Ontario Canada

So I have a decent background but now I need to learn the program and technical aspects, I don't think I need to go to college to get a degree in 3d if I have the fundementals of art down, I bought the organics DVD today so I'm looking forward to that and hopefully it will swing me into doing some awsome cg work

I sooo hope I can make models with that much detail once I learn maya.
