anyone remeber what happened with the free point thread last year? :p

i'd vote for me... and everyone else, so i guess everyone but me would win :p

are we going to different categories as mention in the first post if there are enough entries?

that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D

Nice, I have two renders that complement each other to get a better idea of my ship because it is somewhat in the dark with many shadows.

I do wish I known you could post more than one image at the start of the comp, I had a great idea of doing a few pages of a graphic novel but thought it was a single image challenge.
Never mind, I had loads of fun with this challenge, and it's only helped me improve so all is good!
Some great work done by all in my opinion!

Sorry, my thinking the site had vanished for a while has delayed my ability to get results and such. I'll try to have it taken care of this coming weekend. Thanks for your patience!
