Mloates, thanks for the message and also the comment in the gallery! A couple of the textures were pretty hard to get that effect but once it looks right, you get that sense of accomplishment. :) I was going to do something out of the ordinary w/ some DTE work, but I figured why not try to model some textures towards how my typical work is. I think that was more of the challenge than anything...to try to get a DTE-filled picture to fit in with the rest of my gallery. It was a lot of fun to do! :) MD
