That Luna model on CGtalk is beautiful! I'm floored by all the swirly-Q stuff - there is no way I could ever model that! I have actually just started getting into anime/manga. It's different and I like the way they express emotion (even the exagerrated chibi style). I prefer the toony stuff to the realistic stuff. If I want to see perfectly airbrushed people, I can open any fashion magazine. If one wants to capture more "realism", pick up a camera and go downtown - all the realism you could ever want to see.
