If you can afford it, I would highly recommend Photoshop :)
It is the perfect segue to make the transition from traditional art to digital art painless!
If you cannot afford Photoshop - then I would suggest Paint Shop Pro. Paint Shop Pro also allows you to download and try-out their software for [I think it is 30 day period].
As to getting into 3D - as a traditional artist myself, I started with Poser and Bryce. Loved Poser, but had a hard time getting use to the Bryce interface, and have since gone with Vue d'Esprit, which is a little bit more user friendly for the beginner :)
Let us know which software you decide on and post a link to your first creation.
Again - To get your "started", you might want to try the demo version of Paint Shop Pro - just for the sheer fun of it.
Ohhhhhhh And a MUST have - You have to get yourself a drawing tablet! This is truly a must purchase if you wish to do artwork on the web - it replaces your mouse as a drawing tool!
Best of luck!
