Thanks, AgentS... it will be a pleasure to have the "family" look at the WIPS. Plus, I'm using this challenge to learn XSI, so it will be fun (I hope) to see where I will surely crash into something I just don't know how to do :) @xenic101 : you're right. Darn, now I'm over with those sketches. I just hate them. :) I'll begin roughly blocking the scene out and get rid of my 6th_grade drawings :p S.
