Thank You guys, I really appreciate the feedback :)  It's very interesting!

Thanks Ziggie, it was looking all lonely and unanswered... I must be asking some awkward questions :( sniffle

I have a few considerations/concerns about taking the merchant route...

• I like the idea of sharing the models if people end up liking them, probably more for the ego compensation then a monetary one, for now, since I do have a full time job.

• I like artsy things, and I particularly like doing it with other people.

• I like to test and stretch my skills, and putting packages for others to use would certainly do that, and is also likely to keep my motivation higher.

- One of the drawbacks would be that my time is limited, with a CAPITAL L Limited, and in my mind, to sell the product, I would have to up the quality. That translates to more time...

• I could do freebies, which is what I plan on doing for the time being... but some of the things I end up modelling may be of the similar type that others are trying to sell... So, just because I'm learning, or building a portfolio, or don't have time to treat it like a business, I don't want to contrubute too much to devaluing other people's efforts...

Well, just thinking out loud here, thanks for reading... :)
