It depends on how you approach the image. I used to just slap a simple model in, texture it with whatever, and go...;)
Now I spend most of my time UVMapping, rotating faces to all line up, finding jpgs that weren't created in Photoshop (Wings won't read them unless you convert them to another format, then back to jpg...sigh...;) and I lose sight of just getting the images in my head from my brain through my fingers, and onto the screen...;)

I have a simple text file where I write down picture ideas as they come to me (half-asleep, in the shower, etc., bet I'm not alone in that...;)

. Now if I only had the time to do them more often.

I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit
