I grew up doing oil paintings and pencil drawings, long before personal computers existed.

So I guess for me the computer is an extension of that. A canvas with little mess and no drying time. I think much of how we work is determined by how we approached the art.

This is an entire science unto itself that incorporates many dissaplines (spellings not one of them) Its really impossible for one person to know everything about CG and there is always more than one way to skin a cat. It is our uniqueness and individuality that makes this interesting. If eveyones work was made the same way, using the same techniques, it would be a boring world in CG land
