I thought it would be a neat idea to hear what other artists are doing while they are modelling and how you spend these times of concentration and hard work. Are you listening to music, do you sit in a quiet room. Do you work at daytime or in the night? Where do you get your inspiration and how many hours do you work in a row on a model? What do you like the most, the uv-mapping or modelling, and do you have some rituals when you model.

I for one model with Wings 3D, and I like to have some music on, mostly Jazz, Trance, and Instrumental music. I model for about a hour at most in a row, because of taking a break to smoke, or having a walk. After that another hour, often 2 hours a day.
I work most of the time by daytime, I can best perform in the morning. Though drawing uv-maps are best to be done in the evening/night. I get my inspiration from my hobby's and interests. Sometimes by shopping in the mall and seeing some nice crafts whom drool for some time in my imagination. I search Google for images of my upcoming models, wich I use for model and texture reference. I like modelling the most, but I feel completely satisfied when I render my model with texturemap in Poser... oh how sweet!

I'm curious to what, how and when you do it!
*it = modelling :)
