Its a free, very light and completely intuitive program that gets great results.  This was a piece that didn't take more than an hour and I was just getting used to how the program operates and what things I can accomplish with it.  I guess right off the bat in the free version its difficult to get a feathered blend with whats availible.  But then again, this isn't PS and I'm probably doing something wrong.

Yes, I did wind up getting a job tho not in illustration.  For my first I'd say its not bad, I am currently exploring brushes and Edwin is giving me techniques to make life easier.  Some of the materials in this seem too soft and don't represent very well.  I'm happy tho that my concept didn't wander far from what I had originally intended so for that....I will drink.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8336726676200627968-5808971358094290462?l=bennorcross.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bennorcross.blogspot.com/feeds/5808971358094290462/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8336726676200627968&amp;postID=5808971358094290462' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8336726676200627968/posts/default/5808971358094290462'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8336726676200627968/posts/default/5808971358094290462'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bennorcross.blogspot.com/2007/02/first-postold-art.html' title='First Post!...old art'/><author><name>Benjamin Norcross</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12352575570516383809</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_OgVU0oq0DVY/ReJCimbblMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/SJYCC6j-2Ww/s72-c/tunnelfire_sample.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
