Hi James, >>I tried to sell the idea of animation to him, spent about an hour listening to how much emotion he puts into his work (it was VERY nice work, I'll admit) only to have him tell me the computer stuff was still too cold (I do feel he was being sincere).<< From a certain artistic point of view, I agree with him. But with all the cool image editing packages out there with brush stroke filters and other neat stuff, can't we add a 'painted' feel to our images?
