I'm routinely amazed by how prolific some of you guys are, creating art that's better than mine and much much more frequently.

I work full time and have work around the house I have to do in the evenings but I'm betting most everyone else works a lot too so I'm coming to the conclusion that you guys are just a hell of a lot faster at rendering than I am. It's pretty friggin' impressive and leads me to believe I must be doin' it wrong.

To that end, I tried a different rendering technique tonight and while it's looking pretty nice, it's even slower than how I'd been doing it. Doh! Ohwell. Back to the drawing board.
