Comment on The field by thefirstfleet
It takes massive amounts of time, and I'm still just an amateour. It took me years to get to this level, and there is loads I have to learn before I even begin to scrape the bottom of prodom.
I had an amazing teacher,
, who has died last year, a great loss for me and the 3D community here on DevArt. He showed me not just the basics, but the "philosophy" behind the thing.
I also chewed through a 20 hours long tutorial video to make the Serenity from Firefly. That also taught me many tricks I am using.
But, like I said, I am far, far away from being a pro. I'm an enthusiastic amateour.

Aww, I'm sorry your mentor has passed away... 
I went and gave him a llama and a fave on "Sister Ships" just now. I hope they continue to keep his gallery open to inspire others, he was a really great artist... Oh, and after seeing his WIP on the Enterprise nacelles, all I can say is WOW... I have even more respect for all of you who work in 3D art now, whether you're professional or so-called "amateur" or whatever else! Soooo many lines to keep track of on the screen...
