for some reason this site loads suuper slow for me. is it like that for everyone?

with my old forum we'd just have to clear the cache and it would speed things up. but i didn't get involved with much of the coding type biz

So Steve you just do work for companies or what? You sell your work or something? Im curious cause i sucked with Photoshop but if i could learn to do stuff like this thatd be so amazing. Im going to college to be a Mechanical Engineer in hopes of one day maybe designing aftermarket car parts if not cars in general so being able to do amazing art like this would be a very useful "tool" if i can say that.

It's my own little company thing, don't get much business at all, but i made maybe 200 last year just from local bands and stuff. i'd love to get some work from bigger business, i am gonna try steppin my advertising game up a bit.

it takes quite a while to learn the basics of photoshop, but once you've got them down, it just takes lots of practice, and like mentioned, tutorials are super useful. just keep at it!

My friend is actually in univeristy for mechanical engineering now! Good work man, i know how huge the work load is. it would be a good little tool, but honestly 3d drafting is even more beneficial! you can design your part, inside out, and every angle that exsists!
