SUMMARY- I am itching to try this. I read through the book pretty carefully, and despite my problems translating 3D into 2D, I really think I could do this. And it looks really cool. I have lots of experience painting miniatures and I've played around with colored pencils and Prismacolor markers. I'm not the farthest you can be from being an artist, but you can certainly easily see it from where I'm standing. If I think I can do this, you can too.
