So did Jaerik ever ink that pic? Even though it's apparently jpg compression, it looks very clean, I wouldn't have thought it'd be too hard to clean the lines back up with some photoshop adjustments. I could be wrong though, as much as I use photoshop, I actually kinda suck at it.

On topic, I use maya more than anything, with a bit of photoshop on the side, and after effects for compositing. I'm also just starting to use mudbox a bit, but really need a tablet for that and I'm really not very good with it :x

This is a matte painting I did for a recent assignment, it's mostly photoshop, but the fog is a maya fluid effect. I didn't actually change it much from it's example settings, but I rendered it out in layers according to depth and then only used the alpha channel to mask a 100% white layer to re-create it in photoshop.

A pack of 12 Daler Rowney sketching pencils. They've got labels like 8B, 2H, HB and F. No idea what that means. >_>

A pack of 50 Crayola Colored Pencils, which I rarely use because... I forget I have them until I've already shaded everything in pencil.

73769328607287290 Sketch Books used to various degrees.

2 Mechanical Pencils which I use as erasers. I really should get proper ones.

Photoshop for colouring line art.
I do have other stuff like a full set of B and H pencils but I can't say I have any trouble shading with mechanical tbh...
