That's excellent. The Arbiter came out amazing, and while the Chief can be fixed up a bit, l'd be surprised if that didn't win.

Start learning photoshop or painter (or both), then some kind of 3D program (maya, 3D studio, or Blender(a free opensource 3D program)), and with some practice and determination & motivation you'll get very very good stuff... don't forget a lot and a lot of tutorials (best are vids) are out on the web.
I'm still learning the advanced curve of photoshop though.
Anyway good luck.

digital art is wayyy harder than it looks, it can also be an innovation of drawing and computer. It's 20x harder to draw with a mouse than it is with a pencil.

it just depends on which is harder for you. there are some who are better with physically drawing with a pencil or who are better with a mouse. just like there are people better at playing with a keyboard and mouse while many are better at playing with a console controller. just pick whichever seems easiest to you, and practice a lot. take your art to other people for suggestions and criticism.

i didn't say it was easy
HEWL NO!

i just don't consider it art
that's just me tho
but digital art requires SKILL
but NOT talent (not saying i'm talented)
thats what i mean

its hard though, yes indeed

I partially agree with you, there must be a part of art experience (drawing by hand) mixed with talent before starting with digital art. If you don't know how to draw in the 1st place, how can you know how to draw with a mouse? (or a graphic board) If you master how to fill a piece of paper, the power is yours.
Anyway, talent comes with skills one way or another.But if talent is not here at first, it can slowly be forged.
EDIT: and starting to draw with a mouse for me was even harder as i am left handed lol []^_^[]

I don't think you can forge talent

Talent is given
S: (n) endowment, gift, talent, natural endowment (natural abilities or qualities)

Skill is acquired
S: (n) skill, accomplishment, acquirement, acquisition, attainment (an ability that has been acquired by training)

Simply put, some can draw and some can't. I personally am an artist, but I can't play the piano, I'm awkward etc. I can do "real" art, but I also like to mess around with art on the computer. I think it takes just as much talent to draw on photoshop as it takes to draw with a paintbrush.

i believe that you are correct in saying that but i believe that not only skill is acquired but also talent is as well through your peers and friends.
but according to some test it takes 12 trys to get 1 good idea but you get talent by being acknowledged by them but doing some good work.
more or less i am personally better with paint, paint shop pro and cs3.
