Hey socalx,
It's not bad, though you have just started with 3D. I like the Duck one very nice.
I have just started 2D recently, I don't have images with me now but i'll paste it soon.
I know how difficult it is to do a single picture, it took long time to edit.
I just forget the name of the program I am using for 2D but I will provide you soon its free.
Thanks for sharing your pics.
