Re: LA or Montreal?
I've lived in the suburbs of NY all my life and I know LA is somewhat similar (fast paced, expensive, hectic, stressful). I've always heard Montreal to be much more relaxed.

Relax MoP I agree with you, just couldn't resist. =P Having worked on my own TF2 map, it was a bitch to set up and figure out but after that, it was very simple to create a batch file that created a default .qc file.

Re: Character Art - Zhou Yu (Battle of Red Cliff 2008)
Thanks! I was wondering about the hands, they seem to look better in the relaxed pose, but I'll add some variations here so its easier to decide.
