Yeah from the UK about 2 years ago. Visa process wasn't too bad, but I'm on an H1-B which means my wife can't work on my visa. We've just had a baby though so she's probably not going to be working for quite some time anyway!
Oh man, I'm following a paid tutorial right now on rigging in Maya, and it's hitting a lot of those points. This guy has me ripping my hair out. At one point he spent a full minute explaining the use of the B hotkey to change the brush size. It almost seems intentional.
Spec Power is Roughness/Gloss values, which dictates how tight and small the highlight is. Spec Power is what defines a material at the end of the day, so make sure you create a proper mask for it (which need to be straight up B&W values without any real details in them).

They all climbed into thier bunkers about 6 years ago when B. jr was elected. They emerged 2 years ago only to find out all the insane people had elected him again and went back into hiding. Hopefully 2 years from now they will come and restore order...

A small update! Did some more skin variations and a quick B&W test render. I also did a few more thumbnails, but I've decided to go with my initial sketch. If time permits I may take a crack at one of these as well, we'll see! Now on to the final piece!
