Yeah I was a super early member of cgtalk (in the first 200 members IRC) and Sijun to. Loved the speed painting threads on Sijun...what a great forum! I had some of the best constructive feedback from there.
Can't forget raph.com either, for my daily dose CG eye candy!!
Cgtalk back then was an amazing time, suddenly the world's cg artist's where chatting and sharing work and techniques. It was pre-zbrush days which for some will be like, so how did you work??
Topology was king , poly by poly Vs box modelling and which is greatest modelling app where hot topics!
I recently had this total moment of nostalgia when our lead character artist at work says... "I was digging through my old 3d reference files and boom found Nicks CGtalk topology images" :) from 18 years ago...
Reminds me I still remember your Maya skin shading tutorial from around the sametime , I tried to recreate it in Lightwave :)
