Just started work on a custom arcade-style stick controller that will eventually be compatible with PS1,2,3. Still waiting on some parts to get in.

Yeah that looks great.

I did a LOT of sketching in highschool but never got that good. Only when I'm basing my drawings on existing designs I can get to that level of quality. Then again my father never really tried to develop my talent - I wanted to go to art school (which was every wednesday afternoon and saturdays) since I was 10 but I wasn't allowed to. I'm good at drawing Belgian style comics but it's the really detailed designs I'd love to be good at.

Interesting, could you give me some examples of Belgian-style comics? I'm not familiar with any Belgian comics I don't think.

There's tons:

The Smurfs
Suske & Wiske (also known as Bob & Bobbette and a million other names)
Tin Tin (or Kuifje in Dutch)
Robbedoes (or Spirou)
Lucky Luke
Brav
o
Guuist Flater (Gaston Lagaffe)
Buck Danny
Biebel
Kiekeboe
Bakelandt (which is one of the few popular comics which goes beyond rather simplistic drawings)
Rode Ridder (another exception)

Oh, man... Tintin is just awesome! I was crazy about it when I was a kid. My mom even used to call me "little miss Haddock" because I was often in that "Captain Haddock mood".

Billions of blue blistering barnacles! I particularly liked the treasure hunt with the model ship, and the Castefiore emerald... Now that's a happy childhood memory
