Hello Chipp!

@You: "...when I'm not too sick..."

Hmmm...English is not my native language...
When you say "sick" did you mean "infirm"?
If so, I'm very sorry about that!!!
I hope nothing serious!

@You: "...Funny how I'm doing a lot of the same stuff I did here..."
It's true! It's the same old story :)
But I think it's not like "reinventing the wheel".
It's like watching the same subject from different angle :)

@You: "...Thanks for the kind words... hope you're doing well :-)..."

You're welcome!
Oh...I'm so busy this (long long period)!
In my (late at night) spare free time, NO more 3D for the moment but practicing and studying freehand digital painting with my Cintiq and iPad Pro :)

Have a nice day!
