magazine now come see it online. This site is really good. It has many tutorials that are indepth
and are helpful and also has many other areas, like reviews of software, Gallery, Forum etc...
Recommended by me.
The Art of Craig Mullins - A really good
artist who creates realistic scenes in Photoshop. He has some information on how he does some of his work.
Dhabih Eng - The person that created some
of the images for the game Half-Life. He has one tutorial which may be expanded to two shortly,
but he does have a really good form that many digital artist go to for help and just for a
general chat. He also has some cool pictures that he has made. It is defiantly worth a look.

page design, creation and anything that is related like JavaScript, CGI, ASP, CSS, FLASH
and much more. This is a place this is defiantly worth a look at.

has many tutorials for LightWave. The tutorials are mainly for Science Fiction scenes but the tutorials
apply to anything you do in LightWave. The one in particular that I think is good it the one on how to
make a Whitestar. This is a really cool ship out of the show Babylon 5. This is a must see web site
because of the tutorials it hosts. Well that is my opinion anyway.
ELMP: Embedded Linux MP3 Player - The offical
home page of the ELMP Project. This is where you find most of the information about the ELMP Project.
If you are good with a computer and your hands then this is a project that would be worth doing. Unless
