Yeah, I hate added pressure, but some of my best stuff comes from requests because I actually try harder to impress.
Also, If I could make money from this, would be cool...but I'm not that good, and wont ever try to become a professional cause I do this for fun, and only Anime/Game sigs and stuff. I hate using real life/human renders, and I cant do abstract for my life.
I respect the people in web design though..some of the stuff they come up with are pretty awesome.
