Well, honestly, I have several 3d modelling programs, but I lack the patience to learn how to use them. I prefer photo manipulation and 2d art to that anyway really. I think the only reason why someone would need 3d is if they plan on doing animation with the characters. I mean, I could pull up Skyrim and make a guy who looks like what I visualize, but the 2d is cooler because of the clothes and all and being able to save it as a png and put in whatever I want in the background.
