Ah, thanks for your kind words, Bazza, and I wish you and your wife peace and happy memories of your little poodle, Rosie .. we are so fortunate to have these dear little creatures grace our lives. 
As to deviantArt – I recommend it highly – and while I love my paid account, all the accounts, including the free ones, are very functional and have excellent galleries to show your work – because there is space for commentary below each image (after you click the thumbnail to view it) it can be very good for displaying short tutorials too.
I also use image shack for storing images I want to link to.
I’ve had my eye on ZBrush for some time now – on my wish list!
. My impression of ZBrush is that it will be high-poly, as are Vue and Poser (which I have). However, for game-building, my present need is to model all sorts of low-poly items, organic and not*.
Yes, [b:7ts3a7n9]Alan[/b:7ts3a7n9], some tutorials please!
I know it’s possible to produce wonderful organic results, even while keeping the polys under control, and I want to learn!
Thanks for all the good links Bazza, I’m going to have fun with those.. I’m sure I will enjoy the tutorials you mention. I like both written and video tutorials.. they are useful in different ways 
Well now I’m all fired up.. and I have to go to work
(heh heh.. patience required)
Here are a couple of high-poly characters I did in Poser will have to be redone totally for game andgt;_andlt;

[b:7ts3a7n9]Edit:[/b:7ts3a7n9]Ooh… watched one of those videos, and see there are good possibilities for reducing the polys .. wow! 
Actually, I’d really like to do models of Finny my little cartoon goldfish character, and his friends [img:7ts3a7n9]http://home.earthlink.net/%7Ebetterpaw/page_01.htm[/img:7ts3a7n9]
