For learning this stuff I'd suggest 3dsmax to start with, dont even worry about sculpting till your pretty good at it.
I'd work on some models that just use diffuse maps first, before trying to tackle normal maps, just to learn your modeling/uving/ texturing without being overwhelmed...
Photobucket isn't working for me. I can't see any photos at all on the site. Mine or anyone elses through browsing.. They changed the site since I was there before. Really wish they'd stop changing it and leave a good thing good. Help please.
I didnt use any photosource textures in these, the biggest cheat I do is using custom grunge brushes. But these days they say to use photos, brushes whatever you can to make it look real, for the 'high quality' style of next gen. So on my next portfolio project I'm going to try photo...

I looked at your sketches too really good stuff. though they have alot of flaws, I like them and you draw pretty well.
