Crawling Monster?

[GreyFox]

Lol, Well I'm a fast learning but I looked at maya and was utterly confused within the first few seconds (video)

For Example I Made a Source Mod, Within 2 Days Of Playing Around with the SDK,
Unreal Engine 3 I made a Few Maps Within Hours of getting it.
I Have a Knack for design I believe. (so many Ideas haha)

But Maya.... Holy S*** that looks difficult haha

And oh yea I'll Check out blender. One Question. If Say I could actualy do this crawling Monster In Maya, Would there be any diffrences in it if I did it in blender? (Just wondering why Blender is Free and Maya is like 3 Grand)

Thanks
