petrol: Cool. Ontario definitely is nice, British columbia really has it's own look and even though I miss Nova Scotia sometimes :P
doylle: Filters can definitely be used in a clever way but I've been steered away from them over time, as you've said they can come acros as being very generic. I've mostly just been encouraged away from them from art directors and peers. Not overly sure what my alternative is to using all filters but I usually photo source most of my textures (Leviathan being the only character I've pretty much painted all by hand) and have found little need for them (excluding the ones I mentioned in the interview.) I also usually work in a lot of layers when making textures and tend to achieve looks that I need through a combination of them (gunge overlays, scale patterns, etc.)
Hope this helps a little!
