Not all art is applied to a ready stretched canvas. In my day job as a web designer, I come across a lot of graphic design and sometimes 3D design. This latter type of art is a highly specialised niche and one which demands a lot of respect. It's not something you can do after spending a couple of hours messing about with Photoshop.
If the process of creating 3D digital art interests you then the website of Kay Patterson - www.therailwaychild.com - should be worth a visit. Kay is creating a number of 3D characters as an art project. Have a look through the blog on the site and see how she created the skin for the Coin Dragon - it really is quite inspired.
