Amen to that. I have so many incomplete 3d models it's not even funny. Once, my friend needed some help in modeling the Destiny from Stargate Universe and I said I would help. To this day I still feel bad for not completing my part.

You can use any software and any method you want... you can do an oil painting, model it out of clay, 3d model it, 3d print it, sketch it with a pen/ pencil, finger paints, draw it on an etch-a-sketch there is no limit to how you can do it.

the idea is to help improve people's skills and build up a portfolio

Etch-a-sketch would be pretty awesome.
