If you want to make cool organic character models such as humanoids, aliens and monsters id recommend you get your hands on a copy of Mudbox or Zbrush, these are great for starting out making interesting 3D characters and require little technical knowledge to begin working on. It is a lot harder to make believeable and organic looking 3D characters inside programs like 3D Studio Max or Maya but these are also essential tools to know how to use. In the end, its not really about what tool you decide to use since you can make similar quality work in all 3D applications with the right skills and knowledge of the program. Just pick one (maybe you have money restrictions and need to pick a free one like Blender or Gmax) and then start watching some tutorials and get learning. Hope that helps
