Only a Few Weeks Left

A couple days ago Mike York came to our school to talk about working in the video game industry, and recommended having a blog. If nothing else, you can catalog your progress as a designer/animator/modeler/or any number of other things. So here I am, cataloging my progress so far.

At the moment, I'm working on illustrations for a children's book I wrote for Entomology 105, a piece of facial modeling for my portfolio, a few last attempts at an internship position this semester, and some projects for my travel grant to Japan from last semester. All of these are due within the month, along with various other final projects and assignments, but I like to think I work best under pressure.


This is the facial model I'm currently working on. I've only built a face with this strategy once before (and that was for a cartoon seal), so any suggestions are welcome. I'm trying to model with muscles in mind, but getting something that looks right has been difficult.
