The assignment was to pose Stu (the 3D character provided by AM) from a sketch taken through real world observation. It morphed from a guy dancing into the "Elaine dance" which turned out pretty good after some helpful critiques. For those of you who do not know what the "Elaine dance" is you have been greatly deprived. Please click here to get your fix. Hopefully I can get the first section of my portfolio up soon.

Finally we get a snow day! To bad it came on a Sunday. Oh well, beggars can't be choosers. At least it's a perfect reason to stay in a watch football.

I can't wait to start but I'm a little worried because I haven't used Maya in almost 2 years. It's great though, I got that "excited/scared" feeling. Like 98% excited, 2% scared. Or maybe it's more. It could be, it could be 98% scared, 2% excited. It's confusing but that's what makes it so intense!

Tonight I have my first Live Q&A with my mentor and classmates. I'm looking forward to meeting everybody and getting to know the people I'll be working with for the next 3 months.

Back to school. Back to school, to prove I'm not a fool. I got my lunch packed up, my boots tied tight, I hope I don't get in a fight. Ohhhh, back to school. Back to school. Back to school. Well, here goes nothing. I'm starting school at AnimationMentor.com tomorrow. Wish me good luck!

Nice! A redesign to kick off the New Year. I'm still working on the portfolio but here is the basic layout. Since organizing my portfolio is going to be a pain in the ass, I'll be updating it by section. Check back soon for updates!
