Screenshot of a ear I made. I think it turned out nice for the first ear I made in Maya.I used my own ear, and followed the contours by touch to get the ridges right, No visual reference.

My model assignment for my 3D modeling class is almost there. (Thus only for educational purposes, not for commercial use).
Based on Tracy Butler’s character Ivy Pepper from Lackadaisy Cats. So go check out the comic. Its a great comic, please go check it out. (She retains all rights to her character.)

I doubt I am finished with it, but it is what I have completed in a few hours of work. I am getting the graph editor of Maya so easily now. I am excited that I am one step closer to being an animator! I know this is a basic exercise, but I am just that excited.

Name: Office Set.
Assignment: for 3D Modeling class. Assignment #2 Build an office and desk set. Must have a glass object, three point lighting and textures and bump mapping.
As you can see I went through a lot of tweaking to texture the scene nice enough. I just done a Tardis because I was bored and I love Doctor Who!

Some random school assignments from when I went to Shasta College. Sorry for the poor quality photos. I need to invest on a new scanner, but since I do more digital work now than I use to. I haven't got around to it.
One day I'll upload better copies.

Old random sketches from years prior. I have them hanging on my wall to inspire me, that not all artwork is refined, but still holds value to me as a memory.

I did this before I ever took any animation courses.
