I finished three more sections in the portfolio; digital art, branding & printwork. Four down two more to go!
Wow!!! There is actually something in the portfolio section! That's right folks, the Traditional Art section is up and running. I am still tweaking it so if you run into some errors that's because I'm tinkering around in there. Enjoy!
One of my New Year's Resolutions was to keep up with my website. It's been almost five weeks and still no portfolio section! Grrr!!! It's been tough with work and school. Animation Mentor is a blast by the way! I'm learning new principles every week and makes me wonder why I didn't enroll earlier. Anyway we are working on bouncing balls and poses. It may not seem glamorous but it's really fun stuff. Hopefully I can get the Traditional Art section up soon.
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

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!
