I found out through Facebook,(of all places) that I was nominated for Individual Achievement Category for "Production Design in a Television Production"!!! Of course this doesn't guarantee I'll win, hardly so, as competition is stiff! But, I'm excited that I even got a chance! Thanks everyone for all your support and well wishes!
After working on this, I see a bunch of things I'd like to change, so it's still a work in progress. But I'm actually enjoying the animation process in maya much more than I did when I tried animating in maya a few years back. I think I finally understand the process better. Keep tuned and I'll have more stuff up soon.
So, I'm trying to learn Maya and here is a model I'm trying to do of my son. It's coming along, but still has a LONG way to go! I'm hoping I can get some hair on this bald boy and do some facial animation on it once I'm satisfied with the look of this model.
I took a class in Z-Brush. At first I didn't like it. I'm used to modelling in Maya. But I got the hang of it towards the end and was able to produce this.
I am changing as I speak...only God knows where I'll be.
I am a Mom to an amazing little boy, who happens to be severely allergic to multiple foods. We started farming when we realized that the foods we eat can affect us. My Mom had watched a doc where kids in Japan who had severe food allergies were either cured or their allergies reduced when taken out of a heavily polluted environment (city) & fed Organic food exclusively. We don't have the means to move, so we decided we'll start w/the organics. That led to farming our own produce as the organic label is exorbitant. As we dove in head first to grow our own food, a whole new world opened up: GMOs, EMFs, Vaccinations, all linked to injuries and illness. We actually give thanks to God for our sons allergies. It's given us a new perspective of the world.
I'm also a formally trained Animator, Illustrator and Graphic Artist. I do wish I have more time to do more creative things, but for now, my responsibilities to my son's safety are my top priority.
