Just a little pet peeve...  When people give backwards compliments...  Example... One I got today from a coworker... he was pointing out that I've lost weight."Last time I saw you, you're face was very round, now you look much less round.  You're face looks thin."He doesn't speak English very well...

Got a couple pics from the festival of Lights.  Went with my boyfriend and a bunch of his friends.  It poured rain all night and we were drenched to the bone by the end... but with fireworks+lightning, it was SO worth it.  And that sunset was freaking AMAZING.Festival of Lights (Group)Festival of Lights (Group)

I'm finally graduated!  College is finished, I have my diploma and my portfolio website is up and running (though I still need to work on a gallery a bit...)

If you have been following my demo reel brain dump blog, you'll already have a good idea of what to expect.  On the index page is my demo reel featuring my mermaids, my TikiWiki Sariswati character model and a model of Deadpool.

Please, check it out and let me know what you think!

Okay, so it's the end of the semester and I'm graduating on Friday.  Everyone has been scrambling to finish renders and put our demo reels together.

From Thursday  to the time I'm typing this on Tuesday afternoon, I have gotten MAYBE 12 hours of sleep...  that's only 2-2.5 hours of sleep a day.

I'm so exhausted and since yesterday, have been sick (sore throat, coughing, dizziness, migraines) from sleep deprivation. 
Needless to say, I just really want all of this to be over and done with...

And at this point, I am nearly finished.  I'm waiting for one last scene to render (occlusions take SO LONG TO RENDER!!!!  GAH!!!... I'm rendering it out over 3 computers because it's slightly faster...), but everything else is in place and I am now tweaking the music and transitions.

I have to get everything looked over and approved by my instructor... He'll be making the last decision to if I pass or fail tomorrow, and that includes to if I get to participate in the grad show.  All I can say about that is I had better pass... I have a lot of family flying out this way to see the portfolio show and I really don't want to disappoint them... not to mention that I really don't want to do this all over again... and I have never flunked a class in my life, I'll be damned if I start now.

Oh my gosh...  the poor guy on the other side of the room is sleeping over 4 computer chairs... looks so uncomfortable...

Uggh... I had better get back to work...

It has been 2 months since the student project I worked on has been launched.  The group has entered it into a few competitions, and so far we have won the title of Best Student Project from the PopVox awards.  We still have yet to see how we fair in the Make it Unreal competition.

Wining our first competition has made me realize that I had never posted the trailer for you all to see.  So without further adieu, here is TikiWiki.
  

Tikiwiki is a UT3 MOD set on the island of AhiWai. Two tribes, the Sariswati (Water Tribe) and the Ignatus (Fire Tribe), are struggling as the resources they require to survive are dwindling mysteriously. They do not like conflict, and will do anything to avoid outright war and bloodshed. The tribes have come up with a system of gathering resources in a competitive nature as the elders work to find the truth behind the disappearing resources.

Hey guys.

So I'm in a bit of a predicament.  Next week a bunch of people from my school are throwing one of their quarterly themed parties.  Last semester it was everyone had to have a mustache.  This time, it's everyone has to dress as a favorite superhero.

Now, I'm really stuck, as most of my favorite super heroes are male, and I do want to dress as a female character.

So I need ideas!

And no DC...  I'm not going as Powergirl...

Also, budget is an issue, so the more ideas posted, the more options I have.  And I will be posting pictures from the party when it comes around.

Thanks in advance guys!
