This past semester has been one of the most stressful.  I have been trying to wrap up classes for graduation and for some reason I decided to save a couple of the hardest classes for last.  I took Business Law, Zoology, and International Relations.  Business Law was an accelerated course and ended early, it was the easiest of the three.  However, Zoology and International Relations have kept me busy.  Between these two classes I have failed to complete anything 3D, which makes me sad.  I cannot wait to get back into Zbrush.  It's nice that this semester is coming to an end, found out I passed my Zoology class with a B (better than I thought I did), and I found out that I'm doing so well in my IR class that I really do not have to even take my final and I'll still get a B.  With this semester ending I am only 2 classes away from graduating and those are online.  I am moving to Ann Arbor, Michigan this Friday (April 29th) and I am starting my internship with the University of Michigan.  I will be working in the 3D lab.  I will be moving into an apartment with one of my best friends and one of the most talented guys I know.  We both have a lot of goals set for ourselves over this next year, as well as a lot of work we want to get done.  I am sad that I am leaving many friends and family behind in Grand Rapids, but this is for the best and they all support me which is great.  This fall I have two classes to take; Drawing, and Capstone.  I have an idea in my head for my capstone project and I hope to have everything ready to present.  This summer will consist of asset building for the scene and getting things ready for the characters.  So to sum things up I'm excited, this move will be a great one both for me and my art.  I will be posting many things for everybody to see.

Finally, the end of the semester has come!  However, just because the semester has ended does not mean the work stops.  I have a list of project I set for myself over the few weeks of break, and it will probably go into next semester.  My list includes: Unwrap and re-render my bust of the black guy in Modo, Finish my Snowboarder and render him, finish my final and re-render it.  As well as work on a Portfolio website for myself.  I have set myself up for a busy holiday break from classes.  I do not have any 3D classes next semester, so I hope to have some time to work on some personal projects.  So with that I will let you all who are reading this get back to what fun thing you were doing.  I hope you all have a great holiday, be safe and create some awesome jaw dropping art!

so yea, for some reason last night I could not sleep, got maybe an hour.  Tonight I cannot sleep again, my mind feels kinda tired, but my body seems like it has energy. I have to laugh that the days I want to stay up late and work I am tired, but the days I want to sleep I cannot.  I have been working on my character almost everyday now, and the model itself is coming along great.  I am hoping to have it done by this friday, or at least the end of the weekend.  I want to take a few weeks to texture and make sure its up to par with what I want to show.  I have been pushing myself to get better and I feel it is showing.  I think if I continue to be awake I am going to start working on a new bust, possibly a self portrait.  But, have a good night everybody.

Well this is a little late, but I figured I post something anyway.  School has started once again, even though I took summer classes right up to almost the end of summer I am pretty happy about the start of school.  Specially my only 3D class, I feel that it will help keep me in line after pulling my hair out over English and Marketing.  I already have a character in mind for the class, and I will be posting updates on here as he moves along.  I also joined the Comicon Competition over at Gameartisans.  I decided to work on the Flash.  I know its not the best choice I could have chosen others, and I probably should have.  Only reason I chose an easier character is time.  With classes and work I really do not know how much time I will have, but I figure better to enter then not to enter at all.  So for some of you I will see you on campus, for others I will talk to you on skype, and for the rest I will see you on the forums! Take care.
