Semi-recently I had attempted to enter a contest to be an accessory creator. The task was to create two accessories that took up two different slots such as Hat, Face, Front, Waist etc.. It's an event that only comes around a now and then and they have a lot of people who try to enter, and it's something I was highly interested in so I decided to throw my hat into the ring. The two ideas I personally came up with was a Earth themed top hat and cracked mask with a scary looking face. I immediately went to work when I saw the event came around and started grabbing my pictures to put my idea together. Overall I feel they turned out pretty well, I think I could have fooled around with the mask idea some more and create something better but it turned out alright. I had received an email a good while later informing me that I did not get picked, they mentioned nothing about the models, but the lack of creating a portfolio on their website and things related to that. I plan to take extra carful steps next time it rolls around and see if I can challenge myself to creating some things that are even better and hopefully get accepted in

 A recent personal project I've been working on has been creating a custom character. A personal friend decided one day to create a little character I could use as a profile picture and ever since he made it, has expanded on it and has become my little own personification of my online self. Since I liked it so much and used it a lot I decided to attempt to make a 3D version in blender. So I asked him to draw a sketched up version of him from the front, back and sides and started to work on him. While it has had it's ups and downs, so far has turned out pretty well. The main thing I left off on was the clothing, I had attempted to start it but scrapped it a few times just because it wasn't working out well. Since I had also barely ever attempted to do hair it let me try that again and it turned out not so bad this time, could still use some improvement, but overall not bad. I want to continue working on this and see if I can actually get a finish product with not such a high triangle mesh count so I can use it in other personal projects.

The hands were a huge pain and after trying a step by step process through a tutorial it turned out pretty well.
