11/12/19 - Big Steps

The main achievement of this milestone was finishing the Creator's head model.  I've been chipping away at it for quite awhile and finishing it was more satisfying than anything else so far in this project.  On top of that I am able to do most of my texturing in a quick and simple way, so I can almost see what the final product will look like already.  There are still small changes to make, but the video below shows pretty much what his skin will be like.

Another important milestone was locking down all of my shots.  I have a story that I am happy with and I am excited to start spending all of my time animating and making music, instead of wasting my time trying to make a scene perfect. In this milestone i also completed a hand model, started a shot list containing every asset that will be put into each shot, and started working on the 2D version of the Creator.  More detail on that still to come...

On top of this big milestone I recently completed another big project.  With a combination of that achievement and all the progress I've made here, I've been thinking a lot about how thankful I am to be doing what I'm doing.  Being able to pursue a career that I enjoy doing is something that very few people get to do, and I try to keep that in mind when going through rough times.  We aren't required to write much in these posts, but I enjoy sharing my thoughts and talking about my process.  I like to think someone else is getting something out of it.  So if you are taking the time to read these I just want to say thanks and I really appreciate it!
