How to use /cut

Hi guys.
Just wanted to give you a heads up, I know some of you are aware of how to use cuts, but it's a good thing to know. Please use a cut if you're posting a lot of text, larger videos or longer embeded media files, more than two or three images, etc.

Cuts will show as a link on your post that will send the reader to the full blog entry. It cuts down on lag and slow loading times on the blog, and post flooding.

Please use: < !--more-- > (no spaces when you add) in the HTML post section of your update, before the content that you want to cut, it will automatically add in the link for the full entry.

Thank you-

Reels

I'm doing resume-y things, so all I have to show atm is demo reels. Here's my general one. Whatcha think?

This one is more of an FX, and less of a modeling one.

A modeling reel too.

Rat/Preying Mantis thing

I've been in a bad mmod and watching the syfy channel lately, so here's a a rat/preying mantis thing. :-)

I don't really like the head. I think I might change it to something more insect-like. Here's part of the under-drawing I did.

Bunny Hat

A short zoetrope? I think that's what it's called. It was a small assignment, that I put a little more effort into it.

Lauren here! I'm not sure if this will actually post under my name (as this is the first time I've done this, it's late, and I'm under the influence of Too Much Lady Gaga Music), but here goes:

I, too, have been bitten by the Homestuck bug. Which prompted me to create...this, in homage to the ironic beauty we all know as Hipster Ariel.

Oh, Eridan. You and your godsbedamned Science Stick ruining everything for everyone. May your PBR be eternally warm in whatever layer of Hipster Hell you wind up occupying.

Prrrnnnttss

Good morning! This is the intaglio print that I may or may not have promised from a while back. Whoops. Anyways, umm yeah, sugarlift, whiteground, and aquatint, purposely underwiped because I'm a derp. In other news, I'm super happy, as my Sketch for Japan fund is at almost $200 after only a couple days! :D

Model Portfolio

WOAH, Junior Review was sort of a nightmare to plan for. I made all these turntables.. which took way longer than they should have! So here those are... nothing really new, just more presentable.

I also have my vase, which I haven't uploaded yet, and my 'Redgirl' which is still naked and probably counts as 'mature content'.

The Shipyards of Mars

This isn't great, but it's been a while since I did straight sci-fi. This is a setting I may develop further, I was just getting the feel for it really.

Update, and a Renewed Outcy

The book, such as it is, stands at 23,232 words and eight chapters. I will be wrapping the first "act" in the next two chapters and, if all goes well, I will have the rough draft done by mid-April.

That's when things will get interesting. I want to publish it, because damn it I've invested too much time to only have a handful of people read it, but I would rather not go the conventional route. To that end I have created a Kickstarter account for the Chorus.

I'm not asking you to contribute to it, just to take a look, maybe tell some folks, help me spread the word. I don't know what I need, or whether I deserve to get it, but I would appreciate anything really. Even if that is just someone telling me that I'm full of crap and should probably stop wasting my time.

So I thought I should include some of my ceramic art, (now on display at Wilson Library at the U of M) (!), to give some context to my architectural explorations... These pots are actually from the very beginning of last semester, so it's been a while...
