New Lunargyros page from yesterday, yo. The Mean Girls are baaack! (And corrielle, I pimped your reading material. XD)

Yesterday our class also went to EA for lunch. It turns out that we didn't get to see much of the actual offices, because they were holding some kind of gaming conference and apparently we weren't allowed in the area we wanted to tour. D: Dang! I may or may not return for the "other" tour next week. Either way, we ate lunch in their cafeteria (pretty good food for a reasonable price!) and wandered around the lounge, the gift shop and the outdoor areas. They had a bunch of video games up for playage (mostly Golf and their Medal of Honor series) and people spent a lot of time in the gift shop buying new and just-released games for cheap. None of their games really interested me (most were for XBox anyway, which I don't own,) so I didn't buy anything. Except they had a Fawkes plushie and a plushie of the Monster Book of Monsters from Prisoner of Azkaban, so I wanted those. XD;

The grounds also included a fountain to relax by, a gym where you can play video games while on the treadmill (BEST IDEA EVAR) and a volleyball pit and soccer field. Holy cow, those EA guys are sitting pretty! I totally want to work someplace that knows to treat its employees as more than hunks of meat. Haha, yeah, good luck with that.

Also, our teacher's six-year-old son was awful cute. ♥

And since we just had our last surface modeling class, the model for the Strahl is OFFICIALLY DONE:




I'm SO HAPPY WITH HOW THIS CAME OUT. ;_; It's like the first time I've ever done a model that doesn't totally suck! Mayhaps the construction of it still sucks in the long run, because it's less of a cohesive shape and more of a zillion smaller shapes all arranged together or stacked on top of each other. It might also be a bit off-model, considering I didn't have any orthos for it. But regardless, I like the way it looks. (And Stan showed me how to do an ambient occulsion pass so that I don't have to worry about fixing my shadows, since Mental Ray was being a butt!)

I do want to try and texture it later, since I've put this much effort into it, I might as well do more. It's probably gonna be a pain to do, though! I'll have to figure out the texturing on my own time. :O

YAAAAAHAAAAAY IT'S DONE ♥


Otherwise...gettin' up early tomorrow to take some operator shifts and make a smidge of monies. Just like old times!

Drawing: Next LG page, plus I've got a commish and two of those meme-arts I should start on. @_@

Writing: Sporkings when possible; haven't for awhile.
