Progress of Thief Fox

How this work started off:

It was originally for a school assignment, where I have to model a 3D character from my own concept.
This is the original work done 2 semesters back.


I felt I could do a new take on this old concept, so I went and change the anatomy a bit, trying to give him more personality and 'coolness' to this sneaky fox


I added a knife and gave him a gun, Then I moved on to give him colours.













So... I'm quite happy some of the fur parts, but I guess I can still improve on the gun and the eyes, somehow something is lost during the painting phase for the face, looking not as cute.

Either ways, thanks for viewing the Thief Fox.

Movie Marathon

So on the flight back to Singapore, I've been rushing through the list of movies I've missed:














Rurouni Kenshin
I really loved this show because I can really connect to this movie, even thouygh I have not really watched the anime. All the characters have some 'realistic' personality to them, and you can relate to the characters. I admit some parts the acting can be better, but it's an awesome movie not to be missed.















Premium Rush
I initially watched it because of joseph gordon-levitt, and the style is similar to many other films he's been in. It has some charm to the way the story is told and it's feels sort of nice in a way.











Total Recall
It's a sci-fi fantasy with a flavour of inception. I don't know, i guess the story is workable, but I had a bit of confusion at thestart of the film.












Dark Knight Rises
It is such a well told movie that ended with a bang. I loved how the previous two movie also somewhat tied in with this show. I would say watch both of the prequel and end the trilogy off with this.














Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days
I feel that this is more like a long TV show and aimed towards a younger audience, but overall still okay.

Alright time to go for a short break... will try to update stuff on FB

'You are always learning.'



Yeah, I would like to discuss about my semester in the city of Redmond, what have I learnt over the course and my new targets or resolutions.
Here's the list of targets I would like to achieve when I get back home.
Watch Movies
Yes, I would really want to watch Paranorman and Hunger Games. I heard hunger games is similar to Battle Royale, so I would want to check out the differences. As for Paranorman, I am quite impressed by Coraline, so I do hope that Paranorman would not fail me in terms of the entertianment value.
Listen to more songs
Whether it is Korean or English, I felt that I have not been updating my playlist, and I think I should if I wanna have more variety of songs to sing in Kbox.
Manga
I suppose I would like to catch up on the manga that I drop from the last time. I haven't been reading on GE, and I hope my brother has good manga to introduce to me.
Running Man
I have been putting this show on hold for too long, and it's about time to chiong watching this show. I think I'm only at episode 37, so I have a lot of catching up to do.
Completing DS + 3DS Games
I left my DS and 3DS alone for a while now, so after the semester, I hope to clear all the unfinished games that I have at home and that I bought.
Driving
One thing I realise in USA is that driving is an essential skill to have to travel around. Plus, having only one module next semester, I hope to complete this study by the end of my final semester in DigiPen. I think it will be cool for me and my bro to learn together.
Modeling/Character/Animation
It is also a time to polish up my portfolio before my graduation. I would like to take the oppotunity to clean up my working files in my backup drive and decide on what I have to show.
Sleep
Although there are a lot of things that I want to do, it is neccessary to take some time off to rest and relax. Life is not always about accomplishing a lot at one go, sometimes it is good to take it slow, and refresh your senses... and stuff like that.
Learn to Cook
Another thing I realised is that I don't know how to cook! I don't know any recipes, and what do I do if I'm alone in a house? Do I always eat out? So I suppose I have to delegate time to learning how to prepare dinner.
Clear my room
By now my room should be really dusty, and I think it is time to throw away the old stuff that I don't need, and set up my workplace for the new year.
