Untitled


I made a serious breakthrough in this last fable-slash-museum project as far as model coolness. This is a big deal, because I feel pretty insecure about modelling. And, surprise-surprise, I even had fun with this model. It's my "baby": I got to start from the basics, and I really got to build a little Mini-Me of my Fable idea. I started with the structure, then went to adding the skin/claddin and so on. I dropped my model on the ground carrying it to the auditorium to post it up, and it didn't break! Exciting, no?

Also regardng this project, we figured out how it's merely a glorified musem. Funny thing is, I actually would like to design a museum at some point during my career. So, I kind of had the oppurtunity to try it, and I'm a little dismayed that I didn't think of it as a museum to begin with. My fable actually turned out to focus more on worship with my specimen and selectivity than showing it off for a bunch of people...Does that make it less museum-like? I don't know...but it's something to think about.

...Not like I need to be thinking. I really need to be sleeping...so I guess I'll get on that immediately.

I totally flipped the script on my fable project too. But to me that was what mad it more appealing to me and helped me design. I think with some more tinkering, the ideas we created could be evolved into a pretty interesting Museum. Nice work with the model!
