I guess that's what I'm calling them now, since it's easier when I want to just make one. But, recently I've thought of moving away from the pitch dark eyes of the previous works. I decided to change this because, I felt that I didn't have enough characteristic in any characters. It was there to an extent, but doesn't fully show it. Also, it's hard to tell where they're looking, especially if it's the opposite direction of their heads, oof. So, making real eyes, with pupils and light, is not that hard. The thing is, it's really a bunch of circles, but very meticulously put together circles, which can change a lot about eyes. You can put a lot of detail into eyes, without even changing color or shape that often, how solid they look can change how "living" a person looks. While the area of shade is going to change their outlooks. But, sometimes, I still miss the solid, black eyes, it reminds me of a simpler time, euugh. a small piece of the experimentation process

We had multiple projects, yay. But, this time we had simple compound modifiers to make some stuff out of. There wasn't too much trouble in making each of them, for me or anyone in that course. Which is a nice change of pace from "Crap, I'm behind, I'll move on to the next project and forget this one I'm stuck on." But, our blog posts have specified topics now, in which we have to find a portfolio of a 3DS Max modeler. Which, is actually pretty scary, but just look on the Autodesk Gallery, and look for pieces you really like. The portfolio I chose is Emerson3ds (www.artstation.com/emerson3ds). Each piece is diverse, which is probably what I should be doing in my portfolio, and has it's own skill sets for each. Since all of this work is mainly character models, I don't really have any sort of modeled work that compares, the closest is the angry face, which is very, very basic. But, it's something to aspire to be, I really have to ACTUALLY know how to use modifiers, and hope we get to models soon. The following tab on her profile also has a bunch of artists that do cool work, too. Speaking of portfolios, we still have to write about a different topic. Well, we can see how this portfolio is formatted well. It's simple, easily navigable, and focuses on the work, pretty well done as standardized. But, what else did we learn this week?

Yes, they can make or break your presentation or your chances of a job. As I saw in my graded job application, I had all of the elements for the job, except for the portfolio. But, it's mainly due to a lack of a relevant portfolio, most of my art is character design, 3D, or video editing, not UI like I decided to apply to. Also, my portfolio has not been updated for the ENTIRE SUMMER, oops. I kinda forgot I had a portfolio, and I feel a little behind. So, as a sort of new (school) year resolution, I'll be making more digital stuff, or make it at the level of last year's. Oh yeah, I'm back from summer. Well, it's research time, I don't really miss doing these. But, at least it's keeps me busy. Well, we can research the topic given, the first paragraph is first-hand experience, but this is legitimate research. A portfolio, which is work you have collected over your "career," can help with what you've proven you can do. Every company whats a capable employee, a portfolio is the easiest way to communicate your work, which plays into a first impression, which is very important. Portfolios also show what kind of person you are. If you have one piece, you look either inexperienced, or incompetent, neither of which a company wants. Your pieces must also be professionally made, which is hard to do if it's your first job. But, you could also make it more presentable, no odd formatting, inconsistent text, or an ugly color scheme. This shows that you, I don't know, care about how you present yourself. Of course, you need work, which I cannot talk about because I am not an expert, you can check my portfolio to judge that statement. So, what did we learn?
