(This is a quote from our tour guide in Mostar. to give it some context, he was refering to how nothing in the world is what it is. There is always some reasoning behind everything.)

This past trip was probably one of the best we've ever had. It was relaxing, exciting, beautiful, and thrilling all at the same time. Sarajevo was, admittingly, not the best part of the trip. The real beauty and adventure was in Mostar, which was surprising, given it's size. However we had a wonderful time there!!!

A short tour of our hostel. It was perfect! If you go to Mostar, you MUST stay at Majdas. The people were so amazing and Bata's tour is well worth the trip alone! Not to mention that Majda is the sweetest person I've ever met :)

The Islamic call to prayer at sunset. It was so beautiful!

The waterfall that we got to swim in!!

A small castle town, far from civilization!

The old bank building. It was apparently used by snipers during the war. It's pretty eerie. It was totally abandoned but there were still many things in it, ranging from old files from the bank to bullet shells that had been fired by the snipers. Creepy!

Well, that's all from the amazing vacation that we just got back from. It was an amazing experience, and to be honest it was Majdas Hostel that was the main cause. If you go to Mostar, this is the only place you should stay at.

Working on a Portfolio

There hasn't been too much to update lately. Things have been busy, as usual. Worl is work and life is life. We've been doing things but It's very hard to find the time to wait for videos to upload to the internet. Especially more than one. On the good side, there are many things coming up soon so hopefully that will give me an incentive to record and upload. However, I'm starting to get really into animation again since we've been having kind of a lul. Annnnnyyyways, Here's 2 projects I've been working on. Both were made in a combination of Maya and Mudbox. Both unbelievable programs! The first is the head of a type of alien from the video game StarCraft 2. I had a fun time making it and learned alot from tutorials that I watched on youtube.

The next is a character that I drew in my sketch book. I think the modeling came out pretty well and I'm glad that it came out as well as it did. He's kind of a forest spirit guy that I thought up a while back.

The Forest Spirit. The face is like a wooden mask.

Well, that's all for now. I'm excited to get back into modeling and doing something towards getting into grad school!
