Thanks alot for the kind words everyone.
The scholarship is a general arts one, but as for colleges I think I want to attend University of Michigan or the University of Southern California. I really want to do film FX work and USC is a very good place for that.
I submitted these pictures as part of a scholarship application. Everything here was done in the past six months or so with the exception of the diorama at the end.
Yea, I was with you and Bill at MMSI. It's too bad you can't go this year, but maybe I'll run into you at SCAHMS if I go. I really hope you're able to get the samurai done, it's a really cool idea and a well excecuted one.
Good luck!
Here's a piece I've been working on for the past week. She still needs ears, and I'm fixing up the hair but a majority of it is shaped out. I used Chavant NSP Medium clay.
I wanted to be able to do an SBS for this one but unfortunately I have to finish two more of these heads by the end of...
Ok guys, I think I'm going to try to basically make this head over. I like this one but I want to start another that's a little cleaner and built to cast from the start, so I have a strong portfolio piece to cart around. With this in mind, I think I'll try fully documenting it and putting up a...

Thanks alot Gary and John. Sadly, after doing this I don't have the eyes for miniatures, and I just like to work large now :o
My more recent pieces have actually been pretty close to the models. Several friends were able to guess who this was unprompted, and the girl herself thought it...
Here's a new head I'm coming to a close on. It is made of Chavant NSP Medium clay, and it's modeled off of a friend. Though I was able to rough it out in a week or so, I was really busy over the summer and made some tweaks here and there when I had the time for two months. Any comments much...
Try looking at Anakin's scar from Star Wars: Episode III, that sounds similar to what your describing and quite possibly the coolest scar in a motion picture.
HO for railroads is 1:87 scale. HO:OO is a common British armor scale that equates to 20mm or 1/76. True 1/72 scale figures are around 23mm or so, but most manufacturers of the soft plastic figures go more to about 25.
