Rather than just show Dr. Fordyce the boring "flat" version of the model (flat being the rigid unposed version of a creature, making it often look like its been road killed or turned to stone... the 3D version of Glendon's "ugly phase") I decided to create some prototype poses and scenes for him to look at.`
This being a general idea for a piece I have, complete with two brand new primitive penguins. The penguins were today's modelling project, and though not my best effort (up close) are functional in this long shot. I plan on building better versions if Dr. Fordyce likes this direction for the project.
What are your thoughts on it? It is not a final by any stretch just the general idea.
Finally just for my own amusement, and to test my audiences palaeo-knowledge, let's play a quick palaeo-game.
Who can guess what type of whale (or Dolphin) I have recreated here? Super bonus if you can guess one of the possible genus of Penguin he is trying to snack on? The only hint I will give you, is for a sense of scale the Penguins are about a meter in length (in other words about the same length as my whale's head). Good luck!

I will give you my assessment (though you probably know what I'm going to say.), rather than take a stab at your little challenge. I'll go ahead and say this again: Your CG is impressive and you have grown as a graphic artist. :) Maybe if you grow tired of teaching, you can strive for a position in graphic designing for the television industry or something.
