I don't think I ever posted these but I really enjoyed working on them. Wyn is meant to be an incredibly androgynous character, to the point of confusion on other charracter's parts. I was glad to find that none of my friends could agree on what gender each pose seemed more like.

Finished this one up a week or two ago. I haven't worked tradtionally in a while, so I had a lot of fun with it. Wyn is introducing Eli to his new city friends. Eli isn't sure if Wyn knows or cares that the birds couldn't care less.

Here's my final thesis! I'm proud to have made it through. I learned a lot from the process..such as even if you think you can fix something, sometimes it's best to start over. Things really snowballed, needless to say. I can't wait to have a chance to apply all this to a new project. I was responsible for story, design, modelling, rigging, animation, lighting and editing.
