New Day, new idea...

Was thinking about ideas last night and was considering looking into puppet making today. Will look more into it now.

Captain's Log 001: The journey begins...

Just brainstorming ideas. Paul introduced me to man named Nick who needs character models/toy prototypes made for a children's book. May look into this...

Another idea I had was creating a character maquette for Leto II from God Emperor of Dune, either based on my own drawings or concept art by another artist. Would need to visit toy designer and/or animation studio.

One other possibility might be to browse http://www.conceptart.org/ and maybe contact one of the artists to discuss possibility of making a maquette for one of their characters.

All in all, I definitely want to head down the toy/maquette sculpting route.
