Class 6: Facial Performance(1):
I seem to be repeating a trend of failing my first attempt, although this time it wasn’t for monetary reasons. This time I didn’t put enough work into my shot and I wasn’t happy with the performance. Among other things, the class is called “Facial Performance”, and I had barely touched the face because of problems I continued to have with the body mechanics. Here’s my finished version of this shot:

Class 5: Character Performance(1):
I failed my first attempt at the class, I was struggling with the Maya Scene & other things in my shot, plus I had to focus on making money, as the shot was taking up too much of my time and I had what was essentially the equivalent of no money. Here’s my furthest progress on the shot:
