My first Maya Models

It's Midterms, and I'm actually not that stressed out.  I do have to memorize the 12 principles of animation for tomorrow, verbatim, which I'm not happy about.  I've been reading them over since the first day of classes knowing that this is going to be the midterm and nothing has stuck!   Instead of letting us paraphrase, he is going to take points off if you miss a word or miss a comma or something.  Am I studying performing arts or animation??  I think this is a ridiculous waste of time, and I should be doing REAL animation work, but I have to do this today instead.  And on top of that, these principles are paraphrased everywhere in every animation book, everywhere online, everywhere! They're principles not scientific rules, so verbatim just means he wants us to memorize his version of them.  It's silly.  I'll just forget them after the test anyway. :/

I'm sorry for the rant.  Anyway, because it's midterms, all of my Maya models were due this morning.  They're below.  Everyone had to create the same models based on these awful Bosch paintings.  The only reason they were awful was that the proportions aren't accurate on the paintings (and Maya's all about precision).  So we had to guess half of the stuff on them.  But I learned basic modeling techniques, so I'm excited about that!!
