Mino's photo shoot

Some glamor shots of Mino doing some dramatic poses. Posing this guy was pretty fun. These shots are to pad my portfolio blog, which is still under construction. Any ideas of what else he could be doing?

shadowy heads

I'm working on getting a good solid head shape for the background crowd models for our Senior Film project, so these are some of the sketches I've been spitting out. I'm moving towards more simplified shapes and structures, so any advice would be helpful. K THX BYE!

Last of all is the "ambient occlusion" pass, where you darken the areas where light is being blocked by things closer to the camera/viewer.
