Bah! I'm playing around with Paint.NETs Magic Wand and Lasso tools, but it still leaves pixels all around my object. Also, Paint.NET > MSPaint.

interesting stuff where? I'm finishing up a piece that's pulled me from my bender animation. I'll share it in a few days. In the mean time some of the work I've done at my new job has gone public. if anybody's curious, I did the 360 for the ford edge website: http://www.fordvehicles.com/crossovers/edge/allnew/ if you skip the intro you'll find a link to it in the lower left corner, just click "view colors." I designed the lighting and materials, the geometry was provided by the client.

I realized recently that they updated my company's website with some of the earlier things I worked on My first wagon (modeled) My first truck (lighting, texturing, rendering) My first ugly edge (lighting, texturing, rendering) [They wanted it that way]

Show: Wow. That is most supremely badass. I am now even more in awe of your talent than I already was, and I didn't think that was possible.
I saw the wobbliness but assumed it was deliberate, like you were modeling a giant drop of water without the bowl; I assumed the effect was intended to be that the fish out-of-water simply swam too far, possibly chased by the shark...
If I had to say something constructive, I can only think of two things (and they might both just be the moderate amount of alcohol coursing through my veins). First, the dry fish doesn't feel right; if he's dead, his fins should be more limp, while if he's not, he should look more, I dunno, desperate? The face is right, it's just the fins that aren't quite fitting for me. Second, the globe looks blue-green, probably because of the vibrant green of the plant and it's reflections. This green isn't present in the shadow, which it probably shouldn't in reality but I feel like it would look better with a hint of that green to it anyway... I'm less confident of the value of that comment, though..
Pikka makes a good point too; I think the strange feel comes from the fact that it is a projection through a rippled sphere as well as the rippled bottom, which creates the smokey complexity that just feels wierd. Not sure what you could or even if you should do anything about it tho...
I think I told you this before, either re: the bender or the fry, I forget which, but the fact that you produce something that amazing and are disapointed speaks volumes for your eye, dedication, and potential.

Cute animals are easier to draw if they are squished and compressed into basic shapes.

Woo! I'm contributing! I used to do origami, but for some reason I stopped. It's been two or three years since I did any, but today I decided to start again! I opened the book, found a model, modified it to fit my needs, then folded away. I then grabbed a couple of Monopoly pieces, a book and a sheet of printer paper, and put it all together. Behold! I just sent it to Ryan North!

it's a pretty nice layout. you manage to get the complimetary red and green together without makin it exude that christmasy feel. Any who, I finished another long running portfolio piece tonight. It's gone through a few different looks but I'm pretty happy with where it's at now. I enjoy reviewing the progression of where it was to where it is now, it just goes to show that you never stop learning. * Skooners v. 1* Skooners v. 2* Skooners v. 3Skooners v. 3.5: High-res versionClearly influenced by futurama, however I took a handful of steps to try to create a unique toon look that has a really good sense of depth as well as slightly more physically accurate lighting. Now I'm gonna get back to animating bender for real this time. btw, I intend on eventually creating an animation within in the skooners universe.

@ Venus:
Consider giving Marcus an e-mail. He's helped several other budding artists with getting a handle on the basics and improving. He may be able to give you some tips.
