I AM BACK, HEAR ME!

Hello everyone. God, it is great to be back on these forums. Wow, it seems like the last post I put was about me starting my first day of high school. Haha, I'm actually halfway through my sophomore year now, and it feels pretty good I might add. Well, whats new with me? Nothing much, I have matured to an unbelievable extent compared to my last visit, but, have not really kept my (what little I have) maya skills up to date. But, Im back now, and for a reason, Im actually doing a project for my school. It's for my government class, we had to create a third political party (ie. other than republicans or democrats) and have a pitch to go along with it. Our group is doing 'space living' and I thought this the perfect chance to jump right back in. Ha, and a perfect excuse for my mom to purchase me a brand new graphics card, for "school" of course . =) But, the only catch is, I have a little over a week to complete it. And I dont have as much free time as one would expect, being the oh so social butterfly I am.... user added image But, considering that, I have started and will show some of my work and ref images that I have so far. Any comments would be excellent. Thank you, its so good to be back.

had been quite a while. I do like the space station? A week is pretty short i hope you can cram some more time in on it.

I understand your making a 3rd political party but i still dont understand the reason for the model...
