This course contains a little bit of everything with modeling, UVing, texturing and dynamics in Maya, as well as compositing multilayered EXR's in Photoshop.

I had contemplated adding a "race"-like stipulation like I did with the spaceships, but decided against it. Was going to be categories like:

Magic
Mutant
Alien
Tech
Human

but I figured you guys would probably categorize yourself using these arch-types anyway for the most part.

i think leaving out races in this comp was a good decision. i'm not good at stereotyping...

if texturing is not required then is this just a modeling challenge?

If that's what you'd prefer. If you want to texture, please do. user added image Presentation is really what is judged, if you boil it all down. I've seen really well presented untextured models and really crappy presented fully textured models.
