Yesterday night I came back form Stockholm. Today I’ve been busy with cleaning my room and doing some stuff for the 3d course (but way too less).

But anyways, Stockholm is a nice and beautiful city. It’s a shame the weather was crap, there was a thick fog the whole day, so the sightseeing tour (with guide) was kind of useless. I surely want to go back someday when I have more time and the sun is shining. Afterwards in went to the centrum to walk around and buy some stuff. I also picked up my ticket for the Prodigy, who is giving a promotional concert for the new CD in the end of this month. I’m going with a couple of Swedes, so I think it would be fun. In the evening we went to a bar, luckily the fog went away, so we saw the old city at night, which was very nice. In the end I had to run for my train back to Eskilstuna, because I forgot the time, but I made it eventually (the doors closes behind me when I got there).

Also some kind of trend in Stockholm to walk around with a silly hat.

Silly hats!

Silly hats!

This week I finished my main character for the animation. At the moment I’m busy rigging (giving bones, to animate properly) the model. But here some renders.

This is not the finished model btw

Personally I think the penguin looks a bit like Tux (Linux mascot), unintentionally of course. Others said it looked like the evil pinguin of Wallace & Grommit (click & Gromit penguin" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUEoLn2NWcM" target="_blank">here to know what I mean). But I’m quite satisfied, especially this is my first from scratch made model.

I have to finish the animation before the end of the week, so it will be a week with a lot of caffeine and sleepless nights.
