Dim Sum
Can't...stop...thinking...about...food...
This time around it's the legend of dim sum (ha gao, siu mai and cheung fun are my absolute favourites)!!
On another note, my friend Kim presented me with the gift of Flickr for my birthday which I am super happy about as I was thinking of going 'pro' anyway. Thanks again, Kim!

Baking my own birthday cake
So it was my 22nd birthday yesterday and I had a great day: Harry Potter, pizza, cake and waaaay too many chicken wings.
My cake this year was made by my little sister, Anita, and because she had a broken oven at home the cake had to be baked at my place (it was fun opening a box to discover raw cake mix in tins)! Then, I realised I'd pretty much run out of cake toppings so we had to make do with a tiny amount of icing powder, the last few chocolate sprinkles and cherries. It might not look impressive but it sure tasted goooood - doesn't all cake?

Mountains
An environment for a change!
Pink trees...I don't know why but I liked it :)
You can also buy this illustration as a print over at my online shop.

My Desk
This is roughly what my desk looks like, 3D'd up : )
Looks a bit unnaturally empty doesn't it? Well that's because, honestly, there is just too much crap on my desk to model and most of it is useless junk.
So I just modelled the 'key' things that are always sitting on my desk....twas fun!

Hotdogs
More 3D experimenting, this time with a colourful hotdog van!

On a side note, I've had a lot of people contacting me and asking "What program do I use to make my 3D look the way yours does?" or something similar. As happy as I am to answer this question, I feel like I should put my answer to this here to save further repetition and to inform those of you who are wondering:
I work in Maya but my processes are technically quite basic and I'm confident that the type of finish can be achieved in any other 3D program. I'm not using any program specific filters or effects - my models are generally low-poly and are fullbright. This means that all of the colour/design work is in the texture and the light/dark 'shading' you see is actually painted and therefore fake. Basically, I believe that it's more about the creativity than the technicalities; you should be dictating your work, not your tools :)

Shop's up...again!
Okay, I've been back and forth but now I'm back again, with my shop hosted on my own website instead of Etsy. Sooo if you fancy a print, how about heading over to the shop and providing me with a few free ice lollies so I don't sweat to my death in this heat :P
