Props for Bukowski
Here are some props I have modeled for my character. I made alcohol, beer and wine bottles since Bukowski is known for his drinking. I accompanied these with different glasses, cups, and a mug. I also began modeling a phonograph due to his love for classical music. I also made him a pack of lucky strike cigarettes. I mostly used Maya since the objects are hard surfaced. I got into putting materials on the models to enhance the concept. I spent most of my time on the phonograph, which was a fun and challenging project. Next I would like to make a writing desk and chair, as well as other small supporting props. I basically want to create an environment for my character, which is a classic music loving, heavy drinking, author and poet.

Post-Critique Revisions
After the critique of my project, I did some tweaking of the overall shape and form of the face. I spent time attempting to give a more realistic rendering of Bukowski. I also fixed the shaping of the eyelids as directed. I had trouble adding subdivision to detail the hair, because the school computers could not comply with the amount of divisions.
I worked the pants over once more. The result became much more lifelike and less like clay. I used alphas and brushes to create texture on the clothing. I did the shoes over again from the beginning. My previous sculpt of sandals was really bad so I started from scratch.
