Work in Progress- 2012 Art Show

I have had a lot of interest from colleagues, students and friends to post my current work for my next CG art piece. I am using found objects from my grandfathers basement for a big still life. There will be over 50 CG models. Completion time will be 7 weeks. I am 2 1/2 weeks / 78:41:55 hours in while also doing roughly 55 hours a week teaching campus and online students. My brain is hurting...but, I am excited to be creating!

 Sooo, David Hackett, here are some of my 'work in progress' test renders.
