Years ago, I decided to create a production company called Primitive Apple. The company didn't go anywhere, but the logo I created for it stayed on my hard drive. The plan was to create a bumper for this company.

When I began learning Blender, I wanted to do this piece of iconic machinery. I got the blueprints right away and got to work. My first time did not go so well and made me realize how complicated Models can get. I tried again and discovered how my skills have grown. 

My son is really a big fan of Thomas the Tank Engine, so I decided to make a toy train for him. I knew toy trains are blocky and made out of basic shapes, so why not. Then I decided that I wanted to cut and mold some of the blocks, so I can get a feel or editing a 3D mesh. 

This was one of those simple projects that got out of hand. I had originally made the cube inside the display case, and I noticed how it looks like some cargo box on a sci-fi movie or video game. Naturally, I thought it needed a better place than standing all alone. The book titles were created between my son and I.

This project started with a toilet. I was asked to make one, but I wanted a bigger challenge. So, I decided to design a whole bathroom. I had a few things in mind, i.e. the layout, the style of the toilet, sink, bathtub, and walls. However, life got busy and I needed to finish. I'm extremely proud of how it turned out, but I was astonished by how my friend made some adjustments to the lights and materials.

Thanks to Aaron Amort for the finishing touches. 

After completing the Pony, I was compelled to do something original. Christmas was a month and a half away, so I wanted to create a fun little Santa as a Christmas Card. I started from scratch and made a quick sketch so I could remember where I was going. I learned how to use Blender's Cloth Simulator, so I could make Santa's shirt. This would be something I would like to come back to for another online Christmas card.

After creating a train for my son, my daughter wanted me to make something for her. At the time, she got into My Little Pony, so it was obvious what I was going to make. The problem was, I never made a "face" before. It was a challenge, and I learned a lot from doing it.

This was my first finished project.
