Mantis

I wonder if they can actually turn their heads that far... Not my favorite blender result yet, a bit too cartooney for my taste, but I went through all the loops. A very helpful modeling assignment.

Bananas

Made a tasty basket full of fruit from my new knowledge of textures and wrapping.

I thought downtown Eugene might be cooler to the world if it had more pretty canals, you know, like Venice or Amsterdam. Tried to match the quality and blur of the photo to the animation. Somewhat succeeded.

Finally got it to render at a decent speed! Wanted more subdivisions on the monkeys and less messy reflections, but this should do.

Blue and Rainbow Screwdrivers

Can't get the shadows exactly right, plus the far side is a bit wonky, so those will be good things to keep in mind for the future.

Even though my first blender child came into this world with some birth defects, I still love him, with all my heart.
