Well, it's my first year working the holidays as assistant manager at Gamestop and let me say it's crazy. During regular daytime hours the place gets crazy busy and destroyed by customers, then after normal close it's dead as a doornail. Seems completely pointless to stay open an extra hour or four for the two or three people who come in only to browse. Plus those people are likely the ones who will show up after close after the holidays and try to get in. >.> Anyway, I'm exhausted from working so many long days. I'm only going to want to sleep on Christmas.

The only extra I've been doing lately is working on the skin textures for my character Sarovanya. He gets tortured badly by dark elves so I've been working on the textures for the wounds. No depth to them yet, just laying out their shapes and positions on his body. I'll get to the fine details and bump maps later. I've only finished one of the scar textures so far, but the result is encouraging. Here's the quick renders of my progress.
