New Web Layout / Projects Update

I'm pretty happy with the new layout of my personal page.  It's a simple layout and the color palette isn't as weird as it was on my last design.

What's coming next?  Moving back into Maya and doing some modeling and rigging for pieces on my technical reel.  First up is a cannon from the Attack of Titan manga.  I started it this past weekend and I'm taking some creative rights as far as some of the design and aesthetics.  I'm trying to make the design actually work mechanically while staying true to the original design idea which is causing me to add pieces and change the shape of the base the cannon sits on a bit.

The farm has been on hold while I waited for our apartment's cooling to settle down.  We're between seasons here in Texas and our apartment's cooling system has been shutdown because it's cool enough to just open windows.  While it sounds great in theory, it makes it hard to cool servers while maintaining a decent decibel level where the cooling fans are concerned.  Once it drops another for or five degrees on a daily average, I will spin up the servers again and begin work on the Deadline/outside-access implementation on the App server.
