Somni,

Welcome to CGTalk and to the Anatomy Forum! :) Lovely work here ~ always great to see more traditional work around, I think that's really needed. :)

Did you know that there is a character named Somni in the book by David Mitchell, 'Cloud Atlas'? It's a great book, Sonmi is a futuristic character, I'm wondering if that's where you take inspiration for the name. :)

A few forum links which may be helpful are:

@Rebeccak

Hi Rebecca, thanks for the welcome. :) Nope, "Somnilocus" is the name of my story. Somni being Latin for "dream" and locus for "place."

@Prisca712

Thanks. :D

@se7en-z3r0

Haha, maybe someday. ;) I'll post some looser stuff later~

Somni,

You're welcome, thanks for the explanation ~ you know, it's funny, the definition really makes sense in the context of that book, so now I feel a bit enlightened. :D

I would assume you're planning to apply to art school. :) A big thing I would recommend doing if you've not already done so is contacting the school to see what their requirements are (the best thing is to talk to a counselor in person if possible, or over the phone if not possible). A great way to show your work is through the CGPortfolio (http://portfolio.cgsociety.org/), definitely check it out when you get the chance ~ just tons of amazing and inspiring stuff! :)

Looking forward to seeing more of your work! :)

Cheers,

~Rebeccak
