AM - Hi Emma

Sounds like you have a great resume to accompany your impressive design background. Having any type of traditional training is a huge bonus in the digital industry. At the end of the day you can always learn new software, but a fundamental understanding of design principles, illustration techniques and model making are highly sort after skills.

The digital work you have already done has a great style to it and I'm very intrigued to see a concept painting!

I can't offer too much help at the moment but it sounds to me like some blendshapes will come in handy later. Also, one big mistake most students make is to build everything in one scene and hit render. Don't forget that you can always comp elements together post render. Not only will this give you more control over the lighting and mood of your scene, but you can also fake aspects of your shots and save on render time. Just a thought :)

Anyway it looks impressive, so keep it coming.
