    Hi Ted,

    Just a quick point about using more than one quote by the same person... If the content all comes from the same block or paragraph of text, you should just separate the sections with 3 dots, rather than having each bit of the quote in its own speech marks. So, for example,
    rather than this -

    “The tables subtly shift and now it is the Aborigine who seems slightly confused and out of place”, “the absurd juxtaposition of these camouflage-clad sportsmen and the almost-naked native is an entire commentary delivered in a sequence that lasts seconds. The lack of comprehension and the look of disenchantment etched on his face as the men drive off is an image that will stay with the viewer for a very long time”(Murphy, 2010)

    ...you could have this -

    “The tables subtly shift and now it is the Aborigine who seems slightly confused and out of place...the absurd juxtaposition of these camouflage-clad sportsmen and the almost-naked native is an entire commentary delivered in a sequence that lasts seconds.The lack of comprehension and the look of disenchantment etched on his face as the men drive off is an image that will stay with the viewer for a very long time” (Murphy, 2010).

    If the bits come from different paragraphs/chapters but still by the same author, you should separate them with a few more of your own words. So for example,

    Joe Bloggs claims that, "blah blah blah", and also goes on to say, "blah blah blah" (Bloggs, 2019)

    Also, make sure that you proof-read, as you have a chunk of that quoted bit by Murphy doubling up...

 In this exercise I experimented with various poses for the already rigged model. I tried out various poses from mostly sports while still trying to remain varied to even a knight duel for further experimentation.   I had pose not just the limbs but also fingers to add details to the character, adjust the neck, tilt their head to detail the posture and act. Make it seem more lifely. I also chose the poses because I felt there was some ambiguity to the expression and action of the character. Is he running and excising or running in fear?
