Food pictures.

Sushi. I filled it with Japanese style fried eggs (which are sweet) and cheese. I don't have a sushi rolling mat (I have one in Malaysia which I never used before DX) so instead I used a piece of cloth, my hands and willpower. Which resulted in unevenly packed sushi, of course. Didn't bother cutting them up since the wrapping was a little loose, and the seaweed was a bit soggy and tough, since I left them in an open plastic bag for a long time. But it makes good comfort food, especially when it's about time to go grocery shopping.
Tofu-green bean-miso loaf, and my failed senbei (it was super tough, I suppose you should deep fry them after all). Incidentally, I found out what those mysterious balls in my mushroom soup came from, it was coagulated corn starch. I found out because I diluted corn starch in water to make the glaze for the loaf, and it produced that waxy looking lumpy paste. Tastes ok though, now I know what it is.

These past few days, I've been always wanting to eat some kind of Oriental style simple noodles, so I made up this strategy to come up with a noodle soup, which is fast to prepare, so I don't have to make it in advance and end up eating cold food because I'm too lazy to heat it up. Plus it is healthy, since you can do without oil, and put in very little salt and sugar and it still tastes good. Usually the more ingredients you put in, the better it tastes. And it's fully customizable to whatever ingredients you have at hand or what you like eating, so it's good for cleaning out the fridge when you have all those odds and ends from other recipes. I kind of made it up as a fusion between jong gol/ kimchi noodles/zaru soba. What you need is:

-the salty component: soy sauce/dashi/ stock

-the sweet component: sugar/mirin

-the spicy component: chili powder/ chili oil/ sliced chili

-vegetables: anything green will do, I prefer Chinese cabbage

-protein: meat/tofu/eggs/mushrooms (which although is not exactly what you'd consider a protein, still tastes meaty)

-noodles: any oriental type will do, but I prefer soba

-water

-additionally, I add in rice wine, and sometimes toppings like green onions, bonito flakes, or sesame seeds. And serve it with tea! All that hot soup makes you feel comfortable after coming home tired on a cold day

Here are some pictures of uni works in progress. I don't have any finished projects at this point, since for all subjects, we only have 1 project that we work on for the whole term.

Ecorche. It's building a half muscle-half skeleton model out of plasticine. We'll be starting on the muscles tomorrow, I think. The class is 6 hours long( X 15 weeks), and the lecturer demonstrates step by step how to sculpt this thing. It's like the frog man we made in TOA(in what...3 classes X 3 hours and no homework?), but this is the steroids version of that class. Every tiny bump on the bone is explained, the placement, what is the function, etc...
Organic modeling. Not much new technical things to learn, but the lecturer does give a lot of helpful anatomical tips on making good and correct looking models. Still have to bring this into Z Brush. We can choose what we want to model, mine is a copy of Richard Macdonald's Midnight (portrait sculpture of French mime artist Marcel Marceau)
Advanced texturing and lighting. The models and animation are provided. Still have to add in hair for the little boy and textures for those round monsters. In the animation, the little boy is in an abandoned house and tries to feed a Snickers bar to those monsters (I textured them as MnMs) which start fighting over the bar. Don't feed chocolate bars to chocolates, bad hyperactive things happen.
