Minor Project 11: Option 4- Ken Stevenson Character Traits
Positive Traits:
He is a jujitsu master and is therefore very strong and skilled in combat.
He is a trained actor which has taught him to think on his feet as well as take direction from someone of authority
He has a Bachelors Degree in Computer Science and is up on all the latest technology.
Negative Traits:
He still lives a home with his mother and is dependent on her. Because of this, he does very little without her advice or assistance.
His acting debut didn’t go as well as he’d hoped, so now, many of the townsfolk don’t take him seriously and underestimate his potential
He has a one track mind and therefore, bad observation skills, often missing important details right in front of him.
Visual Characteristics:
Robot-like
Jujitsu symbol on chest
Happy demeanor
Backstory:
Ken is a Jujitsu master at a Dojo in Beverly Hills, California. He has helped numerous stars prepare for combat roles in movies such as Kung Fu Panda and Rush Hour 3 and 4. He has also portrayed Mr. Miyagi in a musical version of The Karate Kid set in his mother’s basement. There were only two performances but the review his sister wrote up for the family newsletter called him “a mix between Jackie Chan and Sean Hayes”.

Minor Project 10: Option 3
I would like to be either an artist, modeler or animator. I don’t have the necessary skills to be a modeler or animator yet, but I am very interested in learning them. I am an artist. It took me a long time to become an artist. In school, I was an art student, following instructions and creating what I was told to create. It wasn’t until I graduated college that I truly felt like an artist. Now, I am an artist without a job. My career goal is to love what I do and wake up every morning, excited to go to work. I want to use my art to make that goal happen. Right now, I would love to be a modeler or animator or artist or graphic designer. I’m not really sure. I just want the options.
I have a Bachelors of Fine Arts with a portfolio of work including drawings, paintings, sculpture, screen prints, lithographs, photography and digital design. I would like to expand my portfolio to also include 3D modeling, motion graphics and interactive web design as well. I want to learn as much as possible and show my diversity in my portfolio. I have always had a passion for art and I love games so what better career choice than putting them both together.

One wrong turn and the closest animal will break out of their crate and chase after you.
