Toaster Boy WIP

I have been spending some time thinking about where I want to really push my career to. Loads of places are looking for generalists but the bigger companies like specialists so its a tough one. I dabbled in thinking about being more of a generalist but I don't quite have the work just now to apply to those positions. I have always liked modelling as well as animation and rigging so I thought I would get some practice in to add to my generalist skills and so Toaster Boy was born. I took some sketches of a character I had and quickly modelled it up in Maya. I want to change the Toaster head so it is a four piece toaster so I can have levers on the front to use as eyebrows over the eyes.

I was thinking he could be used for a short animation idea I have where he would be CG put into the real world on the run from the the hardware pimps who are trying to whore him out to the toast loving public. This project would give me all the skills I would need to be a great generalist.
