Here is what I am thinking of using for my beauty shot camera angle. Problem with the beuty shot is that it isn't going to show off his details well from this angle.

Brendan Prettie is a college student at the Center for Arts and Technology in Kelowna. Enrolled in the 3D animation and modeling course, he is starting on his second year, and plans on focusing on modeling, although he enjoys animation as well. Eventually he'd like to move into a game design position, but he wants to get into the industry as an artist first and find out how things are done from the inside.
