Warning! Ancient material

Ah, the time when I applied to the degree program here in Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences...  It was early summer back in 2010. All applicants had to do pre-assignments and then the lucky (skilled?) ones got in to take part in entrance examinations.

I guess I can finally reveal my pre-assignments to the whole world (or to the lucky few who might see these) We had to illustrate an old somewhat humoristic Finnish folktale of one rather simple man. Words weren't allowed and were were limited to two pages. Here they are in all their glory:

First page

Second page

Yeah, It may not look like much, because it isn't. But still, it was good enough I suppose. But now... Things get even better. We also had another task: Design futuristic nanotech robot for dental care:

Well, maybe not exactly nanotech, but obviously it's a small robot fixing someone's teeth, isn't it? It is!

Yeah, I still don't know how I got selected into the entrance examinations. Anyway, that's what happened and luckily I don't have the hand drawn pictures I had to do there. They were something else - and not in a good way.

I did get to give them my demoreel dvd which had a couple of 3d images and short animation which I won't tell more about. Maybe those got me selected? Or maybe it was an error?

We shall never know. Or that's what they say.

Thank you and sorry.
