Just finished My Bsc, know what you mean about paperwork. You got anything lined up now?
I'm going back to uni to do my Phd, so even more paperwork.
Looking forward to seeing some more progress.
Cheers

@ THX1138 - Thank you. I`m really happy with the chair at the mo. The main texture was just a scan of a carpit patten found on google and the tounge texture was from a ref photo from www.3d.sk which I have been a member of now for 4 years. The rest are just simple colors done in photoshop. Cant diside if imgoing to bother apply a wood texture to the legs and stuff yet as the browny/yellow has gone on me.

as you can see will not need to .....Are you going to adjust the grip on the controller?

well this is the final pose I wanted for this image, but loaded the wrong file (no new textures on this one.) need to tweak the lighting abit, but only to bring the details out on the chair.

Maybe a little more might be needed as he looks like his roots are showing.
As an idea, how about a very slightly cracked open kitchen door somewhere in the background to give another light source and add to the tension?
