Work dumber not harder
A 3D environment featuring a wolf head mounted for display above a fireplace. Surprise! I didn't bother making a separate asset for just the head. The rest of the wolf's body is actually squished up real good like an accordion and hidden inside the fireplace wall.

My wife requested to come back upstairs in ten minutes but I forgot to set a timer so I'm doing math based on the time remaining on the clothes dryer (which I set just before talking to her) and the perceived length of the long-winded story I told before her request.

Sean Duffy: "The No Kings protest, Maria, really frustrating. This is part of antifa, paid protesters. It begs the question who's funding it."
