My work basically is a reflection of my wacky personality, presented in any form I can find! I am a self taught artist, from sketches right on down to the big 3D. My first love of comics, cartoons and anime have heavily influenced me. The Artists who have influenced me most include the likes of Tex Avery, Mike Mignola, Travis Charest, Bruce Timm, Mario Ucci, and Barry Windsor-Smith to name a few.

My work currently has been used in several reviews for Rhinoceros 3D in 3DWorld Magazine as well as the letters column. I have taught oraganic modeling classes at LEGO Denmark (great place by the way). I am a former Moderator at Renderosity.com (a website for artists).

Looks good. First detail then color then they want an entire rigged character.

"First detail then color then they want an entire rigged character." Then the character can come and clean the house, pay the bills and look after the kids....seriously though, great work there Teyon. He looks absolutely fantastic.

Teyon, I don't know the "history" of this specific project, so it's possible you may have intended this (or, maybe not), but this "bust" looks like one of the "Sensorites" from the William Hartnell "Doctor Who" serial of the same name. True, the motif of a humanoid alien with an enlarged cranium and no nasal passages is not limited to DW, but adding the "male pattern baldness" hairline certainly increases the resemblance, at least to me. Regardless of your goal or inspiration, it is a very well realized sculpture! Sincerely, Bill

This is fantastic, man. I may be the only one who sees this, but he kinda looks like an older (and nose-less, obviously) James Marsters.

Wonderful alien study! Nothing in common with lo-level so called V3 or V4 alien morphs. Impressive pro work!
