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.

10...I like this one...the toe to foot surface...blend? sweep? point pull?
Teyon
Thanks, Smerc! The toe & toenail were made from a single sphere that I point edited, copied and positioned to look properly placed. I then created a foot and edited it so it met the toes neatly. From there on, it was split, blend, join, split, blend, join, etc.

nice work Teyon!
Teyon
Thanks everyone. I guess my personality tends to come out on the models I make. I'll try to toughen them up next time...though a few facial morphs could take care of that I think.
