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.

Awesome job, I'm surprised I'm the first to comment. The brows, eyes, ears and nose are fantastic. But honestly, I'm not too fond of the mouth. Maybe its because you've not added the teeth yet. Not sure. Good luck wrapping up the project. It looks great thus far!!

He/she/it looks fantastic! I particularly like the eyes and nose.

Terrific work! In my humble opinion smaller ears, that will allow you to work with various armorsets and helms later on. I can see how the larger ears would help in the dark and to compensate for the distance between the eyes (eyes-front, better depth perception, eyes-side, improved periperhal vision). I also think a thicker lower lip will improve the mouth... and nasty pointy teeth will complete the look. Don't forget the rotting gums look when you texture. I'd also suggest a less healthy color when you go into texturing, either a ruddy burnt texture or a pale translucency. :o) Excellent work, my friend.
