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.

Okay, 1) fantastic modeling! Love both variations! 2) I really need to learn this feature (Displacement brush). I am a huge fan of Hexagon, but still learning the basics. I just noticed we have a Hexagon forum now! Woo-hoo!! And it looks like you are a moderator? Coool!! Most excellent work!!!

Sweet....how'd you know what I'm currently playing with, anyway? I like seeing these. They are a very clearcut example of displacement at work :*)

Hmmm... judging from the appearance of these creatures the cranium size suggests a large brain, which hints at intelligence, possibly sentience. The location of the eyes on either side of the head with overlapping forward vision indicates excellent peripheral vision as well as focused viewing for task specific attention. The size and shape of the mouth hints at the facility for speech, but the lack of pronounced canines suggests it to be a herbivore. The protrusion of the nose into a snout implies a heightened olfactory ability, but the overall streamlined configuration of the head also shows some adaptability to a water habitat. Until limbs and appendages can be examined we cannot verify if tool use has been evolved. Hehehehe! Excellent work, my friend. :o)
