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.

Tey, you better stop doing this good stuff! Do you know how many new users get discouraged when they see stuff like this?? lol j/k. I say take the above advise and throw an app or two at pixar, lucasarts, id design, etc. I bet you $ they call you :D Great stuff!

Amazing work!!! The feathers came out even better then I thought they would (still wouldn't to try to texture this sucker). Can you post a close up of the hands and head? You found a good balance with the size of "human" body to the snake. So you going to make him Pose-able :) I'd luv to see this thing animated. And I've said since I first saw your work that you should do this for a living. Seriously.

Head and hands are very cool.

This is one killer character. When he is posed and skined, step back buddy. Teyon post more of your scketches and character ideas. Like I said you do inspire us all.
