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.

Thanks!

Outstanding. Seeing your work really gets me to want to dig deep and start learning Zbrush. Do you use any kind of refernece when you sculpt or is just pure imagination. I've been feeling a lack of that lately. Great work.

Superb Sculpting work

Thanks! I usually make it up as I go but this weekend I did a bunch of thumbnail silhouettes and picked one to sculpt this morning. I left out the hair though...it just didn't look right. Anyway, It's mostly imagination.

This is very cool. I think you should definitely start doing beginners tutorials, and show how to bring this kind of sculpt into Poser. Or even just a beginner's morphing tutorial. For your job, that is. I think tons of people would love to learn how to get started doing stuff with Zbrush, but Zbrush is by far the hardest and most idiosyncratic piece of software I've ever tried. I found Blender worlds easier and more consistent, and I started using it before the revamp. But Zbrush is probably the most important software out there for most Poser users looking to be more original and independent, because most Poser users work with human(oids) and mostly need morphs and textures. Zbrush is the one piece of software that could make it easy to switch from figure to figure, and to expand the possibilities of any figure.
