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 everyone! I've gone and added some teeth, while reducing the width of the nose. The coolest part of all this is that with Rhino, I can make several variations of this guy (thin, fat, big nose, small nose, whatever) using the same mesh. Tonight I'll put in the eyes and try to figure out how to do ears!

Looks cool, Teyon.. I'm looking forward to the day when I have such ability, and it's always great to have people such as yourself around so the "Rhino-impaired" such as myself can see what's possible. :)
