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.

Here's some info about these two characters: they don't exist! At least in the American version they don't. The only two characters in IX that I can think of that are even remotely close to them are Thorn and Zorn. They are two twin jesters (Thorn wearing red and Zorn wearing blue) that you get to kick the crap out of twice. I'll try to get a pic up of them, but I've already killed them so I may have to start the game all over to do that.

Thanks. That's them, I have concept sketches of these two jesters (so don't restart your game just for me) but I wasn't sure if it was only two or if they did an Alice in Wonderland thing...I should have mentioned that this is a WIP but it's late and it's New Years...So Now I know what to call them when I'm done and I now know the other characters will have someone to trash in any pics we make!

This is just great! You have to message me whenever you're posting stuff like this! I never would have thought about modeling them! They're not too signifigant in the game (As of Disc-3, which I am currently on.), but they are funny as hell! And they look good so far! How's your chocobo coming along? I'm coming along well with Vivi, and hopefully I'll have him 100% finished within a month... After that, I'm thinking of trying my hand at Kuja.....maybe. -DBZ-

The chocobo is going well. I just have to add a second set of toes and the wings. After that, I'm done. However, I can only work on it for an hour at a time 'cause I have sooooo many models going now. Thanks for the comments!
