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. BIO Name : Teyon Alexander Age : 30ish (gasp!)

Worked as a volunteer at Merge Comics assisting with story layout, inking, coloring, and some minor penciling. Also did some consulting when Merge attempted to branch out into animation, as well as assisting in storyboarding. My work currently has been used in several reviews for Rhinoceros 3D in 3DWorld Magazine as well as the letters column. I have taught oraganic modeling classes at LEGO Denmark (great place by the way). I am a former Moderator at Renderosity.com (a website for artists). I've also done the odd fly-er/poster for individuals. I currently work for Smith Micro Software as a content artist for Poser and Anime Studio.

Outstanding work, bro! Gonna rig him for animation in another proggy? If not, feel like letting someone else?
zarth
Fascinating character. He is just begging for animation and spoken lines. Good luck with the animation.
Dutch_Wally
Great pose, wonderfull job done!!!!
bound4doom
Nice, I think he needs ears of some sort though I love the shot of his head that is heavily shadowed, that is excelent but the well lit one just looked naked then it dawned on me "ears" or if those are his ears the small things to the back then he needs something there. Maybe some wrinkle like his forehead has or a tatoo or something. But overal excellect. Did you blen the arms to the body? if so Man how the heck did you keep that definition on the deltoids.

Excellent Teyon. You finished it pretty fast.

buf stuff, great looking model teyon. little smooth in some ares, but its kinda in the same style all around, keep it up.
Teyon
Thanks gang! Bound4Doom, yeah, those were supposed to be ears but they look terrible. I guess it worked better as a sketch. I plan to fix them in the future. You'll find the answer to your blending question in the Forum. Val, Zarth, I want to try to rig him in LW but Val, we could work something out I think. :)
sabaman
great character, really like the style, except for the head that is but thats just a matter of taste, great modeling as allways man,...
mickymouse
As always, your work rocks! He is fantastic... the detail in the fingers is great and I love the little added extra "baggyness" you added at the bottom of his pants. Just great!
Tencendur
This is probably the best character I've seen come out of Rhino. The arms and shoulders have fantastic detail. I'm not familiar with "Darkstones," and the ears have previously been mentioned, but this character could easily be in any number of RPG or fighting games and make quite a splash. Your work has always impressed me.
Sacred Rose
Looking totally AWESOME, Teyon!!!! Can't wait to see more of this dude!! any chance of a step by step tute?? pleading rose in a pot here ;) ~b
Teyon
Thanks gang. Tencendur, the DarkStones game I was refering to is a game that I made up on my own. It doesn't exist as a game per se, but was an idea I had when I was younger. Sacred Rose, while not a tut, there is a bit of a glimpse behind the model in the Forum.
Curious
wicked stuff man!! this is the kinda stuff i wanna make, but i come out with crappy little people lol =P
psychodan
damn.. impressive as ever.. ME NEXT!! DO ME NEXT!! Er.. Sorry.. Hehe?
Moebius87
Whoa! Awesome character! I'd love to see how you rig this character up in LightWave.
Teyon
Thanks...sadly, I have not been able to tkae the time to learn to rig anything. TO top that off, I have moved the style of the game/characters from fighting to RPG and have redesigned this character to better suit the new theme. THanks eveyrone anyway!
