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.

Pretty wild Teyon! I like the skin detail. Interesting creature, loks like something form a swamp or muddy environment.
Teyon
Thanks gang! Yeah, I could see him in a swamp setting. :) I'm not liking the dark area around the leg closest to the camera...I'll have to fix that.
Baalzebub
i would thin the line on the front paw so that the tail-like claw can be more pronounced...it is a wild design.
Teyon
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Thanks!
treemont

I think I had a dog like this once. I had a very strange childhood. But, this is amazing work. I see bits of dinosaur and displacerbeast...and a whole lot of H.P. Lovecraft in there. Well done, sir!

DAMN!!! I wish i could do that with my pencils, but i'm too damn sloppy. Great job man. wish I could get some of my new stuff (about 80 images) uploaded...yes I meant 80. But i'm currently not at my normal computer and It doesnt work anyway. C-ya guys. Teyon, great work, yet again.
Teyon
Thank you everyone! 80 images? Gee, and I thought I was busy. :)
Solomen
Very kewl, makes me want to scan in some of my critters :)
LCGuy
Yep, that's the way to do it, but, still your initial pencils have to be solid, as as the case here, obviously. Great creature, too!
