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.

Good modeling!

I wish I could roll out of bed and decide that I wanted to make a head, and then be happy if even a fraction of this comes out. Most I could come up with is a lump on the head rolling out of bed. :oP This would look really cool if you rendered it using sub surface scattering. That would be sooo cool that if I saw it, I would crawl back into bed and just stay there. Well done, sir.

Thanks! It's funny you phrased it that way, Moe, because that's exactly what happened. I rolled out of bead and said, "I feel like making a head today". I'll see if I can come to grips with LW's renderer, some sub-surface-whose-a-ma-whats-it sounds cool.

Thanks...actually, this is loosely based off of the Earth X Captain America (the one with the big "A" scar on his face). Somwhere after the mouth was done, I decided to go in a different direction. Modeling the gang from the Matrix would be cool but tough!

Cool work both in modeling & render. Really like the way the nose and eyes turned out, and the forehead wrinkles. Proportions seem really good. The one area that doesn't seem to work as well, in my humble opinion, are the ears though. Nice one.
