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.

Looks like he's going to be a lot of fun to work with. I love tigers, and I can already think of scenes that this fella would be just perfect in.

Awesome new character, chief! That's one of the things that has severely limited the options and creative avenues available to Poser artists... still not enough variety to characters available. My only critical input to this character is that as a cat-person I've noticed that a lot of the feline expression is enhanced by the movement of the ears. I'm wondering if that could be added in to this critter? :o)
Teyon
Thanks gang! Moe, It would have to be as a morph target...I coudln't get the bones for the ears to work correctly.

Pretty awsome character you have going there. But does he snarl or frown. (I don't think I've seen those expressions here.)
Teyon
He frowns but (it's there) and smiles too...it's a shot best viewed from the side or at an angle..and works better with the eye and eyebrow movement if you want a front shot. I tried not to use combos except for the final head (the same on the full body shot).
