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.

Awesome work Teyon! Aye, he does seem to be playing air guitar. But he rather looks like a heavy metal type so that's cool :)

The "air guitar" pose doesn't bother me at all... but I do have some objection to wearing a pearl bracelet with all that fur. :oP Just teasing... hard to find any really helpful comments on an image of this calibre.

My only critique is that the perspective in the skull loincloth/loinguard seems to be a bit wonky (unless the skull is mounted at an angle---and not vertically). Other than that...it's a great image!!!
