These are super cool. Wow. Hey man, I walked past your cube today, visiting the Krall man. Nice penguins. Those yours? I gotta formally meet you one day. Keep up the greatness.
Dude!! You are too good!!! The pumpkin seed sludge is great! HAHA... Awesome!
Damn man, you never seize to amaze and or inspire me.
These are great, I think some poses work a better than others (If i'm being honest (but I'm unemployed and a college dropout so what do i know?), but just incredible work.
I was at Nick the other, and met Ray, big guy, I think he worked with you boarding on Danny Phantom, he was really nice.
Also, I re-worked my Foster's character test, did a second pass, I posted it on my blog if, if you have a sec I'd love to know what you think.
this might be my new favourite piece of work from you.. well, until your next post i guess :)
Thanks so much everyone! Your kind comments are always appreciated!
Sam - Yah those were my penguins. I wish you would have stopped in and said hello. Next time your at the studio drop on by.
Josh - Yep, I worked with Ray, and he's a great dude.

Holy crap dude! All I can say is WOW!!! Outstanding!!
Great. Now I'll fear for my life every time I take a carving knife to the big orange.
Looks great though, rad expressions.
Hey Ben,
Wow! I'm so digging the spooky, kooky kreep!
Wow! What a way to celebrate Halloween!!!! I really love this character. The best pose is the one where he's cocking his "bat"-le axe with his left hand extending forth in full foreshortening.
Gorgeous, I'll tell ya!!
Man, these are too cool. Awesome job. I love the seeds looking like sweat and the bat axe. All of those expressions and poses... very cool.
these are sooo good. love the way you design his hair!
Ha!! These are hilarious and beautiful. I love em. His BAT-tle axe is awsome!!
Fun design!
Bwahahahah! This is too funny. I've gotta show this to my six year old daughter! She'll love it.
I want to make this into a jack-o-lantern next year.
Great Job!
