Check out a few samples of his work:

For the last few years he started his own concept design company -
PixelToonsInk, where he designs characters and products primarily for the Toy Companies, but he has designed for all types, shapes and offshoots of the Entertainment Industry: from
Warner Bros Consumer Products,
Sony down to
J.M.P. Creative. Here is a Toy Tank he design for
Dairy Queen:

Education![Hybrid_FacialSetup_PuppeteerLounge_Banner](hybrid_facialsetup_puppeteerlounge_banner.jpg)
It has been a while since my last post, but I’ve been extremely busy with freelance AND... learning how to rig a face correctly...
My knowledge of rigging has always been at an intermediate level. I learned how to rig about ten years ago, and never went outside those limitations...
SoI decided to learn how to rig a face the “correct” way, and by that I mean, how to “setup a production ready hybrid facial rig based on joints and corrective facial shapes for better deformation for games and films...” That’s the description of the class I’m taking at
Puppeteer Lounge (
www.puppeteerlounge.com)...
