I am Ryan Chen, AKA Teneuom on online platforms. My work is about the human condition, what it means to be a life in this world. The ups and downs, the struggles and successes, and the rise and fall.I work primarily as a 3D Modeler and Texture artist. Though it is to fuel my passion for story telling. I love the nature of stories, it is truly a spell that one casts upon an unknown audience to feel the way that the creator felt, or wants them to feel. Thus far I have directed one 3 minute short, Encore (2025), and worked as both the director of photography and technical director for Knot by Blood² (2026).Both works were incredible labors of love, working day and night to get them out into the world. Some days I worked 16 hours, just eating, working, and then sleeping to wake up and do it all over again. But I do not regret a single second of it. Animation is a treacherous journey, battling steep climbs, hazardous weather, and the entire time you're aching and ready to lie down to die, but once you get to the top the view is all worth it.The one thing I ask of you dear reader, in whatever struggle you are battling, please stand strong. Even if you think can't. I believe in you.
