Wow! Since the closure of your web store and all I never thought I would see anything more of your art or anything with Poser. This is a wonderful. The frogs are really cute! By the way thanks for the Bacardi Character. I still use him and he is still the best male character texture I ever had. Welcome back to the fun house here! Wooooot. What a wild week this is. VERY cool to see you(your avatar). ^_^

Wow Wow & WOW. you continue to amaze :-) I can't wait for you to share more of your insights. The blending of elements is so beautiful. This is getting me excited for Poser all over again.

Wicked work, I can't tell what's photo and what's 3d... I mean yeah, the frogs are cartoon-characters, but they are so well blended. If you hadn't written it in your comments I'd be guessing!!! The stuff you get out of poser is as good as 3dS Max and C4D renders.
