Yes, it's true. On the internet, I'm a rather dull, mild-mannered digital artist, but in real life, I am actually Superfrog.
"Faster than a speeding dragonfly, stronger than a flathead catfish. Able to leap ten hungry alligators in a single bound. Look! Out in the swamp! It's a bird. It's a boat. It's Superfrog!"

For me, ideas are like butterflies that are flittering around by the dozens. Just grab one and render it, then move on to the next.
BIO:
I began 3D art with Bryce 3 in April 1999. Before that I played with various 2D styles and techniques. Back in the mid-70's and 80's, I worked in metal sculpture and had a line of "frog prints" selling in stores all over Southern California and Arizona. I have been in art in some capacity since childhood. Since the computer came along, I 've pr3etty much lost touch with brushes, pens and pencils which I regret.

I got it :) I think it works better as a stand-alone image than trying to continue from the previous.

a very good trompe-l'oeil on that wall!

The only confusion I can think of is that the scene might be taken to be one of those magical windows that you're so well known for - but it works either way. The test is to show it to someone who hasn't seen the text and see what they make of it.

If more of the wall texture showed through the painting it would be clearer; but great concept and beautifully depicted.

Another wonderful window view of life. Great idea; I may be able to take my kids to Hawaii after all.

I think the palette was an excellent idea to tie this together. It let me scan the image to figure out what was going on before ever reading the text. Nice job!
