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 saw Jethro Tull in 1971 (I was soldier in Nurenberg, Germany) as a lead up band to Deep Purple. They did 'Aqualung' and stole the show. Ian Anderson the primary member is an excellent flute player who wrote songs about the apocalyptic degeneracy of indigence. The performance was very theatrical with Anderson doing backbends while supported by his flute thrusting his other arm into the air and tearing other musicians away from their instruments in order to play them himself. It started with him playing an acoustic guitar lighted only by a small spotlight and ended the sames way. This picture brings together the two principle characters of the album, Cross-eyed Mary who prostitutes herself close to a school and Aqualung, an old man in tattered cloths who ogles little girls at playgrounds. It's nice to see them finally together.

Great image with a great likeness of 'Mr Aqualung' And don't worry Pakled, I'm sure the Jack Knife Barber is still 'acquainted' with her. Oh no, I'm gonna have that guitar riff in my head all week now! D

This is very well done. Great work on the hair and pose. Haven't thought of Jethro Tull in years, lol.

The picture in my mind of Cross-eyed Mary didn't do her justice, she looks much better here -^ And Aqualung looks great! Even if he's a bit creepy ^^ And yes I may be 36 but I do know of Jethro Tull -_^
