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.

Fantastic render frogdot - impressive modeling and wonderful view - ah but M4 as an older man is really fantastic to see, what a great way to show him off!

Brilliant, Dave I love it.

Superb. My highest compliment is to say that I instantly thought about Mel as a character, not as just another CG image. Just Mel, having a smoke and some joe, reflecting on -- what? That's where the interest in this character comes from. Great scene. You continue to amaze me with your ability to create so many objects so quickly, and your vast range of subject matter and approaches to your images.

this is really good. i like the brooding kind of atmosphere it has, created by the light and composition. his expression is wonderful. makes me wonder what his story is.

Yeah, Mel's a excellent character. Feels real, if you know what I mean. Maybe it's because we've all had the same kinds of reflective pauses in our lives. And you're right: M4 does make great older guys.
