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.

Excellent! But I have a strange feeling that I can't explain. I feel I might have enjoyed the picture more if you hadn't told me how you did it! How weird am I?

Well done man...multi pass is the way it's done professionally to the point that Vue now outputs in .psd layered format with everything you select on seperate layers....would make tweaking a breeze I figure...wish I could afford that app and maybe I'd do some animating.. ...

Oooooooooh, this is terrific! Nothing like snow to really set off an image. I enjoyed the production notes as well. I, too, am a big fan of the erase brush. It must have taken forever to erase enough to get the snow to only appear on flat, horizontal surfaces. Great work! Congrats!!
