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.

Love everything about this one, Dave. This is one of my favorites of yours. The mottle finish was a perfect choice...and of course "Blackbird" does fit better than "Swan Lake". I mark this one a Masterpiece! Thanks for sharing! (I'm curious about the 68 lights, also)

Thanks you Everyone. I appreciate the nice comments. As far as the lights. I made a light array in the shape of a quarter sphere. It ended up with 66 lights. All small radials, set to "1" and a very light gray in color. This one had shadows turned on, hence the softness. It sits above and slightly to the right of center and stretches about as wide as the image. 2 other radials are in front of each character set to "ranged" at 22 in distance, 5 in intensity
