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.

Well I don't think it would be me... I would look at this with some sort of awe at its sheer genius... sort of a built-in demise for the viewer who did though... I love this! It's both thought-provoking & engaging Dave!

This image is great. Nice lighting and wonderful realism. You never mentioned who paid the 185,000 to see the "art" fully realized though. =-)

You've got a shocking sense of humour, Dave. Very illuminating concept art!

Huh! I don't understand the front end...but the back end is shear genius. Very realistic. Nice mats and "wiring". So much for building codes!

Love the story and the image!

You posted this Piece of C@&? I tell you, the instance of realization is when I viewed this and realized that it is better than I could ever do and that by voting for it jeopardizes my chances of getting my work in the HOT 20. But realizing this I went ahead and voted anyway. Now I stumble backward at my contridictory vote casting but simultaneously am humbled at the superiority of your talents. This is one fantastic Piece of C&%

Fascinating picture !

That's amazing. The wall texture is great and the neon tub is pure genious. (Trying to work out how you did that). The only thing I'm not too sure about is the shadow, does neon cast shadow like that? I'll have to investigate. In anycase. Hot 20 for sure. V Oh, and I've seen "art" worse than this sculpture go for more.

This is one of the most amazing works of digital art I've ever, ever seen, period. Brilliant idea and an equally brilliant realization - and the background story is a treat for the brain too :D Thank you very much for sharing this!
