The Frog was modelled in Maya (duh), and the textures were made in Photoshop.

Nice work, teh frog needs to have a slight redish hint added to it as your image is reddish in colour. A little more work on the DOF as the stil image is quite out of focus, but the frog is not.

Theses are all little changes just to add that final bit of realism to the picture.

The blur does need some work, but I disagree with the statement about the red color. The colors are very nice!

I agree with adding in a slight redish colour in the skin. If your after realism, in the real word, you would have photos bounceing of the red from the background and projecting it onto the skin. Notice your monitor how it has a redish colour on it. To fit the frog into the scene so it looks like its actually there, you would need to do this.
Maybe rather than change the texture of your skin, you could add a slight redish colour to your light.
Just some ideas.
Nice job the frog! and yes i like his colours.


There's nothing normal about normals. In FACT i think the are abnormal.
