normal mapped frog/lizard/man

Submitted by J I Styles on

Well this one was originally going to be an entry into the current sumea comp, but I decided to skip this one since I won the last one, and not enter at all this time around -- that meant I could take this guy as far as I wanted and try something new [8)]

So he evolved from an emaciated shadow lurker (original idea was it uses your shadow as a means of stalking you), to a slimy frog/lizard/humanoid mix[}:)]. I'm still giving him details and "clothing" bits (the straps on his legs are the start of this), so he's probably around 80% done -- wanted to share and get some feedback [:)]

So which one is it JI a frogman or a Lizardman? it clearly can't be both as that would be a paradox [:P], sorry i'm just trying to find an error anywhere and tryin to stop you from putting us to shame as Livewire said [:(] and seeing as your models are always 200% i just thought i'd pick on the naming [:(]

isn't it obvious?! he's the love child of a lizard and frog, freakishly obtaining humanistic characterics, and with enough chromosones to be male [:)]
