My Bullfrogs are about off their introductory sale so I thought I'd share what's in store for November. I will be releasing two sets of "Salamanders and Newts". While these creatures appear to be lizard-like they are actually amphibians and all of them excrete poison. In fact, the California Newt is as toxic as a puffer-fish. In any case, here's a sneak peek at the Fire Salamander (included in the base set)...
a few more renders....
Common Mudpuppies... It is a species of salamander in the family, Proteidae. It lives an entirely aquatic lifestyle in parts of the Great Lakes region and surrounding states in lakes, rivers, and ponds, in North America.
Eastern Hellbenders... This species of aquatic giant salamander is endemic to the eastern and central United States. They are present in a number of Eastern US states, from southern New York to northern Georgia, including parts of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Missouri, and extending into Oklahoma and Kansas. The name 'hellbender' probably comes from the animal's odd look. One theory claims the hellbender was named by settlers who thought "it was a creature from hell where it's bent on returning."
Chinese Fire-belly Newts... It is endemic to subtropical forests in East-Central China and prefers to live in shallow, semi-aquatic environments such as abandoned paddies and ponds with dense vegetation. Like many amphibians, the Chinese fire belly newt hibernates.

Extraordinary
These are all amazing!
As my Salamanders and Newts are getting tested (for a November release), I've started working on my December project which will be another Nature's Wonders insect... the Phasmid (aka walking stick). I'm hoping I can tame the UVs enough to make some of the "walking leaf" varieties too. I think the only way to do that is to create 2 objs with different UVs for Poser and alternate UVS in DAZ Studio.
