Created this poisondart frog and pen with Blender for a weekly competition in a Blender Discord community.
Theme: Cute but Deadly
Main thought was some kind of cute and deadly animal, but I wanted to avoid fuur, so I started to look at reptiles, and then the thought crossed my mind about poisondartfrogs that I saw on TV just a few days earlier.
I wanted to show the size of the frog, so I trew the first idea of having it on a leaf. Since everyone knows how big a pen is, this felt like a great sollution.
Many people missed the detail, but there is also a fingerprint showing how big a finger might have been,
Textures on pen are not made by me, those are from different sites which allow people to use them freely but not resell. Using those as "Hobbyist"
Texture on frog is made by me using random pattern in PS, got the different maps from ndo quixel suite
Frog Sketchfab - Play it to see the topology. "Model Inspector" Bot Right corner > Wireframe (Subsurf is on)
