EDIT: Added some more transparency to his throat. I can't decide which is better. What do you think?

I want to learn your color theory! Magnificent!
I love this, the whole thing works so well. The color is awesome, lighting, everything. :)
Love the colors!!! and the fun swirly pattern.
awesome lighting and colors!!! O___O
I like the more transparent one and how I can see the frogs body through his throat. Very cool. The extra detail in the eye's is awesome!
Definitely the more transparent version, and has some extra details :D
I like the second better :)
In the second there a to much transparency and not anough in the first fore me! haha
Great job!
I prefer the first. In the second, my eyes focus so much on the highlight that I miss the awesome reflective light coming from the floor.
guess it's all relative.
i like it.
I'd use the transparency, but leaving the red lines visible (full opacity).
I like it!!! :D
I like the second better. The transparency helps connect it to the frog. Otherwise it kind of looks like an unripe tomato in it's mouth (sort of). ;)
my gosh, sam, this is SO CUTE! i think i prefer the transparent version, though they are both so adorable <3
when the first one was posted, my eyes were begging for some opacity! haha.
excellent stuff.
In the second one I like the details (like the sprinkles in the eyes), but the two white highlights are too much in my opinion. I'd prefer the highlights to be somehow between both versions, probably more like the first one.
great painting anyway.
The first. I agree that the idea of the transparency is bang on, but the reflection is distracting mee too much.the rendering on both though is SUPERB. You are the king!!
Second one looks too glass-like. I suppose he could be wet. But he doesn't look wet, so the first one seems the most biological.
I like the non-transpatent!
I like the the transparent one, more appealing to the eye for me. Amazing character!
Just amazing, this little critter really is alive, isn't he?
haha, nice!
Wow Sam . . . . HUGE RESPECT!
I say first. Great blog@
I prefer the second, more transparent one to the first. The highlight on the throat is a little bright, but adds to the inflated tension created from the interior air pressure. The overall feel is more thrilling due to the appearance of the membrane being so thin, almost as though it could burst any moment. Great stuff!
I am totally going for the 2nd one. Primarily because I can sense it's texture more. I know what it would feel like if I touched it. Which makes it very 'real' to me.
first one with subdued specs is better. cheers!
this is much more interesting than the without transparency........ it looks a realistic type when it has transparency.. wow great work..
I guess the one below with high specularity is better,at first instance it just computes in my head that its transparent, I had to follow closely to the above image when you mentioned about transparency.
Hi,
I think 2nd picture is best.. Really very nice idea.. Thanks for suggesting this creative idea...
I have been searching to something similar and I found this excellent blog
