Hi Mike !

I'm very glad that found here a man, who share my preferences in art and
technologies. Opposite to you, I'm much more programmer and
mathematician, but always dreamed to be an artist. 3D graphics somewhere
in between, and this is the reason why it attracts me so much.
So, if you will need some assistance in software development or similar,
I can help you without a problems. I am also working with ceramics
a little, this gives me a rest after intensive coding:

I want to thank you for pointing me to Patrick Woodroffe, I spent half
of the night exploring his artworks, only wonder, how I can miss him ?
He is a great artist. For symmetry, I would like to mention Kirill 
Chyolushkin:

Sorry, site in Russian, but contains mostly images.
I have only one of his books, as they are very expensive :)

You site is good and well-organized, some part of chaos is normal for
creativity, too much order will kill it :). You are very talented, I
like your old-time sketches and present works. I see you are using
Sculptris, I have a Z-Brush and now writing plugin for exporting meshes
to POV, preserving color info.

I like insects also, they have accurate 'construction' and beautiful
forms, created for rendering, please keep me in loop while working on them.

As to Yes-library: I found Fish-13 in some old archive, cleaned it up, 
recolorized and animated:

Hope, you will not be disappointed. Now I am pushing it into macro for
more easy recolorizing and cloning (so please don't waste your time for
that), suppose it will be brilliant in my collection :).
I will post link to final code, after pushing it to repository.

Can't wait for putting hands on your blobs examples - will work with
them tomorrow.

All the best, and sorry for my English,
