"What's a fake frogs?"
Hi, I'm Paul II and I'm the fake frogs.
I have used the moniker of "fake frogs" online for a number of years now. What started out as a silly gamertag back when I started playing the video game Halo 2 has since become my online nickname of sorts.
Now a days, I am more than just a gamer. I have since taken the natural talents and skills I've had growing up to new and exciting levels. Drawing and creating stories has always been a deep passion. In 2005 I hand drew a number of comics featuring personal characters created years before. Several years later, I began designing a large sci fi universe full of stories I wanted to tell.
In 2013 I took my love of drawing and story telling to the next level. The digital level.
After purchasing my first laptop and a digital art tablet, I soon started up my first web comic series, "Clyde n Owen". Then in 2016, I kicked off a new story driven comic series, "Worlds Apart".
Gaming and comics aren't all I've done. I've dabbled in 3D modeling. Film making, mostly in the form of machinima (movies from video games). And now even some web development and programing design! Yet, drawing and story telling still remain my passion.
This site is a place to show off some of my work. Check out the main comic series of "Clyde n Owen" and "Worlds apart". Some of the traditional and digital artwork I've created over the years. Or watch some of my uploaded videos on YouTube such as the machinima series "Kirkland" or random gameplay funny moments.
Gained the Lead Productions was first created to make Halo machinima. (The art form of making films with video games.) The Halo 3 machinima drama "Kirkland" was the first official release from GtL Productions and received 3 finished chapters.
In more recent years, GtL Productions has released a series of gameplay highlight videos. This series showcases the fun moments from game-day sessions by the members of the self called "Green Team."
Kirkland is the story of Arthur B. James, the last known survivor on earth after a planet wide incident over five years ago. Kept company only by his subconscious's portrayal of a living city around him, Arthur runs and maintains the city of Kirkland, California.
