Description An old fairytale told me
The simple heart will be prized again
A toad will be our king
And ugly ogres are heroes

Then you'll shake
Your fist at the sky
"Oh why did I rely
On fashions and small fry?"

All promises broken
Feed your people or lose your throne
And forfeit your whole kingdom
I'd sooner lose it than still live in it alone

You were our golden child
But the gentle and the mild
Inherit the earth, while

Your prince's crown
Cracks and falls down
Your castle hollow and cold
You've wandered so far
From the person you are
Let go brother, let go
Cos now we all know

Soon, someone will put a spell on you
Perfume, treasure, sorcery, every trick they know
You will lie in a deep sleep
That's when

Your prince's crown
Cracks and falls down
Your castle hollow and cold
You've wandered so far
From the person you are
Let go brother, let go
Cos now we all know

Frog Prince, Keane
--

howdy, y'all. I like this one quite a bit; spent more time than usual [the time spent on his hair can be said in only hours] on it, plus I really liked the concept. Art teacher clasped her hands together in a drug-induced fog and said, "Draw a frog!"
Draw a frog, indeed.

Yes, that's a guy. As is the frog. Oh, the implications!

P.S. Anybody catch an earful of the new Incubus album, Light Grenades? I find it amazing.

P.P.S. Eep! almost forgot. [link] reference from *Moose-Stock .

the contrast between the darkness of the whole thing and the tender feeling of it, makes me feel goosebumps (in a good sense).
GREAT JOB!!!
even the little crown is detailed!!!

Looks amazing! The frog especially. I like the guy's hair. (You always do a great job on hair!) And an interesting and new take on an old story with it being a guy. I wonder how the frog would feel about that. I mean think about it. You're a prince trapped in a frog's body and you have no control over who kisses you. Hmm, interesting concept. I sense a story brewing. Great piece!

Can't say much more then that it is such a pretty picture! You really made him look real and cute, the hair is so detailed and his lips <3
And good job on the frog of course, can't forget the frog

haha, the lower portion of the frog was done in a high school hallway while i was kneeling in front of my locker, scribbling frantically five minutes prior to art class deadline. I hate myself... lol. Thanks for everything!
