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 .

OMG thank you for reminding me! lmao. i had minor referencing on his face, but a near-full reference on the frog from a stock photo on dA. I'd better link up.

Thanks for everything!

wow fantastic!! I am always amazed with your work. Love the lips too! You should do some pencil tutorials (tutorials are probably a pain in the ass, but I'm curious to know how you get your stuff to look so great!)

hmmm I should, shouldn't I? I thought about doing a tutorial a while back and even started one, but I got bogged down with school, as usual. now that summer's on the horizon, a tutorial is definitely on the to-do list! keep an eye out for it.

and thanks so much for the comment and !
