Description
Gah........ What can I possibly say about this?So um.
-cough-
My sketchbook.
(Erm. Well. Glances at pile of paper agglomerating on desk. My sketchpile.)
My sketchbook (sketchpile more accurately) has this fighter guy in it. He appeared last week. I wish I had some pre-conjured up background for a good read for you guys. Some cool witty mini account of the misadventures of this bewildered fighter explainig why he is traversing through a frog filled terrain. But I don't.
But more importantly, photoshop is a wonderful thing. Photoshop continues to amaze me the deeper I get. The interesting thing is that new powers reveal themselves to me all the time. Photoshop is akin to an onion. There always seems to be a deeper layer to any given function or tool. I wonder what I will find at the center.. Maybe my screen will go blank and say, 'Congratulations! You have reached the end. Go back. You have won a flat bed 11x17 scanner.' That would be nice.
Enjoy!

O__o ......!!! (meaning NICE )
Funny, I really don't like frogs in real life, but yours are just so nice. It just might make me change my mind about them...or not I can always just like them on your pic

Frog-Fu is a wonderful idea! Except for the eating flies to power it up. I really like the composition and the colors: very nicely done!

your work is amazing ... in my county we have "Vecernicek" ... it's a name for short cartoons for small kids, but even old people like it ... I wish you was on of the people, who make them.

I really like your work. I like this piece a lot because I'm into martial arts. This picture made me smile. Your samurai warrior looks great and the frog idea was fun. I like the colors you chose, the colors tend to say 'serious' but the frogs are funny. But I think if there was enough frogs even I could get scared. LOL.
Great work.

that's a brilliant scene and idea to draw ^^ I love frogs, the Kenshi fighter, his expression and his emotions about these crazy jumpy frogs! By the way, coloring is great!
Well, that's why I the pic.

I had a dream like that once! I was being followed around by a bunch of frogs.
But your frogs are much cuter than my dream ones.

Dreams are the best. Most of mine are terribly realistic encounters with all of my teeth falling out and I find myself with a handful of teeth pleading desperately to a dentist to put them back in my mouth. Gosh, it is so real.

XD Aww man Rayray, You out did your self with cuddley adorable (least to say Devious) kung fu Frogs. i love the little guy on the left in whos practicially doing the super man pose... I want to adopt him, and name him commanderWoggles, And he shall Defend all frogs from the Eaters of frogs! which is slightly ironic becuase i had frog legs about 2 days ago >.> FORGIVE ME!!! T_T and of course, least i forget to say, You are getting better and better at hiding the use of photoshop in your art. Its a little harder to tell this time. Only way i could figure it out is the lines following the frogs is the basic brush with a little bit of airbrush turned on because the edges fade away. Oh and that you said you used photoshop in your Discription..>_> that too. Great Job Rayray!

RayArray In reply to SnackPak [2006-08-06 07:03:14 +0000 UTC]
DAwww. Your comments are always the best. You always bring the hugest smile to my face. That little frog is in the superman pose. I love how someone can notice that, and I didn't even realize it when I drew it!
Commander Woggles is it? That's good. HAHAH. I hope you can give him a spectacle and a proper suit for his rank.. I like how you can point out the chalk brush! I was really happy when I found it. It was a little slice of heaven to draw those in so fast. I'm totally enjoying the fact that I haven't had to mix acrylics in the past week. This might be the end of my days of cautiously mixing cadmium red in the hopes that I won't destroy my liver prematurely. Nahaha. Nah. I wouldn't give up my acrylics. But my boyfriend might start to think I'm dating Photoshop in place of him. He already looks at my paint box with suspicion. But photoshop is much more addictive.

I agree with you on PS β the possibilities are endless, and a prize 11x17 scanner β βwere do I sign upβ (had one of those in my other job β you donβt see them anymore, the thing was sweeeeet!)
I really like this piece, Iβm a sucker for frogs(just check my faves.) β luv each one on there, each with a different pose β gives it great movement. The Kenshi pose is great too, and I really like how the armor and clothes turned out, just all around great job! Instant Fave.

Well personally I think he rescued the frog that is sitting on his staff from a gruesome death on an old dirt road (he was about to be trampled by a horse drawn carriage). Being the kind warrior that he is, our hero went to his local druid translator and found out where the frog lived. He then brought the frog home, and upon frog's safe return the frog family began hopping and "flying" for joy...... um gotta go, the guys with the white jackets are looking for me.....
