Description YUSH! IT BE A FROG!

Well - that's all it is right now. I think it needs some sort of background to explain the pose. Int he pose reference [link] it is on some glass, but that's not very frog-like, and would be very hard to show clearly. I thought of a leaf, but that would be more green, which I've already got enough of on the frog. I'm open to suggestions - until something comes along and I have an idea, then it will stay like this.

On another note, this is my first attempt at colour in over two years. Rather scary at first, but quite rewarding too. Several parts (the feet especially) I wish I had more shades avaliable, but hey, they'll do for now. I think after this I'll go back to black and white, but it's nice to know the option for colour is there if I want.

I see someone else suggested a tree trunk, since that was what I was going to suggest Another suggestion would be a rock? If you are limited on shadow-y colors, why not try a deep purple or blue? They work great for shadows

What a great little frog! How about tree bark in the background? Just an idea - or, you could do a leaf, but in black and white to really make your little guy pop!

Love it, just love it!

Awww that's fantastic!!!!
Nice one mate!
This reminds me, once we were cleaning out the garden and a frog jumped outta he soil!!!
wtf????
I was like how the hell did it get in there in the first place?!!
It was funny though, because my cuz and my big sis came running and screaming like a bunch of... well girls.

Aw, it's cute!
I like the tree trunk idea. But glass is kind of cool, too.

How about a tree trunk? Since they're brown and not green? And since it's a tree frog?

You did a great job on the shading in particular
