It’s Her…
Frog
Frog is the featured swatchy for the May 2025 Issue of FAGIOLINA. Last month’s swatchy, soft boiled, was intense. This month I wanted to make something quicker and more lighthearted.
I know I left some of the edges a little sketchy and I didn’t even bother detailing the hands, but I'‘m happy with how she came out overall. I love frog people, I’ve always thought they were so charming. You can see a timelapse of my drawing below. Below that I want to share some of my past frog related work…
Years ago I studied 3D art and game design at an online university. The program was really shoddily put together and I definitely would not recommend my school to anyone, but that’s a subject for another time…
Anyways one of the things I did during my time there was a group project with some other artists and writers. We were tasked with making a game design document for either a puzzle game or an FPS.
I never cared for FPS games, but wanted to challenge myself. So I pitched an FPS concept that I would enjoy. A Frog Person Shooter. The group voted and my idea won, so that’s what we made the doc for. Here’s a couple models I made years ago for it:
They’re… fine. Cute concepts. The 2D illustrations had a lot more life, but I didn’t draw those and haven’t really talked to the artist since that contest. I think I could make them much better if I redid them again today, but I’ve got too much else going on for now. Like remodeling Dainty Apricot in time for her showcase! I loved working with others, and hope I keep getting to in the future.
