Twilight in Glo-frog City

The first piece of 2009!
This was supposed to be a quick little assignment, but it got a little ambitious. It's for my Wintersession class, Monster (we talk about monsters): We were assigned to do a piece about Beauty vs. Revulsion...I went off on a "glowing frogs in cages would be neat" tangent, and here we are. Aren't glowing frogs-in-birdcages neat?
That's the thing about being an artist under a deadline...even your most delirious whims can be transformed into sleepless hours of wrist-ache
It's really a pretty slapped-together effort...for what it is, I'm very pleased with it. But now I am in need of some sleep. It's good to get a little work done again; I've been feeling very unproductive lately! Hopefully this will help shake me out of vacation.
For now, I really hope you enjoy it! Hopefully there will be plenty more work to come this new year.

As usual, very soon there will be more info, sketches, and chatter at my blog: [link]
