Frog Prince WIP1


Work in progress shot of a painting I am working on for the Bobby Chiu and CGHub contest where the brief is to retell a fairytale with a new spin. I thought about which fable to go with for some time and decided on the frog prince story, reasons being it offered interaction between multiple characters and a mix of human and creature designs. I know I have done ancient asia themed pieces a number of times before but I jumped on the idea when I thought of showing the prince as an overgrown Chinese money frog. More steps to follow and some earlier phases maybe...

Hey Ben thats a really nice start, nice use of lighting, and interesting idea and interpretation. You should Render it out to the point that your eyes are bleeding. Ive just started on my entry, still sketching it though.
