[Art] Elemental Frogs

[moonvoice]

This series of frogs are specifically elemental frogs, small enough to be used on an altar, or for directional support when 'calling' the corners. Each frog shape is based on a different frog morphology. Under the cut you'll find photos and scans of all of them. :)

Earth Frog - scan.







These are only being sold together - as a batch of four, original and signed pieces. Here's what they look like. They are done on illustrator's board, with watercolour pencil, pencil, water-fast fineliner, and acrylic and iridescent paint. Measuring 9 x 17 centimetres, or 3.5 x 6.6 inches.

$145 USD / $185 AUD
(including insured / registered shipping).
This works out to less than $50 a piece, which for four signed originals, just doesn't happen very much anymore! Gotta love a recession (well, not really...)

Earth frog looks very cute, like I want to pinch his cheeks. ;)

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I like earth frog too. :)

[wireandroses.livejournal.com]

what kind of frog is earth frog based on? it looks very wise and friendly.

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

One of the weird-looking Australian frogs that actually lives without water for months at a time inside the earth, carrying all its water inside it instead.

Can't remember the name though. *blush*

I think it's just called a Water-Holding Frog. But don't quote me on that.

I knew one called Tiddalik. ;)

Those are so unbelievably gorgeous! I wish I had the money!

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

I like them! I like them lots. I think using the different frog morphologies/body styles to suggest the different elements worked out very well. Is Air a tree frog? That was my guess from appearance.

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Air is based loosely on the red-eyed tree frog. :D

[wordslinger.livejournal.com]

Beautiful!

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

[anrui-ichido.livejournal.com]

Squee! They are so cute, but oddly enough, I am totally endeared by air-frog. ^-^

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Aw thank you! :D

The earth frog makes me giggle. The fire frog makes me want to get into trouble. hehehe!

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Heh, thank you! :)

[child0fbalance.livejournal.com]

Frogs! If I had the money to spare I'd totally buy them...alas.

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :D

Water Frog is totally my favouirte but I am in love with the shininess of Air Frog.

[vyxen.livejournal.com]

I love earth frog he's my favorite!

[cariadwen.livejournal.com]

Totally agree, he's reallly very special.

[lupabitch.livejournal.com]

I apologize in advance--Water Frog immediately made me think of Frogger crossing the river ;)

But seriously--these are awesome! I'm really liking this alternative elemental interpretation of various totems, because so often people get locked into assorted correspondences.

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Aw thank you. And I like looking outside conventional correspondences. :D

[myrrhmade.livejournal.com]

Wow, these are stunning!

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

Have you ever thought about doing a Tarot deck or some other oracle based on your stye of art? I would totally buy it.

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

I've actually done an oracle deck, though I'm not in any rush to get it published. You can see the artwork for it (it focused on Australian animals) here:

And you can see my animal totem dictionary here:

They're all beautiful, but I particularly love the water frog. :)

[deathofone.livejournal.com]

Water and Fire are definitely the coolest looking, by my choice. I love them all though. Amazing work! :D

[tigressmin.livejournal.com]
