First impressions are very important.
This picture is based on the fairy tale The Frog Prince. I wanted it to look like a traditional fairy tale picture,
but with a bit of humor in it as well. I took my own reference photos for the princess - I actually dressed up and set the timer on my
camera and posed, since no one else was around at the moment I got the idea for this picture. I painted it all in Photoshop with my tablet.
It took countless hours to get this picture to a point where I was happy with it, but it was all worth it.
This was completed in March of 2007.

Prints of this illustration are available here.
