Artist's Comments

Soft pastels and oil sticks on black butcher paper. October, 2008.
Dimensions: about 4x5 feet
Inspired by my chalk challenge entry "Monster Frog" [link]

I had originally intended to basically recreate the original piece in a permanent medium - using the same colors and simply leaving the background black. I listened to the Spawn soundtrack while working - one of the few cd's I had on hand that I dubbed suitable for the rendering of a giant, toothy beast. As a result, the evolution of the drawing took a decidedly psychedelic turn.

Swallow the Stars by ~LupinGoddess shows a lovely executed space frog eating all the stars and galaxies. I especially love the glowing eye and the color-scheme. You're looking for great traditional art? Then ~LupinGoddess is the person to visit! (Featured by ^taenaron)

Very striking. I love the way the composition pulls your eye into the off center where all the light is collected.

I feel like I'm staring at the Jörmungandr...finally getting to stop gnawing on his tail and eat the world.

Wow, that's funny you say that. The same thought crossed my mind while I worked on it. I also thought of the Australian mythical beast, the whowie. It was said to be an enormous beast with the body of a goanna, six legs, and the head of a frog. It basically swallowed anything in its path.

Whowie wow! :wow: :P
