Following from the first and second Seasonal Frog Sets, I present a third, by somethingorother, a friend off the Mortal Engines discord server. Rather than dress the same frog in seasonally appropriate outfits, he’s done a series of stages of the lifestyle of actual frogs. (And no, before you ask, the tadpole is not a pregnancy announcement.)

You can see more of his work at his Artstation page here.

I posted a few years ago about the joys of being able to go out and commission art from people (almost all of it on the theme of sad frogs). This winter I went to TWO artist friends commissioning an icon refresh and, now that Spring has Sprung, it’s time to get these frogs into action.

These were by my pal Lilla, who posts lots of stuff at her Tumblr here. If you’re interested in commissioning her for some work, she has a commissions page here with prices!

One of the real pleasures of being an Employed Adult and having a little bit of disposable income is getting to commission things from artists. I’ve been using Matsumoto Hoji’s frog print (henceforth The Gloomy Frog) as an icon on Facebook and various other places for years now (since 2014!) but decided I wanted a bit of seasonal variation, and the lovely Skyla from the Mortal Engines Discord server was only too happy to oblige.

Here are the Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter frogs she created for me.

And a bonus picture she did of myself WITH the frog!
