A frog sits square to the viewer while a dense field of pale dots turns the night into a soft constellation. Short engraved strokes model the limbs and belly so the form feels tactile without becoming busy, and the profile of the head holds a quiet highlight that anchors the gaze. Beneath the figure, a few horizontal lines suggest damp ground and keep the posture stable. The composition is deliberately simple, letting the crisp outline and the measured pattern carry presence from across the room, then rewarding a closer look with tiny cuts and gentle paper grain.
I built this portrait to explore calm strength. With a limited palette and decisive shapes, the frog becomes an emblem more than a specimen, a modern folk icon that can live comfortably in contemporary interiors. The starry backdrop is not loud; it is a slow rhythm that frames the silhouette and gives the scene air.
Layered digital illustration, precise line work, and subtle watercolor textures maintain sharp edges and a premium tactile finish at large sizes.
