It is a classic that has been told and retold in so many different ways but what could be the original is the German folk tale which translates as "The Iron Heinrich" or "The Frog King".
There have been numerous modern media adaptations throughout the history of film and theatre, most notable of which are "The Tale of the Frog Prince",the first story presented by Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre in 1982, The Frog Prince ,a 1986 film starring John Paragon and Aileen Quinn, and The Princess and the Frog, a 2009 Disney animated film, loosely based on the 2002 novel The Frog Princess by E. D. Baker.
The version I was commission to draw is a storybook-type comic where the enchanted Frog does not turn into a king or prince after getting a kiss from the beautiful maiden but instead casts a spell that turns the kisser into a frog-like creature.
This is one of the first book art commission that I did line work completely on Paint Tool SAI and started getting used to using it instead of Photoshop for sketching and inking.
I did colors for the cover but got help from my good friend and former student Edwin Domingo for colors on interior art.
