Looking for advice on anatomy and foreshortening, mostly. Marked the bottom of the chest and line of the spine in white because it was getting a little lost in my messy coloring, and included a rough sketch of the normal standing shapes.

I’m aiming for more raptor/humanoid than frog, which is what I feel like it’s reading right now. Coloring advice would be cool, but I am more interested in help on how to keep the anatomy grounded in what is physically possible, while making it distressing in a horror creature sort of way. Thank you!

The blank eye was a really good, eerie touch, but imma leave it out, for now, to make the pose a little more consistent. I really like your thin, stick-like arms too, and tried to mimic them ( with little success as you can see ). It’s a really nice pose!

The reason you might read an amphibian of this creature is in part due to the structure of the legs looking identical to that of a frog, with the thick ‘thigh’ and skinny calf. The claws fanning out at the bottom also resembles that of the frog's long toes, and that coupled with the rich green colour makes the read overwhelmingly amphibian. 

I shortened the calf of the creature too. It seems to boast the ability to stand upright somewhat, based on its vertical spine, although, running and walking with a leg structured like that, without some sort of healthy density to it could prove awkward. Especially, since based on the original picture - I gathered that its leg-to-torso ratio was pretty uneven, and it would need some pretty dense limbs to carry that sort of unbalanced weight.  I gave the legs a bit more balanced weight distribution to do away with the frog-leg read. As well as defined the claws a little more, adding the large talon in the centre. This should do away with the frog-resemblance somewhat. 

Undoubtedly, the colour also has a lot to say about the amphibian read. Our classic fairytales almost always depict frogs in bright and vibrant green, which means that we associate said colour with said critter.  If you want to stick to the green palette, then I recommend you breaking it up with another hue, such as blue, yellow or grey-ish. 

o fuck i forgot there was a new episode u are a gift
