“The prince started out as an exercise. Finally a free weekend I can spend on realizing my own concept. I’ve been thinking about it all week. I usually don’t do concepts for exercises, all I knew I wanted something different. Not another head, not a monster or soldier, the net is full of those. Then I remembered a photo I took last summer on a lakeside nearby. That’s it! A frog is not a complicated character and it has it’s certain charm 🙂 I really like nature photography and have some experience in it so it shouldn’t be too hard.”
