Found your account from one of my mutuals reblogging that one mini frog post, could I learn about some fucked up frogs :D

Everybody is always banging on about Pipa pipa. Nobody is ever talking about how fucked up Hemiphractidae reproduction is

Like, they range from concealed carry, like this Gastrotheca orophylax

which they achieve with a pouch that has a weird ass opening (lack of hyphenation intentional) (not actually anywhere near the cloaca of the frog) (this has earned them the common name 'marsupial frogs' for a very obvious reason)

…to open carry, like this Fritziana goeldii

which hatch out but remain glued on until developing sufficiently, like this Cryptobatrachus boulengeri

Pretty fucked up, if you ask me.

Calling a baby pouch “concealed carry” is absolutely sending me

Taking a small break from working on pieces that have been super digital-heavy recently. Focussing on line work and not being scared of making mistakes or over focussing on "perfection"

Sometimes photoshop can give too much freedom to be overly critical of each and every mark you make and at the same time take joy and life out of creating.

So here's a bunch of frogos!

@markscherz Froggy art for you.

These are beautiful!
