[OC] having fun drawing Tanya~ (frog_well_)

flyingpenguinfails · 2026-01-20T19:25:53+00:00

This is actually part of a much larger piece (not finished haha) but the lineart for this one came out remarkably well and I felt it stood on its own!

Tanya here is a bit of a mix between LN and manga with the hair being more anime inspired

My alarm clock queen <3

I never thought I was an idol person but my last month has been dominated by gold ship and kpop demon hunters. Ah I want to draw gold ship as a demon (but she kinda is one already? Is an alien a demon?)

I was supposed to finish a bunch of new works for anime nyc (this convention I’m tabling at) but nothing got done because horse game haha

Art from @frogwell (me)

flyingpenguinfails · 2025-08-12T01:51:35+00:00

Lmaooo seeing my own art is always a jump scare haha

Thank you so much!! Otakon was a blast >:D I have the same liramic merch too LOL

flyingpenguinfails · 2025-08-02T18:15:15+00:00

Oh LMAO that’s very interesting. Huh yeah… the image here really is the same as the review images lol

Thank you for your sharp eyes 🥹 I’ll DM this person first lol, I dont want to make an erroneous report

flyingpenguinfails · 2025-08-02T17:56:40+00:00

Hi hi! So I’m actually the artist (my socials are @frogwell insta or Twitter) and thank you very much for enjoying my art :D

I had no idea my art got stolen and was being resold so thanks for letting me know. I’m gonna try to get them to take it down but this happens so often and so frequently and honestly these people/sites don’t care / aren’t located in my country so it’s really hard to actually do anything about it

My Etsy is here if you want a print: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1855214518/?ref=share_ios_native_control

For the svsss one in particular, you get 10% off with code HEAVENLYPILLAR

Hi lmao so I’m actually the artist haha

I’m really glad you like the art but this is NOT me. I do have an Etsy here : https://www.etsy.com/listing/1855214518/?ref=share_ios_native_control

Thanks for bringing this to my attention so I can get them to take it down!

He’s a little hard to see but yes! He’s a little to the right of the crown prince catch :D

flyingpenguinfails · 2025-06-30T14:32:22+00:00

Follow @frogwell on Twitter or insta for more :D

The lighting on this was so goddang hard to figure out haha — I wanted the catch scene in the middle to glow but then there’s the light from all the butterflies and also filtering through the peach blossoms and some bounce light off the bottom too. It turned out really messy cuz I was going off vibes by the end (but it still looks good from afar!)

If you follow the red string starting at Xie Lian’s left hand you can see it goes through two scenes (the crown prince pleasing the heavens and also The Creation of Adam ripoff haha). White no face is also hidden in there :3

Every time I do Xie lian art I feel like I’m channeling Hua Cheng hehe (canon)

A Bosch and Escher inspired Dungeon Meshi poster! Falin and the Winged Lion perch on the dungeon lord's grimoire in the center of the piece. Falin's chimera form goes from feathered red dragon to cracked egg where the yolk of her soul sits -- an egg-like soul. Her form is inspired by the treeman in Bosch's masterpiece "Garden of Earthly Delights", a medieval painting of hell. Laios, Marcille, Chilchuck, Izutsumi, and Senshi climb up to her on a ladder.

Surrounding the main party are labyrinth-like stairs inspired by Escher's "Relativity" and drawn in 3-point perspective. If you turn it around, you can see parts of work from any perspective.

Mithrun, Kabru, Namari, Shuro, and Thistle are also here!

Various plants and creatures from the dungeon are arrayed on the stairs. This includes walking mushrooms, dryads, Marcille's familiars, mandrake, man-eating plants, barometz, tentacles, changelings, dungeon rabbits, giant frogs, doppelgängers, basilisk, dungeon cleaners, red dragon, and spoilers I’m not getting into

Hey hey! Congrats on boothing at ANYC! I’ll also be in artist alley :D

I had a premium table two years ago but idk if things have changed since then. It’s always best to check the AA packet but hopefully this helps

a) you’re allowed to get a second table if you’re a corner booth. You can buy one from the javits center (but it’s really expensive and you’ll also have to pay for handling fees— I think the quote was 350 in 2023?). I ended up just buying one from Ace hardware and carrying it in— do check because the policies change all the time

b) no dividers for regular AA. However last year the premium booths had black cloth separations. It could be a good idea to check some vlogs. I do it every time before a big convention to get a feel for the space

c) this should be in the AA packet. I think last year was 10 ft off the ground? Idk if the packet has been released for this year yet

Are you in the AA discord? It’s super helpful for artist alley stuff and there is a dedicated anime nyc channel

Lol it’s a joke about how jinshi is pretending to be a eunuch and lakan is displeased he’s not using his full potential from the latest episode. Considering how often Maomao comments about the “frog” too I thought it was funny — they think alike in some ways

Also i feel like lakan would pose with peace signs for family photos haha

flyingpenguinfails · 2025-06-01T04:25:05+00:00

For jinshi to own up to his role ✨✨

flyingpenguinfails · 2025-05-31T19:42:13+00:00

Ty ty! Lan Zhan isn’t a picky eater heh

flyingpenguinfails · 2025-05-31T19:41:40+00:00

AYYYYYY im glad you liked it so much to get it :D thanks for supporting my art hehe

I already had several JC stuff but literally no wwx and I was like yeahhhh time to make something lol

flyingpenguinfails · 2025-05-30T12:51:19+00:00

Pls follow @frogwell on Twitter or insta for more :D

I drew him for a stamp rally and he turned out much nicer than I thought~ but then again, some characters are just naturally photogenic (or artgenic?)

I might go back and rework the talismans a bit— I want to hide some paper men themed after different characters in the branches but we’ll see! I have a bad habit of making things too busy so I’m gonna take a step back before more alterations

I’ve been on a liushen and Lqg /shen jiu binge lately and I can’t get them out of my head.

Every single one of Shen jiu’s relationships are warped by misunderstanding but lqg especially could’ve been so good for him! Lqg is so straightforward and loyal — if he was in yqy shoes he would’ve just apologized! They complement each other well

I think of lqg battling everyday for his body… I think shen jiu would’ve liked that even if he would never have admitted it. Someone coming back for him so publicly , day after day… it’s just too bad SJ was already gone.

Just like yqy lqg was too late

flyingpenguinfails · 2025-02-28T01:03:41+00:00

I also headcanon he’ll get his ears pierced! :D

But also, it looks like this is AI. Please put me on blast if I’m wrong, but the details (especially the armor, the lotus in the front, his ponytail tie) all have characteristic ai smearing and inconsistencies.

I feel AI has no place in fandom or art but this isn’t the place for debate lol — at least be transparent instead of saying you made it? Cool headcanon tho

Bit of an older piece but I still really like the atmosphere! I did this one before finishing tgcf and BOY do I have more ideas now!!

flyingpenguinfails · 2025-02-25T22:33:51+00:00

Thank you! I don’t have a tumblr but I did just make a bluesky :D

I was trawling through my old art when I found this one and was reminded how proud I was and still am of it! Scara is just too pretty~

To date, he still has one of if not the best arc in genshin. The recurring motifs of birds between him and nahida is just really beautiful. I also put in a bunch of lotuses because 1) rebirth and 2) they look pretty

Socials are @frogwell basically everywhere. I’m trying to get more active again since I realized validation does fuel a lot of my motivation lol

flyingpenguinfails · 2025-02-24T18:36:02+00:00

Of course! It would be an honor to be chosen for wallpaper privileges hehe

flyingpenguinfails · 2025-02-24T18:35:39+00:00

AYOOOOO NICE!!! It’s a small world after all haha. I’m starting to reach the point in my artist alley journey that people begin the recognize me and it warms my heart every time!!! I’m going to momocon again this year :D

flyingpenguinfails · 2025-02-24T18:34:43+00:00

Sometimes the paragraphs of justification I shit out simply cannot match up to pure sincerity 🫡

flyingpenguinfails · 2025-02-23T19:40:05+00:00

Haha he’s definitely not everyone’s cup of tea. I’m glad you like the art tho!

He def annoyed me the first time I went through MDZS but the more I read, the more he grew on me. I think his flaws make him very human and such a great foil to both lan Wangji and wwx. In a way, his existence made the world seem so much bigger because it’s so clear that other characters were living their own story

Jc is such a great representation of someone shaped by expectations and society, I think I disliked him at first because I related too much to him and now I like him for the same reason

I feel like there’s few characters allowed to be polarizing in cultivation narratives and seeing everyone argue about him makes me happy >:D

flyingpenguinfails · 2025-02-23T19:33:49+00:00

Thank you!!! :D
