After roughly marking the shapes and composition, I set on fixing the colors to my preference. It's easier to paint with "daylight" colors and them use a color balance adjustment to get a cool atmosphere.
I changed the human figure to a deer, because it felt more natural. I needed a well known element to make it clear that the frog is actually huge. It's supposed to be sitting on a rock, but I forgot to spend more time on that.
I used an additional "dust" brush, but I preferred the clean look. I keep all details on separate layers since I have to make quick decisions. It's easier to turn off a layer then mask problems by painting.
The sun was setting and the leaves and twigs danced in the wind breeze. The magic forest awoke with a start of crickets and swallows singing. The trees glowed softly with a purple tint and giant creature finally woke more it's winter slumber...
It stretched its limbs and took a deep breath, its stomach rumbling. It hadn't eaten since autumn and it was mighty hungry. Out of the bushes jumped out a deer, the giant frog observed it curiously. The deer was momentarily stunned, but it continued it gallop deeper into the forest. The frog sighed and looked around for its next meal.
