This picture had a life of its own. I used a face from a freebie by our lovely Ali Mayes and a body (overpainted) from a Flickr free-to-use picture and music and sheet music cover from Google. As I started to paint over the body template, beginning with the green spotted legs and then the green costume and wings, the sprite became a frog princess waiting for her prince. Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!!
