Reality vs. Fantasy. This traditional piece was a personal study on lighting integration and color temperature, where I used myself as the primary reference for the pose and clothing. The main challenge was to realistically merge the organic textures of a Red-Eyed Tree Frog with the matte fabric of a hoodie under a single, dramatic light source.
