FOLKS! 👏 It is time, I'm actually opening my commissions

I will continue to accept requests via asks on here but again, no guarantee that I'll actually get back to them, I'll draw whatever speaks to me

I'll open 3 slots for now since I think that's all I can handle with my summer job on the side (no idea if there's actually that much demand lmao)

I also accept donations but again absolutely no pressure :)

froggerland's Commissions

Commissions Open! Click to see froggerland's commission menu.

Unrelated to this but I'm squeezing it in here bc I don't wanna clog up my blog with textposts:

Thank you for all the love for the mermaid au!! I never expected that yall would like it this much, it's just a silly way for me to cope with the summer heat haha. I see all the asks and requests in my inbox and I'll get to them asap

[froggerland]

When do you think you will be opening commissions again 👀?

I'm actually thinking of reopening them pretty soon!!

My semester break is starting soon so I'll hopefully have some free time on my hands. Keep an eye out in the second half of February, I'll make another post when I reopen the commissions, the link to my Kofi is pinned on my blog c:

(rising from the grave, arms crossed) I heard about the terror cultures and languages festival

Explanations under the cut (I have many a thought)

This came to me in a vision: German Tozer would be working in the trades, maybe he's a carpenter or plumber or something, his employer supplied him with some Engelbert Strauss workwear. He's always wearing plain shirts that are at least 10 years old so they're both bleached from the sun and stained/torn from work but unless his tits are showing he's not replacing them ("dat geht doch noch"). He's a smoker, has a bazillion scars from his job, has constant backpain (the slouching isn't helping) and doesn't get paid enough. He's from eastern Germany, some smaller town in Mecklenburg-Western-Pomerania (MV) or Brandenburg near the polish border. That's why he's a Hansa Rostock fan (the only somewhat relevant football club in northeastern Germany, if you are a citizen of MV youre basically required to be a Hansa fan) (they also have a reputation of having especially right-wing and violent fans. Who love pyrotechnics) (also don't ask german Tozer about politics. He doesn't really give a shit and votes for the AfD (right wing populist party))

German Crozier is a retired fisherman from the East Frisian islands. He is a walking stereotype: Yellow Friesennerz (this specific style of raincoat), hipster beanie except the old fishermen wore is first ya dickheads, wooden pipe, rain boots all day everyday and a smoldering hate for all the tourists flooding and polluting his island every summer (very based).

German Fitzjames is an annoying new money finance guy from Frankfurt am Main who made some money with crypto and now he thinks he's escaped the matrix. He's always wearing Polo Ralph Lauren (I couldn't bother to look up the logo), some slacks that are a little too tight and dress shoes. His hair is slicked back and you can smell him and his obnoxiously expensive perfume from a mile away (I realized halfway through drawing this that I basically turned jfj into Jeremy Frangrance. Which. The look isnt too far off)

Anyways jfj is coming onto Croziers island, his little village which was recommended to him as being "a hidden gem that kept it's old-timey charme" (Crozier with yell at him in plattdeutsch (the local dialect that sadly only the old folks still speak) for stepping over the sand dunes)

Never not thinking about Sergeant Little btw......

[froggerland]

Happy birthday Edward Little!!

We were robbed of an official pre expedition daguerreotype so I tried my best to give him one

[froggerland]

I'm watching the recordings of terror camp (I couldn't make it to any of the panels this year sadly) and I suddenly remembered I had this sitting around in procreate??

I made these redraws as covers for my terror dvds, I still need to print them out but I've been meaning to share them for ages (yada yada moving stress yada yada starting uni again you know the drill)

(Version with the shows logo under the cut)

[froggerland]

Today is the one year anniversary of me discovering the terror!!

This show literally changed my life. I received such a warm welcome in this fandom and so much love and adoration for my art that I could've never anticipated. I've met so many amazing people herr and became friends with many of them. But maybe most importantly it reignited my passion for the topic of the Franklin expedition which I first came across when I was 9, it had me in a chokehold back then but eventually I forgot about it so discovering that there's a whole tv show about it was such a great suprise

The show also brought back my love for history as a whole and it led me to take the big step and change career/education paths. It was a really dauting decision but I haven't been this happy in a long time and its essentially because of this show. Tiktok user boobiewoobie I know I told you already but your the terror edit literally changed my life and I'll be in debt to you forever

Because I'm in uni again and even now that I've settled in I don't have as much time and energy for art as I had hoped, but a rewatch of the show is long overdue and I hope that'll get me back into the creative spirit bc I want to draw things!! The muse is just not there atm

I dug up this old draft though, I planned to make a card deck series with all the cold boys, maybe I'll revisit this idea again bc this was really fun to work on and it makes me want to draw more again

So yeah, thank u Dave K for creating this masterpiece of a show!!

[froggerland]

Aaaand another boring info post wohoo!!

So I'll have to extend my hiatus until. Honestly idk when I dont really see a silver lining rn haha

Every year I underestimate how stressful summer and early fall are, especially this year with my summer job and me having to help with the potato harvest more than usual (peasant ass statement I know). On top of that I'm starting uni in october and I'm moving into my first own flat which is exiting but it comes with soooo much paperwork

So I'm incredibly busy and unfortunately that means I have very little time or energy to draw or even just. Be creative in any other way shape or form which sucks big time (what little energy and brainspace I have left is occupied by "Das Boot (2018)" haha)

That's also why I won't be reopening commissions for the foreseeable future. Again, I have no idea when things will be less stressful and when I'll have settled into a routine at uni. But if I can't be sure that I'll have the capacity to finish commissions in a reasonable amount of time I won't be taking on any new ones bc it wouldn't be fair or respectful towards the client (it would also stress me out. Haha)

I'll leave my kofi page up and I'll try to change the settings so my prices are visible (@ several anons who asked for my prices) but again, no promises on anything as of rn. Thank you so much for the interest in commissions!! I genuinely want to reopen them at some point but I should finally learn my lesson not to make promises I can't keep haha

funniest tumblr experience is waking up to 20+ notifications all from ONE person who has obviously just found my account and they then proceed to like and reblog my last dozen or so posts which is then followed by a mysterious anonymous ask. brother who are you trying to fool

[froggerland]

Two ikkimel edits in one day???? Yeah bc this came to me in a vision from hell and had to make it neow to get it out of my system

Song is "Böser Junge" by Ikkimel

[froggerland]

If I ever stop editing the terror and jfj especially to ikkimel songs call the police bc I've been kidnapped

Song is "Bling Bling" by ikkimel if you (the non german speaking terror fandom) even care

[froggerland]

Finished the last season of "das boot" so here’s a poor attempt at drawing ned and tozer in ww2 british military uniforms (it’s surprisingly hard to find good and accurate references)

[froggerland]

Hey guys I'm gonna go on a small hiatus bc

1) work is eating me alive (but I'm making big money so its okay <3)

2) I'm obsessed with the german tv show "Das Boot" at the moment, problem is only me, my irl friend who recommended it to me, about 2 other people on here and probably a few german dads with questionable hyperfixations on WW2 have ever heard of it but I might need to start a sideblog for it anyway

[froggerland]

any chance of reopening coms? i have a steady income rn and if i dont commission you for nsfw fitzconte the world will end (i just saw theres no slots left bc i was planning and scheming but then i had to go to work and so i just checked now and i was like oh. my god theres no slots left and) joking about that btw (the world ending) im just too excited. i have had ur art as my lockscreen on my phone for the past half a year or so (diff arts tho) and i dk idont know i think your art so cool.... ....... perhaps i will send you a dm to ask to be put on a ping list if you do make one / do reopen coms. thank you!

First off: wow I'm flattered that my art gets to be your lockscreen (again sometimes I forget that tumblr isnt just The Void but theres actual people looking at and liking my stuff)

Second: yess I'll reopen commissions eventually, I'm still floored how fast the slots filled up haha, thank you again everyone. It'll be a while tho, I need to finish this batch first and although I expected it my summer job is kicking my ass which means almost no time for art unfortunately (including mermaid content, I will get to mermaid gore and dundy and all the rest eventually. Maybe. But also the weather here is very much not giving summer rn so im not feeling the summer vibes. ANYWAYS)

September will be pretty chill before I move again for uni so maybe I'll reopen commissions then, no promises tho I'll have to see how things progress :)

[froggerland]

Frogger 💀 💀 💀 You’re so great

Thank you thank you you're too kind 💀💀💀

[froggerland]

Your kofi announcement post really made me, an American, laugh because it reminded me that not only are we absolutely living the worst timeline over here but everyone else is watching our Clown Shoes government behave like that?? Honestly so embarrassing RIP us.

I didn't mean to clown yall sorry if it came off like that ;;

But yeah it is frankly insane watching from the sidelines but I feel like the rest of the West is also taking a turn for the worse

I don't wanna get too political, the overall situation isn't great for a lot of people so it's totally understandable if you don't have spare money rn to give to artists who draw silly little british men here on tumblr.gov haha

[froggerland]

do you post your art on tiktok? would love to follow you if you did :)

Haha thank you! I thought about it since I've done a couple of animation meme/art trends that came from tiktok but I'm scared ppl I know irl will find my account (tiktok makes it fairly easy to find users in your contacts) plus I dont think I have the energy or the time to manage two social media channels (thats why I don't have a twitter or bluesky acc either, I think someone asked me that on here before)
