#tiny toads

[markscherz]

Mr Frog guy, what is the different between a frog & a toad?

This is probably the second most common question I receive, after "what's your favourite frog".

There is no difference, because this is a false dichotomy. It is not a comparison of equal categories. Toads are one of the ~55 frog families. Toads unequivocally are frogs.

If you want to know the difference between toads and some other family or clade of frogs, you would either have to be more specific, or identify features that are unique to toads—synapomorphies of Bufonidae. These are the differences between toads and all other frogs.

Synapomorphies of Bufonidae include the parotoid glands (but not present in all toads), some funky muscular arrangements, a weird bone in the skull, and the Bidder's organ, which is basically a backup ovary in male toads that allows them to become reproductively active females if their testes are damaged or removed surgically.

May I offer you a tiny toad?

(my cousin found her when he moved stuff at my mom's home. So I took a photo and moved it. Also, I did not want the chickens to find it)

Ta-daaaaa

I made a universe where Wario owns a casino(cuz why not) and some of the employees (mainly Waluigi) are just seeking drama.

Btw did you know that according to an old piece of Mario Tennis media (I think?) it is stated that Waluigi actually steals Luigi's underwear and sells it on Ebay. Devious behavior indeed.

I'll show the image once I find it in the future.

A large collection of Mario doodles, mainly from the movies and Mario and Luigi sprites that I mainly used to practice expressions.

Then there is also this Smg4 page-

I really want to make more collage like pages in my sketchbook just because I personally think they end up looking really cool and are a great way to not waste page space!

Also I don’t want to post it by itself so here is also a sketch of me and a friend of mine in Ghibli-

Bowser is lucky the superstar seems to have healed all of Mario and Luigi’s injuries. 

You know Mario would throw hands and straight up murder Tiny Bowser if he saw the bruising and chaffing that had to exist on Luigi’s wrists after being tied up and dragged around for hours by those shy guys.

Liam and Emily were kind enough to let me lay Pan to rest overlooking their farm and stay the week until my partner got home. This puppy is going to miss being a farm dog.

“Warts and All”

Acrylic on canvas, 3x3”

With the help of some molding paste, this portrait of a toad based on a photo I took really came to life. The eyes, warts, and fingers actually feel bumpy, which you can kind of see on the side view. I also put some gloss on the eyes.

Need y’all to understand how small this thing is

Horned toads were scarce through the summer and early fall, then in October there were tons of babies.  Gus’s tiny grand-lizards!
