Sir Ribbity, Protagonist

Protagonist progression videos

The main protagonist, Sir Ribbity, this is his 7th variation since his concept was initially drawn up.

Sir Ribbity, & the game ‘Under the Lily Pad’ was originally inspired by frog who still live on my porch currently in a milkjug house I made for a bird.

Last year I saw a bird living in a bag of trash I had hung on my porch. So I made the bird a nice birdhouse out of an old milk jug, w soft bottom of shredded papers & an awning I cut & taped.

Never saw that little bird again, but instead a green treefrog made it his home & still lives there.

He was cool looking & I would think about making him into an adventure type character who could use his tongue as a whip & do cool frog inspired combat as he traveled through time…eventually I went w a Red Eye Treefrog, very similar to the one on my porch but a bit more stylish with eye catching colorations. I believe the one who inspired me is an American Treefrog.

Down below shows some progression images of the protagonist from some of his his early designs before he gained his current look.
