Here is my rendition of the Good Witch of the North from L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of OZ.EDIT: Improved on her outfit and gave her a hat, like in the book.

I've read somewhere that she was also called 'Locasta', which is a bit better than 'Tattypoo'. An excellent design. It's a pity she didn't show up more often.

Both names were used. Tattypoo's just sillier, hence why I named her that.

I must admit I didn't know her name was Tattypoo. I thought she was only in the first book "The wonderful wizard of Oz". What other books is she into?

Wow, never seen this character before. Must be an obscure one.

She's from the first book in the Oz series.

Aha, nice. Nice that you're getting the obscure characters here!

Cool. Definitely see the Baum influences. But one would've thought George Lucas or JK Rowling came up with a name like Tattypoo.

Nope, it was Baum, alright. Is purple a good color for her dress and sleeves?

I would think so. Honestly, though, the colors made me initially think of a priest or bishop, or some sort of religious figure. This might be a reach, but I think that's actually a really good way to go. If you think about it, the character, being a symbol of good and hope in Oz would probably be considered a religious figure of sorts. And purple is a very regal color to boot, which is why purple is a choice color for religious figures anyway. I know I might be really thinking too much into it, but I like that logic come to think of it. Better than the all pink dress Glenda wore in the 1939 movie. Not being entirely familiar with the original books, is this Witch of the North the same as Glenda the Witch of the North in the movie?

In the book, Tattypoo is the witch of the North and Glinda is the Witch of the South.

I see. Now that you mention it, that sounds familiar.

I don't mind the name at all, personally. She looks good too.

You're welcome.
You're also welcome to check out my gallery anytime. I appreciate good feedback on my work, but any negativity towards them WILL be erased, just so you'll know.
Meanwhile, good luck with your future Animated Movie Reviews and hopefully I'll see ya in more installments of "Fantasy Movie Memories" (some of my faves in FMM are the ones of Hook, The Last Unicorn, Flight of the Navigator, Gojira/Godzilla and Return to Oz). And thanks for introducing me to the 80s version of "Clash of the Titans" - I managed to watch it on TCM a few nights ago.

Sounds like you can't take negative criticism. That's pathetic.

So sue me. I have autism, and I'm sensitive about these things.

I'm very sorry for what I said. You're not pathetic, but you should learn to take SOME negative criticism and use it to improve later. However, there are some negative criticisms you can do without.

...nice design, and good rendition of the character. But the name...STILL hard to take seriously.

I mena...what would be your normal reaction to someone named 'Tattypoo' in a normal, everyday earth instead of Oz (Where weird names like that can be the norm)
