Oh my goodness! This ended up looking super amazing! THE BACKGROUND MAN! the background looks utterly stunning! THE CLOUDS, THE TREES.... everything! I envy people that can draw so beautiful sceneries... I really struggle when I have to do one XDDD
Also I love how you shaded the fabric on their clothes and the lion's mane looks amazing!

Yeah!! I actually finished the first chapter last year but I decided to reboot it and do some more work on the comic... I've made some changes to the designs and also the script. I'm going to be using everything in Baum's book but I'm also adding a few things: some references to later books and characters, and also some original scenes/ bits of dialogue that will clear up parts that Baum left out.

So gorgeous!!
Like someone else commented, I can totally see some Van Gogh-esque style in the background. Especially in the clouds -- how you're very rough in painting them and leaving lines. It works beautifully! Fleet's gotta be my favorite in this. I love his colors and how the mane turned out!

Thus is incredible! I love the background. It's like a mixture of van Gogh, Dr Seuss, and your own style.

Wow. great design. Don't know why, but I Β have problem with Oz characters most. Will you post comic? oh, and also, where is Glinda? I see her in tags but not on picture.

Really? Does it have to do with the way that people design them, or what?
Haha yeah I added tags for Glinda but she's not in the piece. I just added that tag because she's a central character in the story and so she's indirectly related to this.

Not sure really. I think it is because you need to balance originality with recognisability. It is boring to always bring up film design and stupid, but same thing happens when you go totally of note, extra dark and sexual.
Ah, understand.

Yeah I agree with you totally! Some people make it too... dark, too horrific, and also tend to sexualize it too much like you said. It's also annyoing when they just draw the mgm version instead of their own design. The story is so unique and the characters are so cool that it's a shame that they just cop out of doing something fun and original.
