Description
This piece was a gift for someone, but things changed. I was going to make it a 14x22 poster and frame it. I guess it came out alright. It's my first time doing anything relating to Wizard of Oz...in fact it's my first time drawing a lion. But I hope some of you enjoy it. Everything's hand drawn and colored in Photoshop except fo the backdrop, which was created in Vue5.Related content

That's nothing. Really. You should see my later Wizard of Oz stuff in my gallery. I'm working on making my stuff better for when I actually draw my story. Thanks for liking!

For a first-time effort, it turned out splendidly. Really nice job. I LOVE the Lion.

If that's your first time drawing a lion, you deserve extra kudos -- that was my favorite part, along with your depiction of Dorothy. (I still insist that Dorothy is supposed to be blonde, but it's a losing battle -- and I do like your Dorothy!)

Well, this Dorothy is naturally blonde (more platinum blonde these days in my 50's now). I was named after Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz...

Cool! Dorothy was my first literary hero, and my first fictional crush. And, yes, blonde, since the first book collection my parents got me were Baum's Oz books. She was blonde in all but the first one, of course, and that made an impression on me. I loved the MGM movie too, but the movie Dorothy just seems like a pale imitation.

Thank you,
I'm glad Dorothy was blonde, it makes me even happier that I was named after her, being blue eyed and blonde myself.

When my own Oz book eventually comes out, you can be sure I'll stick with that hair and eye color!

Thanks for your comment. I think Dorothy's hair is always depicted as brunette because of Alice in Wonderland. However if you've ever played Alice for PC her hair is brunette. I guess it all depends on the art direction.
I'm actually redrawing this piece as we speak. My style has improved a bit since 2006. And when I'm done with it I'm going to draw it again, but in a dark twisted manner. Thanks again for your comment.

It's the Judy Garland movie that's most responsible for everyone thinking Dorothy is Brunette. She was drawn as a blonde in all but the first of Baum's 14 Oz books, and in all of the "famous 40" canon Oz books afterward. I fell as much in love with the artwork as with the story!
But then, what do I know? I've always pictured Alice as blonde, too.

If this is the first time you've drawn a lion, it is difficult to tell. The Cowardly Lion is excellently presented, so life-like for illustrative. I very much like all of the expressions on the characters, especially Dorothy. The entire presentation is a welcome from what we usually see from the quartet. The Flying Monkey is an especially humourouse touch. Nice work, and I'm adding this to my favourites.
