The Wizard of Oz



After reading L Frank Baum's Wonderful Wizard of Oz, I got into my head the idea of making the Wizard of Oz into a superhero comic book, the resemblance of the main four characters to the Fantastic Four too delicious to ignore (Dorothy the leader; Scarecrow the brain; Tin Woodman the passionate; Lion the brave). And so, I began to draw character designs. I eventually abandoned the project, because I'd rather spend the long time it takes me to draw to draw my own creations. The pictures below are very reminiscent of W W Denslow's illustrations (from the book), but I expected that as I got more comfortable with the characters, they would acquire a more unique look.
