Wonderful thumbnails! I like number 2, 5 and 7 (though for seve, I love the unsymmetrical socks abut I am not sure about the patches on her dress). Five looks a lot like out of.a sit com of the 50s, 2 and 7 are more timeless. All three are very appeling. The choice will depend also from how the rest of the characters look!

I like 2 and 12... #12 seems like a tough and stronger Dorothy character by her posture. These two seem the most solid to me. # 6- the pose is awkward. But I also like how #9 is totally different from everything you've done.
#7 would be interesting, too. I'd like to see her developed more and in color.

I like 6. Thanks for sharing I like seeing the variation.

@smceccarelli Thanks! I started out with a simple re-design and then wanted to try a 50s vibe. I'm still undecided, but maybe I'll try to add more asymmetry to the designs.

Jodi Gregg

@Larissa-Brown-Marantz Thank you! I keep going back and forth between 2 and 12 to go a cute or tough direction. I might try some more tough poses/designs. I'll try to develop a few more.

Jodi Gregg

@Chris-Perry I like 6's design but maybe not the pose. I'll keep uploading more thumbnails as I go! Glad you like them.

Fell a bit behind, but am kicking it into full gear tonight! Decided on a 1950's update theme. Decided on Dorothy #12, I just really dig her tough tomboy attitude. Had three ideas for the Tin Woodsman: 1) A 1950's Greaser, 2) 50's Johnny Cash, or 3) a more traditional 50's Woodsman/ Logger. My faves are 1, 8 for design, 5/6 for the face construction.

Moving on to the Scarecrow, and then either the Lion or Glinda. Will circle back to the one's that look best together and adjust as needed.

Your drawings have a really nice looseness and weight to them! Welcome to the forums!

I like them all, but my favorite is number 7. I think it is because of the age - he looks like he could be Dorothy´s friend rather than Dorothy´s grandad, like the others. Number 2 is also nice (for the same reason!), but I believe it reminds too much of the main character of "Robots".However, they are really all good, so all valid choices!

I like 6... great gesture and has a fun "teeny bopper" appeal. Great approaches, lots of variety to choose from.

Process Update #1:

So things got crazy and handed this in just in time. So here is the process update. These are the Scarecrow sketches. The two ideas I had were a 50s Salesman or a Beatnik. As much as I loved the beatniks they did not feel cohesive in the line (will get to that later).

Jodi Gregg

Process Update #2:

When I was still trying to make the scarecrow a beatnik. I tried to make the Lion a salesman... decided that I wasn't feeling the lion in clothes, plus time was starting to run down, so I went with the last design.

Jodi Gregg

Process Update #3:

After some debate, decided the final lineup based on which designs went together the best.

Jodi Gregg

Process Update #4:

And here is the final submission! Thanks for all the feedback and support! Sorry I fell behind with the updates.
