      Here is my Dorothy - nearly finished i think - i read "The wonderful Wizard of Oz" after the prompt was given - the circle on her forehead is my interpretation of the apotropaic mark put upon Dorothy's forehead at the beginning of the book - Ended up putting Toto in there as a bit of a cheat to help show who this is - feel a bit bad about that for some reason - but really she is just an ordinary girl with a blue and white gingham dress and a small black dog - really looking forward to seeing what everyone else has done this Thursday!

              Kevin this is really a fantastic take on the characters and also it has your unique signature and style written all over it in the best possible way. There is something so charming and yet haunting about each of them and I could easily see them as illustrations inside the book itself. Outstanding work here!

                @evilrobot @audrey-dowling Thank you William and Audrey! - really appreciate the kind words! I think the Scarecrow and Lion stand out a bit too 🙂
                @Rich-Green Rich, i cannot tell you what a huge compliment it is to me to hear that the drawings are coming across as charming yet haunting! Thank you 🙂

                  They look like artist studio portraits and make a great set. I used the book/stories as inspiration instead of the movie. Hoping I can stay up for it Thursday night to see/hear live. 😉

                    @Lisa-M-Griffin Thank you Lisa! I look forward to seeing your finished piece. I noticed your one eyed Wicked Witch with her umbrella and knew you were following the book too. Love your flying monkey!

                        Thanks Kevin.
                        Like you mentioned with your artwork, mine has a few subtle nods to the book. It's good to hear that you recognized a few. 🙂

                          Simply awesome. Full of style and personality, very strong characters and unique rendering. One thought that struck me is that you seem to have hold back a lot from rendering Dorothy: compared to the other characters, her face is a lot more stylized and simplified. Seeing it side-by-side with the lion, she looks a little flat. It's a beautiful portrait and full of personality, so it stands by itself - I am just not sure if it fits perfectly with the other characters.
                          Anyhow, awesome work and really inspiring!

                            Brilliant work @Kevin-Longueil - I agree with all the other glowing comments. It's a wonderful set of portraits, very unique and individual. My favourite is the scarecrow, but all are beautifully finished in your own style. Great stuff!
