Finally sat down and finished the last character(s) in my OZ series.

Officer Dorothy Gale has been through the most fantastic adventure in anyone life time. In her travels she has meet wondrous and magical people that have truly change and influenced her life. Now in her adult life, she tries to uphold the essence of her 3 companions (brains, heart and courage) and use them to bring balance in her job in law enforcement. One day, she rediscovers the glowing ruby slippers that had transported her to OZ and places them on her feet again. With her faithful dog, Munchy, Dorothy is instantly transported back to the yellow brick road only to discover that another dark shadow has fallen on OZ. When searching for her friends that brought back order to this fabled place once before, she finds 3 souls that have lost their way from the gifts they received long ago. Scarecrow, who now wonders the country side as a recluse, is so intelligent he is now withdrawn into himself. The Tin Man whose heart is so big is now overprotective an unable to love for the fear it will be broken. And lastly, the Lion, fearless and reckless. He cannot pass on any challenge and has truly turned wild.

Now it is up to Dorothy to bring her friends back together and show them their downfalls so they can find what has turned this extraordinary place into chaos once again.

So this is the story that had been floating in my head for a sequel to The Wizard of Oz. Feels good to finally get it out.

Cheers!

I’d say maybe 3 to 4 hours to complete an image, but I don’t do it in one session. I’m a picky person when it comes to my own pics and it’s probably not the greatest thing. I can get hung up on little details where I have to walk away an come back later to complete. Right now I find myself hesitant to start anything because of the time I know it will take me to finish. Take example, I want to create a “Dorothy” character to complete my little OZ concept that I had begun. I think I have sat down to start it about 10 times but never really got anything down. When I first discovered Heromachine, I was cranking out concepts frequently and having a blast. I have many characters under my belt and it just seems hard to get a fresh new concept out. I suffer from ” ANALYSIS PARALAYSIS”!!!

Russ? (Tau-rus)
T-bone?

Finally got my computer back and running again. It had a nagging flu. Will try to get something up soon. But first, I must go and see all the great pics and concepts that I have been missing out on.

Awesome concepts. You seem to be “blazing” through many characters lately. Great to see. These are all existing characters from the old forum, right?
