Oz Squad Silohuette
This illustration was done for link to Oz Squad on the page I put together on the Comics of Oz; that is, comics that either adapted or continued the Oz stories. That page is sorely in need of updating.
The Scarecrow
This sketch of the Scarecrow was done primarily so I’d have a full figure version of the character to put with the development sketches I posted on the Oz Squad Sketch Page.
Nick Chopper
Nick Chopper in all his sketchy glory. This one was done while I was getting used to drawing the Oz Squad characters prior to starting the first, aborted, black and white relaunch in 2004.
Tik-Tok
Tik-Tok went crazy in the first issue of Oz Squad. Well, not crazy exactly, his morality spring ran down and he made bad choices.
This sketch was done as part of the process of refamiliarizing myself with the Oz characters and deciding which ones I wanted to do portraits of for the Oz Squad Who’s Who page. I ultimately decided not to draw a Tik-Tok for the page because I didn’t know what had happened to character since the series ended in the nineties.
The Lion
A version of the Cowardly Lion as he can appear on Earth and the Lion as he appears normally. I’m not sure who the craggy nosed creature is. Mombi perhaps.
Sketching the Squad
Various Ozian celebrities sketched in preparation for my current pass at Oz Squad.
Naked Buffy
That title is going to do wonders for my traffic. Wrong Buffy though. The Buffy on this page, Buffy Crawfield, has been in my head (and in minicomics) since 1989. The vampire slayer didn’t start staking until 1992.
The face in the upper right might belong to Marta Honeydiver. If so it’s a lousy likeness.
Detritus is barely visible to the right of Buffy.
Lili is at the bottom left with the long hair.
Lazy Sunday
Back home after a trip to Portland and seeing old friends. You know, the sort of friends you’ve known for more than half your life who remember you when you were young and skinny and could out drink a fish.
Today’s plans involve sketches for an upcoming book, laying around and having a friend over for dinner and a movie.
Don’t Tease the Children of Yig
The last four spot illustrations for Worlds of Cthulhu #2.
No post tomorrow. Nizzibet and I are driving down to Portland tonight and hanging out with some old friends this evening and Saturday.
