Artist's Comments

It's Elphie! I love this picture from my Wicked: The Grimmerie book and I decided to try it out. I was a cheat and traced some major shapes like the outline of her hat, and eyes, nose, that sort of thing, the big facial features, but the rest I did my own.

There's actually quite a story behind this. My dog almost died as a result of this picture. I needed a light to draw it in the living room and the dog bit down on the cord, getting it lodged in her canine tooth and actually was dead for two minutes. Mom pounded on her heart while I did "mouth-to-snout" and she came back to us, the miracle puppy! Poor girl!

Oh my! Poor puppy! :petting: Glad she's okay!

And this looks really great, the picture it's based on is really neat and you did a great job capturing that. (by the by I'm seeing Wicked for the first time this Saturday... I'm so stoked! :excited: )
