Hello everyone. It has been a little while.
I have been a little overwhelmed lately but work and the world. But I am approaching a period of time where I am getting back to comics and startin...

As is swiftly becoming a tradition, my brother and I write each other short horror stories as Christmas presents to each other.
Last year, I wrote this one - 2025-12-27 00:09:03 +0000 UTC View Post

It feels a little unfair posting these as not nearly enough time was done getting them right, but here are some designs for Mombi and the Wizard by

Finally, some designs for Mombi's cottage. She was going to be the true BIG BAD of Season 1, not the Wicked Witch of the West. But we were gonna make her a bit of a twist villain, seeming at first ...

And here are some designs for the Emerald City, with a cheeky statue of Ozma.
While the series was going to follow the plot of the books closely, we were intending to merge the plots and even...

On the West of Oz is Winkie, a barren and desert-like country which was once prosperous and lush. That was until the Wicked Witch of the West took up residence and cast a spell to create an endless...

Our take on Oz was that I wanted it to feel real. The books are certainly fantastical, but it is not a DREAM world. It's a place. A long-lost kingdom on Earth where magic still exists. And so we wa...

Now, let's move onto some concept art for the WORLD of Oz.
Right from the off, I needed to figure out a way to make the Emerald City as huge and impressive and GREEN as people want it to be, ...

Toto was again quite an easy process because we loved his initial design. Our brief was "the scrappiest farm dog ever" so we really wanted to emphasise a slightly mangey, goofy expression.

The Lion by far was the hardest character for everyone to agree on and I am sure we drove Fabien crazy. None of the executives could agree and he is the only character who is straight up just an an...

These designs also came together very quickly, as I was pleased with the first attempts.
Our key note for the Tin Woodman was "sexy". He was meant to be a big gruff Rugby Player with a soft ...

Let's start with Dorothy herself. During most of development, the show was called "Dorothy Gale and the Wonderful Wizard of Oz" (a mouthful) but we eventually wanted to simply call it "Dorothy". 2025-12-02 14:00:12 +0000 UTC View Post
Idk.
I started out thinking it might be fun just to recreate the movie poster for Wicked but with book accurate designs and then kept going and committed to the bit. This is my idea for what ...
