Sketchies!

[secondlina]

 Before drawing a comic, you have to practice drawing the characters. To make sure you get them right and that they actually look like themselves from panel to panel. Today, I practiced drawing Warrick, everyone's favorite Wicked Warlock of the West. He's a bit of a geek with a slim body and a very expressive face. So I tried to push that. His clothing is a large black cloak with "feathers" on the shoulders. The cloak is kindoff "alive". It can protect it's wearer and also allow the wearer to fly. It's a canon Oz extended universe item and a major plot aid several times.







I think he's very cute looking. I like how his face really works with several different expressions.

Again, I seem to be more in a fanart/sketch mood then a funny comic mood. I think it's because my live is very routine-y right now. Go to work, go home, draw, chores, sleep. It's harder to find non-fandom joke ideas when the universe isn't throwing them at you. I'm going to the Sherbrooke subway station tomorrow. Maybe i'll meet the street wiseman again. Maybe he'll have advice for me once more!

Heh. I'm low on comic ideas but my character sketching is REALLY improving. 

I'm a little sad. The weather was nice so all the tulips popped out. And then in snowed. I hope they survived. :( 

Live purple tulips! Live!!!!!

Is the cloak based on the one from The Gnome King of Oz?

Not really, though it did have an influence. Only the books actually written by Baum are public domain, so as much as I love Ruth's books, I stayed clear of them. The cloak is actually the cloak from Queen Xiyi of Ix, another Baum book that actually crosses over to Oz (mainly, the fairy forest of Burzee).

Ah, yes. The magic cloak made by Queen Lulea's fairy band.

Bingo, that's the one.
