WB Marketing Art, Dorothy and Toto, THE WIZARD OF OZ.

Okay... This is the final art for a series of WOZ collector's plates.
The series was originally an assignment for renowned artist, DAVID EDWARD BYRD, but I was enlisted to assist him by rendering full pencil drawings which he then translated to color (mixed media), and provided backgrounds. So, this was a COLLABORATION.

I was deeply honored to work with David, whom I always referred to as The ByrdMan. He has a very laid-back way about him, much like a charmingly funny hippie.

Unfortunately, I only retained a copy of the pencil art I did for the Dorothy plate, for which I received a Daily Deviation notice recently:

You can compare the final with the preliminary I provided if you wish. I've long resisted posting this art at all, because the bulk of the work was done by another artist. However, I decided there was some educational value in exhibiting this as an example of how two professionals can effectively team up, and I've been continually reminded how much the kids here love to see things colored! LOL! So, here ya go, even if I didn't do it.

The discerning eye will be able to detect certain differences between my drawing and this one. These were eidtorial changes, but they're quite subtle. I cannot say that I agreed with the changes, but everyone here is entitled to their own subjective opinion.

Enjoy!

>w< These plates are beautiful! I will shortly be faving several of them, but I would like to site why:

1) The details are amazing. Dorothy's shoes actually look like they're glistening. The trees in the background of the Tin Man's plate--and even the Cowardly Lion's plate--have texture. Each stalk of corn in Scarecrow's is discernible. I'm thoroughly blown away.

2) The accuracy. Everyone looks like themselves. And finally...

3) The color. These burst with vibrancy completely befitting the MGM classic.

This is really great. I like all the details and the work is so very clean.
Nice work indeed. I also checked out the DD. Very nice work.

I also got a DD for my Wizard of Oz thesis. Being you so talented artist, I would like to invite you to see, if you are not too busy.
