Singular Sensation: Scraps the Patchwork Girl of Oz

This is the first entry in a series of posts I plan on doing for this site that will showcase individual pieces of artwork that are used in larger pieces of work.  Some of the pieces I work on are created in a collage-like manner.  Creating work in that way allows me options in placement and makes doing things like special effects a lot easier.  However, sometimes, the entire drawing doesn't always get showcased, or is showcased at a size that doesn't fully show off all the detail put into it.

This first "singular sensation" is to show off the full rendering of the Patchwork Girl illustration that I created for the title of this site.  Now, all the different patterns and colors used in composing Scraps can be seen, all the way down to her shoes.  Scraps is my favorite character from the Oz books.  I felt that her colorful look and personality was the perfect central face for the first image that shows up on this site.

Pictured in this piece from left to right are:  a Boar Guard (from the Russian Oz Series), the Witched Wick (an original character to a story in the issue), Bastinda (the Russian series Wicked Witch of the West), Polychrome the Rainbow's Daughter, Bungle the Glass Cat, The Wizard of Oz, Yurgod the Gryphon (from the Russian series), Princess Ozma of Oz, and a Rain Sprite (an original character from a story in the issue)
