Description The second illustration I did for the forthcoming Wizard of Oz based CCG, release by Orion's Bell [link] Crack open those piggy banks, it's time to purchase some starter packs.

"...Oz had taken the shape of a most terrible Beast. It was nearly as big as an elephant, and the green throne seemed hardly strong enough to hold its weight. The Beast had a head like that of a rhinoceros, only there were five eyes in its face. There were five long arms growing out of its body, and it also had five long, slim legs. Thick, woolly hair covered every part of it, and a more dreadful-looking monster could not be imagined."
-L. Frank Baum, The Wizard of Oz

Sphenacodon In reply to ??? [2008-09-29 10:32:48 +0000 UTC]

Amazing! The details, pose, and multiple jewel-like eyes are spot-on. It's just the sort of thing the Wizard - being the supreme showman he is - would want to appear as.

This is a good one. I really like the perspective here and details of chair and furr. Not too many legs and arms ?

It's very cool! But I don't think it's very dreadful-looking compared to your previous one.

Fair enough. It certainly scared the Tinman, though.
