My gosh this picture just makes me so happy. :3 Wicked really does deserve more fanart and the exspressions-
Gee so humorous! I'm loving Glinda here. I guess the word i'm looking for to describe this is..wimsical. Yep yep. And the background with Oz and the twister is a great add.*fav*

After reading Wicked, I have decided to never watch the Wizard of Oz again. It would only make me cry more. It's not fair that Elphie died...

Haha! "Questionable sources". . .I love that line. I admit I saw the play the same way. . .but then I broke down and bought tickets to it anyway.
But, well, I have you to thank! When I first saw this picture get a Mod's Choice over at Elfwood, I wasn't interested in either the play or the book. But this pic got me curious. I read the book, I "saw" the play. . .and now, thanks to you, I am a fanatic!
This is a wonderful picture. There are so few "excellent" quality Wicked fanarts out there, and this is among the best of the few. I am so happy to have found it here on DA, so now I can fav it!
Thank you for making me a Wicked fan, and thank you for making my day a little happier!

Ah! I LOVE WICKED! I tried to get an avatar that had Elphaba on it, but didn't have the patience to do so. Do you like the musical? I think the musical is one of my favorite Broadway musicals of all time. My favorite song is "Defying Gravity." Anyway... it's nice to know a fellow Wicked Fan!

It does make you snap doesn't it? It's like... 3 yeras old, FAVORITE MOVIE EVER! So you watch it until you know everything by heart. Then you find the book and are like... wha? Elphaba... hmmm. Then you see the show, and you are like I STUFF!
I am hoping to get the new novel Son of a Witch...... but I am lazy!
Nicely done!

Looks great! I've been an oz fan since I was 3 as well...I didn't want to read wicked in fear that it would spoile the movie for me but I read it last year and loved it. Over the summer I saw the musical in Chicago and I'm now a HUGE wicked fan! Love the drawing it's very pretty

I love it... I LOVE IT! Seriously.... The details are wonderful, the colors are luffly, and the pose the two are in is simply delightful! I hope you enjoyed the book as much as I did... apparently so since you were inspired to draw this. I prefer the novel over the musical, personally... but, whatever floats your goat.
You're a great artist. I can't wait to see more!

Thanks! I do prefer the book, actually, but the musical... gah, it cries out to me in the night. "Animate meeee... I'd be greeeat!"
I'm hoping to get into an illustration project for the book, though, soon as I can do it without feeling terribly guilty about not using my time for Actual Deadlines

It would be a great animated feature! Well... the musical would. They are apparently doing a live action film of the musical. Pah. Film makers nowadays... they're not as creative or original as they used to be. An illustration project for Wicked would be quite enjoyable though! ^^ You should take it on! As a side thing or something!
And I can secretly make plans for a film based on the book rather than the show... *rubs hands together and looks around slyly*
