Rejected Oz Lion.

I started doing the designs for my personal Wizard of Oz character design project with the thought - "What if these were made for a game?" So I wanted each of the characters to be a little darker and more fierce in nature. Holding weapons and whatnot.

My first passes at the designs weren't as successful as I had hoped, so I scraped the Game design idea and just started designing them as if they were made for some darker animated film project.

I'm currently working on a concept for the "flying monkeys" - nearly finished.
