Artist's Comments

-full view please :) -

So, I just finished reading Wicked by the wonderful Gregory Maguire, and... OH MY GOD. What an excellent book. I'm pretty picky when it comes to literature (as opposed to, say, television, where all tripe is fair game), and this definitely passed the test.

Anyway, I just -needed- to do fanart. I had to. So, when I finally got a break from a hellish week of art school, it was time to, um, make art. Yaaay.

Here are Elphaba (looking rightfully bored), Glinda (looking upity), Boq (looking, uh...?), Fiyero (chatting to a Wolf in pants), and someone's hand. I hope it's Crope's. All in an oddly empty eating establishment of sorts (read: everytime I drew another table it looked rather horrible.)

I've never seen the musical, and knew extremely little about it and the book before reading. After looking up on it after finishing the novel, I gotta say, it's so sugarcoated. :lol: Bring on the depressing, dammit ;) Anyway, how do you guys think they compare?

(please note that this still means I WANT TO SEE THE MUSICAL ever so badly, I'm just a dark person :nod: )

Lovely musical.

The ending to the book wasn't that great. What's your opinion on it?

So awesome. I heart Elphie. I love that book so much. Have you taken a peek at the second one? Son Of A Witch, I have it but I haven't read it yet.

"I went into the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life... to put to rout all that was not life; and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."

I love Neil Perry.

I wish my friend hadn't borrowed my book. I'm probably not going to see it again for a very long time.
Still, it's good to know it's a book worth my time of reading :D And this picture is just great. I love the little details in the background of the artwork on the ceiling and such. :) Very good job.

The suspense is terrible!...I hope it'll last.

I've heard a bit of the music, and it's really beautiful. I also love that Idina plays Elphaba. That's just wonderful :)

I was actually okay with the ending to the book. I think there could have been a bit more revisited, and some of the characters were just sort of left hanging, but as much I love Elphie, I think she needed to die. Wow, that sounds worse when I type it...
