It’s the squad! Dorothy Gale, Princess Ozma, and Polychrome.
A quick doodle to work out character designs for a set of kid books I wanna make about the friends of dorothy (yes that is intentional) that talks about loving people who are a little different than your normal kansas girl.
Oz has a lot of openings for that, as (for it’s time) it was very progressive. The author was a staunch feminist and the books reflect that, always featuring strong girls having adventures and ruling. Ozma is canonly trans (tho obviously in a very different but also weirdly NOT way), love is for your friends, kindness to all is what wins.
(He also has some really REALLY bad takes on indigenous people, just…fyi. He was still a rich-ish white guy in the 1800s, alas.)
The first one I’m making is for my beloved Polychrome who can’t focus on anything, can’t handle weird textures in food or clothes, wanders away to dance when she can’t focus, and falls apart when her routine is broken. Ethereal rainbow fairy princesses can sometimes be autistic too.
After that I want to explore chronic illness with Jack Pumpkinhead. While Jack can start out good, as the month goes on his pumpkin starts to rot, and he must take it easy until he can spoon out a new one.
Anyway, all of this cane up because of a behind the bastard episode about how the digital market for kids books is being diluted with cheap AI books that are screwing up kids abilities to learn how to read subtext in a story between what the text says and the image shows. In a normal picture book they come together to provide a complete story….in AI books they’re distantly related non-sense that’s screwing kids up
So I figure….I can’t do worse than that, right?

hey. hey you. wanna see my betsy bobbin and polychrome designs? of course you do
color ref. i love doing polly's hair cloudy with little rainbows in it instead of being completely saturated! i'll probably finish coloring this later but im tired of working on it (photos app crashes every few times i try to color)
gross doodles i thought too much about and made worse. oh well
hcs and additions:
rrrrhhrgrg imagine.... artist betsy and muse polly..........
i mean, come on. they're great. we've got the perfect couple with dozens, but what about the pining? the star-crossed lovers? polychrome having to return to her father/the rainbow/the sky and betsy pining in the meantime?? betsy hanging out with dorothy so they can talk about their fairy girlfriends??? do you see my vision!!!!!!
and yes they're aged up. for my purposes most of my oz hcs are post-canon. i adopt the thompson tradition of optional aging most of the time, since it's convenient, but idk. do what you want. it's oz.
yeah. this is all based on about six passages from tik-tok of oz. what are you gonna do about it?
also i wrote a fic about them once and it's still one of my favorites
betsy's probably bisexual, polly's a rainbow fairy. take that as you will. also, i know, controversial pale polychrome design, but consider: inhumanly pale skin. basically, she's translucent. barely even made of flesh

For #GuineaPigAppreciationDay, here are two Chimú polychrome effigy vessels in the form of guinea pigs, North Coast Peru, 1100-1400 CE, now in the Museo de América Madrid collection. Both feature split-color black and white faces so there are three views of each.

The Road to Oz is the gayest of the early books and here’s why
The famous kissing scene.
Dorothy having a gay crisis moment watching Ozma and Polychrome interact.
The Scarecrow and Tin Woodman leaning on one another for support like an old married couple.
The Scarecrow and Tin Woodman staring at each other during the toast, making them the only people there who aren’t looking at Ozma.
Ozma using her own birthday party as a chance to solidify Dorothy’s royal title and place by her side.
In conclusion, The Road to Oz can best be summed up like this:

I happened to find the requested purple star recolor and just one other (sea creatures) in my files. Sorry it’s only a partial find! I’ve reuploaded it here: http://www.simfileshare.net/download/3897222/
(Also I have no idea what the original file names were as I pulled these out of a bundle I made ages ago. I’m not much of an archivist I’m afraid)
Hello tenlittlepandas! Thank you so much! Hopefully anon sees this :-D
