Valentine's Day with The Tin Man

Hey everyone, remember when I did that pencil sketch of The Tin Man for my Wizard of Oz expiremental project? In honors of Valentine's Day, here's the process for this method starring the man with no heart. Photoshop, full underpainting, and first color/ink pass.

Wizard of Oz Sketches

I added text to the Tin Man sketches and finished up Scarecrow on my Wizard of Oz-themed hand typeface experiments. Hoping to paint these over the coming week.

I'm not sure how I want to handle Cowardly Lion. In every version except the classic movie, hes an actual lion and not a guy dressed up as a lion. I'll probably end up going the lion route, but part of me wants to play up the human angle and have him some freakishly terrified person who is wearing a plastic lion mask to scare people (which depending on how it was drawn, would either be psychologically disturbing or downright hilarious).
