Princess Ozma Tippetarius of Oz

At long last, this is finished. It's been about a month in the making. I'd hoped to finish it up in time for Ozma's birthday on August 21st. I'm not a huge Oz fan, but I am a huge vintage illustration fan, and John R Neill's original illustrations are gorgeous. Ozma is about as art nouveau as you can possibly get. I agonized a bit over the hair color--in the books she's described as blonde, but in the art, she's a brunette. The dark hair ended up being more compositionally effective. These are the sort of things that keep me up at night.
