Description
Working on some steampunk-esque reimaginings of Wizard of Oz characters for a small group of friends and myself. Mostly it's an excuse to build a rediculous robot costume, but when we started with that discussion, I realized how fun it would be to theme it as more of a take on the Tin Woodsman, and now we're running with that theme.This is what I'm working on for myself: the Dandy Lion. I wanted it to be largely based on pictures I've seen of Oscar Wilde. I also got the image in my head of a tan bowler with a crown set in place of a ribbon, and ran with that. Other designs should be forthcoming, but this is the first.

Hello - I am wondering / inquiring if you would consider to draw a dandylion (type) drawing for my dandylion wine that I produce. I just produce about 4-6 bottles for fun and also for a local wine competition. so ideally it would be a simple wine bottle label.
I have 2 dandylion wines - with wood tannin and without. the wood tannin would be the dandylion character. the other I have just a dandylion flower. mAybe you would consider letting me use this image of the "dandy lion" for my label?
cheers !

I'd consider taking this as a commission, sure. Email me at lucas@lucasryanimated.com with more information about what you would like, and we can talk about what that would cost.

I saw a dandy lion
On my garden path today,
chatting to some buttercups
to pass the time of day.
'Good evening ladies, how are you?
Oh really? Well I say!'
Then with a bow he tipped his hat
And ambled on his way.

This is great, I love how it's a play on the lyric in the Lion's song.

The title made me laugh harder than was probably warranted. XD Excellent fellow there!

Oh man, for a few minutes there I thought it was something from the Dandelion children's book. Either way, fun design!

I hadn't heard of the book. Looks like we went in similar directions though. Thanks for the heads-up!

This is great! I love the concept and your thought process behind it. The play on words for the name is most fitting. Steam Punk WoZ? Sounds pretty...interesting. Keep at it!

Thank you, I will! Hoping to do some takes on the Steam Woodsman over the weekend.
