I wondered what my version of the Wicked Witch of the West would look like. I read a few of the Oz books as a child and watched every version of the stories I could find (my favourite being the 1982 Japanese animation).
My version of the Witch is heavily influenced by W.W. Denslow's wonderful illustrations. I love the 'tough old pirate granny' look he gave her. It reminds of Captain Dola from Hayao Miyazaki's Laputa: Castle in the Sky.
