Description
"Wicked" is a fairly amazing musical. The book it came from is harsh but an engaging twist on the Oz story from the perspective of the witches.This image was a concept sketch I did entirely in photoshop based on Elphaba's (wicked witch of the west) first broom flight.

The way you captured Elphaba's absolute joy in this moment shows a rare and remarkable talent as an artist. I am a big Wicked fan and have seen thousands of photos and artwork inspired by the play, but this is an image that is burned in my memory. I love it!!!

Okay, I think part of what made Elphaba an easy target for hate was her fashion sense. Black is not a color to associate yourself with if you want to be seen as a heroine.

But green clashes with almost everything but black
