I haven't done one of these "chain-jorunal-tagging" posts in several years, but I HAD to do this one.
I was tagged by TheRandomAnchovy!! Thanks ^o^

1. Elinor Davidson

WOW I haven't drawn this baby in over a year... almost two years! Gosh... I know what I need to do now haha
Elinor is a bit of a grumpy-gal, very sure of herself, and very spoiled. Over the course of her story (I won't say much) she gradually becomes more, well, decent!
I would cast Chloe Grace Moretz as Elinor because, one, she's an amazing actress and I know she would be able to pull it off, and two, because she's the exact age as Elinor and resembles her slightly.

2. Kohi White

MY BABYYYY AHHH!! I really need to get around to working with her story again... I just love her too much to leave her sitting in the corner baking and cooking or whatever. Basically Kohi is the owner of a coffee shop and she happens to be a witch. She imbues her coffee with magic to make the people who drink it happier and give them better lives/good luck. When her mother becomes the headmistress of a Witch's school in the Witch World, Kohi moves there to teach them baking and pasty-making. She has a very difficult trio to take care of, and her two faerie assistants don't help much... :XD:
I would cast Lily Collins as my dear Kohi because, WHY NOT?! I feel like Lily would be so perfect as Kohi, and Lily's voice is exactly what I imagine Kohi's to sound like. Given, Kohi is from France, but languages don't matter to Witches .3.

3. Dahlia

WOW all ladies huh? (Dahlia is the one with the brown shark tail)
Dahlia is a very cunning and powerful "loan shark" per-say, and is sort of like the mob-boss of the sea. I feel like, contrary to how the sea witch is usually portrayed, Dahlia would not be wicked but just very good at making deals. If she doesn't get her fair share of the deal, she'll send her repo men after you.
I would cast Danai Gurira as Dahlia. Danai is such an incredible actress and I feel like she would be the only person able to portray her. I imagine Dahlia to have her sweet and honey-like voice, as well as her razor-sharp eyes. And it does help that I had her in mind while designing her~

4. Dorothy L. Gale

How can I not do her?? The Oz comic is like my biggest project and though she technically isn't an o.c. per say, I did design her character and give her a character. In the original novel she was very one-dimensional, without much of a personality tbh
Dorothy is not a perfect girl- she's very sassy and witty, and clever, but also very kind-hearted and sweet. At the beginning of the comic she's very much a normal little girl, but after enduring enslavement under The Wicked Witch of the West she becomes a little bit more mature and serious.
I would probably cast a young Natalie Portman as Dorothy, as she was in Léon: The Professional. Not just because of the look, but that does help ;p I really love the determination that Natalie shows in that particular film, and her will to live. I feel like Natalie's attitude in that film coupled with Dorothy's endearment would make her the perfect actress.
  Look at that sass~ So perfect for Dorothy <3

I'm sorry if you don't want to be tagged, but I'm going to tag some of my best friends here on DA:
