this design is an amalgamation based on a number of adapted versions of the Scarecrow from the Magic Land series, primarily animated versions and Leonid Vladimirsky's illustrations.
He’s so happy when scarecrow is mentioned, he literally jumps up and yells his name running out to him. not to mention scarecrow JUMPS into his arms and wiggles his legs ever so happily! They’re so gay.
ok i opted out of the ai bullshit, but I'm still not sure about it being legit. I'm breaking my promise of no more art here just bc i really want to share this little thing i made
this guy was (still is) one of my favorites in the magic land book series
