Of course, what would the story of Aladdin be without the antagonist. In the Disney movie, you know this character as "Jafar", but my interpretation of this role was nothing like "Jafar".
Christopher Lee was chosen as the inspiration for the sorcerer character, mainly due to him being the evil wizard from Peter Jackson's The Fellowship of the Ring. Eventually, the character worked out to become this:
To juxtapose the skinny but tall Aladdin character, Evil Sorcerer Lee was made squat but with a huge head to match his ego. As it turned out, I was having a lot more fun drawing the sorcerer than I was drawing Aladdin, so I decided to focus a bit more on him for the assignment.

The sorcerer has a number of "spells" at his disposal: all of which are various computer viruses named after snakes. (All of them were coded in "Python", BTW. :P)
