Storyboard T0-2

Now, these are all cut down in size severely, to save your download time (and also so, when you get the book, you'll go "Wow! That's better than anything I ever saw on the internet!"), but essentially this is One Panel's (brief) Trip from Storyboard to Comic Art.

Greg roughed out the storyboards for Chapter 2 round about June. This is part of the scene where Dorothy first meets TO-2, that doggy wonder.

The photo shoot took place in July, back when we thought Catie would be heading for the Army real soon. The TO-2 model is a real prop.

Issue 2 features a lot more color and background detail than #1, just due to the nature of Oz. Greg's using a combination of Macro-photography and digital manipulation to get the effects he wants. I'm using tequila with a root beer chaser. Again, I apologize for the low resolution here, but I know you're going to like the print version.

Lost Page

Known in certain secret societies as Ruby Quelala, the Phantom Page Thirteen was planned as part of the "tension mounts" middle section of Dorothy , Chapter II: LOST. For reasons unknown to both man and science, this page never made it into final production and instead haunts the dreams of renegade priests and naive magicians to this day. Here, in our first DVD supplemental feature on the Official Dorothy Creators' Journal , we present the original storyboard of that deleted page, context-free so as to titillate your imaginations...

Transformation

How do we transform calmly serene 18 year-old Catie Fisher of Tucson, AZ into the roughly tumbling 16 year-old Dorothy Gale of OZ ? We cheat.

From the July, 2004 photo shoot. Note the roof beams and generally static atmosphere of Reality. Blahsville, right? The lines of makeup act as a "guide" for later manipulations....

Not Final Art, as they say, but dig what some color and pixels can do! It's an action scene all of a sudden, and no one was harmed. No one was even off balance. We have sooo many tricks to show you, my friends...

Temple

Dark halls of the evil queen, gothic inspired, modeled after the real thing, yes... 6,669 miles East of here.

Based on the vision in this thumbnail, we carefully choose the perfect structures to base our model on. After meticulous recreation, the following renders await to be populated and added to the final pages of Chapter 1.

Then finally we see the throne room in all of its glory:
