2011 and Still going...

First we'll begin with the main characters. These are vector-based illustration of the main characters: Tin Man, Dorothy, Lion and Scarecrow.

This illustration is a deconstructed version of what is known to be the cover of issue 1.

I was debating on the final cover of issue 3 should be. This on flunked because the design was too similar to issue 2.

This is a promo for issue 3. Set to release fairly soon. As of now we are waiting on the print process to go through. But why not give a little teaser...

Woe is Oz Issue 3. Coming really really soon!

Hi everyone. My name is Kelly Brown. I am the comic book artist for Woe is Oz. Below is brief process the entire production of the first comic book.

Take a look:

I started off with character designs. Most of the character concepts were developed by Ethan. Then from there, I came up with sketches for the character designs. These were all sketched out in ball point pen.

After the character designs were done, I moved to pencils:

After the pencils were tighten, they were inked in a 10x15 by format:

After the inking process was done, I took each page into Adobe Illustrator and colored everything with the pen tool:

Each page was prepped for lettering by setting guidelines for the word bubbles:
