So I get my fancy dinner... :D

Yes, I know, it has certainly been less than a drawing a day, you have permission to slap my hand and scold me all you want. However, I am presenting 3 images for your viewing pleasure today. Again we are continuing with the story of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

The first image is the landing site in Munchkinland. The goal of course was to get as much vibrant color in there as possible to contrast with the drab gray of Dorothy's house and home of Kansas, as well as her very faded dress.

This next image is of course Dorothy traveling the Yellow Brick Road. She follows the road through the farming area of Munchkinland, where the favorite color is blue, hence the blue farm fences.

I found myself struggling with the image of Dorothy and the Scarecrow meeting... I feel I need a few more thumbnails before I feel completely comfortable with that one. But here is Dorothy and her friend the Scarecrow, entering the woods where they will eventually meet the Tin Woodsman.

It's at this point where the tone of the movie turns a little more somber for a few beats, hence the colors are more subdued... plus, they are deep in the woods.

These were all done using Photoshop, a program I am much more comfortable with. Unfortunately, I also tend to get caught up in too much detail when using it. I hat to force myself to simplify. I think I could have done better with that LOL.

Well tomorrow we're heading off to visit the snow and try our hands at snow boarding. I am expecting to fall down a great deal number of times and to have a fabulous time doing it. So I will not be posting anything until probably Sunday or Tuesday. :)

Stay tuned for more adventures in Oz...

(Oh! And PS: I met the deadline, so I get a surprise fancy dinner somewhere.
Anyone care to venture a guess? I'll fill you guys in on the next posting.)
