Introduction description

A gold-edged threshold develops against a dark stage. Complete original artwork appears in order for Pretty Little Lucy, Trust/Fall, Eastern State, The Shadow of the Deadman’s Daughter, Steel Pride, and The Lady and the Lantern.

Light, shadow and the surrounding stage connect the compositions without animating their characters. The DDubbs Wicked Creations identity resolves with the tagline: Original stories. Unforgettable worlds.

An instrumental motif accompanies the imagery when sound is enabled; there is no spoken dialogue. The introduction then gives way to the homepage. Viewing the introduction is optional.
