Ｔhe Katurran Odyssey is a remarkable visual achievement, filled with spectacle, fantasy and wonder on every page. This epic tale of faith, hope and selfless heroism is illuminated by the stunning illustrations of Terryl Whitlatch, the principal creature designer for the Star Wars prequels, and is brought to dynamic life by the storytelling of screenwriter and author David Michael Wieger.
sBq(h|V)uu mW!S4l W,fkAG,yX2S-XTN
The story is set on Bo-hibba, an enchanting island in a faraway time and place that is populated by animals who are at once fantastic and startlingly real. The island's survival is threatened by the Long Winter, and not even the High Priest's ancient Ceremony of Renewal can put an end to the suffering from the hunger and the cold.
9\-wm/D0wWo8C NRiNMm!g4L
Katook is a small but courageous young lemur who lives in the village of Kattakuk. He dares to enter a forbidden area on the island and witnesses a shocking secret; the outraged priests banish him from the island forever. Forced to journey across the vast sea in search of a new home, Katook encounters great perils and marvels on his quest, and undergoes profound tests of trust and friendship. At last, he finds the place where the secret of the Long Winter is revealed, and where he must summon all of his courage to confront his greatest fear if he is to save his family and his home. Life is forever changed on Bo-hibba...

Like such classic works of fantasy as Tolkein's Lord of the Rings, Rien Poortvliet's Gnomes, C. S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia, Brian Jacques's Redwall series, and Brian Froud's Faeries,The Katurran Odyssey creates a mythic world imbued with beauty, adventure and transcendent imagination. It is a world that is different from our own - yet universal and amazingly real. [1j$idW3f

Stephanie Lostimolo is one of the premier digital colorists in the US and a veteran of George Lucas's JAK Films Art Department, where she worked with the core creative team as an artist and colorist on Star Wars: Episode III.
:d*o ~K}2`_*~#A N
+f$d Z-W/Mj Raised by a nature lover and an engineer, Stephanie has always been fascinated by things both colorful and technical, tinkering with primitive digital paint programs since she was twelve years old. Both her goals and the technology evolved considerably over the next ten years as she aggressively honed her artistic and computer skills.
`L1R/O ]8EP/R
2@a-h+UW'kV In 2001 during production of "The Wildlife of Star Wars" by Star Wars Concept Artist Terryl Whitlatch, Stephanie was asked to join Terryl as a colorist on the book. In the fall of 2003, at the encouragement of Terryl, Imaginosis President Robert Gould asked Stephanie to join the art team on Terryl's latest book, "The Katurran Odyssey" as a digital colorist. As this method of coloring was new to Terryl who traditionally used designer markers, Stephanie provided her with invaluable personal instruction on the fundamentals of the digital coloring process and techniques using Photoshop. Working together with exceptional creativity and rapport, Terryl and Stephanie's resultant color work brings the world of The Katurran Odyssey to vivid life and establishes a new standard for digital coloring of illustrated books. As a valued member of the creative team at Imaginosis, Stephanie will be contributing to future Katurran projects as well as developing and producing projects of her own.^4pu |l

From earliest childhood, animals captured my imagination and heart. Due to my Grandfather, horses always played a dynamic part in my life. My parents took my sister and I on countless expeditions to the Zoo and natural history museums, and besides horses, an endless variety of pets--cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, lizards, the list goes on--paraded through my life.
4}Ij;|;i0@ tK
9wxq*f_M It's this love of, and fascination with, animals--the sheer artistry of their myriad forms, from the sublime to the humorous, their incredible design in beauty and anatomy down to the unique idiosyncratic personalities of each individual within any given species--that has forever transfixed and fired my imagination. ~yO(G0A6i
+CYx0Dw
Upon this foundation, I was tantalized by the creation of a world, in which animals interacted as peoples, where they lived, breathed, and had their being.
NyHE0wP
%m{ s;`1n,C)S M^ It would be a world much like this one, with ongoing histories of kingdoms and principalities, and of the humble, the proud, and the indifferent individuals therein. And all this world would be yet contained within, and dependent upon, a higher, infinitely transcendent, and personal Reality.
4Q&qT-XJ4v3c q\vn6xc;dd
I owe much to those who have gone before me, and whose legacies have had profound impact upon my life. All of them engaged in the construction of complex worlds and universes in which creatures of diverse forms interacted as a matter of course.
Q*W3}!? sw+y L9F4Uup5vde8Z
Early on, it was Beatrix Potter, in her rural England where Puddle-ducks conversed freely with rabbits and foxes. Dr. Suess's and Frank L. Baum's absurd worlds of Who-ville and Emerald Cities. Felix Salten and a young deer's biography of life in an European forest, who grasps the existence of God. Anna Sewell's Black Beauty, a horse who perseveres through harrowing trials, yet never loses faith in the Creator. 1H7l#[[0X3HK
~'g:D ](S*?Fhl|
And then, it was C.S. Lewis, his Narnia, and other writings. J.R.R. Tolkien, from the grandeur of Middle Earth to the gentle Leaf by Niggle. The fantastical novels of Charles Williams also made their impact. These three especially dealt in world-building, with solid foundations and histories, but also eternal futures, and cradled within a higher Spiritual Reality. uB"U+ZIe3E

从最早的孩童时期时，动物就占据了我的大脑和内心。由于我的祖父，马始终成为影响我生活的动力。我的父母带着姐姐和我去过数不尽的动物园和自然历史博物馆，除了马之外，动物照片上那些无尽的品种——猫、狗、兔子、鸟、蜥蜴等等，都曾在我的生活中存在过。
M6I#y-D7x~E yk3e,F!Wm j
随着对这些动物的爱和迷恋——它们那无尽纯粹的艺术气质，从严肃到幽默，任何种类中的每一个个体都有着令人难以置信的独特构造和独一无二的特殊性格。那些已经永远的贯穿和燃烧于我的想象空间中。q:Yk'X.W*kA
