Looking back on the trailer for Green Lantern that came out at last month, a lot of the focus was put on how bad the CGI suit looks, but not enough attention was paid to the rest of the graphics. The shots taking place in space or on the planet Oa are actually beautifully rendered, meaning that there's hope yet for all of the CGI elements in the film. This idea extends to the alien characters as well. We've already seen Kilowog, Sinestro, and Tomar-Re, and now new storyboards uncovered by CBM appear to give us a glimpse at both Krona and Parallax.

For those unfamiliar with the two characters, Parallax, who we have been told will be the film's main villain, is the embodiment of fear who travels from travels from planet to planet causing mass destruction, and Krona is an Oan scientist who, after after building a machine to view the origins of the universe, accidentally creates an infinite number of parallel universes and is punished by being transformed into pure energy and banished from their world. Check out two of the three storyboards below and head over to CBM where they have a third on display.
