Digitalis The Grphic Novel
The creation process of an image in Digitalis – The Graphic Novel
Digitalis The Grphic Novel

1. The initial drawing of the scene is pencilled on paper, immense levels of detail are input at this stage, providing the nucleus of the image.

2. With the pencilled drawing complete, the image is scanned into a computer. One layer of grey scaling is applied to the entire image to form the basis of the shading stage.

3. Focusing solely on the Consumer (character on the right), shading is applied to add depth to the image of his body. Notice the points of the Consumer’s body that have been shaded slightly lighter than the rest - such as the right fist, so as to stand out from the rest of the body, clearly impacting the viewers gaze. The chip on the Consumer's hand can be seen by the discerning viewer.

4. The head of the Consumer is now shaded in comparable detail to that of the body. The hair, cheeks, neck and facial features are all appropriately darkened to increase the sense of intensity of the Consumer’s actions (and emotions). Finally the telephoto lens-like eyes of the Consumer are blackened to complete the look.

5. The Image of the One-eyed King is now the centre of attention, it is shaded all over in a slightly darker grey than the base grey colour, to stand out from the background.

6. The shading to depict the shadow on the body and inside the cape of the One-eyed King, are applied. The view screen showing the action within the room is also appropriately shaded bringing it out from the background, and into the viewer’s attention.

7. Finally unnecessary lines are removed, and the motion of the Consumer’s punch is emphasised by adding depth through further grey scaling.
