Full page, details and creation process of my fully watercolour and thinliner anticipative graphic-novel.

In the previous page, Devlok speeds up through the immense pipes and sections of the abandonned SyntheBioGenesioGenomic complex and finally reaches the room he was heading to.

If you don't know, "Devlok, the Techno-Templar" is a 54 pages illustrated story I wrote and produced between 2016 and 2017 in Berlin. I self-published it through two volumes (European format - Soft cover) comprising more short stories and art.

Process.

Story-board, rough as usual but this time I haven't changed much except the way the keyboard looks like and the silo's structure itself. It's not specially realistic (in the way that it is supposed to be a "human" constructed while it looks more alienish) which is great because I like to draw what I want =)

After having prepared the paper (watered and dried up over a light wood board), I did the panel outlines and started to sketch.

Painting.

That is almost it ...

... if you compare with the final page, you might see that I have made the blue of the pods a bit smoother on the sides and that I increased the tones of some zones, like those filaments that run from the ground to somewhere. I also finalized with white gouache and pens.

Very last step (besides the texts and gutter cleaning) was the loading bar and the text with Photoshop in the loading monitor.
