Divinity 1 page 2 Art Process

I dug the step by step that Danny Miki put together with Capullo and FCO on their Batman stuff. So I thought I would copy him and do that with Divinity issue 1 page 2.

So we start with a Matt Kindt script. And we could end there. The guy is so good he doesn't need a bunch of art monkey's trying to show off telling his story. Our editors could have just solicited the script and we all woulda loved it. But Valiant had a bunch of money lying around and we were all doing nothing anyways so they threw a few bananas our way and we got to work. 

Trevor Hairsine is doing some of his best work here. Very light on the line count which means easier inkings for yours truly. It's all about emotion and mood, which it kinda always is but these are the means at which the heart of this story is delivered to the reader. 

I'm using both Deleter and Hunt 102 nibs, my Raphael 8404s, an old soft filbert for an almost airbrushy effect that I am really digging on.

So after I drag and scratch pens all over it I send it to David Baron to color. One of my favorites. David brings a different philosophy to each of his projects which I both identify with and find inspiring. Here we have an artsy approach to a sci-fi summer blockbuster. Not a lot of filters but clever lighting. His sculpting is subtle and sweet, he knows his shapes for sure. davidbaron.deviantart.com/

And then off to David Lanphear to work the letters in there. Lucky for him- Trevor left him plenty of space. Lucky for us- he's good!

So that's enough bragging about the gang for now. Divinity issue 1 is out February 11th.
