Bade Walden - Comic Noir Graphic Novel

Bade Walden is a Comic Noir Graphic Novel set in the 1940s that I wrote, designed and illustrated, themed around the world of organized crime. The protagonist is a former associate of a major crime family in the city, whose wife suddenly goes missing. The story takes us through his journey trying to find out what happened and if he will ever see her again.

This is my favourite project so far, because it involved me combining the use of traditional analogue design, such mapping out the framework for each panel by hand on paper with a pencil, then inking them in pen, with digital processing methods, such as colourising the front cover and formatting the pages in an optimal way for mass printing.

A horror publication I wrote, designed and illustrated, outlining a typical experience one may have when in a state of sleep paralysis. The theme of this publication was heavily based on the human condition and the five senses, specifically what may be picked up by each of these senses during such a horrific experience. 

This project combined analogue design methods, like drawing out the illustrations on paper with pencil, and then using Photoshop later to distort the images to give a more horrifying look to each page, and InDesign to format the pages for print.

After creating my Bade Walden Graphic Novel, I translated the unique, 2D universe I created, to an interactive 3D world using Blender. Scene by scene, using the gritty, dark and monochrome design in the graphic novel and turning it to 3D, with the same lighting theory and pop out colours used.
