Creating artwork

Creating artwork 

It wasn't a simple task. A substantial part of the pictures was taken by me. Then different colleges were made. All pictures used as backgrounds which weren't mine were found by google labeled “free to use with modification”. After collecting enough pictures to tell the story, I gave it a certain style. The sketchy world we see is the world which the protagonist (Jim) would see through his own eyes. Because he suffers from derealization which causes constant impression that everything around is like 2D drawing and it’s fake which well corresponds with the player point of view.

Then I went through a long process of trial and error to receive the desired visual effect.
Almost all pictures went through colored chalk script (Paint Shop Pro script), then I fiddled with different sliders to give each picture accurate mood, and then I used AKVIS Sketch, to give it final sketchy look. Then I worked in Infinite Painter on a tablet to sharpen the edges. If you have more question feel free to ask  :)
