I know everyone cites Percy Jackson, Harry Potter or The Secret History as their entry into dark academia, but I think we’ve all been forgetting these ??
Literally any modern academic, astrology, historian could be tied to these. The art in them and the interactive aspects?? Forget anything else THIS was the blueprint. We all wish our bullet journals and study notes looked like these.
Not to mention there is a film in development with the premise of “a research institute, where the fringe sciences that no one else takes seriously are studied in earnest” ??!!! Guys it’s made for us. Everyone go thank author Dugald Steer!
And also make your own book like this for your subject specialty so I can enjoy learning like a kid again. Maybe I’ll present my master’s thesis in one of these bad boys, who knows?
"And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."
Unplanned companion to this Murderer, Shinichi Kudo piece from a few days ago.
I'm blaming this one entirely on my brother lmao
I thought I was done with this concept, like I had NO plans to continue representing this idea in this particular aesthetic, but then as we're watching Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small, completely unprompted he hits me with this fuckin curveball:
"Do you think [Shinichi] thinks of himself as a murderer?"
And I just. Man
To be fair... I don't think I'll ever be done with the idea of a more emotionally-driven revenge story than what we're given for Shinichi, and the temptation of vigilantism in his pursuit of it, but I wasn't ready to start thinking about it agaaainnnn
(It's a rope for symbolism, not literal suicide- but I'm giving a heads up just in case)
Full drawing and explanation under the break
Aaand it's a concept drawing I plan to turn into an illustration!
I was inspired by hagi's drawing on pixiv (ID: 2249236)**
It's representing how each time Conan takes the antidote, the existence of Shinichi fades away more and more (hence the rope which is in the same color as the antidote and the cracks on Shinichi's side)
The idea of Shinichi being pushed out of the picture by himself essentially is just-
THE TRAGEDY!!! I'm here for that angst, being the masochist (and sadist for imagining Shin-chan suffering like that LMAO) I am.
**the inspiration:
it’s all fun and games until someone hits a pole

:3 it's so cool
finally! not all the panels ended up as expected but i needed to spit out this idea out of my head. Panels without lyrics go with the busic btw.

I was commissioned for another comic in the chat noir as a cat AU by @powerdragonmoon!! It was a blast… this is my favorite streak of commissions ive ever gotten oh my god.
anyways adrien started this idea as an excuse to get marinette to kiss him but it spiraled and he 100% convinced himself that he was going to turn back into a human…
