Cary as art thief, Pierre Despereaux in the series 'Psych' (Season 4 episode Extradition: British Columbia, 2009)

redesigned the cover for my favourite book in the robert hunter series by chris carter- i just thought the og cover doesnt do this story justice- if you like fucked up serial killers and tired detectives then this is a really good read !!

[artsandstoriesandstuff]

The pain of fixating on a character not on art fight that no one will be drawing until they get up there... :,)

Anyway. Crappy artist rendition of the two from earlier!

These are Walt Peters (or Pete Waters or. Idk.) and Bonnibel!

Walt is a detective from maybe the 20s-50s that, out of curiosity, powered on a time machine project from a high schooler and wound up in the 21st century. He's a cold -too cold, sometimes- and calculating guy. Over the course of the series he does learn to have a heart... but the emotions sometimes get in way of his work, in his opinion.

Bonnie (or Bo. Or Bon) is a seemingly ditzy woman from a big city that is one of the first people Walt comes across. However, as previously mentioned she may not be as stupid as she often comes across and this more intelligent side shows further in the series. She has a '60s aesthetic. While at the beginning it's unknown if she traveled from the past too, she may have a deeper connection to one of Walt's cases...

Walt meets Bonnibel at some sort of important building. I know that they become detective partners at some point but I don't know how yet. I do know that Walt is often fed up with Bon's work ethic, but doesn't necessarily hate her, and Bo just really likes working with him. Eventually the big important case shows up but it becomes really hard to work on due to Walt's newly developed feelings for Bonnie. (not specifically that the romance gets in the way! Also speaking of romance though I do ship them I don't think the romance is a main plot point this time. Sorry.)

Design tidbits!

Walt

Walt has arms. And hands! I just find it fun drawing him without 'em. When he's in his detective suit he has black gloves on, nothing fancy.

His coat is supposed to have 3 buttons on it.

His hat is also a taller rendition of the deerstalker (the Holmes hat... look it up!)

Unless he's at home or in a generally comfortable place, Walt doesn't tend to take off his coat. He will, though, add accessories such as a tie or a scarf if the situation calls for it. I always draw him with the hat though.

His face in always in shadow (probably even without the hat). One of his eyes is generally squinted at all times, and his eyes can become more or less stretched depending on the emotion (this means he has NO EYELIDS unless his eyes are fully closed. His eyes show the emotions, not the eyelids or brows.)

The smaller eye generally is the opposite of the direction he's facing. Not necessary if he's looking forward.

Bonnibel

Bonnie has big hair! It isn't overtly big like a beehive, but it isn't really flat like Bel's either.

Oh and freckles. I decided to add them to make her a little more distinct!

She tends to have jewelry on! Mostly bracelets and earrings, though. She doesn't tend to wear necklaces.

She also likes to switch out these jewelries!

She is a very expressive woman! (Close to Enid levels of expressive) Feel free to stretch her emotions more!

Fitting with her accessories she also likes to have many outfits! They're generally 60s too but she has a few modern items in there. (she's kinda like enid but a little psychotic wait what who said that

So why the heck do I include all this information? Well:

Currently I can't get a good laptop photo for the life of me and

I really really want someone to draw them on art fight

That's all I have of them for now. I'm still thinking of a name but I feel like this would work well as an adult swim and/or cartoon network thing, or a webcomic. Both?

Also as much as I want them to get along I feel like these two would have serious beef with the Robo Sleuths.

If you read all this please let me know what you think of them!!! :)

Don't you just hate the 'partners-to-lovers' trope involving the main characters in so many detective TV-series (The Mentalist, Castle, Lucifer, Supernatural, Brooklyn99,...)

Stigmata by Takahashi Hidebu

Volumes: 2 COMPLETE

Rating: Ummm… A Lemon?

Warnings: Gore, Dubious Consent, Reference to Rape/Non-Con, Murder, References to Domestic Violence and Abuse

Additionally Tags: Police, Detectives, Investigators/Investigations, Supernatural Powers, Psychic Powers, Deeply Psychological, Criminal Investigations, Thriller, Uncertain Ending, Complex Characters

Summary: “Asako Minami has a "unique constitution." He senses the lingering thoughts of murder victims, and experiences the circumstances under which they died with his own body in a reaction similar to stigmata. This proves useful in solving difficult cases with the Metropolitan Police Department's Special Investigations Unit Six. Asako's partner is the reserved Superintendent Kuroiwa Hiroto, rising through the MPD ranks despite doubting his own abilities.”

Review: This not your typical BL plot. The major of the story surrounds the death of a Detective’s ex-wife and her unsolved murder. Asako our main character can relive the thoughts and feelings of a murder victim when he is exposed to items and people present when the individual died. This poses a problem as he is holding on to lingering feeling from a murder victim once married to his superior, Kuroiwa. Asako quickly loses track of what feelings are Kuroiwa’s ex wife and what feelings are his own in regard to Kurowia.

Incredibly suspenseful in the romantic plot and criminal investigation. If you like Law and Order and BL you will like this. The art style is highly unique and very interesting. I enjoy the complexity of the style and the extremely stylized panels.

The spicy scenes are captivating in my opinion. More so there is a lot of sensuality add to scenes that are not exactly spicy. This adds to the suspense of romantic plot line. Asako is drawn in a more gender fluid way than the Kuroiwa. In fact, he is drawn more feminine than other characters in other work by Takahashi which is interesting. However, I do feel there is a bit of inherent awkwardness as Kuroiwa is rather blunt towards the end of the second volume. All and all I love this work but it is not for everyone
