#Dupin

[aceredshirt13]

the virgin H. P. Lovecraft comparing a black guy to an animal in his gay necromancer story when being violently racist wasn’t even plot-relevant vs. the Chad Edgar Allen Poe, in his gay detective story eighty years earlier, having Dupin specifically state that the orangutan’s screeches weren’t any African or Asian language in what could otherwise have been the world’s easiest racist allegory

lowkey obsessed with dupin in all incarnations, especially dark tales games where he's the most pathetic man alive, gets clocked in the face a lot and you have to bail him out of danger like a damsel in distress

Day 5: Character Designs (On Vacation)

As it happens, I am out of the country for the next two weeks so I have to put programming on pause for the time being. In the meantime, I am working on character profiles and general design ideas. I'm not yet decided on what sort of art style I'd like for the game. It is sci fi, yes, but there is also an air of the anachronistic.

To that end, I'm using Infinite Painter (not sponsored, just a user) on my phone in order to draw some concepts as they come to me. When I am back at my work station in two weeks work on full body turn-arounds. For now, here is a sketch of what Dupin might look like.

That is the end of today's update.

‘The Murders in the Rue Morgue’ was the story that inspired Arthur Conan Doyle to coin the Sherlock Holmes formula.

In Poe’s story, the detective is C.Auguste Dupin, and the story is narrated by a first person narrator. The crime scenes are squeamish and unresolved and the narrator follows Dupin’s movements as he unravels the complication.

The Sherlock Holmes stories are narrated in the first person by, as we know, Dr John H Watson.

When Auguste said, “Good bye, Roderick. I’m going home to my husband, my kids, their kids. I’m the richest man in the world, do you know that?”

It’s a big slap to Roderick

The dark shadows are hovering, the noon scenery also moves closer to evening. Dirty crimes are breeding, concealed in the night like crows. I accept this request, even if the truth is covered in darkness, I will also show it clearly. I will arrive, to assist you to reveal the answer to this quaint riddle.

Dupin real life reference

Poe created the Dupin character before the word detective had been coined. The character laid the groundwork for fictional detectives to come, including Sherlock Holmes, and established most of the common elements of the detective fiction genre
