Finished piece for the Art Exchange I participate in a couple times a year (run by Ellisinia @ Twitter and the character belongs to SKELE-TEA @ Twitter).

OC doodles: some of my Dragon Ball OCs (Rimus and Fennle), plus busts of two older OCs and one newer (Tavet (pink/old OC) > Arlin (purple/new OC) > Numeral (teal/old OC)).

Was helping a friend think up ideas for a magic staff, I think I’ll use the cardinal points and tea reading ones for two OCs of mine.

A WIP of some more Petit Obscura adopts.

Unfriended: Dark Web – A Surrealist Approach to Horror

Introduction Unfriended: Dark Web (2018) revolutionizes horror storytelling by situating its narrative entirely on a computer screen. This digital format not only enhances the psychological tension but also introduces innovative techniques that reflect contemporary anxieties about technology and digital culture. By exploring its unique narrative structure, the use of hyperreality, experiential realism, and transmedia storytelling, this blog illustrates how the film challenges traditional horror tropes while pushing the boundaries of digital narrative design. The analysis concludes by relating these concepts to the field of concept art, underscoring their relevance in crafting immersive, technology-driven narratives.

Narrative Structure: A New Form of Found Footage The film adopts a desktop narrative style, presenting the story exclusively through a computer interface. This approach builds upon the found-footage tradition but adapts it for the digital age. Instead of relying on physical spaces to evoke fear, the film immerses viewers in virtual interactions, where the characters’ digital actions dictate their fate (Bloody Disgusting, 2018).

The fragmented structure reflects the non-linear nature of digital communication, with the story unfolding through video calls, chat windows, and shared files. This deliberate fragmentation heightens suspense and mirrors the unpredictability of online interactions, offering a fresh take on horror narratives (Kickasola, 2006).

Immediacy, Hyperreality, and Hypermediacy Unfriended: Dark Web skillfully employs the concepts of immediacy and hypermediacy to engage audiences. Immediacy is achieved by mimicking real-life digital interactions, creating an authentic and immersive experience. Meanwhile, hypermediacy disrupts this immersion by foregrounding the medium itself—pop-ups, glitches, and switching between apps remind viewers of the constructed nature of the narrative (Springer, 2022).

The portrayal of the dark web leverages hyperreality, blending exaggerated cybercrime scenarios with plausible online behaviors. This technique amplifies societal anxieties about digital privacy and security while making the horror feel disturbingly personal and believable (Perkis & Taveter, 2022).

Experiential Realism and Believability Despite its surreal premise, Unfriended: Dark Web maintains a sense of experiential realism. By grounding its horror in relatable digital environments—video calls, file sharing, and social media interactions—the film connects with the audience's lived experiences. This believability anchors the narrative, allowing supernatural and cybercrime elements to resonate more deeply (Academia.edu, 2022).

The film emphasizes the vulnerabilities of its characters not through traditional horror setups but through their digital footprints. This shift reflects real-world concerns about online identity and safety, blurring the line between the screen and reality (Kickasola, 2006).

Innovations in the Horror Genre By focusing on digital spaces, Unfriended: Dark Web challenges traditional horror conventions. The film replaces physical scares with psychological tension, demonstrating that modern technology can evoke fear as effectively as traditional horror tropes (SYFY Wire, 2018).

Moreover, its multiple endings introduce an interactive element, encouraging audiences to engage with the narrative beyond the film. This participatory approach reflects the changing relationship between media and viewers in a hypermediated digital age (Perkis & Taveter, 2022).

Transmedia Storytelling and Hypermedia The film’s transmedia strategy extends its narrative across social media, online forums, and other digital platforms. This interconnected approach enriches the story and mirrors the fragmented, multi-layered nature of digital culture (van Kessel, Manriquez, and Kline, 2025). Hypermedia techniques further enhance the narrative by incorporating textual, visual, and interactive elements, creating an immersive, multi-sensory experience (Wikipedia, 2024).

Conclusion: Implications for Concept Art As a concept artist, Unfriended: Dark Web exemplifies the potential of digital mediums to redefine narrative immersion. The film's innovative use of fragmented storytelling, hyperreality, and transmedia elements highlights new opportunities for visual storytelling. These techniques inspire the development of interactive, technology-driven worlds where audiences can actively engage with narratives.

In my field, these principles could be applied to design immersive environments that blend hyperreal visuals with interactive elements, offering deeper engagement and emotional resonance. By pushing the boundaries of traditional storytelling, concept artists can create narratives that reflect the complexities of contemporary digital culture, just as Unfriended: Dark Web has done within the horror genre.

Origine de l’expression « Ça lui fera une belle jambe »:

Lors de la profanation des sépultures royales de Saint-Denis en 1793, comme on cherchait à l’accoupler dérisoirement au corps désséché d’Henri IV, la jambe gauche du corps momifié de Catherine de Médicis s’était détachée à hauteur du genou. Un receveur du domaine nommé Bruley l’avait emportée. Sous l’empire, la jambe fut vendue par ses enfants au musée Tavet de Pontoise où l’on peut toujours la voir. D’où l’expression née du quolibet d’un Hébert ou d’un Fréron quelconque : « ça te fera une belle jambe! »

Au dire de Brantôme, Catherine l’avait fort belle et nous l’avions vérifié, coulée dans l’abandon d’un sommeil après l’amour par Germain Pilon, dans sa voluptueuse gisante d’un tombeau de Catherine dont il existait un moulage à l’école des beaux-arts.

It's Taem for a Clean Slate....a slate is Dark and Unknown.......Nothing written yet......it's not fraidy cat Dark....It's D-Ark...like an Ark in Time.......Ark signifies A New Beginning, doesn't it?   Noahs Ark...Biblical hebrew: Tevat Noah.....Spin that around HAON TAVET....hmmm interesting.........

Isn't it exciting....oh but I think there will be much to process in terms of information that Time will inevitably reveal....The present will create upheaval in what we know of our past.... it's not a prediction, just inevitability arising........this information will cause many to face a reckoning that will question almost everything they were ever told to believe In......Yes, faith and beliefs will be tested greatly as Discoveries of our HIStory are revealed to the Masses......I'm ready for OURstori.....
