[ID: greyscale digital painting of a child version of Killy sitting on a ledge before an open door/portal way. He is wearing a schoolboy’s uniform with a hat. Behind him in the opening is a set of stairs leading away to a far distance, with statues positioned on the sides of the staircase. The opening is heavily shadowed. The ledge that Killy is sitting on is brick and in the lower right hand corner, there is a dark opening. Killy’s shadow on the bricks is also inconsistent. The background of the painting is grey with slight variations in color, done in vertical strokes. On the right, there is some exposed brick and there are some horizontal and vertical strips of grey gradients. There is an irregular shape that has the same gradient shading on the right, near the opening. End ID]

when the academy is noise >>>. click/open in new tab to see all the textures.

here’s a close up of killy’s face because you can’t super see it well in the full image.

oh and here’s a bonus image from a while ago:

[ID: digital sketch of a young Killy. He is standing, hands clenched at his sides, and looking off to the side with a disgruntled expression on. He is wearing a schoolboy’s uniform and a hat. End ID]

#blame!#jkb.art #killy #noise gakuen lore for those that aren't in the know:#reading blame academy made me think about an actual blame academy #namely with the kids that were disappeared in noise #and i just personally like it if killy were one of those kids which leads to little killy in noise/blame academy #and it's like. ever since i watched rgu i froth at the mouth when the school setting is a metaphor for something else #so the academy here is an academy sure for all the disappeared kids but it also has the events of blame intruding on it #and if i were to develop this it'd just make you question reality #how much of this is the actual academy?#how much of this is a child's attempt to make sense of a cruel world that they've been thrust into?#and from a more meta perspective having the staircase featured in log one is relevant because 1) it's the start of killy (adult)'s story #and 2) in log 1 there's the death of a child. this is the death of killy the child #i also really loved these statues cause that one panel of the close up on a face make it seem like it's grieving what happened #they are still protectors that cannot protect anything #anyways also young killy with hat is an image i like now :#*still as in unmoving #also the thing about the academy here is that it is deserted. killy sometimes gets glimpses of the other kids and sometimes glimpses of what #would be the future but there is no one taking care of him. it's a cold empty place #and to a child him that is subject to experiments as implied in noise. that's a blessing. it's a blessing to be alone and unbothered #even if it takes its toll in the end
