A painterly, melancholic style built for character portraits that feel like they're falling apart and holding themselves together at the same time. Loose, expressive brushwork, desaturated washes bleeding into bursts of sickly color, and faces rendered with the kind of weary, haunted specificity you'd expect from a detective who hasn't slept in days. Inspired by the moody isometric portrait art of acclaimed indie detective RPGs, expect thick impasto textures, harsh chiaroscuro lighting, and a rough, unfinished-canvas quality — perfect for portraits that look like they belong on the wall of a failing precinct, soaked in regret and cheap liquor.
