A high-contrast, "indie-manga" style specialized in heavy, textured ink-work and hauntingly oversized vertical pupils. It blends the gritty, sketch-heavy lines of traditional underground comics with a dark, matte, gouache-painted atmosphere. Designed for characters that look both vulnerable and supernatural against deep, void-like backgrounds.
