Got Plopped In a Ghost Story, You Still Gotta Work: A visual primer for English speakers

This took me a week. I did this for ORV like 4 years ago so it felt like my moral obligation to make one again.

Some notes on character designs and images without text:

Gorals and domestic goats look very different, but in Manor of the Blind attention is put into how these two are similar and contrasting, the truly noble Go Yeongeun with the white goat and the sinister Baek Saheon with the black goat. I also picked a literal goral instead of a mountain goat (which are naturally white) because gorals look more like roe deers than goats, making the 3 of them more closely linked.

Because this is a horror novel and unnatural features aren't mentioned, I tried to keep this as grounded as possible. Sorry to the three WHABs I eliminated in cold blood ⭐

Another hardliner of of grounded designs is Jin Nasol, who gets the most ostentatious anime character treatment besides Jay in fanart. She is coldly utilitarian and prizes efficiency over all else, there is no way that woman has bangs

I am not giving Park Minseong brown hair. There is nothing wrong with a good warm black

Lee Jaheon is often depicted as an adorable little newt in fanart, but a huge part of why he is so hysterical is that he is scary, so I picked more intimidating lizard traits so he functions in both dramatic heroic scenes and eating granola bars with the wrappers still on. He gets to keep the newt mask though

I gave Braun white gloves at first but I saw a Braun cosplayer and a demon possessed me. I have no idea what colour is canon. who doesnt love black leather

Making Jang Heo-un the "sharp eyes meek personality" trope made my brain light up so good. I was trying to contrast with the relaxed eyes of the easygoing Park Minseong to make them more obviously different but this feels cosmically correct

Digital fanart for Omniscient reader's viewpoint. It's a series of black and white illustrations making out a single monologue through their accompanying text.
"I suppose, in a sense".
Kim Dokja looking at something under his feet. His face is hidden under a heavy shadow with only a single eye and a crack running across his face visible. Behind his head there's a disc of a halo crumbling away on a background of pitch black sky.

"I'm also a writer"
A shot of Kim Dokja from the back. He is standing on a path made out of screens-tiles, each depicting a scene. Closest to him are a scene of his companions calling out to him and a scene of unconcious Yoo Joonghyuk sleeping somewhere. Further aways, disappearing in the dark, are two female silhouettes, possibly Lee Sookyung and Han Sooyoung back on Earth.

"Worse than a proper one"
Two bright white parallel lines - two bridges extend into the dark, never getting close. Kim Dokja stands close to the lower edge of the art, watching someone standing on the other path far away, also wearing a white coat.

"With my hands accustomed to turning pages"
The text sits in the screen of Kim Dokja's phone held by his crumbling hands.

"Not filling them"
That text, in contrast, is printed on a stack of pages held by different hands, with painted black nails and different type of scars.

"My heart as well"
A close up of Kim Dokja's face, looking down. There is no heavy shadow over his face, yet his mouth are not drawn. Despite that, his eyes look dull, sad.

"Accustomed to seeing"
A reflection of younger Kim Dokja in an old pc screen. He looks down, just as sad and disheartened as his older self. There are pages visible on the screen.

"But not participating"
A shot from inside the train carrier. Hands claw at the closed doors, leaving bloody traces on the glass. It's Kim Dokja's crumbling hands. Behind the glass there is a night sky.

"Maybe that is why"
Kim Dokja is sitting on a train seat with his legs, looking to the right. He is wearing his stark wjite coat, and looks empty. He is surrounded by an empty void, all alone in the space he is in.

"Their expressions are hard to pin down"
A mirror image of the previous one, but this Kim Dokja is looking at his companions, who surround him. They all sit on grass, with a darkening sky above them. Still, all the faces of Kim Dokja's companions are hidden as if drawn over with a pen.

"If i never experience that strong of a feeling"
Kim Dokja at the end of the 1863 arc, from the back, hunched down with his black wings framing his back. His horns are crumbling, and so does the black star of a constellation above his head.

"How can i put it on a page?"
A mirror image of Kim Dokja from the first page - but now it's Han Sooyoung looking down on Kim Dokja with her face hidden under a heavy shadow, her expression impossible to pin down. She is wearing a bright white coat.

"A story written by someone that inadequate"
A page almost fully black. In the upper left corner, there is barely visible figure of young Han Sooyoung in front of a computer screen, typing. On her chair there's barely visible hand of the Dokkaebi king. Only whatever is bathed in the light of the screen is visible.

"Surely it's not a read you would approve of"
A similarly almost completely black page. In contrats with the text, a happy Kim Dokja, visible in the light of his phone, sits in a hospital bed. An IV drip is visible next to him, with the bags going from seemingly normal one to Story fluid the higher they sit.
Full text says:
"I suppose, in a sense... I'm also a writer, worse than a proper one, with my hands accustomed to turning pages, not filling them. My heart, as well, accustomed to seeing, but not participating. Maybe that is why their expressions are hard to pin down. If i never experience that strong of a feeling, how can i put it on a page? A story written by someone that inadequate... Surely it's not a read you would approve of."
