An assortment of photographs of Tim-Burton-esque sketches, created during an unknown time in 2020, mainly on the subject of Season 5 of The Magnus Archives. Photograph description ensues:
Photograph #1: On the first photograph, the beholder may see a watercolour and ink painting of the Archivist - a thin, gangly man dressed in brown trousers and a light brown shirt. He's clutching the strap of his bag in one hand, the other hand is holding a small casette. There is a denim jacket on his shoulders and rectangular glasses perched on his nose. His eyes dominate his gaunt, unshaven face. They are very large, circular, blodshot and expressing something between uncertainity, bone-deep tiredness and great fear. There are fog-like wisps curling around his feet and extending into the sides and a number of mishapen eyebulbs floating symmetrically around and behind his head and shoulders knees and toes knees and toes head and shoulders knees and toes knees and toes and eyes-
Photograph #2: This digital photo shows a black and white sketch of a cat sitting in an armchair. The cat is alert, looking at the beholder with a strange look, perhaps guessing at their easiest-exploitable weaknesses. It is a scrawny tomcat with uneven whiskers that stick out like wires, curling at the ends. Its fur is light with irregular patches of dark hairs and it's got a long, thin tail with a mop of fluffy hairs at the end. Underneath its armchair, there is "The Admiral" in a calligraphic inscription. In the upper left corner, the beholder can see a half of a dog's face. It is a very mean-looking dog with a thin smile, large eyes and a funky little palm of hairs secured with a bow on the top of its head.
Photograph #3: There is a black and white oval sketch of a landscape on this photograph. Its main attraction is a thin, metal tower strething into the sky. The pattern of its crossbars reminds the beholder of simplified eyes. It is stretching from the top of a hill. The hill is, in fact, a large eyebulb with its bulging iris and pupil functioning as the tower's foundations. There are more hills in the background, all grotesque-looking eyes staring into the sky with their whites full of exhausted, rupturing veins and their pupils not made of the absence of an iris but rather bulging out like lakes overflowing with thick, black, oozing liquid. The sky consists of realistically drawn human eyes, each looking in a different direction, some anxious, some engry, some suspicious and some terrified. They all have eyelids which connect them and bind them into the same eyeful of sky. The sketch is framed in a thick, black oval.
Photograph #4: This photo shows a pair of figures holding hands. The figure on the left is the Archivist, in all his casette-and-messy-hair glory. He is a thin man wearing jeans, a green jacket and a grey t-shirt. There is a casette in his right hand with its tape spilling out in black, elegant loops. On his nose, there are thick, round tortoise shell glasses. He is smiling softly at the figure that can be held next to him, a sweter-wrapped man with soft, blond hair. at the beholder. Holding his hand is Martin who is depicted from the waist down as a spider, with his eight thin feet planted securely next to the Archivist's. From the waist up, he is human. (That is, if the creator's notes can be trusted, becuase of the lack of planning in the creative process. His legs could have been normal but then they would simply be too long to convincingly look human.) Martin is wearing a warm sweater in blue, pink and yellow pastel colours. His hair is swept up in a gentle breeze sweeping it into soft curls. His left arm, together with the sweater, is dissolving as though someone in unraveling its yarn.

A sketch of one Elias Bouchard, titled "The Watcher" and published at an earlier date and similar in nature to the material presented here.
