"Beauty in things lies in the mind which contemplates them."

― David Hume

★

This quote reminds us that beauty is not just about the physical appearance of things, but is also shaped by our own perceptions and experiences. It suggests that the beauty of imperfection lies in our ability to appreciate and contemplate it, rather than simply striving for perfection.Welcome to my website! My name is Darius Irani [The Dardanitan], and I embrace the beauty of imperfection, simplicity, and authenticity. In the spirit of wabi-sabi, I believe that flaws and irregularities add character and charm to our creations.As you explore my website, you may notice imperfections in my design process. Rather than seeing these imperfections as mistakes, I see them as opportunities for creativity and spontaneity.In a world that values perfection and uniformity, I seek to celebrate the unique and imperfect. I believe that imperfection is a reminder of the impermanence and beauty of life.Please take your time to navigate through the different tabs and pages of my website. I hope you find inspiration and beauty in the imperfect and unexpected. Thank you for visiting, and have a wonderful day!

REDESIGNS

Project Aproa

Project Aproa is a social sim visual novel that I have been working on little by little for 2 years now. It has undergone a lot of changes over the period of time, including story and character changes. Due to time constraints from studies, progress has been minimal.I will be sharing some excerpt of the script and some concept art of characters.

PLOT
The protagonist, a 17-year-old boy who recently moved to Japan, has a traumatizing past. He is under the custody of his distant sister, who is an investigative journalist trying to uncover the truth behind a personal trauma that changed her brother and her life forever, while also un-covering various emerging problems plaguing the once peaceful town she lived in.The small town of Tsuruhara is plagued by corrupt politicians blind in greed of capitalism, who want to “modernize” the town for their own benefit. While the city modernizes and evolves over time, the protagonist struggles to adjust to his new surroundings and find a sense of belonging, but soon finds welcoming friends.As the protagonist navigates through his struggles, he discovers that there is a supernatural enemy lurking in the shadows. This enemy has taken the form of his best friend, and is corrupting the morals and minds of the townspeople through cognitive distortions.The protagonist, his new friends and his sister team up to uncover the truth behind this evil force, but their investigation takes a dangerous turn when the enemy targets them specifically. The protagonist must confront his own inner demons, the traumatic events of his past and see value in his friendships in order to save himself and the town from the corruption and destruction that threatens them all.
