True Detective: Fate Accelerated

I just finished watching True Detective from HBO. It’s an incredible piece of television, and I can’t wait to see what season two brings. I decided to stat up the two detectives from the show. I shared them on G+, got some feedback, and am presenting them here. Not too many spoilers here. This is how the detectives appear in the beginning of the first episode, back in 1995. Enjoy.
