THE PIC QUALITY IS SO BAD I WANT TO DIE

Anyways... A faetrap fan art !! Favorite Indie game ever and favorite game rn lolol so here it is in the shape of a bad screenshot.

I’m really annoyed that I'm too lazy to finish this on my phone, but I also knew I’d wanted to share it, even if it’s not fully polished (yet). 

The panels are a lazy ngl, my malfunctioning ipad died before I could finish it + i’m not used to making comics..  But the game is really inspiring me, and has lowkey been an hyperfixation of mine LOL :’) 

The MC I drew here is specifically inspired by an anonymous ask I sent (WHICH FEELS SO COUNTER INTUITIVE TO SAY).

In this I wanted to illustrate my character (nameless so far) surviving in the woods, with Leshi hunting them down– like the ask and reply said. 

I can’t lie, Leshi FREAKS ME OUT and I started off lowkey hating him, but the idea of him as a predator, tracking down a survivalist MC is just so scrumptious.

I also went with the second element of the ask, MC with body mods, but I made it much softer from what I had imagined so they can look undeniably human and vulnerable in my art style.

I’d like to think those first few days in the Fae realm were spent toughing it out : eating gums to keep the hunger at bay for a little while, gathering berries that they don’t really trust, avoiding the crunch of dried leaves and the sting of nettle… Every single thing they learned from trekking with Laurel getting to be used in this short amount of time. 

But they know they’re being watched. They can feel a heavy gaze on their back, though they never got to see the creature it belongs to.

And so they climb up on trees to rest, they reach for their pocket knife unconsciously, and they walk as swiftly as their heartbeat allows. 

I’m also lowkey thinking that them fainting would lead to them interacting with Leshi – the hunt is put to a sudden stop when their body grows too weak, and he takes them to his cottage. Despite them seeing his carefully manufactured sweet persona, they don’t really trust him, feeling put off by his sharp gaze and even sharper claws… still they eat the food he gives them and rest up in his bed, not seeing any way out.

The sheep keychain is definitely done on purpose to represent that they’re a prey and totally not because I have a sheep keychain irl ahahahaha…..

This MC is FAR from how I look, despite them being lowkey based off of me. I wanted them to be their own person :)

I love Nyxia in particular, but the writing is overall incredible.(LAUREL. We see so little of her but yet I love her so much.)

Sorry for any unclear phrasing, I’m french and learnt english on my own fjfjbkfjfk

Sneak peek of my latest CG ~

Still thinking about the direction I want to take their shared route, since I don’t just want to just write the cliché “Oh no! the love interests are fighting over y/n!! How terrible!”

Because while I do enjoy some corny tropes here and there, these two barely qualify as “love interests” to begin with… so I think I’ll use this as an opportunity to flash out their beautiful little dynamic instead (watch the game develop into toxic yaoi in real time).

And it’s a good setup for that, too, with Nyxia being fed up with Leshi’s antics and marginally interested in you as his buddy’s latest victim, and Leshi trying to get him deeper into the rabbit hole of their borderline codependency (as always). Like, just imagine the possibilities…

Anyways, the cycle of eternal yearning must keep on going >:)
