“So... here's how this will go. I'm going to take your body, and I'm going to walk it out of here. And you’re going to watch me do it. Completely helpless. …Just like you left me."
Dipping ever so briefly into the much clearer horror side of this story, the next Vessel I want to show off from my Slay the Princess themed AU (there’s a fic now; you can read it [here]!) of my beloved crossover ship is this AU’s version of “The Wraith”.
This had been the fourth Vessel I had worked on, with the two Base versions of the Prince, the Interloper (AKA the Moment of Clarity), and the Discarded (AKA the Nightmare) preceding him, and had been completed properly sometime probably roughly around May 17th, 2025.
For this Vessel’s final design, I wanted to remain fairly faithful to STP proper’s design of the Wraith overall, as I felt that the design was already in line with my vision to begin with, but I did add a very unique spin by including more of the Ennard body parts that we only saw a vague hint of in the Interloper, and putting a lot more emphasis on the animatronic’s intrusion into his form, with this being a far more decayed version of Michael reminiscent of what he likely had nearly become right before the robot finally left his body in FNAF and allowed the remnant to actually be able to properly do its job in repairing him.
Also, since he can also be reached through the Spectre route, you can see here that he has a much more torn up version of the shirt you will see Spectre wearing in his artwork. :)
If you want to see me ramble more about that creation process and see some cool sketches from earlier on in the development process for these designs, you can check out the reblog of this post over on my main blog (which should be able to be found down in the reblogs of this post, obviously.)
Thanks again for reading, as always! I hope you like the artwork and my silly rambles down here below it. :) 💖

Certainly others, but I can’t access YouTube to look at the playlists I used today due to the fact I’m still trying to do my part in the boycott. :/ Someday I’ll update this properly. If you want to check if I’ve done that by the time you’re reading this, you can click [here].
