Saw this first on discord but also extends a thanks here because I love this

You close your eyes while listening to locate him through his pictogram in the forest. At first, it’s a dark void, but gradually, a shape emerges, layer by layer, building upon those mesh points ...

"How did he get here?" It's a question he is often asked.

Aaah, shivers!
I'm glad I could participate in this project. Thank you again!

Raz,
Of course! I really like Christian's design, the retro hairstyles you give your characters are amazing, I don't see a lot of people utilizing this hairstyle hehe

Fernelescent,
Thank you! Enjoy it thoroughly <3

Elea,
You finally posted something on the forum, hell yeah!!!! >:DDD That's what I call character development

Saater,
Thank you for your comment. <3 It means a lot! I love your artworks just as well - the coal-like technique you use is a unique sight!

Commented on discord, but I still want to say something here. When you've said that you're re-thinking his art after reading his bio, I didn't know that you'd capture the core of his very being in such an accurate way. I was so shocked when I saw it, it truly made me think ''this is as Fjara as Fjara gets.'' Thank you so much again, it's made my entire week, possibly month maybe this entire ye- you get the gist ! It's an honor to see the soggy morose beast like this, from you. <3 ((oh and the detail of him being unmasked here makes me so happy))

klownda,
Yesterday I could get into the zone and grab this to finish it from my files, but almost immediately went to sleep after posting, because of work )
I'm not sure if I drew it on the stream you joined or if you remember(it's been three months lmao), but initially I wanted two lines of little fishes clipping through his head, orange and white. I might see if I can execute that sometime later, of which you'll be notified, hehe.

It makes me very happy to hear that. I'm glad I could carry over his essence through this piece, and there's so much more to do and explore visually with Fjara. The "as Fjara as Fjara can get" is an honor to receive, thank you. :') I also am a big fan of the faces you give to your characters, there's a certain softness they carry that really captivates me. It takes a lot of strength to be soft and gentle, as Saater mentioned above. And also not to get into clichés but there are open doors to christianity somewhere around Fjara with all the fish symbolism and him being in the forest, which would be fun to explore given that the game and the developers clearly draw inspiration from it. :j

Saater,
Thank you. I'm glad you're here among the reeds too. What you wrote resonates immensely with the vibe of the portrait. I wish to draw so much more but there's so little time and so many other life-related things to do. But that's on me for being employed from 8-5, lmao.
