I’ve been working on this comic set in a post-nuclear world where humans are gone and everything is still radioactive.

Fairies started developing instead. They adapted to the pollution and unstable weather, building small slum cities protected from what’s outside.

Beyond those barriers, the world is still toxic and full of mutated life.

I’m really interested in the idea of fairies (usually seen as nature creatures) evolving in a world where nature doesn’t exist anymore, and where magic is something that happens to them rather than something they’re born with.

The project actually just hit its funding goal which is awesome!!

Would love to hear what people think about the concept, or what kind of mutations you think would realistically develop in them 👀

This is a comic I'm working on, the fairies live in a post-nuclear world where everything is still radioactive and all humans have vanished. They built their own small slum city which is protected by a shield from the unnatural weather and mutated monsters outside, but the two main characters have to venture outside of it at some point in the story.

There is a mutation going around which changes their skin appearance but can develop unpredictably too. These fairies are being less and less accepted in the slum city.

I really like the idea of fairies (who are seen as natural creatures mostly) in a world that’s been left devoid of any trace of nature. Smoke, concrete, acid rain, pollution, radiation… you get the gist. 

The world is also very punk with most fairies dressing alternatively. I took inspiration from 70's punk zines, I really love that DIY feel and I felt that it would fit in perfectly with the DIY nature of slums.

What do you think about the world?
