10 Lies Of P Pinocchio Fanart Trends That Prove The DLC Is Already A Masterpiece
The artistic community surrounding Lies of P has exploded, transforming the grim, Belle Époque world of Krat into a vibrant canvas of fan-created masterpieces. This surge in creativity is not just a reaction to the game’s critically acclaimed release, but a direct result of the tantalizing new information about the upcoming DLC, tentatively titled Overture. As of late 2024, the hottest fanart trends are centered on speculating about Pinocchio's next chapter, re-imagining beloved NPCs like Sophia and Geppetto, and diving deep into the game's unique, Bloodborne-inspired aesthetic.
The core appeal of Lies of P fanart lies in its protagonist, P, whose design—a stylish, almost "goth boy" version of the classic puppet—offers an irresistible blend of elegance and mechanical horror. Artists are pushing the boundaries of the Soulslike genre’s visual language, creating fresh, unique content that focuses on everything from the subtle nuances of the "Rise of P" ending to the terrifying grandeur of the game's bosses. This is a definitive look at the current artistic landscape, highlighting the most significant and trend-setting fanart movements that are defining the community right now.
The Twisted Elegance of P: Pinocchio's Fanart Biography
The character of P, the puppet who strives to become human, is the undisputed star of the fanart community. His design is a masterclass in reinterpretation, blending the familiar silhouette of the classic tale with a dark, industrial, and decidedly French-inspired aesthetic. This duality provides endless inspiration for artists.
- Full Name/Design Alias: P / Pinocchio
- Creator: Geppetto (in-game) / Neowiz and Round8 Studio (developer)
- Base Story Inspiration: Carlo Collodi’s The Adventures of Pinocchio
- Setting: The city of Krat, during the Puppet Frenzy
- Core Conflict: The choice between telling "Lies" to retain humanity or telling the "Truth" to remain a puppet.
- Signature Look: A young man in a tailored suit (often the Blue Blood’s Tailcoat or the Alchemist’s Cape), mechanical left arm (Legion Arm), and a highly detailed, porcelain-like face.
- Fanart Focus: Depicting his emotional transformation, the mechanics of his Legion Arm (e.g., the Fulminis or Flamethrower), and his various cosmetic costumes and hairstyles.
- Key Entities in P's Fanart: P-Organ upgrades, the Hotel Krat environment, the various endings (Real Boy, Free from the Puppet String, Rise of P).
1. The DLC Hype: Pinocchio’s Journey to ‘Neverland’
The most current and exciting fanart trend revolves entirely around the confirmed Lies of P DLC, which is heavily hinted to be a continuation of the story involving new characters and locations. Concept art showing P on a ship has fueled massive speculation that the next chapter will take the puppet to a setting inspired by the story of Peter Pan, or "Neverland."
Artists are creating stunning environmental pieces and character concepts based on this idea. The fanart often features a windswept P, dressed in new outfits, facing a stormy sea or a mysterious, fog-shrouded island. Another popular subject is the new, unknown puppet shown in the DLC trailer, which is often drawn in a dramatic, action-ready pose, ready to confront P.
This trend has introduced new LSI keywords into the community's vocabulary, such as "Overture DLC fanart," "Pinocchio on a ship," and "New Puppet design." The anticipation for the DLC is driving some of the most intricate and detailed art the community has produced to date, focusing on the mysterious figure who holds "other keys" to the story.
2. Reimagining the NPCs: The Sophia and Geppetto Phenomenon
While P is the protagonist, the game's supporting cast—particularly the human characters caught in the Puppet Frenzy—have become fan favorites, providing emotional depth to the grim narrative. The fanart for these characters is deeply rooted in their lore and their connection to P’s journey toward humanity.
Sophia (The Blue Fairy): Sophia fanart is arguably the most popular among the NPCs. Artists are drawn to her ethereal, almost tragic beauty and her role as the "Blue Fairy" figure. Art pieces often emphasize her glowing, Monad-infused design and the somber atmosphere of her location in Hotel Krat. The most emotionally charged pieces depict the "Rise of P Ending," where P is given the choice to grant her peace, making her a symbol of sacrifice and true humanity.
Geppetto: The fanart of P’s creator is complex, reflecting the community’s mixed feelings about the character. Pieces often portray him as a manipulative master puppeteer, sometimes juxtaposed with the terrifying sight of his failed creation, Geppetto's Puppet (Lisrim). This contrast allows artists to explore the game's central themes of fatherhood, betrayal, and the nature of humanity.
3. The Art of Combat: Weapons, Legion Arms, and Killer Bosses
The visceral combat and intricate mechanical designs of Lies of P provide a wealth of material for artists who prefer action-oriented pieces. Fanart in this category focuses on the brutal elegance of the game's weapons and the terrifying designs of its major adversaries.
The Boss Gallery: A Celebration of Soulslike Design
The bosses of Krat are frequently celebrated, with artists choosing to highlight the unique blend of clockwork machinery and grotesque organic forms. Popular boss fanart entities include:
- The Black Rabbit Brotherhood: This group is a massive fan favorite, with artists enjoying the challenge of drawing all four siblings, particularly the youngest sibling and the leader with the red scarf. The art often depicts their chaotic, gang-like energy and their visual contrast with P.
- Champion Victor: His imposing, muscular frame and theatrical presence make him a popular subject for highly detailed, dynamic illustrations.
- Arlecchino (The Blood Artist): Fanart of the enigmatic clown-like figure, often focusing on his unsettling design and his connection to the game's lore, is a growing trend.
- Door Guardian: The sheer scale and intimidating presence of this mechanical behemoth is a common subject for environmental fanart.
Weapon and Legion Arm Focus
Beyond the bosses, the modular weapon system is a goldmine for fanart. The combination of Blades and Handles allows for endless creative interpretations. Artists frequently create detailed, standalone pieces of their favorite combinations, such as the Acidic Crystal Spear or the powerful Pipe Wrench, often rendered in a hyper-realistic style. The Legion Arms—like the Aegis shield, the Falcon Eyes cannon, or the Puppet String—are also popular, with fan artists meticulously illustrating the mechanical complexity of these powerful attachments.
4. Pinocchio in Different Universes: Style Crossovers
A highly engaging and unique trend sees artists transplanting P and other Lies of P characters into completely different art styles, showcasing the versatility of the original design. This proves the strength of the character's concept, as it remains recognizable and compelling even when divorced from its primary aesthetic.
- Cartoon and Comic Styles: Some artists have drawn P in the distinctive, edgy style of cartoonists like Jhonen Vasquez (known for Invader Zim), giving the "goth boy" puppet an even sharper, more angular look. Others explore a more whimsical, Suess-like style, creating a bizarre contrast between the dark themes and the playful art.
- Anime and Manga: P’s sleek proportions and dramatic outfits lend themselves perfectly to a high-contrast, action-packed anime style, often emphasizing his movement and the glow of Ergo energy.
- Retro-Futurism: Fanart occasionally explores a Steampunk or Dieselpunk aesthetic, pushing the game’s existing French-history inspiration into a more exaggerated, Victorian sci-fi look, focusing heavily on the brass and clockwork elements of the puppets and the city of Krat.
This deep engagement with the visual identity of Lies of P ensures that the fanart community remains one of the most vibrant and active in the Soulslike genre. The constant flow of new content, driven by DLC speculation and the rich character lore, means that the artistic exploration of Pinocchio’s grim fairy tale is far from over.
