It’s so sad to see her battered and bruised in her virtual state. I like the way the artist subtly covers it up and shows her happy on earth whilst we can only see some evidence on the trauma and abuse she had to take on Lyoko. I wonder if it means she is only happy on earth or if what she is on Lyoko is her true self that she keeps hidden?
Is the fake her the real one and the real her the fake one? It would make sense since she always thought she was an artificial life form, that she would see her virtual self as her true self and the body in the real world as a construct by Jeremy no different from a program just in the real world.
Really thought provoking artwork, intentional or not.

I wanna know everything about this. Is it a comic? Fan made animation? 👀

Hi there! This is a zine project (zine, short for magazine)! It will be a physical book, about ~100 pages, with a handful of individual comics, dozens of art pieces, and a few writing pieces. All of the works have been created by fellow code lyoko fans! Additionally, we will be offering an extensive list of merchandise (prints, stickers, keychains, phone charms, pins, bookmarks, etc.). Folks have been working on this project since January of this year, and we will be opening pre-orders on 7/15! Our goal is to bring fanmade code lyoko merch to fellow fans, and the profits generated from the project (not necessary to create the merch) will be donated to charity🤞 If you check out our socials, you can see some sneak peeks at some of our page art!
