Neue AUs Headshot Rough Drafts Pt. 1

Dream's design: most likely done! At least we're getting there. I don't know what kinda changes my brain will come up with later so consider this a (probably) temporary design lol

Below is a semi-coherent explanation for the last image

The 3rd image is like a visualisation of my notes on them, inspired by nature patterns. Dream and Nightmare are not total opposites of each other, but rather analogous to each other.

Resilience — Motion : their nature. Nightmare is prone to being static, while Dream is constant motion.

Continuity — Harmony : community. Dream likes the interconnectedness of large communities, while Nightmare prefers one-on-one and closer relationships.

Sensuality — Intensity : how they approach relationships. In their truest nature, Dream is like a blazing sun: intense and constant. If he clicks with you, then he'd be excited to fill in every corner that he can in your life. Meanwhile Nightmare is more like a cat: approaching only when he feels comfortable and when he wants to, even if it's rarely. But the weight/importance of his attention makes up for it (or not, depending what kind of attention you're getting..)

Connection — Stability : what both of them need to feel happy and safe in their lives. Funnily enough, it's also what they don't have.

Influence — Change : how they impact other beings/people, consciously and power-wise. Nightmare influences others by compounding on preexisting emotions/thoughts/insecurities/etc, making one more likely to do whatever (like for example fall into a depressive episode). Dream, on the other hand, doesn't do subtlety and smashes through (or into) anything, outright forcing one to change their mood or mindset. His powers walk along the line of hypnosis in that regard.

Mafiafell Neue Rough Draft

I can’t decide if I want her name to be “Rozha” or “Carter”. I guess one could be an alter alias.

Here is the rough draft:

She’s based off the Australian Cashmere Goat.

She’s about an inch or 2 taller than Roman; her hair used to be to longer, but decided to cut it for her side job (and to be spiteful towards her parents).

Ask Questions About Mati!?

So doing the concept art of Mati “impersonating” Stanley is taking a lot longer than I was hoping, Stan’s one my favorite characters so I it to look good which results in me creating too high standards, but don’t worry I’m still working on it.

For now though, you all can ask questions about Mati or my other characters (who haven’t been drawn yet). I’ll try to answer the best I can without giving too major spoilers.

So ask away!

Poppy Playtime OCs Because Why Not (This is just more for fun)

After watching the play through of Chapter 4 & seeing the amount of fanart (both canon & OCs), I thought it would be fun to come up with some possible concepts for some OCs.

Might draw them, might not, I’m not sure yet.

Anyway below are the concepts:

Toys

Smiling/Nightmare Critter

After the scandal & recall of the Catnap Plushies, Playtime Co tried to create a new character to take Catnap’s place in the Smiling Critters Cast. Wanting to keep the same theme of “a good night’s sleep”, Playtime Co decided to base the design off the concept of “counting sheep”.

The character would be a sheep with white wool & black limbs, & wears a cloud shaped pendant with “Zs” in it or a pillow shaped pendant. They also had a chamomile scent.

They would have been named “Sleepy Sheepy”. However, it never made past the review period due to timing & negative ties to Catnap who both are associated with sleep, & fear that another scandal could occur from this.

This design was then used to create “Baba Chops”: inverted the colors, & changed their personality & along with changing their scent to Anise; who is part of a new line of characters called the Nightmare Critters.

Due to a “special request” from an anonymous source, the concept of Sleepy was altered. The character was changed to be a white lamb wearing a bell shaped pendant, but still kept the chamomile scent.

The character was named “Mary Little” & was used as a limited edition toy to celebrate their 3 year anniversary. They also made a special appearance in the cartoon for the same reason.

Their personality was described to be very curious & a bit naive. They wanted to be friends with everyone & for everyone to feel included. They would’ve act as a peacemaker or negotiator between the Smiling Critters & Nightmare Critters. In the show, they only had one major appearance & would then only appear a couple of times afterwards before the cartoon was discontinued.

Due to them being a limited edition toy, there was only a handful of them produced & was only available during the year 1991. A Bigger Body was never created due to the same reasons above, but there were plans of one if the Catnap Bigger Body became “uncooperative”.

The living toy experiments were also conducted on the plushies as well, but were less in number. After the Hour of Joy, most of the plushies were killed & eaten, with the exception of those that followed Catnap. There was also just one that took refuge in Safe Haven.

Humans

Past Employee: Mary Sawyer

Mary was the daughter of Harley Sawyer. Wanting to grow closer to her father, she tried to gain an internship at Playtime Co.

After seeing her potential, Dr. Sawyer put in a request, & pulled some strings, to give her permission to work with him on the living toys experiments & the Bigger Body Initiative.

However, after seeing the experiments & treatment of the toys, Mary was horrified & wanted to leave. But due to fear of being “taken care of”, she continued to work alongside Dr. Sawyer to secretly gather evidence.

During the Hour of Joy, Mary was out doing an “errand” for the other scientists. When she came back, she saw the aftermath & fled immediately.

10 years later, she returns back to Playtime Co to figure out what happened & to see what happened to the toy & BBI experiments.

-or-

Mary was the daughter of Harley Sawyer. When she was younger, she was often brought to Playtime Co with her father & was used to test the experiments’ reaction to children.

The toys were quite fond of Mary due to her kind-hearted nature & gentle approach. She was often around the Nightmare Critters, who were very affectionate & friendly towards her after she would give them snacks.

After Dr. Sawyer was turned into the Doctor, Mary was sent to live with other relatives & hasn’t been back to Playing Co since.

She would constantly ask about her father & “friends”, but many of the relatives would just change the subject or say they didn’t know what she was talking about. This caused Mary to doubt her memory & the time she was at Playtime Co.

10 years after the Hour of Joy, Mary would run away from her home & return to Playtime Co to find her father & “friends”. However, she only found a factory filled with starved toys & notes written on vhs tapes.

Past Employee: Samuel Barnes

Samuel was the older brother of Kevin Barnes. They were separated, with Sam going to live with his parents while Kevin was sent to the orphanage due to his “behavior”. He was sent to the orphanage at a very young age, so he doesn’t remember Samuel that well.

His family would deny the existence of Kevin whenever Samuel would ask about him. It wasn’t until he turned 18 when he found out the truth.

Enraged by his parents’ actions & concerned for his brother’s safety, would go to Playtime Co to find him, but was denied access to the orphanage.

After creating a fake identity, Samuel would apply for a job to work at Playtime Co. Mainly to gather information & find Kevin, while also needing a job in general.

However, after being caught multiple times trying to look through classified documents, he was fired & banned from the facility. He was then arrested & imprisoned for trespassing & aggravated assault about a couple days after being fired.

10 years later, it’s unknown if he escaped prison or was released early for good behavior, he went back to Playtime Co for closure. But was met with an empty factory filled with starved toys & eaten corpses.

These are just a few ideas for concept ideas for possible OCs, I would like hear what you guys think, & if you all like them then I might make art of them.

Update & Upcoming Artwork

Sorry I haven’t posted anything Undertale related for a month, I was taking a break then got super into another fandom so started to work on art for that, then I took another break and then I got sick for almost 2 weeks.

So for a long story short: I basically took a long break to rethink some things.

I think I got a bit overwhelmed with the amount of characters/AU variations that I ended up burning out.

But now, I’m gonna start on a project revolving around Neue AU Variants based on the Star Sanses and Bad Sanses. This will include the following:

-Eras (“Son”/Student of Dream)

-Lucida (“Daughter”/Student of Nightmare)

-Merriweather (Daughter of Underswap Sans)

-Crimson (Son of Horrortale Sans)

-Gisha (Child of Cross Sans)

-Vani (Daughter of Dust Sans)

-Sabon (Son of Killer Sans)

-Canvas (Student of Ink Sans)

Along with a few more.

Obviously for a few of these I haven’t completed their rough drafts yet, but for the ones I did, I’ll be redrawing/redesigning their appearances.

If anyone has any suggestions/questions for these characters, please feel free to comment down below.

Character Information Pt. 2

Here is another info dump regarding a few of the characters.

-

-

Merriweather - UNDERSWAP

Merriweather, or just Merrie, has the ability to summon a massive warhammer, think Sardonyx from Steven Universe or Tinkaton from Pokémon. However, she does get a bit overexcited when using it, looking a big unhinged but she’s just really excited to use it.

Miriam - SWAPFELL

Miriam can also summon a weapon as well, a huge spiked flail, something like Sweetheart’s from OMORI but bigger. I would actually imagine her voice to be similar to the Man on the Internet lyrical video of World’s End Valentine.

Avenir - FELLSWAP (GOLD)

Much like his Underfell counterpart, Avenir is Trans: female to male. This started out due to him thinking that he had to be a man to be taken seriously by his people, but grew to love his new identity & officially transitioned when he was older. His original name was Aldria.

These are just a few facts for now, please comment down below what I could improve upon or your headcanons for these characters.

Rough Draft of Neue (Which AU should I do Next?)

Dusttale: Revived | Monster Kid Design Concept

Here is the design concept for Monster Kid or “MK”.

I added a height chart of Vani & Sans for comparison.

For context:

MK was dusted during the events of NPHRA (based off the wound, most likely by the human).

They were revived by Vani & became her assistant, albeit not a good one.

Vani & MK grew up together & were close friends.

As for why MK is half gray, I’ll let guys figure it out.

Rainbow falls au.. Mlp x Gravity falls! The Old Pinestwins! My one million notes shall be heard..

Outertale Neue Rough Draft

Outertale Neue’s name is “Nova”, based off a font and “Super Nova”.

Here is the rough draft:

He’s based off the Zhongwei Goat, there was one that had a coat similar to dreads so I based his hair off that.

He’s around/same height as Neue, and he usually has his eyes closed.

He’s a sweepy boi.
