I want to thank you guys again for all the feedback! It's filling my mind with all sorts of ideas—better ideas! Of course, we'll still stick to the base script, but diverging just a bit never hurt anyone.

Post #25 - Lizard Daddy

The title in the image does not say "Ai", but "AL". I just now noticed that it looks that way lol.

As I continue to update "The Worst Kinda Curse", I thought creating some concept art for Alphys' father, Al, would be fun. In the fic, he's described as big and imposing, but I have this habit of humanizing the monsters. So, I gave him two forms just to visually play around with different ideas. I like his color scheme as it reminds me of a rooster.

Would anyone care to see more sketches of characters from that story? I might make a few for "The Salt Circle" too.

Post #13 - For the Love of Art or the Love of Money?

TL;DR - I will no longer give myself deadlines, and we will be blending formatting and thumbnailing together in order to get the ball rolling on the comic.

I joke all the time and say that if I don't want to follow through with something, I should set a deadline. This joke has been a way to avoid beating myself up after another project goes on hold, or another plan isn't followed. I suppose I am unreliable—I'd moan, only to realize this usually applies to personal projects I do for fun and not the other aspects of my life.

Fawn, and every fanfic I write, should be for fun.

I can say it currently is fun, but recently I feel myself growing stressed whenever I think about it. I've been dreading creating posts—absolutely hating the idea of it, so I've been avoiding it altogether. Social media has never been my specialty, and the few times that I forced myself to give it a try I often got caught up in the numbers, the engagement, and the thirst for attention. It's bad for mental health, so I taught myself to put it away, to use it only as a bystander and not as a "content creator".

I don't want this to be that way. I genuinely want to see this comic to the end if only for myself and no one else. It would feel good to look at 30 or so pages of finished artwork, and say, "yeah, I created that." Now that, that is what I crave, so I'll keep going.

What I won't do is what I did last week and give myself 7 days to draw something I loathe without any guidance. Not only did I decide to not do that, (instead, I spent my free time writing a completely unrelated fanfic) but I lost a lot of the motivation that held before.

So! From now on I won't give myself deadlines.

I want to speed things up. There's been a lot of beating around the bush, and not actually drawing the comic, so to fix that I will be blending stages 2 and 3 together. There is absolutely no reason not to create the thumbnails as I'm doing the page formatting.

I'm closing the current poll as well. I'll announce the results in my next post. The good news is that Tumblr introduced polls directly on the site, so I'll be sticking with that the next time I run one of 'em.

Lastly, I still want to thank you for sticking by, liking the posts, or simply viewing them. I will be turning my personal notifications off for everything beyond asks submissions, since I don't want to get into the slump of feeling like I'm doing this for notes, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate you taking your time out of your day to peek into my little bubble.

This is a super spur of the moment post, but as I go through the rewrites, I felt compelled to sketch a few of the monster prostitutes that briefly appear in chapter two. Why? I think because I'm spiraling.

The many versions of summer…erm—Frisk lol.

The Salt Circle https://archiveofourown.org/works/35240278/chapters/87819139

hope things are going well!

I am so sorry for the past 2 weeks of silence! I was bit by the writing bug as I was in the middle of drawing page 3 that I had to stop everything and write a few things down...and a few things turned into a few pages, that turned into a few chapters, and now I'm about half way through a rough draft for an original novel!

That said, this project is not dead! I just needed to unplug for a bit to keep my focus in check. I hope to return to drawing after I finish this draft (just 9 more chapters currently). Once I'm done we'll pick up where we left off, and I'll make an attempt to at least get through the first two scenes before falling off the map again. Fingers crossed!

I swear I suck at accountability.

Post #28 - Some Sonic Sketches

♫ - What I’m currently listening to.

This isn't a Sonic blog, I know, I know, but I sketched these a bit ago for a Discord server I'm no longer in, so I figured I might as well post them for the world to see. While I'm at it, I'll plug my Sonic fic. Now am I saying this is what the characters look like in the story? Not sure since I describe them as their usual canon selves in terms of appearance, so actually probably not. But for now, this is just one of many of my interpretations. :)

So, I was going back and forth with myself on whether or not to show Gaster's face in this segment of the comic. I decided to reveal him despite the chance that keeping him cloaked in shadow could add to the intimation of his character. I was going to get all poetic and artsy with depicting him as an actual terrifying monster, but I think just keeping it simple helps to ground the comic.

What do you guys think about him and his design?
