Frisk was pretty clueless in Lugubriosity. Some of that naivety came from being a child, and some from memory loss. Without her knowledge of the past RESETs, Frisk was literally thrown into a world of the unknown. What are your opinions on Frisk being left in the dark? I debated allowing her to remember—at the very least she should remember Sans, but then again, she has Chara, so is it really necessary?

So let's quickly discuss the above. The last scene will happen slowly. We'll get environmental shots, background monsters interacting with Papyrus, so we'll get some establishing scenes. I want the community's perception of Papyrus to be very clear (regardless of whether it's admiration or fear). Perhaps we'll see a glimpse of Alphys? Perhaps Undyne? Perhaps not. It won't be long before he's in Snowdin's forest.

And then he sees her.

We have done it! We have reached the end of stage one. Despite this being small, I feel like it's a great victory. I definitely didn't think I would keep my attention on this project for as long as I did. Let's cross our fingers and hope I can keep it up! I'm also curious to know your thoughts on the plans for chapter 1.

I will be taking a bit of a break from daily posting. I want to get a few chapters written and up for my Sonic fanfic. Considering all of my free time has gone to working on Fawn, I think stepping back and taking a small breather before diving in head first into stage two might be best!

And lastly, I want to give a big thank you to everyone following along and even adding their feedback! It's exciting to know people have opinions on the story and want to help shape it.

Took a bit to find my motivation but found it, I wanted to try and draw Silvers explosive imagination scene since I read it. I know it rough looking but hey, I’m rather happy with the result.

This is absolutely amazing! I love how hectic his expression is. I’m really happy with the results as well.

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. :)

Post #12 - A Simple Silhouette Exercise

♫ - What I’m currently listening to.

✔ - Vote in the poll.

I want to start by saying that this exercise (found here) was easy enough to complete during the few down hours I had today, so it makes for a decent warm-up. We were to sketch out a few cityscape silhouettes using basic shapes and then detail the best one. I made only three sketches and picked the silhouette that I found fit the Underground aesthetic the most.

This exercise was fun!

It definitely helped to better shape the skeleton of a city in a quick, yet appealing, manner. Despite that, I feel like I could've done more today, but I'm at least patting myself on the back for getting a blog post out there (the bare minimum, I know). I had such little time to do much today. I hadn't yet researched the map of the Underground or really taken a moment to find noteworthy references. Hopefully, with a bit more time on my hands, we can start strong tomorrow by finishing the Clipstudio tutorial.

The above (if it sends right) is a good example of the scrolling format I'd love to use. I rewrote a ton of things, as well as changed the narrator to add a bit of that UT charm. What do you think about the coloring? Do you think it's too dull, too harsh? Too messy, or not messy enough?

Maybe it's fine and I'm just over-exaggerating.

Post #17 - Reference Sheet

♫ - What I’m currently listening to.

Okay, I need a bit of consistency in the comic, so I decided to just quickly sketch up a base idea of what each character (well the main three) should look like throughout. I'm still stuck on finding a good skin shade for Frisk. I know she's supposed to be dark skin, but I still want the hint of that yellow we see the original model have—gah! Maybe we should just forget about adding a hint of yellow and just keep her a very realistic human color? Is the color above realistic? I think it looks okay, but then I don't. I'm too indecisive. This will just have to be a future me problem.

Also! Drawing Sans sucks major balls. My brain wants to draw a skull, like a human skull, but you see, Sans does not have a human skull. He has a cartoon character skull—face actually because I swear to God, its just... I can't do what I did with Papyrus (God, I enjoy drawing Papyrus). We can't go all realistic for Sans otherwise he doesn't flipping look like Sans! He looks like some random skeleton unrelated to Undertale. He has this stupid peanut head that I just want to squeeze and watch it pop! Fuck Sans. Fuck Sans right to hell.

Wow, I feel so much better after getting that off my chest.

Anyway, I was going to include this whole explanation of how much I want the setting of the Underground to be super low income Americana, inner-city in some areas, rural trailer park in others, motel baby, RV vagabonds bumming gas from strangers, blah, blah, blah. Would this be moving far away from base Undertale? Sure, I guess. Yeah, maybe. Do people want to see me bring all my transgressive edgelord shit into a very unrelated franchise? I suppose that's a yes? I mean, I did a bit of that with Lugubriosity, but I'm talking about going all out with my art and this story. I've been holding back, trying to keep things to what people are used to? God, I don't know, but I really wanna explore more. I want to get dirty and grimy with my artwork, spread my fuzzy moth wings and tear into some old fabric in the nearest linen closet, you know, not so pretty.

Here are few inspirational pictures for what I mean:

I love it. I wanna draw it, write about it, just consume it in all my media. But is it appropriate for Undertale? Perhaps not. Perhaps so. I'm torn on what I want to do, and now I'm just ranting and rambling. Half of me wishes I just stuck to writing, but then another half really wants to see this story visualized.

I guess I should just get the rough draft done and see what happens next. I already butchered this beloved franchise so what's a little more? I'm curious if others care to see this in the story? Otherwise, I could just get super dark and dirty with an original idea whenever I get around to it.

woah, i just had to say, i was reading "immature intrest" on a03, and you genuinely might be one of the best writers i have ever come across on that site. originally, when i saw the tags, i was scared it was going to be another weird insane fetish fic that i was going to traumatize myself with 😭 but holy shi u blew me away dude. its so well written, and ur ability to write such complex subjects is astonishing. its the first time im very avidly following a fic! im js hoping for a happy ending 😭

Aww! Thank you so much for this very kind comment. I will admit that Immature Interests was just one factor that inspired me to try my hand at an original novel. I’m letting my creativity run wild while still sticking closely to a plot. It’s a hard story to write, but one one that I enjoy.

Thanks again for reading, and I definitely have a happy ending planed for this story! :D

happy easter!

I might be reading this super late, but Happy Easter to you too! 🐰 🥚

The longest a Tumblr poll can last is about a week, so unfortunately that is the time limit for this poll. By the end of the week this post will be deleted, and the results will determine Sonia’s fate. I’ll be sure to post the results in the Fanfic.

Thanks again for 20k hits!
