Post #10 - A Deer In The Snow

Post #14 - The Faces of Frisk

♫ - What I’m currently listening to.

I went to my first convention this past weekend. It was definitely an experience seeing people in cosplay in real life—I even dared to dress up. While there, I came across so much inspiration for my art that sparks flew through my brain. It was definitely a much-needed trip.

So enough of that! I have finally gotten around to sketching out different ideas for Frisk. These are just rough drafts that mainly play around with hairstyles, (she will still wear the signature bangs and bob. Option B is simply my fun little way of showing her face) and skin shades. I'm open to keeping her a Simpsons yellow too so anyone can easily see themselves in her—or maybe not considering her circumstances lol!

Either way, I think it would be fun to vote on it! (once I figure out how to create a poll, that is).

The previous poll appears to be neck and neck with a suggested AU and an original AU (based on the comments and the poll numbers). We will create from scratch to keep things simple while heavily referencing Underfell, that way we are technically doing both options. Below are the results.

Thanks again to everyone who voted! Once I figure out how to embed a poll in this post I will make an edit to include it. In the meantime, if you like any of the options, feel free to comment, and your vote or suggestion will be noted.

Edit: I’m stupid, all I had to do was edit this post to get a poll in—not create a whole new one. Hahaha…

"I will be going on hiatus on March 15th to edit an original novel." what the novel?

Yes! I will be starting draft 2 of edits on my original novel on that date. It might take me longer than draft 1 since my only focus on the first go was getting the base story on the page. The sentence structures and proses went completely ignored, so you can imagine the state it’s currently in.

I won’t reveal the title of the novel as, currently, I think it’s best to separate my real life pen name from the fanfics, but it will have a lot of the usual elements I write about, just toned down a bit. I love magical realism, and I adore writing about the supernatural; monstrous creatures in our world. I also love writing about the real dark struggles everyday people face. The gritty, the gruesome, the gory too! My bookshelf is filled to the brim with transgressive stories, so much so that I currently have towers of books near my desk that I haven’t yet read, and that I don’t have room for, but felt compelled to buy. It’s an addiction for sure, so I think the darker, icky parts of life will never escape my stories even if I’m writing about 8 feet tall eyeball-headed angels with long sharp fingers and polished marble skin, or aliens, or skeletons because I love skeletons and one day I’ll have a story that I can publish that totally has not-Sans and not-Papyrus in it.

The original novel will have a lot of what you might be used to in my fics, so even though I cannot share the series title or my author name, once book one is published, who knows? You just might come across it in the wild and recognize the themes I love to write about, and if you do, it’ll be a second chance encounter. :)

has gastor even done scans of the fallen children bones? and has papyrus ask for a copy for creepy reasons?

Good question! I’d say yes Gaster has, but Papyrus hasn’t yet found them. He’ll be in for a pleasant surprise once he does. Just the simple image of little bones (even dead ones) will bring him back to the first time he watched that cygnet twirl.

are their any plans to show off other projects like the salt circle then just fawn related things?

Sorry I’m answering this super late. Tumblr is a bit wonky with the notifications after I turned off the follower alerts (I have been getting back to back bots flooding my notifications that it just became tiresome to block them all).

Will I expand to other projects? I have been thinking about it. It would be a lot of fun to draw the comparisons between the different Sans, Papyri, and Frisks/Charas. I’d also love to showcase the island and the odd infrastructure found within. I’m currently in a mood for experimentation, and I plan to release a blog post soon that will explore the different cultural aesthetics I wish to visually represent in my Undertale stories.

So! Will I expand? As of right now, I don’t know. I need to prove to myself that I can get this project done. If I reach that goal I’d be more than willing to move onto sketches and renditions for The Salt Circle. It would even be fun to recreate a chapter or two in comic form.

hi! just wondering, when will the next chapter of immature interest come out?

Very good question since I’ve been a very neglectful author. 😅 I plan on working on the rough draft for the next chapter tomorrow. If my writers block doesn’t kick me in the gut, we just might have the next chapter by this weekend.

Ignore that. The poll is still available…

Okay, so I know this is only two pages, but I really wanted to keep up the daily posts while my attention is honed in on this. Do you guys think the tone is a bit too comedic? I know I'm asking a million questions, but the feedback is really helping to shape the comic.

Post #25 - Lizard Daddy

♫ - What I’m currently listening to.

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 #18 or 19 - Get Sans Right!

♫ - What I’m currently listening to.

okay, so as I was sketching out the next page of the comic, I had to stop! I wanted to really get a handle on Sans so I have less work to do when I'm drawing the finished draft—sure, that's part of it. Another part of it was this strong urge to just get him right for his sake. Like, really right.

So how the heck am I supposed to do that?

I went right down to the bare bones (ha!). I didn't want to get too influenced by all the very impressive fan art out there, and there's just too much to count on this very website, so I used the original Sans sprite as a reference (I realize my version appears as if his arms were cut at the elbows. We'll just silently ignore that...). I then drew a real skeleton because my brain has a hard time with properly tying the two together. I suppose what I mean is, I try to imagine what the monsters of the Underground would look like in our real world, and also with a more humanoid appearance, so when I see Sans I naturally compare him to what is inside our meat suit despite him being a cartoon who should have the freedom to flourish in his art style. Its hard, I'll tell ya that! But I made an attempt here to try something that aligns more with what I want for the comic.

Maybe this will be the final look? I love to see this version of Sans having a more urban fashion sense, aggressive personality, and a bad drug problem that leaks into all aspects of his life. I'm definitely pulling from the images I included in this post, and honestly? I think we need more poverty polish applied to his bones.

I kind of want to make a similar character sheet for more of the UT cast. All in due time...

The First Ten!

♫ - What I’m currently listening to.

Wow! So I can’t believe it’s only been about a week and I’ve already passed 10 followers! This is such exciting news as it lets me know that, yes, people do want to see this project come to life. I want to thank everyone who provided any form of reaction and feedback. It truly means the world to me. 

Here’s to 10 more follows!

Also, I noticed that my last post is doing really well. It surpassed 20 notes, and I must find out why. I assume it’s Gaster’s doing. Damn you sexy abusive bastard! 

Also, also, behold Alphys above. I bet you want more of her, huh? It’s okay, I got you covered. Don’t mind me as I casually slide you a link to The Worst Kinda Curse.
