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...

Okay! So I know I said in this story update that I would wait until after my vacation to get started on this project, but I have been absolutely obsessing over plotting this out that I just couldn’t help it. I felt fired up, so what better way to kick things off than with some nude (please don't kill me Tumblr) sketches of fire sprites? I’m debating whether or not to push a more monster or human element to their designs while still keeping them recognizable.
Grillby had a total of three appearances in Lugubriosity, yet he helped move the plot along way more than I was initially planning. I'm still on the fence about whether or not Fawn should be a sequel or a soft reboot, but I definitely want to handle him in a more fleshed out way this go around.
Fuku, on the other hand, has had it rough since her brief introduction. Like her uncle, (father? Whatever the fuck he is to her in the story) she's only had three appearances, and served as nothing more than a damsel in distress. I’ll definitely need to change that.
I hope to eventually get a poll up to see if they should stay as tertiary characters, or play more of a significant role in our fucked up plot. I guess we'll have to see.
On a closing note; haha! I knew I wasn't the only one who got creepy vibes from Papyrus! Toby was soooo gonna make him a perv at first. See for yourselves.

Thank you so much, angela1066, for bringing this gem to my attention.

As I am preparing to sketch out the last scene for chapter one, I have been reading through highlight chapters in Lugubriosity. This chapter had particularly caught my eye since we get a bit more insight on Papyrus’ crimes. Only Papyrus didn't abusing several children alone, he had help.
Which brings me to one question; how involved was Undyne really?
I’d like to imagine someone who doesn't already have pedophilic tendencies wouldn't dare to help in such horrendous crimes regardless if they wanted to impress their emotionally abusive mother. In other words, Undyne was likely a pedophile as well, perhaps one who didn't have a strict child attraction. Should this be explored more in Fawn? It isn't typical for females to develop such a paraphilia, and even less likely for them to act on them, but then again, working with Papyrus had provided her with plenty of opportunities to offend.
Perhaps Undyne isn't a pedophile but just a heartless sociopath with no care for the well being of children—only she's depicted as showing guilt in this chapter.
Ah, musings, musings.
Anyway, I thought I’d show some of the more animal victims of the two. We have Hunny and two unnamed girls. Should they also be present in Fawn, or should Papyrus have only one victim and that being Frisk? Maybe Frisk isn’t his first, but rather the one that he fell in love with? Maybe Papyrus and Undyne developed their friendship through their lust of little girls? Maybe, just maybe.
Chara, as the split personality, could still play a significant role, in my opinion. I vaguely recall her taking command once she was alone in the house and proceeding to search for weapons and plot potential escape routes. I believe that if Gaster's cult remains as it was, it would certainly spice things up if Gaster began noticing total 180s in Frisk's demeanor through his cameras. It could be like a psychological game in which the two try to outwit each other. Chara wants out, G wants control
I really like this! You also make a good point about Chara occasionally taking over to attempt to escape, and I did originally have plans regarding her killing Papyrus when I first started writing Lugubriousity. Not to say that she will or won’t since that would be spoiling the story!
Thanks a lot for the suggestion. I think we’ll keep Chara as a voice in Frisk’s head.

First, I want to thank everyone for such warm reception for the last page of chapter one of FAWN. Seeing all the reblogs and likes just lit up my whole week.
Now onto the topic of this blog. As I was reading through Lugubriousity to prepare for the next chapter of the comic, I realized just how sloppy the story is. Yes, I know this very fact is the reason I started this project in the first place, but I feel so compelled to just clean things up, make it better. That’s what I’m currently doing. I will be releasing a PDF containing the first part of the story soon, before moving onto the second part, and lastly the third part sometime afterwards. I already wrote three new chapters for the beginning of part one, and I’m in the process of editing the rest to create a more comprehensive narrative.
The characters are going to have personalities much closer to canon, the setting of the Underground is more expanded and complex, and I will hopefully rid the fic of its many plot holes. Oh! And it’s no longer told in the Underfell universe, but a standalone one uniquely for Lugubriousity/FAWN. All previous tags still apply, so major content warning. I’m excited to get this out for readers to enjoy.
These 3 PDFs will be the new “canon” narrative that the comics will draw from.
That doesn’t mean I will be taking down the original, no not at all! It will stay up on Ao3 for all to read and enjoy, and in order for me to track my writing progress.
Now I have a question for you guys; should I upload the rewrite to Ao3, or only stick with the PDF copies that anyone can pass around and do with as they wish (beyond sell since I believe that is illegal for fanfiction)?

♫ - More music because why the hell not.
I'm totally overposting today, but I found this! And omg! I really like the art style I was going for with it. I think that's Edge (left) and Stretch (right).
Anyway, I need to get out of that folder, because I found a "manga" I was working on (what the fuck!!!!) as well as like art from an old Instagram account from my first year of college that I can't even remember if I deleted or not. But man if that art isn't edgyyyy.
oh yeah, baby...wasn't I just cringe, but I'm loving it. I'm here for it.
I might need to make a second blog to dump all this art onto. So maybe this will be the last un-fanfic related thing on this account? Idk man. That'll take work and there isn't like a rule against shitting up my own feed with art that has fuck all to do with Fawn, right? Right?!?! What are rules anyway?
ETA: I also found flipping porn I drew of Sans getting—okay! So anyway that probably won’t see the light of day.
tumblr has the dumbs in asks.
Typical Tumblr…*shakes head*.
Gah! UNDER CONSTRUCTION! Everything is perpetually under construction…18+For Context Read "Lugubriosity"
