How's That Discord Coming Along? 👀

Post #23 - Fawn's Cover

♫ - What I’m currently listening to.

The month of June has passed and don't I just feel exhausted. I scheduled way more traveling than I could realistically handle, so lesson learned. Now that I'm back home, it's time to get to work. I want July to be a month of art—yes! A month to put this first chapter to rest, and who knows, maybe I'll decide to just make this a comic and screw the fanfic portion altogether.

I'm just a bit burned out from writing at the moment.

That said, this cover is very much inspired by flash punky, emotional, heavy-feels types of art. Now is Fawn gonna be any of that? Shit, I don't know, but I had a ton of fun drawing it so here we are.

I decided to end Chapter 1 on the previous post so the story doesn't feel rushed. That means we begin drawing the final drafts today, so yay! I get to find a consistent art style that I'll be forced to stick with. I will also be editing some of the text in order to better weave a coherent narrative as the enormous gaps of time between some posts have made it difficult to follow exactly what the heck is going on. The updated pages will be in chunks of five to make readability more seamless, and once we get up to page 20, we'll do the long scrolling format.

If this comic didn't revolve around pedophilia I would consider just uploading to Webtoons, but alas, it'd quickly get the boot.

Post #20 - A Friend Indeed

♫ - What I’m currently listening to.

Last week something absolutely amazing happened; I got back in touch with my very good friend on Discord! Before then it’s been a year since we last spoke, so I was very much convinced that that would be it; our friendship cherished, but otherwise mesmerized in the past. I’m really happy we are talking again!

Above, and below, is artwork I drew for two (of many) UT roleplays we have written together. The one above has inspired the writing of The Worst Kinda Curse, even though the main character in the original roleplay was not Alphys. The swampy monster town in Louisiana is straight out of it though. I would share the details, but as I consider it, I realize these are stories we wrote in private and just for our own enjoyment.

The artwork for the above was an AU of the Underground being a religious dictatorship with human slaves. We created a whole new world together and piecing the canon characters into more dubious roles was something I enjoyed tremendously.

Fun times!

She has drawn a ton of gorgeous art as well, her skills are off the charts, but I feel as though it is hers to share if she so chooses to.

I’m grateful to have you as a friend @stickorstones. I hope we can continue to write stories together and create more fond memories!

do we every find out who gastor was upset at? were they a skeleton? or retired colleague?

We will find out who this mysterious someone is, and eventually what happens to them, later on. It won’t be in this chapter though, so if I only draw this first one and write the rest we won’t get to have visuals on them. If I don’t draw anymore chapters I’ll be sure to at least draw this mysterious someone after they are revealed.

And that makes the end of scene 2! I wanted to get the first page of scene 3 out before my hiatus, but we'll need to wait until I return. We have about 3-2.5 more scenes to go. I'm excited to make it through the drafting process. If I stick to my plan, chapter 1 will be about 25 pages, give or take. Once that's done, we will start to color. I'm thinking about using the same coloring technique as this post.

Anyway, wish me luck on draft 2 of my book! Hopefully, it doesn't take me too long.

See you soon! :)

Now the poll is unavailable?

Gah! I give up.

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…

tumblr has the dumbs in asks.

Typical Tumblr…*shakes head*.

So here is where I will stop the first chapter because...*drum roll*...Fawn is going to remain a comic! The past week and half of uploads have shown me that it is possible to get a good 20+ pages done, and not feel overwhelmed, so I'm in it for the long haul!

Of course, this doesn't guarantee frequent uploads, but it does mean that I'm moving the goalpost for myself with the hope of finishing chapter 3 by the end of the year. It also means we'll get to visually see all characters introduced in Lugubriosity, which will be a ton of fun for me to reimagine.

So! The next step is getting that scrolling page done and making a post linking to it. Once that's completed, I'll continue to post lumps of finished pages of future chapters, as I've been doing with chapter 1, to allow you guys to give feedback before everything is transferred to the page scrolls. Sounds pretty nice, huh?

Also, what do you guys think of Starlah? Does she play a big role in future events? Maybe, maybe not, but gosh if she isn't a fun way to envision the birth of a gas giant.
