💥THE ADVENTURES OF CROSSBONES AND LADY SPRING 💥 Episode 2

Year of the Dragon.

Thank you @greedy621 for the text font!

Hey/

Did you see 6 skeletons 1 maid updated?

Thoughts?

I was saving this ask to make a little comic of how that last chapter felt but- lets say it didn't turn out how i wanted. Instead, i just dug out some of my old Maid-chan drawings and stared at them blankly for the next days.

I'm still particularly fixed on this one little page:

Mister Green was my absolute favorite and the only light i saw at the end of her tunnel. He was so kind and sweet, and pretty much the only one that treated her like a person (besides Yellow of course). When i first read this fic so many years ago i didn't trully realized the dark tone of this story but i still chose the only "healthy" option. I wanted MC to be happy and free, and oh how i wanted him to give her that. I held those drawings of him for years imagining a chapter where they would encounter again and that would drive her to a better ending (either skeletons overcoming their issues and treating her with respect or him taking her away).

But then this final chapter appeared and it was... a thing.

(Kinda spoilers for the babes that haven't read it)

First of all, I FINALLY GOT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AFTER BEACH CHAPTERS OMG I NEEDED THAT

Second of all, it didn't look good at all and it was getting worse as I read. But then good because it was a week alone for her to rest and Sans was eating with her?? But also that whole scene reminded me how bad her situation really was so it actually wasn't good at all.

And then the scene that broke me.

I was aware that I wanted her to flee before, but I never thought she could.

It was oddly satisfying, if not a bit anxiety inducing because of the thought that they would caught her eventually. As always.

But then Asgore, and Orange. And nothing...

I got mad that he found her. Which was a weird feeling since I remember liking him a lot. It felt to me like he ruined her good enough ending. But despite that, it makes sense it was him so I don't complain.

What crushed me though, wasn't that she couldn't say goodbye or that Sans got tired of trying to get her back. It was the fact the Gs didn't even try looking for her. They didn't even got mentioned. What happened there, I wonder. Didn't they like her? Care for her? Mister Green wrote her letters, of course he liked her. But then why...?

Suddenly he looked like a fairytale.

The ending was great, finally lending her the ability to choose. It made absolutely everything worth it and the way it was written made me feel like I do have a say in the matter. And for the first time, i didn't choose the skeletons.

I realized she could find her happy ending alone.

(My live reaction)

Rolling in once more to ask if you have any tips for drawing sans and papyrus head? Just really like how expressive you managed to make them

I'm one to change things on a whim, so this is not a rule and you'll probably catch me experimenting from time to time ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

About expressions, I firmly believe they rely on their eyelights and brow bones the most!

"They can't stop smiling because they're skeletons", and showing emotions under a permanent smile is difficult, so I interpret that as "they always show teeth because they're skeletons".

Those who have eyelights like Sans can dilate or contract them, which is amazing for showing how they're feeling at all times.

Exaggerating the position of brow bones can help accentuate that.

Sockets work like eyelids, another great thing to exaggerate (in case they don't have eyelights, like Papyrus, I go cartoony and let them work like pupils moving from side to side pfpfpf)

Mouths can help still, the edges of their teeth moving upwards or downwards or even like lips just for the sake of expressing. It doesn't makes sense, but 👀

And wrinkles! I know they're bones (weird malleable monster skellies 👍) but adding that extra bit of lines under their sockets, around their nose bridge, between their brow bones and their mouth when they're furious, shocked or very tired works wonders.

And as a bonus:

But y'know, that's how I do it. Every artist is different and I'm still figuring how to draw them myself. My first Horror was veeeeery different from the one I have now omg

Some Undertale drawings I made because I was feeling nostalgic

I LOVE THEM THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN AAAH 😭🤎😭

Esha took a photoshoot with the skeleton brothers! They all seemed very happy!

Esha by @shinyeclair thank you for providing the funds to do this photoshoot~

Here is Esha's proper ref post ~ ! Arts by the amazing @erineas 🧡 ~ ! Weird ass ref layout by me

💚 Esha is set in a post-pacifist route where the characters live on the surface. She gets a job at Toriel’s school and becomes friends with her, Alphys, and Frisk before gradually getting to know the other main characters.

She’s a support character who helps the cast integrate into surface life (culture, history, fun facts, sociology, etc.).

Esha spends a lot of time with the Papyrus-Sans-Undyne-Alphys quartet.

She’s deeply interested in the culture, history, and sociology of monsters, which she studies on her own while asking questions.

It’s a sort of constant cultural exchange as she forms strong and genuine bonds with the cast, helping them grow while they also help her grow in return. In the meantime, my little Esha finally got her signature outfit & body ref ! It was interesting and a bit challenging to choose her a signature look since clothing says so much about a character. At first glance, you should be able to "feel" who they are. We're super happy with the result !

Bad boys, bad boys-

Whatchya gonna do-

I LOVE HIS FACE, HE HAS A REALLY CUTE FACE, I WAS ALREADY DOWN BAD FOR HIM BUT- please @mothiepixie 😳😳😳

I want him to look at me with that smile hhhhhh

He's perfect

Outertale Blue Spring is named Ether Waltz
