And here is Asgore...two weeks later lol.

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.

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.

The many versions of summer…erm—Frisk lol.

Congratulations Frisk C! The people have spoken and you have been chosen. I think she will be my favorite Frisk to draw as designing this piece was so much fun. She's pretty, she's cute, she's pretty cute and now I only want the absolute best for her.

Death to Papyrus if he dares to take her innocence.

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…

so when does sans get his crush on papyrus?

Good question. I’d say that, just like in Lugubriousity, Sans will have a thing for his brother starting in adolescence. I don’t know if he should abuse him (like he apparently did in the previous story, but it’s hard to tell if Papyrus was a reliable narrator when he was ranting about what Sans did to him in this chapter). Depending on the AU, their relationship might be a little rocky or completely septic.

Perhaps Sans gets high to numb his guilt.

Last page of the scene! We got one more scene to go.

Sorry I'm taking so long to get these posts out. I still have so much going on in my life that this comic is such a low priority for me at the moment. I still have plans of finishing what I started before the end of this year, so I'm not giving up! We still have about six months to go. Once we get through the rough draft, that's when the real trial begins.

Oh, how fun.

Post #13 - For the Love of Art or the Love of Money?

♫ - What I’m currently listening to.

TL;DR - I will no longer give myself deadlines, and we will be blending formatting and thumbnailing together in order to get the ball rolling on the comic.

I joke all the time and say that if I don't want to follow through with something, I should set a deadline. This joke has been a way to avoid beating myself up after another project goes on hold, or another plan isn't followed. I suppose I am unreliable—I'd moan, only to realize this usually applies to personal projects I do for fun and not the other aspects of my life.

Fawn, and every fanfic I write, should be for fun.

I can say it currently is fun, but recently I feel myself growing stressed whenever I think about it. I've been dreading creating posts—absolutely hating the idea of it, so I've been avoiding it altogether. Social media has never been my specialty, and the few times that I forced myself to give it a try I often got caught up in the numbers, the engagement, and the thirst for attention. It's bad for mental health, so I taught myself to put it away, to use it only as a bystander and not as a "content creator".

I don't want this to be that way. I genuinely want to see this comic to the end if only for myself and no one else. It would feel good to look at 30 or so pages of finished artwork, and say, "yeah, I created that." Now that, that is what I crave, so I'll keep going.

What I won't do is what I did last week and give myself 7 days to draw something I loathe without any guidance. Not only did I decide to not do that, (instead, I spent my free time writing a completely unrelated fanfic) but I lost a lot of the motivation that held before.

So! From now on I won't give myself deadlines.

I want to speed things up. There's been a lot of beating around the bush, and not actually drawing the comic, so to fix that I will be blending stages 2 and 3 together. There is absolutely no reason not to create the thumbnails as I'm doing the page formatting.

I'm closing the current poll as well. I'll announce the results in my next post. The good news is that Tumblr introduced polls directly on the site, so I'll be sticking with that the next time I run one of 'em.

Lastly, I still want to thank you for sticking by, liking the posts, or simply viewing them. I will be turning my personal notifications off for everything beyond asks submissions, since I don't want to get into the slump of feeling like I'm doing this for notes, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate you taking your time out of your day to peek into my little bubble.

Post #6 - Storm’s Brewing

♫ - What I’m currently listening to.

↦ Next Post

His father marched out of that dance studio with thunderclouds above his skull. “Ungrateful bitch!” He spat under his breath. “If she thinks she can worm out of this just willy-nilly, then she’s dumber than she looks.” The mumbling went on for half a mile. 

Neither Sans nor Papyrus dared to interrupt their father’s tantrum. They followed like a silent shadow, both knowing they’ll probably get it once they got home. What would “it” consist of exactly? It was hard to tell when their father was sober. If the boy were lucky, they’ll only get a smack across the face. 

Scene two will be the shortest, and mainly consist of Gaster fuming because of an off-screen conversation that went south. We won’t get a glimpse of what the boys are thinking, but my goal is to tell a story through the visuals (which is what a comic is, but this is definitely my first crack at it). It would be neat to slip in some world building background shots too. 

I’m torn on whether or not Gaster looks like Gaster. I asked my sister, and she didn’t know who he was, (ha!)  but after I showed her some examples of the character she was on the fence. As a layperson with zero experience of the fandom, she could at least recognize him as being Gaster with a slight variation. What about for fans with knowledge of the character? Would it be obvious, or a bit of a stretch?

I suppose we'll just have to wait and see.
