“He’s Escaping…” W.I.P.

Here is the rough draft of one of the alternate personalities for my OC. She is dog demon, specifically a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.

Basically when a personality takes control, they get to create their physical body instead of sharing the main personality’s appearance.

This is personality is known to be overly affectionate and loving. She comes off as clingy and has an “innocent” demeanor (mainly doesn’t understand “adult” topics). She easily falls in love and will follow you like a lost puppy.

She craves attention and physical touch, and will do anything to get that. She definitely likes receiving praise and compliments, making her tail wag like crazy.

Still thinking of a name for the characters.

Ask Neue & AU Variants!

While working on the designs of Neue & AU Variants, along with their overall character, you all can ask questions/suggestions to the characters or me.

Most of these will probably be answered through text, but I might draw a few of the characters answering the questions.

You can either leave questions on this blog or through my profile.

Should I make a Gravity Falls OC? [UPDATE]

So the poll still has 3 days left, but I decided to change 2 out of the 5 characters: specifically the succubus & runaway test experiment.

I felt like they wouldn’t work well in Gravity Falls, plus I couldn’t fit them well with a story idea for these characters.

I replaced the succubus with…..a unicorn! Yes, the same unicorn species from The Last Mabelcorn. I thought their interactions with the other characters would be more comical. They still have the same “abilities” as the unicorns from the show, but I decided to add a few more:

Able to transform into a human, but still has the original color of their mane & eyes.

Can create rainbows (this would evolve into something else later).

Can create unlimited amount of glitter from horn or hands.

Able to “magically” lift small objects with horn, can lift bigger objects/people but takes more energy.

Actually has the ability to see the morality of a soul, but they are unaware of this power.

Next I replaced the experiment with, hear me out…..a dog! Now for a better explanation, this is a scientist in a dog body, this is a result of a failed experiment. The backstory is a bit long, but a simplified version is that they were researching & testing out ways to expand the human life. This obviously failed, but also kinda succeeded. But that’ll be explained later.

I’m also working on their basic information, like what they do, their names, backstory, etc.

I’ll start doing concept art for these characters when the poll is closer to being done.

Mabel Design & What’s next?

I’m currently working on a character sheet that will show/explain a few of Mati’s powers/abilities. This upcoming one will have some uncanny valley sort of elements, which some might find disturbing.

I’ll be using Mabel, & the Pines in general, to showcase Mati’s abilities.

I’m still working on the sheet but for now, here’s an outline of my Mabel design:

Why are braces so hard to draw!?

Could you please tag for horror/ unsettling?

Of course! Sorry for that.

Colored Lineart of Stanley Pines

Here is the colored version of my version of Stanley Pines for Mati’s impersonation character sheet.

I played with the colors a bit so they’re not gonna match the original exactly, I tried to use colors from the clothes worn when Stan was younger (mainly kid & adult).

I’m trying something a bit different with his fez, I tried to combine the 1st & 2nd symbol on his fez, it looks like a fish with an eye in its mouth. Does the blue iris on the fez stand out too much & should I add white around said iris/fish mouth to make it look more like an eye?

Neue & AU Variants: Clothing Rough Draft Pt.2/6

Here are of the clothing rough drafts for Miriam, Avenir, & Crimson.

Miriam

Avenir

Crimson

Avenir gave me the most trouble when creating his outfit, but Crimson was nostalgic since I based his coat off the one my great grandpa gave me.

Dusttale: Revived | Character Concepts Pt.3

Here are my takes on a froggit & a whimsun.

I’ve never drawn a frog-based character before, so sorry if the portions look weird. While for the froggit I didn’t based them off a specific frog, I based the whimsun off the Hummingbird Hawk Moth.

Hopscotch

Hopscotch, or Hoppy, works as the supply runner & delivery for the Underground. They deliver messages, food, or even resources for the DT injections.

Hoppy is down-to-earth & has a somewhat “southern” charm. While they’re unable to verbally understand what others are saying (& vice versa), they do understand the general vibe that the individual is saying. Though other froggits, amphibian-based & some insect-based monsters can understand each other relatively well.

Before anyone asks, Hopscotch is not “pregnant” with a tadpole, it’s much worse.

Wyllow

Wyllow “works” as extra eyes & hears for supply runners, mainly works with Hopscotch.

Wyllow is afraid of almost everything, probably their own shadow. If she gets spooked during a run, she’ll hide in Hoppy’s backpack or just run away if the bag is full. Though she does try to comfort others if they’re scared as well, but ends up just becoming a stuttering mess.

Some monsters will sometimes use her as a plushie due to how soft her fluff is.

While working on the headshot rough drafts for the AU variants of Neue, I’m also brainstorming on some concepts for, I guess a reimagining of a few AUs. This is not me trying to “improve” the original AU, it’s just me wanting to have some fun & doing my take of other AUs.

This is gonna be a veeeeeerrry looooong post.

The main 2 I’ll be working on are Horrortale & Dusttale.

I wanted to get opinions & suggestions for these concepts before delving too deep into these ideas. Please tell your thoughts on this & if I need to change/improve on.

Horrortale will be more appearance-based, meaning that I won’t be doing a lot of story building & it’s more of just redesigning the characters to look more “monstrous”. Basically they’ll be more animalistic or feral & their bodies would have gone through heavy changes to “adapt”.

*This is literally an excuse to draw the characters as big & scary horror movie style “monsters”. I guess this would make it similar to the Underworld AU, but the story or origin for the change would be similar to Horrortale, but takes place even further after the Neutral Route*

For right now, I’ve been calling this AU of an AU: Feral!Horrortale. But a few others are Dwellertale/Underdwell, Undercave/Cavetale, Carnitale & or Undermaw.

I’ve written a few ideas for their overall appearance based on Nocturnal & Cave-Adapted animals. I won’t list all of them otherwise this post will be way too long, but here are a few:

Eyes

Will become bigger

Pupils will become extremely dilated

Will become blind, either with cloudy Pupils or losing their eyes completely

Mouth

Jaw becomes much stronger

Able to be unhinged

Senses

Becomes extremely sensitive to light

Scent of smell & hearing will become much more heightened

May develop echolocation due to loss of sight

General Appearance

Depending on location, those in colder areas will become bigger, while those living in hotter areas will become smaller

Aging will slow down, longer lifespan

Psychological Changes

Will become much more aggressive & animalistic/feral

Start to communicate through nonverbal communication: clicking, chirps, barks, croaks, etc.

These are just a few of concepts for this version of Horrortale.

For Dusttale, it’ll be more story-based, but will have some illustrations here & there. The main differences is that Vani would be from this version & would detail an alternate ending for Vani, also this version would include Sans being “hired” to work for Nightmare.

Now before I go on about the basic concept for this AU, I’ll need to explain a few things first:

Sans’s Killing Spree: I don’t know if in the original he killed all monsters (I kept getting mixed answers or no answers at all), but in this version he only killed most monsters. There were a few that were able to get away & hide before Sans could get them; Sans only wanted to get enough EXP to reach LV 19 or 20 (I can’t decide which one yet). Vani, & probably characters like Monster Kid, Napstablook & Mettaton (Ghost Form), would be one of these survivors.

*As a side note: Papyrus in this AU is an actual ghost & not a hallucination, but I’ll go over that in another post*

Frisk & Chara: In this AU, Frisk & Chara are basically “organic” A.I. attached to a “Real World Anchor” aka Frisk’s body/vessel. Chara was the original concept for the “Fallen Human”, but was scrapped due to them being too “independent & free-willed”. Frisk is the current concept prototype for the “Fallen Human”, made from original data & a blank template; however bits of Chara’s A.I. was used as filler for missing information within Frisk’s A.I., this causes Chara to appear as a glitched phantom (good example of this would be Glitchtrap from FNaF Help Wanted). Chara has little to no control over Frisk, instead they can only give “suggestions” to hopefully influence Frisk’s actions.

The Player: The Player is depicted/described as a higher entity or deity, they could be seen as the “Angel” sent to create peace between humans & monsters (this is based off the theory that the rune we see throughout the game is a depiction of 2 monsters, a human & an angel). The Player at the beginning of the route will have minimal control over Frisk, mainly able to give “directions or actions” that Frisk should follow. But the more EXP that is gained, the more control the Player will have over Frisk. This could cause a total takeover with the Player “ejecting” the A.I. from the anchor aka vessel.

How Did Vani Survive: In the most simplistic way of describing: she can’t die, her soul will automatically heal itself/her. Now in further details: Vani was born with (what I’ll be calling for now) a glitched soul; this causes the soul to look, well glitched out. However it has an ability to automatically heal itself & its body, but not through the usual way; via magic or healing items. Whenever Vani takes damage, the soul will “reload” her back to the point/time & placement right before she takes damage; however the world around her is not affected or altered by this ability, to everyone around her: she looks like she’s “lagging” or “glitching”. Fortunately, or more like unfortunately, this ability is automatically & Vani is unable to “deactivate” it; it use to be super over efficient (would activate if Vani took 1HP or less), but started to calm down has Vani got older (would activate if Vani loses half or more). Even if her HP reaches 0, the soul will activate its ability & essentially “resurrect” Vani; this is what happened when Sans was trying to kill her.

Ok now that that’s out of the way, the basic concept of this AU is…

BRINGING BACK THE DEAD!!!

Or Vani & the remaining monsters tried to improve on the artificial DETERMINATION to resurrect the fallen monsters. But it still causes them to melt, but can gain stability by “merging” with other monsters or inanimate objects (sticks, plants, sturdy clothing, etc.).

This obviously a huge info dump, but I’m super excited about this & I wanted to get everyone’s opinion or suggestion before I go too deep in.
