Blush (The Lost Princess)

I was feeling really down, and even though I had wanted to work on a lot, my motivation was completely shot down. It wasn't until finally around 1am that I was able to just push myself to draw something that I knew would make me feel better...

Papyrus. 👀💖

Papyrus, thank you for becoming my rental comfort character. I was at first just going to draw him sitting down as a little practice, but then I thought, you know, maybe drawing him cheering someone on with positive vibes would make me feel better, and it 100% did. So, I share with you Papyrus, who is letting you know as well that everything is going to be ok! :)

YEESSSSS!!!!!

One common Undertale misconception that really frustrates me is when Sans is portrayed with a strong innate sense for RESETs and alternative timelines. Like, that he remembers the RESET timelines better than the other characters who only have occasional feelings of deja vu or even that he can sense when a timeline is RESET.

And that’s, like, almost the opposite of the actual text of the game. While pretty much every main character can have slightly-different dialogue in a Not-True-RESET, especially if the Player had previously befriended them, based on the idea that they have lingering memories/feelings from before the RESET - 

Sans has no real dialogue changes based on this conceit. All of his changes are based around noticing Frisk has different reactions based on their memories of the precious timelines. 

Other characters do also make observations like that about Frisk, like Mettaton and Toriel. But Sans is distinctive because this is the only way his comments change between RESETs and there are a lot of them from him.

Because that is what really frustrates me about this misconception. People mention it as one more thing that makes Sans cool - but the actual truth is far more badass. Sans is one of the people in the Underground who remembers RESETs the least. I think memory-resistance to RESETs is probably tied to Determination. Flowey, the second-most Determined person in the Underground after Frisk, can remember everything perfectly.

Everyone else has some vague feelings and deja vus. And Sans, he’s the least motivated person in the Underground - both in the sense he’s lazy and in the sense he’s fucking depressed.

That probably means he has very little Determination. Thus, he doesn’t remember anything that happens between RESETs.

And yet, he is still the character most aware of them. Because he has the technological know-how to read and analyze timelines.

And because he has the observation and analytical skill to notice a RESET from other people’s reactions and behavior. Whatever it’s Papyrus thinking he recognizes someone or Frisk’s behavior implying that they know something they shouldn’t have. Sans main RESET-related skill is just being able to identify these moments and come to the correct conclusion about them. And with that he manages to be the most aware character in the entire Underground.

Like, the one point where it might seem like Sans remembers something from a previous Timeline is the Fake Spare scene during his boss battle. 

But it’s all pretend. Unlike the previous lines from other characters that I mentioned, this dialogue plays even if the Murder Route is the first time the player touched the game. Sans isn’t remembering anything in this scene. But he makes an educated guess that the Immoral Time God probably tried using their powers for good at first, so they were likely ‘friends’ in a previous timeline. And in most cases, his guess is right on the money - tricking many players into thinking this is another case of the game actually reacting to their past actions.

And as always, Sans can only tell if his lil’ trick worked or not based on the expression of the Player Character.

Arguably, Sans even uses his lack of Determination and cross-RESET memory to his advantage in his boss battle. After all, the whole point of this fight isn’t to kill the Player - Sans understands this is impossible. This is a war of attrition, trying to get the Player so frustrated and annoyed with the unfair fight that they just ragequit or RESET the Timeline. And this war of the Player’s patience versus Sans’ stamina and will is infinitely easier for him when he doesn’t actually perceive all the Player’s previous attempts against him.

Like, for the Player this might be the billion time they go up against him, they’re aware of some of his patterns and tricks now but they’re probably also frustrated and angry and exhausted. Meanwhile, from Sans’ POV, this is still the first time this is happening. He knows it’s not from the Player’s behavior and Frisk’s expression - but he doesn’t feel it like the Player does. 

He doesn’t feel the frustration and repetition of the endless stalemate. So he’s always as fresh as a daisy no matter how rugged the Player is getting.

And that’s part of why Sans is so cool in the first place, like, in general. He’s technically the weakest person in the Underground, lacking in every standard evaluation of power in the setting - no ATK, no DEF, no HP, no DETERMINATION. But he’s darn clever enough to overcome these weaknesses and even use them in ways that make them into strengths, enough to be one of the most dangerous and most aware guys in this whole setting.

Sans can’t remember anything, and that makes him awesome.

Heya, it has been a while! I have been really wanting to draw Frisk and Chara, so that is what I decided to do! c:

Frisk sings a song... a story, if you will...

I don't know why I decided this needed to be a full illustration but... here it is. For those who know the reference, congrats.

No, Frisk does not know how to play guitar. 🎸🎵

Also, this was my first time using my harder-edged line art brush since... *checks through Gallery* August 2023! Wowie! ˋ( ° ▽、° )

2023 is on the way... out of no where...

🖤 I was getting pretty bummed out thinking I wouldn't be able to post this until next year. On top of dealing with many current physical and mental issues, I just recently got sick with Influenza A, and the past few days have been me in bed watching too much YouTube, lol. I was smart though because I actually made this in advance so I could just post it around the end of the month.

💛 This year included my final year in college, which I graduated with my BFA (focus in animation). Being finally out of school has been very interesting so far. Sometime later I got accepted into an Internship, which is awesome. However, I am now at a point in my life in which I need to figure out what I want to do with my artistic journey... and I have been thinking about it non-stop since graduation. Truth is, I still don't 100% know what I wanna do, and I think that's fine. I just know that I have passion projects that I need to get out to the public eventually, and many things I wanna try to do one day like uploading YouTube vids or creating a more involved community. Actually, my presence online this year has been insane. I think this year I finally hit 1k+ followers on Deviantart. I also started to grow more of a presence on Instagram and Tumblr, which is pretty cool. 

🧡 Some of my 2023 goals include: 1. I would really like to finally buckle down and upload even more original work. Fan art of course will still be around... especially Undertale xD 2. I want to work on improving and creating an even more visually appealing art style... or just play around more with some idk. 3. Maybe finally upload some YouTube vids.. or start on Tiktok. 4. Do some cool animated work 5. Continue to just improve and not be so hard on myself 6. Annndd whatever else I forgot to write down here~

💜 Thank you to everyone who continues to support me and my artistic journey, really, it means a lot that there are people who care just enough about me/my work to keep watch from time to time~

Light Fight

Chara: "Frisk, who put you in charge of the lights?!" 😠

Kris + Frisk: "..."

~~~

I can't believe I am finally uploading this! ;w;

This was one of the hardest drawings for me in a while to finally get to finish. I don't care that we are in the new year now, this was supposed to originally be uploaded before then, so I am counting this as my December post!... Which means... I have to try to also upload something else for this month! :'D

Moving on... so I decided to re-design and draw Kris again. The last time I had (at least publicly) was in 2018, so it has definitely been some time. I debated whether to show their eyes, and I ended up just going with "yes" cause I liked the energy it added to the art. But man, if I thought just getting the time to finish and finally upload this was hard, let's talk about just sketching the stupid thing. Drawing characters interacting like this is always tricky (for me at least), so I was stuck in the sketching phase for such a long time. Regardless, I finally finished and that is all that matters! Happy (late) Holidays! 🎄

made a thing~ and i fucken live by it

I made a poll a while ago on Deviantart in which I asked about what franchise to draw something for. The winner was MHA! I decided to draw my favorite character from the series~ I am happy with how this turned out, he was fun to draw :)

I am a little late but I wanted to draw something for the whole LetSansRest day thing. I also have been wanting to re-draw this one fan art I did back in 2018. On top of that, I missed drawing a dedicated, yearly art of Frisk and Sans last year, so I wanted to make sure, no matter what, I did so this year. So, I figured why just combine all of it? 

Completing this took way longer than I imagined. This was my first time drawing a full-body Sans in quite a while (actually, I think it's been almost a full year owo???) and drawing characters interacting with each other is always a struggle for me, even though I love drawing it.

Not frans/ship art. Soriel art if anything because Sans is actually wearing a marriage ring from Toriel to prove it so hahaha >: D
