felt like drawing something more sinister tonight LMAO

Morpheus doesn't have a good role model present in his lore (technically he doesn't have one at all LMAO) so his moral compass isn't exactly the best.

Also crayon actually makes sketches look really nice??? I never used the crayon brush before but wooow.

[dreamseekersans]

there's something really satisfying and exhilarating about finishing up a character sheet LOL.

just moments before I finally finished coloring that character sheet I had that "YES YES HE'S ALMOST DONE" moment.

Main Post

Morpheus, aka Dreamseeker!sans is made by me, @dreaminlucidly. He has the ability to jump through dreams. He mainly resides in a dark realm surrounded by the dream realms of everyone, name pending (let's call this the dreamscape for now).

Lore (up for changes atm)

Character Sheet

[dreamseekersans]

A convo between me and myself:

Me: WHY'D YOU MAKE HIM BAREFOOT??

Myself: I mean I didn't really wanna give him shoes it gives him that cool martial artist look y'know???????

Me: DID YOU FORGET HOW WE DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO DRAW FEET? NOW LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE. WE HAVE TO LOOK AT FEET PICS NOW.

Myself: I guess they'll have to look bad then >:)

My friends meanwhile (they are studying medicine): WHY ARE YOU LOOKING UP FEET PICS??

Me: Shows pics of skeletal structure of feet

My friends: GET THAT ANATOMY AWAY FROM ME.

for anyone who's curious, when Morpheus first spawned in, he didn't have the same exact outfit underneath.

His shirt used to look slightly different and have sleeves.

He doesn't have it later on though since he doesn't like how the cloth of his sleeves and cloak brush against each other and finally learned to tailor well enough to modify his outfit LOL.

[dreamseekersans]

Modifying Morpheus' wardrobe underneath a bit. Wanted the outfit to be a bit more black since I wanted him to have the color scheme of a postman butterfly underneath :D I have yet to modify the coloring on the left for the underside of his cloak lol.

Since the postman butterfly got its name because of how it travels from flower to flower, thought it suited Morpheus well since he travels from dream to dream :D

Butterflies can be poisonous

Dreamseeker Sans/aka 'Morpheus' Origin Lore

(Subject to change for now since I'm still setting up his lore and stuff rn)

His first memory was awakening in an empty world, shrouded in a pitch-black darkness, his cloak illuminating the space around him.

He sits there, for he does not know any better.

He sits there for an unknown amount of time, for he has no concept of it.

Then, some spheres around him that he previously hadn't noticed glow with bright colors, he sees colors twisting and turning, making strange noises.

He watches and listens, for he does not know any better. He watches, he sees figures that look sort of like him, talking with others.

----

Eventually, after some time, he begins to understand those sounds, it's language, it's words. He learns. He learns that words have meaning, and so do gestures. He learns to get up and walk around. He learns that the figure that looks like him is a skeleton named Sans, or so he assumes, from the gestures of it all. He doesn't quite understand the full sentences yet, but he's certain that the skeleton is named Sans.

This means that he, too, is a skeleton, or so he would like to believe.

----

The first sentence he fully comprehends is ironically one that he doesn't quite understand.

"This is a dream."

The screen goes pitch black, as they always do eventually -- some earlier than others -- but they would also always come back.

Always.

He waited.

----

They came back. He sat down, listening once again. He always does, for he does not know any better.

He learns more, he can comprehend sentences now.

Many screens held skeletons claiming to be Sans, others had skeletons claiming to be Papyrus. Are all skeletons named Papyrus or Sans?

If so, which one was he? Who was he?

----

He began practicing speaking himself. He wanted to speak and communicate like them too.

Sometimes, he would pretend he was also part of a world in amongst one of the many, many screens littering the dark realm. He pretended he could speak amongst them, laughing and joking with them.

It was...fun? That sounded right.

But the screens would always eventually turn off, leaving him in the dark, his cloak illuminating the space around him, only further reminding him of the vast darkness around.

What was this feeling? He didn't know the word for it, for he did not know any better.

----

Sometimes, a screen would flicker out, and never come back.

Sometimes, a new screen would appear.

He didn't know why-- it just happened.

Nonetheless, he watched, listened, learned, and talked. For he did not know any better.

----

Sometimes, a screen he passed by would be filled with loud...laughter? He didn't feel like that was quite the correct word. Sans would always have that same smile on his face. He was in a battle with the human.

It looked pretty action-intensive, but Sans would always look so cool. It felt...exhilarating watching him (was he using these words correctly? He wished he could ask Sans, maybe he would know).

Sometimes, Sans would lose, and some red stuff would fall out of him. He didn't know what it was, was that paint? He tried asking once, but Sans didn't respond. No one responded when he spoke, after all. The screen would usually become pitch-dark after that.

Sometimes, Sans would win. And sometimes, when Sans won, his smile would disappear, and he would say that same sentence before the screen cut to darkness.

"This is a dream."

He still didn't understand what that meant. He was starting to dislike it though, it would always bring another space of darkness to his world, leaving him to find another screen to watch.

What is a dream?

----

Loneliness. That was the word.

He could see everyone, he could hear everyone.

He was always watching and listening. And if he tried hard enough, he could pretend he was part of it all.

Pretend. That's the most he could do.

It was an awfully lonely existence.

He was starting to know better, and he didn't know if he liked that or not. Uncertainty filled him.

----

The more he looked at the screens, the more he understood some semblance of the concept of time they spoke about occasionally.

And the wait for the screens to come back felt longer and longer each time they disappeared.

That loneliness he learned about began to grow and fester within him. He wished he never learned about it, that he never learned what he was.

He wasn't Sans, he wasn't Papyrus.

He was lonely.

----

It was yet another iteration of him watching the screens play out the events of different worlds. He'd never tried this before, and he didn't know what compelled him to do so. He just knew he felt a strange urge to do something, anything. He's seen, he's heard.

He wanted to experience more. He wanted to taste what they ate, he wanted to feel what they felt, he wanted to touch the grass and look at the sky above-- just one time, please, please.

He reached towards a screen.

And it pulled him in.

----

(To be continued in the same post once I get more written down.)

[dreamseekersans]

I have thought of adding some soft sparkles and spots on the ends of his cloak :D

I also wanna experiment with some color combos!

picking colors is hard but IT WILL HAPPEN

MY CHILD WILL HAVE COLOR ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

somehow

[dreamseekersans]

I'm experimenting with color since I still haven't finalized his color palette yet and-

and

HE'S COMING TO LIFE

adding brainrot tag because I'm obsessing over this too much

[dreamseekersans]

funny coincidence, I was modeling Dreamseeker!sans' winged cape after a blue morpho butterfly when suddenly the word "morpheus" came to mind, isn't that like a god associated with dreams and sleep?

IS THIS FATE???

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A COINCIDENCE??

WAIT. WAIT WAIT. DID I JUST UNINTENTIONALLY FIND HIS NICKNAME?

Morpheus.

Anyways, sketch of the character sheet :D

[dreamseekersans]

skele pending

Dreamseeker sans is my oc :)

Currently in the rendering process. This is the sketch! ^^

I didn't expect the butterfly robe to turn out as well as it did esp if I was the one drawing him- but it's just pretty as I imagined him to be :D

how the FUCK do i draw san's feet

update: front view sketch with cloak off done

update; got that back side now :D
