#axis c!overtale

[indigo-flowers09]

I absolutely love these designs! and was just wondering what inspired them? I'm curious of what the plot's about, since everyone's species swapped

why not answer this question with another ref sheet(?) :3

I’d like to say, first and foremost, thank you very much for the love 🫶 i love getting asks and requests, these sillies live in my brain and drawing them is their rent

Second, i’m probably gonna keep plot talk on the DL unless i decide not to make a comic! Sorry :,3

Last but not least, inspirations. hooo boy this is a doozy

Firstly i wanna say i was inspired to make a comic specifically because of older ut comic dubs (Christmas party, handplates, Aftertale, etc) along with Scott Pilgrim and @akanemnon’s Twin Runes comic! (check them out i love twin runes a lot!!!)

The idea for the au is really just “What if the humans were monsters and the monsters were humans?” or, also “what if the (former) monsters were on the surface and the (former) humans were underground?” Classic Overtale plot!

Going in order, starting with AXIS, he’s actually one of the newest designs! i made him in my german class last week („•v•„U ) I wanted Axis to have a design change but remain a robot, maybe being more humanoid due to being made by a human! Changed his pipes and light bulb into what resembles hair and his wheel into roller blades!

Next up, Ceroba! i’ll be honest, i really don’t like Cerobas canon design that much. Love the colors but the short skirt and boots are not it, especially if she’s intended to be a more traditional japanese character. Like she’s not a magical girl, she’s in her 30’s?? Anywho, i made her prominently orange instead of pink (again, magical girl) along with lightening natural hair due to age and stress!

Clover. Clover Clover Clover!!! what do i even say about this precious little pup?! :3

I guess i could start with them being a Kitsune, of course, being switched with the Ketsukanes. Seeing as Ceroba is a mother and is often portrayed as taking a motherly role to clover, i figured a kitsune would fit them nicely! Along with being a cute, fun to draw, and curious troublemaker! I always like to remind myself that Clover’s just a kid.

Next up, Star! or, in this au, Stanley Sterling, the performative sheriff of a humble little town! i decided to switch up his poncho a little, for the sake of changing his design, gave him chaps (i like to call em pantaloons hoohoo!) and teal tassels for days! He’d prolly know more about cowboys than canon Starlo because, yknow, he lives on the surface!

Ah Martlet, or now, Marlette! but most just call her Marley. She has ~4 different outfits planned, a cozy, aviator style one for “Snowdin”, a sleeveless shirt with her flannel round her waist and a bandana for “the Dunes” and that flannel over her shoulders for “New Home”! along with a tee and pj’s for the epilogue. Her outfit is easy to manipulate so it only stays the same so often. Also, talon boots! ;]

And Dalv! Poor fella stayed a monster for the plot 😿 but i changed his design so he’s got a jacket similar to the one he has in Snowdin in uty but a whole lot smaller lol, along with a Batty pendant, a red vest and shoes and carved down horns! poor fella :(

Feel free to ask questions about these guys i am more than pleased to talk about them

Do the Robots exist here? And if they do... are they any different?

Aha!!! If it is robos you ask then robos you shall receive!!!! *bows* *stumbles and falls on my face*

The robots are a bit different!!!

For one, Guardener will be more important!!! I love her so much i couldn’t help myself!!! and i wanted her and Axis to be friends :(

She, like all the others, is more humanoid. She has “hair” consisting of vines and ferns of an invasive, albino species of plant. She lives in the now much larger garden area of the Steamworks before she was shut down after it was abandoned. She floats around using jets of steam to avoid trampling the plants she tends to and help water them simultaneously!

She has her little backup bots too! I decided to call them RO-BEAU’s, standing for Rutherford Oscar (their creator), Backup Enforcement Assistant Units. If Guardener is gonna be more important, they’re definitely gonna be more important, but still pretty insignificant.

And, lastly, AXIS. Axis is, of course, a monster eradication, soul storage and experimental magic robot. not a mouthful at all and totally not gonna change./s

He was made out of Chujins paranoia regarding monsters. No officials would have approved his creation, so he was worked on in secret for years, sucking dry Chujins savings and sanity like a soul powered sponge until his final days.

In the end, he would get his head broken off and his body used for one of Mettatons first bipedal iterations. owch.

And the others. As for Sousborg (i think he’s called) i don’t know jack shit about him so i’ll have to look into it. And Jandroid, Goosic, and Vendy? they’re probably just gonna be more humanoid and get some more robot friends. That wall thing is staying the EXACT same, they’re annoying enough to think about no less try to rewrite, redesign and edit.

Will robo talk more at a later date, gotta think about if it’s all too much spoilers….

also this MAY make no sense it’s like 1am rn…
