#shortout papyrus

[maxladcomics]

Someone told me that OFC meant "Of Fucking Course" so I took the logical route and drew a comic. (It doesn't mean that, it can't be shortened to OC)

Vali’s eyes voided with surprise, his jaw slack. This skeleton was quite tall . . . much taller than most people Vali knew, except perhaps Asgore. The shock almost caused his magic to trigger, but with a moment to breathe and recollect himself, he was back to normal. He smiled at the stranger, a kind and welcoming smile, but there was a touch of wariness there as well. The new skeleton didn’t seem the happy sort, and there was no telling what they might do if he wasn’t careful.

He isn’t quite sure what to do, but falling back on good manners and the instincts that carried him through life, he introduces himself and slowly raises a hand to shake. Hopefully the gesture doesn’t provoke the other. His magic is still simmering inside him, ready to protect him if it’s needed. He doesn’t push it down entirely--it wouldn’t do to be unprepared--but does make sure to keep it under control. It wouldn’t do to allow his magic to lash out at this time, it would only ruin whatever chance of an amicable meeting he has at the moment.

For now, he only hopes his smile and nonthreatening posture will engender good will.

47, Rust?

47. How do they act in a formal occasion? What do they think of black tie wear? Do they enjoy fancy parties and love to chit chat or loathe the whole event? 

Rust has literally no comprehension of formality or politeness. He’s incredibly blunt and doesn’t tell white lies. He’s not polite and never asks, but demands things from people. He easily comes off as entitled, especially around people who are shorter than him. So, he acts incredibly rude and has no understanding of social norms.

If he ever was asked to dress formally, he’d probably wear a either a very short skirt or very long, but flowing one. This is because gender roles literally don’t exist in his world and there’s no way in hell you’ll ever get him to wear the stiff, uncomfortable typical suit. It ruins his mobility. If you somehow convince him to wear a suit, he’d be lashing out constantly. Overall though, he would rather not wear formal clothes and wouldn’t see the need for them, so he’d refuse to wear it, even- and especially- if it means he has to stay home.

He hates people. He refuses to talk to people and hates having too many people around- it stresses him out to no end and would likely end with him slaughtering everyone. Needless to say, he’d loathe the whole event...

How do you do character design in papyruses because they're so similar?

Well! Good question. So to distinguish Papyri on a base level, I usually exaggerate characteristics; Sanguine has a gradient eye combined with sharp cheekbones, jawline, and teeth (usually a characteristic in Fell variants) and a three pronged scar with mini-cracks branching off of it. Those are his most recognizable characteristics to distinguish him from other Papyri.

Sharper angles

Scar that branches three ways with branching cracks

Weird eye

I tend to exaggerate these traits when drawing other Papyri as well - For Gravel (Maxlad's Papyrus) I like to keep him sharp and with exaggerated eyebags. The eyebags distinguish him fully from other Fell types. For shortout's Rust, it's the lower tusks and the funky jaw. Don't be afraid to mess around with facial structure and weird mouth shapes. Angular typically equals more violent in this fandom (fells and murdery papyri), and rounder means softer/classic (Swap Papyri and classics)

The next thing is clothes - I like to keep my Papyri clothes vaguely similar to canon, with influence of practicality/personality. Sanguine wears what is basically a croptop under a large jacket to give him body. He still has gloves, just altered to fingerless ones. And ofc the scarf moodring.

Try to give them a distinctive outline! Sanguine's coat billows a lot and gives him Presence, which is part of his personality: He is flashy and has Style! Let him have style!

Those are my main two tips! Other character design traits apply obviously, but yeah have fun!

TL;DR

A Papyrus does not have to be distinguished from clothes alone, skull shape can make a big difference, as well as irises/pupils and scars

The sharper the Papyrus, the more typically violent they are (just. from the trends lol)

General character design applies :]

K so Tumblr messed up with something and I have to do it again

@wolfgirl55stuff asked: 4. What’s your favourite quote (in Undertale)? 23. Your headcanon about one of the UT characters- 29. Your favourite UT au? 30. Your least favourite UT au? 70. When playing for the first time how many candies did you take?

4. What’s my favourite quote?

“I can't go to hell. I'm all out of vacation days” -Burgerpants

BURGERPANTS APPRECIATION EVERYONE

23. Headcanons

I posted some just now, but here are some more:

-Undyne eats a lot of steak

-Toriel gets really cross with the RUINs monsters if they are too rough with each other

-Asgore consults Undyne before doing much

-The vine that Chara tripped on was intentional foreshadowing

-Frisk is in their pj’s the entire time

29. Favourite AU

HMMM

Shortout (Wolfgirl’s AU), @maxladcomics ‘s fell and swapfell, along with grave mistake. Underswap and storyshift, and finally, Horrortale and Underworld because THOSE DESIGNS WOOP

30. Least favourite AU

Underlust and anything that belongs in the Undertail category

Burn. It. Now.

Nobody kill me, but I don’t particularly like Aftertale, simply for the Papyrus there. Too much like fanon Papyrus, and that thing is....

Ernel described it perfectly:

Canon Papyrus: I don’t remember murdering anyone, but I am a pretty brutal kind of guy

Fanon Papyrus: UwU what’s a murder have some spaghetti

70. How many candies I took

I took 2. First one I noticed healed 10HP, so I figured, since I have 20HP, why not stock up on about three.

Then I took the second, and got really uncomfortable.

I hate that room, it creeps me out.

Nowdays though, I can no-hit the RUINS, so I don’t have to go in there!

Thanks for the asks Wolfgirl, and sorry Tumblr killed my original response/
