i've been thinking about that OC insert art you did and i've been wondering if your nightmare is transmasc :)

you can think of it that way! i honestly never thought much about gender identity for the gang so people are free to interpret them as they'd like - it has no negative impact to the characters or the story <3

HAPPY BORTH TO @paintedkinzy-88!! It be a double driller strike! 💛❤️

Textless version under the cut:

[mothiepixie]

Farmer Motti has a rooster that absolutely hates her. No matter how kind and forgiving she is to that devil with feathers, the rooster is a total bastard to her.

Farmer Sans will every so often in the morning hear that rooster crow and then a few minutes later it will be followed with a scream and cursing.

One day in the coop, the rooster corners Motti. She's huffing in frustration and pleads for the damn mini t-rex descendant to leave her alone.

Farmer wanders in the coop's entrance and chuckles at the sight before him. The rooster notices Farmer as he approaches and kneels down to the bird. He easily picks the rooster up and coos at it which leaves Motti to stare flabbergasted.

Farmer chuckles, "what can i say? i have im-peck-able skills."

Ayo!!! It's been a while since I've drawn utau (utmv?) stuff in a fully rendered style, so.... when I saw @itsxroxannex had a dtiys I had to shoot my shot!

Actually, I don't think I've ever done a dtyis before 👀 so this was really fun.

(Speedpaint and More Process Rambles beneath the cut ♡)

I... actually don't think I've ever drawn Passive!NM either tbh. This entire drawing was kinda like a personal challenge to myself, since I often lack w/ backgrounds too.

I did kinda a study on the originals background, because I tend to just draw characters w/o a solid background, and when I do add a background characters usually blend into it a lil too well to discern figures, so the color choices and soft loose lines compared to the hard lines + cell shading felt really nice.

I also decided to go back to Procreate for this one too! Normally I draw w/ Medibang these days, but I learned to draw utau stuff on Procreate and so drawing them elsewhere feels wrong.

And, of course, the last note I'll add in the actual post: my sketch process is trash lmao. Literally I just wing the shapes of clothes and junk based on the vibes and resize as needed. I love looking at the og sketch tho cuz it's so... bald. No under-form, no indicator of limbs, nothing.

Rolling in once more to ask if you have any tips for drawing sans and papyrus head? Just really like how expressive you managed to make them

I'm one to change things on a whim, so this is not a rule and you'll probably catch me experimenting from time to time ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

About expressions, I firmly believe they rely on their eyelights and brow bones the most!

"They can't stop smiling because they're skeletons", and showing emotions under a permanent smile is difficult, so I interpret that as "they always show teeth because they're skeletons".

Those who have eyelights like Sans can dilate or contract them, which is amazing for showing how they're feeling at all times.

Exaggerating the position of brow bones can help accentuate that.

Sockets work like eyelids, another great thing to exaggerate (in case they don't have eyelights, like Papyrus, I go cartoony and let them work like pupils moving from side to side pfpfpf)

Mouths can help still, the edges of their teeth moving upwards or downwards or even like lips just for the sake of expressing. It doesn't makes sense, but 👀

And wrinkles! I know they're bones (weird malleable monster skellies 👍) but adding that extra bit of lines under their sockets, around their nose bridge, between their brow bones and their mouth when they're furious, shocked or very tired works wonders.

And as a bonus:

But y'know, that's how I do it. Every artist is different and I'm still figuring how to draw them myself. My first Horror was veeeeery different from the one I have now omg

Sona ref! :D

Details n lore rambles below:

They're 4'10, their pronouns are he/they/it, n ofc they do have Tourette's. :3

He is a shapeshifter, made of goop that can morph into any shape, but this is the form he takes a majority of the time.

He lives in Underfell's Waterfall, in a hidden cave.

(warning: possibly uncomfy topics. including mild stalking (? not quit?). and death to heat/cold in the last big paragraph.)

They've always stayed hidden out of fear of being dusted, and when they do go out, they stay camouflaged and close to the walls. So he's a big hermit and rarely interacts with people, but he does like to people watch (at least. when someone isn't killing another lmao), and it is usually the only reason he will leave his cave at all.

People sometimes hear random noises in Waterfall, and feel like they're being watched, but when they don't see anything, they usually just chock it up to them losing it. Sans (Red) however isn't so sure of that when he keeps getting that feeling, and hearing those sounds consistently in Waterfall, and Waterfall only, just about every time he's there.

Sans is it's favorite to watch, and it will even follow him around Waterfall. They don't do this in a creepy way (or at least they try not too lmao), it's more like how a very curious animal might follow someone from a safe distance. :3

They wish they could follow Sans outside of Waterfall, but really cold weather makes their body very stiff, and makes it hard to move and shapeshift. If they're in the freezing cold long enough, they will literally freeze solid and dust (they are also cold-blooded, so they can not warm themself up). On the other hand, really hot weather will have the opposite effect. They will start to melt, and it will become very hard to keep any form. If hot enough (like in Hotland, literally above lava), they can even start to boil, and will dust that way too.

Both of these can also put them in a vulnerable position, which can be extremely dangerous, living in Underfell.

(Okie okie, am done rambling now lmao.)

[a-whispering-echo]

Kyanos-

Deep, blue, abyss, consuming, cold, danger, slow, watching, slinking, confident, chasm, excited, thrill, laugh, grip, taunt, play, prowl, straight, coo, obsess, arctic, alone, ploy, smile. The slow dilation of a predators eyes. The black overtaking the iris and leaving only the barest of whites. The stop of a heart as you see the peaking of eyes from behind a tree when you thought you were alone.

Rust-

Smothering, following, stalking, watching, heat, corrosion, mind, latched, insistent, pursuit, slow, drawl, easy, false, games, leading, unconcern, tease, questions, lure, trade, assurance, sweet poison. An orange Spotlight that cuts through the darkness. Never leaving you no matter how far or how fast you run. Keeping you perfectly within the circle of its beam. Wind whipping past as you run in the dark.

Vinum-

Calculate, silent, observe, at length, tracing, iron, click-clack, sharp, time, hmm, intellect, question, keep, possess, tired, age, restraint, hush, obey, wait, watch, obliterate, whisper, wrapped around, manipulate, shift, change, favor. Tilting of the head. The slow curl of an open hand around a throat. The oppressive thrum of red that fills your mind.

Kopi-

Quiet, seeing, notes, grip, sealed, kept, gold, skcret-skr, slouch, glow, pillow, heartbeat, static, silent, safe, hidden, sigh, gloves, humming, soft, closed, loose, flowing. Stillness in the swaying field of yellow grass. A figure standing against the light of the setting sun. A sighing body curled atop a pile of pillows in the quiet of a dark room.

Black-

Gruff, teeth, dark-water, black-ice, sharp, crossed, hmpf, bared, tension, metal, rend, trap, protected, folded, pressed, thought, disinterest, bulk, winter, dreary, narrowed, rapids, quick, snap. Standing in an open field under a rolling storm, sky tinged blue-gray as the thick rolling clouds rumble above. Feeling the vibration in your chest with hands clenched into fists at your sides.

Grim-

Quiet, stalk, watch, slouch, silent, chase, behind, hum, knowing, wrapped, keep, no escaping, shh, learn, curiosity, intriguing, lead, trap, nudge, encourage. The reluctance of accepting a caged warmth within the dangers of a blizzard. The trembling of a mechanism taken apart only to be gently put back together. The soft whisper of a voice that leads you down the winding path even when it ends death.

Edge-

Straight, wish, frown, away, tall, stood, firm, snap, sharp, drag, collar, mine, leave, brace, chill, provide, whip, tapping, rhythm, impress, point, claw, press, heat, suffocate, tension, rip, imposing, gravity, silent, lean, scrutiny, loyal, hate, begrudge, kneel. A tight coil with the threat of springing, held in place by an invisible hand. Sweet words hissed with desperation at a rabbit gripped too tight within a palm.

Red-

Snark, defy, anger, boil, burst, goad, trick, lead, downfall, hostility, rage, hot, blind, heavy, pin, suppress, growl, smother, slow burning, huff, animal, sharp, satisfaction, grin, death, bloody, release, hurt, heel, command. The explosion of a match lit knowingly and tossed into the invisible killer if a gas leak. The grinning of bared teeth of an animal willingly muzzled, seconds from being let loose.

*it's freezing cold anywhere outside of the bed.

*but you can't. why is that?

*well.

*your skelebabe is clinging on you, and seemingly not planning to get up anytime soon.

*but you REALLY need to get up.

*...

*so you gently put your hands on his face, then started to plant kisses everywhere on his handsome ass skull until his face is entirely flushed with color.

*you planted one last kiss onto his forehead before dragging yourself away from him, and the comfy sheets to start your day.
