[the-soot-nest]

someone mentioned the rose maple moth is spamton colours which naturally made me want to draw moth mini spamton, BUT THEN I remembered plot for soot boi

Long story short, soot sprite Ralsei is a the remnant of the dying Dark Fountain, being a soot sprite means he has the potential "spark" to re-ignite the Dark Fountain again. Some more plot happens and our little soot sprite (along with Kris) goes through trials and tribulations (7 to be exact) to obtain a 'soul' of his own; our little soot sprite becomes an ember. That spark to ignite the Dark Fountain anew!

There's a mysterious 'wizard' that looks after the Fountain, the one who created the walled-off city to protect it, and he's getting desperate to save the Fountain he had so lovingly cared for and powered, even utilizing the little soot sprites it seems to spit out! I can absolutely see him sending out a little special variant of spamton to confirm that Ralsei does indeed have the [LIGHT] and the key to save the Dark Fountain.

This is a long winded, convoluted way of saying Moth Spamton would LOVE Ralsei when he becomes an ember. He would cling to him like he's a heavenly angel :)

Ralsei voice: Oh yeah I can be trusted to accrue every other Dark World to make mine grow stronger - I mean make our Castle Town prosper - haha yeah I have no personal stake in this. Ignore the fountain we could have closed this entire time behind me ahaha.

Looking Glasses Development Art 1

Next ==>

This was the first bit of concept art I did for Looking Glasses. The scene where Ralsei is first confronted by the titan was incredibly clear in my head from the beginning, so when I sat down to start working on the comic, it was the first scene I started messing with. This drawing was mostly about experimenting with fonts and effects, so the art itself is pretty rough. My development process tends to start with visual design stuff, so I often spend hours looking at fonts before I get into sketching actual art. I'm really glad that I went in a different direction with this page in the final product, this is pretty visually cluttered.

Going over my old artwork has me thinking about the craft behind that sequence a bit, so I'm going to throw some more thoughts under the cut. It's a two for one.

Let's start with the final pages for this sequence, just to remind you how it turned out

You can see how that initial sketch got divided up into the second and third pages here. This served some practical purposes. To start, I realized I wanted you to be able to see Ralsei's face on the second page, to show how the loud titan voice is hurting him. But I wanted to keep Ralsei silhouetted in front of the titan eye for scale, so I pushed that into the next page.

Let's look at my initial sketches for this sequence.

You might notice some pretty major differences between these sketches and the finished product. Most notably, panel 3 on page 1 and all of page 2 are flipped. That's because I realized I had broken the 180 rule on page one, and it made a scene without any visual landmarks kind of confusing. Of course, I didn't realize this until super late in the process on that page. You can see this in the difference between my flats and the final base colors.

(I also fixed some weirdness at this stage, like Ralsei's head in the first panel was kinda wonky). But flipping this one panel also meant I had to flip the entire next page to keep continuity.

A few more details I think are kinda fun.

On the left, I had added a bunch of eyes to the smoke, a design detail I later dropped because I couldn't quite get it to look good in the colors, and I figured the titan eye showing up on his top worked well enough. He's also crying in this panel, which I also must of dropped.

On the right I really had to work through a bunch of expressions for him before settling on squeezing his eyes closed. At one point he was really angry!

But that didn't fit the vibe. Ralsei isn't exactly angry here, even if he is shouting on this page. I really liked him closing his eyes tightly though, it let me do this across the page-turn:

Which I thought was a cool way to transition out of one scene (and visual style) and into another. Now, is he waking up here because he wills himself to wake up, or because Susie healed him? I'll leave that one up to interpretation.

I'm also kind of referencing Issue 17 of The Wicked and The Divine here, where the POV character closes her eyes at the end of every scene to mark scene transitions (and when she's dissociating).

Anyway, that's the really long winded development of this sequence, from initial concept art to final product.

Okay i know this isn't a deltarune blog but

Deltarune AU where susie and kris aren't """"""shrunk"""""" Upon entering a darkworld, and remains the same size relative to the enviorment

DOESNT MATTER PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SEND ME ANY G?T IDEAS ABT ANY OF THE FANDOMS IVE POSTED/REBLOGGED FOR there are just certain ones that take up the brain cells a lot more lol *coughs* aceattorneyandmp100 *cough*

BUT ANYWAY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ralsei finally gets to be pet by that giant hand (assuming kris/the player chooses not to kill him) lil tiny ralsei you can hold in the palm of your hand...............

i think susie tho. might be a problem at first sldkfjslkdfjlskdflsd but also!!!!!! her w a tiny lancer!!!!!!!!!! oh my god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just a lil guy just bouncin around on her shoulders and hair!!!!!!!!!!!!! i think if she squeezed him he'd just be like a squishy little ball that squeaks or smth

THEORY: The Colorful Core

Someone once made a very sharp insight about the CORE. It's been years and I still can't find it, but I distinctly remember a YouTube commenter pointing out these colored tube sprites in the CORE. They said they were specifically the same colors as printer ink: cyan, magenta, and yellow.

Ignorant, I looked it up.

And, um.

Yeah we can start to guess why these were thrown in with the "darknesstotems," huh.

For anyone else that wasn't aware, CMYK color model acquires the color black ("K" or "Key") by subtracting light using pigments. The pigments in question? CMY - cyan, magenta, and yellow.

This might have some implications for Deltarune.

PART 1: Photon Readings Negative

As we all know, the creator of the CORE and our "SURVEY_PROGRAM" is none other than Gaster himself. (Unless there's anyone else out there using typer value 666.)

Gaster is heavily tied to the concept of "darkness" through his infamous Entry 17 experiment.

And between the "darknesstotem" sprites in the CORE, the mercenaries emerging from the shadows, and these apparent CMYK references, we might infer that the CORE has something to do with that too.

Specifically, the "PHOTON READINGS NEGATIVE" description seems... more or less the exact function of a subtractive model like CMYK. (As far as i can figure. Not an expert, here.) This seems to further support the idea that the CMYK model may either literally or metaphorically serve some role in the "darkness" concept that was teased in Undertale, and a focal point of Deltarune.

So what does this mean? Well, as it is depicted in Deltarune so far, "darkness" seems to symbolically represent "fiction," and more diagetically, it's the source of the Dark Worlds and all Darkners within it. That seems to be the black color's meaning more or less solved for. What's unclear is how this darkness, or "K," will be produced.

(One could say... how could we "Gen" this "Key"? A "KEYGEN," in other words?)

okay that's just a quick tangent but hey spamton very much does cycle through rainbow colors okay it's not totally unrelated--

In any case. We have K solved for, so the remaining elements that would "combine" to create it are CMY. While there's not any known themes or plot elements across UTDR that would relate to the colors cyan, yellow, and magenta, there certainly are some characters...

PART 2: The CMY Trio

Did those colors look familiar?

That's right: Kris, Susie, and Noelle each have the respective CMY colors attached to them!

While Kris does have blue skin, Susie pink skin, and Noelle yellow hair, it's their HP bars that are the biggest tells.

No matter how you colorpick it, that's a cyan-magenta-yellow.

And wouldn't you know it, these three characters happen to be the ones mentioned by Gaster, pursuer of darkness, to be "VERY, VERY WONDERFUL."

But aren't we forgetting someone?

PART 3: Not Easy Being Green

Ralsei is already a character with a lot going on, and i'm not going to get into that here. Needless to say, though, there's much about him that's slightly different from Kris and Susie, and sometimes even Noelle. The green-associated Ralsei not having as definitive a place in the CMYK model is just one more space he's an odd one out in.

The counterargument here would be that Ralsei himself is meant to represent "K." That's certainly possible. He is the (or a?) prince of darkness, and is associated with black roughly as much as green. So i'm not going to discount that as much as say: if Ralsei is meant to represent darkness in such a significant way that Gaster was summoning him up in Undertale, I almost think we'll have more questions than answers. So to keep things simple for now, i'm going to assume that Ralsei's associated color is, like the others, in his HP bar.

Under that assumption, i think there's a couple places Ralsei could fit.

It's possible he could still squeeze into CMYK, being the secondary-color intersection between cyan Kris and yellow Noelle.

But since Ralsei is so different from the others, it might stand to wonder if he's not part of another model entirely. Namely...

PART 4: The RGB Trio...?

...RGB. An additive model that acquires a given color by combining colors of light. The more colors that are added, the closer it gets to white.

In other words, more or less the inverse of the CMYK model.

The existence of the RGB model may mean that Ralsei does have a place in a trio - just maybe not the one we're led to believe.

If this theory holds true, and if this model also has an associated three characters, then there are two other members of Ralsei's trio that are unaccounted for: a red character and a blue character.

Now, i'm not the kind of theorist to run through every individual candidate with a... in this case somewhat literal color swatch. Especially when it's quite possible we haven't met these other two characters yet.

But for those who want to, i would just note that red and blue are the associated colors - Noelle isn't yellow, after all, and Light World Kris doesn't have a trace of cyan. We're lucky that all four of the main cast have HP bars that are definitively certain colors. So just keep that in mind if combing through the cast.

PART 5: Mixing It All Together

Now that we've established a possible CMY trio of Kris/Susie/Noelle and explored the idea of a RGB trio of two unknown characters and Ralsei, what might it all mean?

Well, we know that CMYK is used to produce black, or in Deltarune terms, something pertaining to "darkness," while RGB is used to make (any color up to) white, and could be used to achieve something "light" related.

So it would be a simple assumption that the CMY trio has something to do with darkness or the Dark Worlds, while the RGB trio has something to do with light or the Light World.

This is interesting because Kris, Noelle, and Susie are all Lightners, while Ralsei - and perhaps his other two comrades? - are Darkners. This flips the easy correlation of Lightners with the Light World and Darkners with the Dark Worlds on its head.

But haven't we seen this before? As far as we've seen, it's only possible for a Lightner to create a Dark Fountain. Could Darkners have some special kind of interaction with the Light World in the same way?

Moreover, do the trio of Kris, Noelle, and Susie have some sort of darkness-related power or knowledge available only to them? What makes the three of them so special? Even Gaster comments on it, though he may be biased toward the subject of his research, and even that, if true, is valuable information.

If we can't figure out what exactly is special about the CMY trio yet, i'm not going to hazard guesses about a purported RGB trio which we don't even know exists. But I would assume based on their inspirations that it would be basically the inverse of whatever the CMY three have going on.

Finally, there's one last property of these models that seems noteworthy. While CMYK and RGB seem like inversions of each other, a crucial difference is that CMYK is used for print media, while RGB is used for screens. There's nothing relevant about that I can think of at the time being, but it's something worth keeping in mind for future speculation on the topic.

CONCLUSION

So, there we are! While this is "theory" is more on the broad and speculative side, I hope that these ideas are useful going forward. We know very little about the role of the CORE, but a possible link between it and darkness and three of the main cast is valuable information. And perhaps we can learn some more about Ralsei and an unknown red and blue character at some point, too.

Thanks for reading!

ETA: Oh Kenju in the artbook just outright confirms the CMYK tubes apparently.

Well done, Youtube commenter.

[asktubbygoatasriel]

To Ralsei: Do you taste test all of your cakes yourself to see if the recipe's reached perfection? Because it sure does look like it >v>

*stoically resisting the urge to SQUEEZE the goat belly*

how dare you?

[the-nexus-of-thicc-goats]

The body with Ralsei gives his rump a squeeze as he thrusts in and out while the bed breaks from Gothriel and the other body

Ralsei moaned, those cheeks of his plapping loudly as he thrusts into him. Gothriel just roaring out, covering his mouth to try to hide his incoming roars.

[skylerfurmaniac-deactivated]

okay last one, im just squeezing 3 more into here, cus i gotta sleep lmao

it's kris, susie, and ralsei!!

anyways thats all for tonight (sorta night it's 4:20 as i write this lol)

hope you have a great day/night whoever is reading this, and i hope you like my designs!!!

(im going to make more >:D)

Do you like dragons?

Do you want to create your own?

[inksoover]

Some delta-doodles

[mossy-addison]

The polyamory post was about the fun gang (Susie, Kris, Noelle, maybe berdly, not ralsei and lancer tho, I don't like the idea of that

See this. This is the stuff.

This is what I want. Ship on ship on ship. I love them.

I squeeze them like a man who knows how not to hold a woman.

Because god hath given me a choice, and to his face, I said “let There be both”.

And I overpowered god that day.

old deltarune sketch 

[lesbianbarneytm]

She made a sudden sharp turn, pulling Kris with her as she did, through some old bushes they come to a old looking wall that seemed to be randomly standing in place. It looked like it had been apart of some building that no longer stood there. It was covered in moss and lengthy vines. The brick was simular to the bricks that made up the town just before Ralsei's castle. It may of been a full structure at some point. Though, Susie was unsure when.

* I admit I came to the Dark World in my own a few times..mostly when I couldn't sleep and such, sorry for not bringing you with. Susie lets go of Kris’s hand for a moment to push some shrubbery aside to show a hole in the wall, she got down onto her hands and knees and squeezes herself through. Only with some difficulties, her shoulders where super wide.)

* Ugh, ouch! Okay, now, your turn..don't worry, it's safe.. It’ll be much easier for you to fit through.

Horror movies like slashers and such? Man she loved watching those for the crappy affects. The dramatic blood curling screams. Her tail gives a few excited twitches and the purple she-dino leads the way.

* Horror movies are probably the best kind of movies to watch, nothing scared I, Susie Rex! The greatest Axe Warrior to save the world! With your help too of course.

She would say Ralsei too but, right now it still seemed too fresh to mention him after Kris expressed their fears. Susie knew just the spot they could hang out and be well hidden, she had stumbled upon it on one of her trips to the Dark World alone. After totally not breaking into the school at night to do so. She had found a cave with pretty quartz walls and a waterfall that drowned out any noise from any one outside. It be safe too so she could let her guard down.

okay. all i need is a huge green hat and a knife
