So uh

I redesigned two characters from Undertale for funsies. Like I love Undertale's designs so this is completely for fun and not a criticism or anything. Just me adding details I wish we're on the characters :3

Anyway

First up is ofc my girlie undyne. She is the only woman I want to be and sadly I can't be a gay butch fish lady so I'll just be a gay, genderless plague doctor

So really all I did was add more fish features. And stole her hair. Gave her a super cool fin thingy in stead because yes.

Next is sans.

Guys I'm sorry I'm a visor sans enthusiast.

Also I think he would keep a pillow under his shirt. Why? FOR NAPPING OFC.

Howdy please reblog my hyperfixations it makes me go yippee

Review: Wonderful cinematography and sets, coupled with a unique approach to the genre, outweigh some weaker ideas and pacing.

-----

Story: 2.5/5 - Despite its brevity, it loses some steam in the middle. Still, its approach to the genre is refreshing.

Performances: 3.5/5 - Solid, save for Thatcher, whose comedy sometimes misses the mark.

Editing: 4/5

Music: 2.5/5 - Unmemorable.

Effects & Props: 2.5/5

Stunts & Choreography: 3/5 - The fights use space well, though they're a bit stage play-esque at points.

Sets: 4/5 - Diverse, well-dressed, and largely realistic.

Trigger Warnings:

Very mild violence

Misogyny (not critiqued by the film)
