Post #16 - Blast From The Past

how long will the hiatus be?

If all goes according to plan, (and so far so good) I should get a chapter done a day--perhaps two chapters a day for the shorter ones. This edit is only to ensure the plot makes sense, the story is engaging, and the characters are consistent. I'm sticking very closely to notes, and once again, not focusing too much on grammar and prose.

All that to say; this hiatus should be about a month, give or take. Of course, nothing is certain, and I will need to fatten up a couple of chapters which could take a bit more time. Even if a few chapters take me two days to complete I should still get it done in the one month time span since the story has only 24 chapters. :)

Post #5 - Ballet Practice 

♫ - What I’m currently listening to.

As she flapped her tiny wings to mimic her graceful instructor, Papyrus was made aware of the fluttering in his soul. Sans gawked at the woman’s long slender legs, and Papyrus gawked at cute chubby ones. Sans drooled over perky breast, and Papyrus couldn’t see beyond the baby fat hugging the tiny ballerina in the woman’s shadow. 

Back then it was okay to stare even if she was only 5. Back then he could get away with it, but as he aged, his attraction stayed, and now he'd never have the tiny ballerina. 

My vacation should be work free, but I find myself plagued with thoughts of this comic that whenever I can find some free time between swimming and relaxing, I'm drawing or writing. Good news is, I know the five scenes that will be displayed in the first chapter. The one above is the first.

We’ll open with Sans and Papyrus waiting in a dance studio as their father argues with a mysterious someone in her office. As they wait, the two boys perv on the practicing ballerinas, and Papyrus is made aware of his blooming paraphilia. This scene will be a flashback, and the above is just a quick rendition of what it would consist of. Of course, there will be several panels, I'm thinking perhaps three pages for this particular scene, and we'll get more inside Papyrus’ head through silent visuals.

I may take a break from posting tomorrow. The last thing I want is for this project to feel like a chore since, knowing me, I’ll get overwhelmed and shut down. That said, I do want to thank you (yes, you) for reading these posts and/or liking, reposting, and following. I’m still surprised even one other person is interested in this. 

hi! just wondering, when will the next chapter of immature interest come out?

Very good question since I’ve been a very neglectful author. 😅 I plan on working on the rough draft for the next chapter tomorrow. If my writers block doesn’t kick me in the gut, we just might have the next chapter by this weekend.

Post #11 - A Step Towards Background Design

♫ - What I’m currently listening to.

✔ - Vote in the poll.

After a much-needed break, I am happy to return and try to crack down on one important element of comic creation; backgrounds. Being a lazy artist, (everything must be created within a short time frame, or oops, there goes my attention span) sitting down to render a well-thought-out scene is the bane of my existence. At least with writing, it is easier to say what I envision. With visual art, there requires a bit more skill and time to bring an idea to life. So naturally, I am no expert at setting a compelling scene, but I plan to take the next 7 days to change that.

We're heading to art school at YouTube University. We'll have a lot to learn. Everything from the composition, to the perspective, to the layout of a background. I will try to pick up the basics, and hopefully improve as the comic gradually progresses. By the time the last page is drawn, and before the project comes to an end, I hope to have a product that is alluring to gaze upon.

I hope to have something that invokes a strong emotion within the viewer.

The images in this post are the three base categories of study; interior, exterior, and wider landscape/cityscape shots.

I wanted to track my progress, as well as see how much I currently know, (spoiler alert, not much) so the above was drawn without references. They are the barebone sketches that currently plague my portfolio. Something quick, something easy. I can't say for sure that this will change all that drastically, but my main goal is to find the happy medium between my lazy art and a compelling scene to stare at.

I will be releasing a post sometime next week that will detail the aesthetic direction I want to take the world. There's going to be a little more thought put into the details to create something that fits with the themes of the fanfic while still keeping true to the Undertale elements. There will be a mood board accompanying the post, (with a few images from my trip) so you'll get a bit more insight into exactly what I mean.

One last thing to touch on, I recently re-read a comment on The Salt Circle regarding the look of the Frisks/Charas, and though this story has nothing to do with that one, it did leave me thinking about the designs of the characters. The poll is still active, and currently, we have two options that are neck and neck; starting from scratch with a brand new AU, or going with Swapfell Gold. I think I will leave the poll up until my big post next week to see which one will win, but I am liking the idea of something new and of our own. Something made just for Fawn. Of course, as a project, I want to share and build along with readers. Therefore, the majority rules, but I suppose we'll have to see which answer wins before really cementing any ideas.

In the meantime; I will be starting the first day of background building tomorrow. We'll start things off easy by referencing the official map of the Underground as well as Clipstudio's guide on How to draw iconic cityscapes.

The longest a Tumblr poll can last is about a week, so unfortunately that is the time limit for this poll. By the end of the week this post will be deleted, and the results will determine Sonia’s fate. I’ll be sure to post the results in the Fanfic.

Thanks again for 20k hits!

♫ - More music because why the hell not.

I'm totally overposting today, but I found this! And omg! I really like the art style I was going for with it. I think that's Edge (left) and Stretch (right).

Anyway, I need to get out of that folder, because I found a "manga" I was working on (what the fuck!!!!) as well as like art from an old Instagram account from my first year of college that I can't even remember if I deleted or not. But man if that art isn't edgyyyy.

oh yeah, baby...wasn't I just cringe, but I'm loving it. I'm here for it.

I might need to make a second blog to dump all this art onto. So maybe this will be the last un-fanfic related thing on this account? Idk man. That'll take work and there isn't like a rule against shitting up my own feed with art that has fuck all to do with Fawn, right? Right?!?! What are rules anyway?

ETA: I also found flipping porn I drew of Sans getting—okay! So anyway that probably won’t see the light of day.

Okay, so another update. Yay! This one is pretty...heavy. I kinda wanted to keep the artwork vague, but do you think the abuse is being clearly portrayed here?

What AU Should Fawn Be?

What AU Should Fawn Be?

As we are approaching the end of stage one, I decided that I would put a poll together to help with the decision on what AU to use for Fawn. Please feel free to vote and add your honest feedback! I will be keeping the poll up until stage four when the illustrations need to be finalized, so absolutely no rush.

If you would like to comment, but remain anonymous, type “Anon” and a series of numbers in the “name” text box. At the end of the poll, only the results will be shown.

just a question, ive been seeing lots of discourse in the comments of immature interest. whats ur thoughts on it? i mean, is your story meant to erotic? is it meant to be critical of the actions of the characters? cause theres some people saying "its like that to show how fucked up they are" while other people are like "i wanna see them do this taboo thing". just curious, as the author, where u stand in all of this.

Absolutely none of my stories are intended as smut unless I state otherwise. I think people tend to grow confused because I depict situations in a detailed and graphic manner, and we’re often in the heads of the predators and how they view the situation.

I tend to hope that my depicting the harmful psychological effects the victim’s suffer through afterwards, how the world around them reacts to the events (ex.: Knuckles going to the cops after Sonic tells him he raped Amy despite him not wanting to see his best friend go to prison) and just the antagonistic nature of the predators make it clear the story isn’t praising them. We’re supposed to hate Sonic and Shadow in Immature Interest. We’re supposed to feel uncomfortable when Sonic fantasizes about harming Tails. We should despise Vanilla for what she did, and we shouldn’t want Shadow to succeed in the end.

I don’t often care to moderate my comments as people are free to call me and my story gross all they want, or praise it, or I guess ask that Tails have his prostate stimulated by the doctors or whatever.

Personally, my fanfics are outlets, and I find comfort in writing the things that I do. Just because I can write these detailed horrific situations doesn’t mean I fantasize about them, or want them inflicted on anyone, quite the opposite actually. That is like stating all horror authors are serial killers because they write about murder. Clearly, this is not true.

Thanks for this ask, btw! I hope this clears up a lot of confusion. :)
