So I know these posts are supposed to have 5 in them, but I got so cheeky with my art last night and this morning, that I'm gonna be a bit impatient with this one. Typical, huh?

Thoughts on the narrator? Is he too annoying? I feel like he's annoying.

So here is where I will stop the first chapter because...*drum roll*...Fawn is going to remain a comic! The past week and half of uploads have shown me that it is possible to get a good 20+ pages done, and not feel overwhelmed, so I'm in it for the long haul!

Of course, this doesn't guarantee frequent uploads, but it does mean that I'm moving the goalpost for myself with the hope of finishing chapter 3 by the end of the year. It also means we'll get to visually see all characters introduced in Lugubriosity, which will be a ton of fun for me to reimagine.

So! The next step is getting that scrolling page done and making a post linking to it. Once that's completed, I'll continue to post lumps of finished pages of future chapters, as I've been doing with chapter 1, to allow you guys to give feedback before everything is transferred to the page scrolls. Sounds pretty nice, huh?

Also, what do you guys think of Starlah? Does she play a big role in future events? Maybe, maybe not, but gosh if she isn't a fun way to envision the birth of a gas giant.

I’ll gladly include the backstory for all three images for @alikthemurdercat! Which by the way, I want to thank you dearly for liking my posts and following my page. :)

This story starts with a young human woman named Laura who had recently moved from her grandparents home in the forest after she graduated with her nursing degree. Laura was only on her second day at the job when she was given a strange patient; a skeleton monster who had recently been arrested for getting into a physical altercation with his now ex girlfriend which resulted in a few minor injuries for him. Not so much for his ex girlfriend. Such a thing shouldn’t result in an assailant in custody dodging a holding cell for a hospital bed, but this skeleton was the brother of the newly elected governor, and that came with its perks. He was quite, but watched her with a smile.

Laura wouldn’t know better at the time, having no clue about his arrest as he was not handcuffed. So as she tried to remember what the seasoned nurse she was to shadow instructed of her—said nurse was off taking care of another patient as the hospital was severely understaffed—the skeleton man took a bite out of her hand out of seemingly nowhere.

Laura passed out.

she woke up two weeks later with a missing hand, and absolutely no idea what caused it. Her grandfather and a doctor appear shortly afterwards. She’s told she can soon head home, back in the forest, with her grandparents. As the two walk away, Laura over hears their conversation and discovers that while she lost consciousness, she was also raped, and the skeleton monster had gone missing. Unfortunately, the police weren’t making much of an effort to relocate him—likely due to his relationship with the governor.

As Laura and her grandfather drive home he tells her that her grandmother has a very special surprise waiting for her, and that despite her missing hand she is still as abled as anyone else. They will get through this together, he promises. She would just need to learn to give a mean knuckle sandwich with the other hand. Laura oddly feels nothing towards his words, nor her missing hand. She stays quiet as they make it higher up the mountain.

When they arrive at the cabin, it’s oddly quiet. Her grandfather makes note that all the lights are off and there is no smoke in the chimney. He calls for their German Shepherd who would often rush out the doggy door to greet him. No one comes. Her grandfather tells her to stay in the car as he goes to investigate, and Laura does just that.

She waits, and waits, and waits, but her grandfather doesn’t return.

It starts to get cold and unfortunately he took the keys with him to open the front door. Laura has no choice but to get out and go inside. As she climbs the porch, and opens the door, she finds the family dog lifeless by the mangled corpse of her grandmother. In the corner is a creature hunched over her disemboweled grandfather stuffing his face full of what was once a very kind man.

Laura runs, the creature follows. She makes it to the depths of the forest, too petrified to look back, but knowing it’s close by the rustle of the flora around them. There’s the shine of headlights in the distance. Laura screams, she trips, she tumbles. The creature lands on top of her, and as it sprays her family’s blood on her face, she is reminded of the skeleton monster in the hospital bed. She recognizes him completely despite his more disheveled look, and the loss of light in his sockets.

As she prepares to meet her grandparents in the afterlife, a shot goes off. It gets the monster at the tips of its skull which rains shards on her bloody face, and sends it running away in retreat. Laura can hardly move when a stranger enters her blurred vision. He offers her a hand to help her off the moist forest ground, and as she reaches up to grab it, she notices that it too is just pure bone.

Okay, so this is getting long winded, lol. I’ll need to add onto this to explain who that human man is in pic two, and also what the hell is going on in pic one.

Post #16 - Blast from the Past

♫ - What I’m currently listening to.

As I was going through old files, I found a lot of the artwork I've done for Undertale rps back on Discord. Man, weren't those crazy times that I miss dearly. Unfortunately, those serves no longer exist, so now these images only live on in folders on my computer.

I thought I'd share some with you to change that.

These are only three of many. A lot of the artwork wouldn't make much sense without context, but that's okay. If anyone would care to hear backstories of roleplay that only mattered to a group of 4, I'd definitely get long winded with you and share EVERYTHING--or at least that which I remember.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this little piece of a time gone.

Thanks so much for all the amazing votes! I will take the poll into account as well as any comments on this post, Discord, and comments on the fanfic. Stay tuned for the latest chapter to see how things play out for Sonia and Shadow.

Ps. I will leave the results up for any curious future readers.

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!

Post #10 - A Deer in the Snow

✔ - Vote in the poll.

Frisk was pretty clueless in Lugubriosity. Some of that naivety came from being a child, and some from memory loss. Without her knowledge of the past RESETs, Frisk was literally thrown into a world of the unknown. What are your opinions on Frisk being left in the dark? I debated allowing her to remember—at the very least she should remember Sans, but then again, she has Chara, so is it really necessary?

So let's quickly discuss the above. The last scene will happen slowly. We'll get environmental shots, background monsters interacting with Papyrus, so we'll get some establishing scenes. I want the community's perception of Papyrus to be very clear (regardless of whether it's admiration or fear). Perhaps we'll see a glimpse of Alphys? Perhaps Undyne? Perhaps not. It won't be long before he's in Snowdin's forest.

And then he sees her.

We have done it! We have reached the end of stage one. Despite this being small, I feel like it's a great victory. I definitely didn't think I would keep my attention on this project for as long as I did. Let's cross our fingers and hope I can keep it up! I'm also curious to know your thoughts on the plans for chapter 1.

I will be taking a bit of a break from daily posting. I want to get a few chapters written and up for my Sonic fanfic. Considering all of my free time has gone to working on Fawn, I think stepping back and taking a small breather before diving in head first into stage two might be best!

And lastly, I want to give a big thank you to everyone following along and even adding their feedback! It's exciting to know people have opinions on the story and want to help shape it.

We are finally getting started on the comic! Long time coming.

For those interested, the page dimensions are 6''x9'' inches with about a 0.5-inch border. This is standard sizing for a printed trade book. We can play around with different dimensions for spreads (likely 12''x9'' inches). Tumblr appears to favor print sizes over the typical webcomic scroll.

Any thoughts on the font used so far? On the page layout? I likely will not include comic sans/papyrus typefaces when the skeleton brothers are talking, though I am on the fence about this. I think it could either be a visual mess or a fun little nod to the game.

Below is the script containing the dialogue on page 1 (and some of page 2).

Discord server? 👀

Okay so my first New Year’s resolution is to get that Discord server up and ready. It’s already made I just need to finish the FAQ, Character Description, and Plot channels. Sorry this is taking so long, but I shall release the server very soon!

The above (if it sends right) is a good example of the scrolling format I'd love to use. I rewrote a ton of things, as well as changed the narrator to add a bit of that UT charm. What do you think about the coloring? Do you think it's too dull, too harsh? Too messy, or not messy enough?

Maybe it's fine and I'm just over-exaggerating.
