Thank You @browniieee! Your Artwork Is Gorgeous And I Feel Overjoyed That My Story Touched You Enough

Took a bit to find my motivation but found it, I wanted to try and draw Silvers explosive imagination scene since I read it. I know it rough looking but hey, I’m rather happy with the result.

This is absolutely amazing! I love how hectic his expression is. I’m really happy with the results as well.

Post #4 - Ready, Set, Go

♫ - What I’m currently listening to.

In the interest of preventing this blog from becoming a place to dump my fanart, I have put together a loose roadmap so I (and you) know what stages are ahead. I will go into more detail in individual posts a little later. 

Starting off, I obviously need a story. I have an idea of what I want this first chapter to be, (and when speaking only in terms of the comic, the first chapter is what mainly matters) but it’s the finer details that are still lost on me. 

What AU will I use? Will the story be a sequel or a reboot? Should the different resets factor into this fanfic, or should Papyrus be a pedo from his very inception? 

For the sake of not complicating matters too much, I will ignore these questions, (bad idea, I know) and instead the above roadmap will only focus on the skeletal structure (heh) of the fanfic. We’re building the foundation of the world, establishing characters in relation to each other, throwing in a bit of foreshadowing for later, and that will be about it. We’ll consider the meat and potatoes as the story develops further, and that will be beyond the comic.

What joy plotting can be.

Post #24 - Lugubriousity Rewrite

♫ - What I’m currently listening to.

First, I want to thank everyone for such warm reception for the last page of chapter one of FAWN. Seeing all the reblogs and likes just lit up my whole week.

Now onto the topic of this blog. As I was reading through Lugubriousity to prepare for the next chapter of the comic, I realized just how sloppy the story is. Yes, I know this very fact is the reason I started this project in the first place, but I feel so compelled to just clean things up, make it better. That’s what I’m currently doing. I will be releasing a PDF containing the first part of the story soon, before moving onto the second part, and lastly the third part sometime afterwards. I already wrote three new chapters for the beginning of part one, and I’m in the process of editing the rest to create a more comprehensive narrative.

The characters are going to have personalities much closer to canon, the setting of the Underground is more expanded and complex, and I will hopefully rid the fic of its many plot holes. Oh! And it’s no longer told in the Underfell universe, but a standalone one uniquely for Lugubriousity/FAWN. All previous tags still apply, so major content warning. I’m excited to get this out for readers to enjoy.

These 3 PDFs will be the new “canon” narrative that the comics will draw from.

That doesn’t mean I will be taking down the original, no not at all! It will stay up on Ao3 for all to read and enjoy, and in order for me to track my writing progress.

Now I have a question for you guys; should I upload the rewrite to Ao3, or only stick with the PDF copies that anyone can pass around and do with as they wish (beyond sell since I believe that is illegal for fanfiction)?

Okay, so that was quite a bit. I'm going to make an effort to get this chapter off the ground in a timely manner. Big post is still coming soon (probably tomorrow).

Back from the Grave

Hello! It’s been 90 long neck-breaking years—or just one month, but I’m happy to be done with this round of edits for my novel.

I’m currently in a mood of absolute hatred towards that cursed book, and I just want nothing to do with it, but that could be due to all the dissection and reconstruction I had to suffer through. When I usually write fanfiction, I’ll get the rough draft done, and then do one edit (if I’m feeling pretty spicy I might do two) and then I post and instantly reap the reward of being done with a chapter for good.

With my original novel not only am I going back and do edit after edit, but I need to do it over the span of 300 pages, 70k words, and no long breaks in between. When I say I have never felt so overwhelmed by writing, well, I’ve never felt so overwhelmed by writing. And the editing is not fun on top of that, not at all, and this isn’t even the last round I need to do! And after I finish my part I still need to get a line/copywriter and then the beta readers, and then proofreader…it’s never-ending!

But, when I finally get to the end, there will be no greater feeling. I’ll feel so proud, so accomplished, because I would’ve done it. I would’ve published my own novel, and that alone reminds me that all this torturous work is well worth it.

There will be a new post for Fawn soon. Getting this project done will allow me to let out a major sigh of relief, because damnit, if I could just get a single chapter of a comic done that would be super ultra amazing. Once I finish with chapter 1, I’ve been debating changing course and trying to create a comic rendition of my Sonic fic—but God, if my Sonic Character drawing skills say hell no! Let’s not even…

Oh! And I almost forgot to include a song.

How's that discord coming along? 👀

Surprisingly, it is going really well! I’m simply waiting on finishing the character sheets and the related artwork before I release it to the public.

are their any plans to show off other projects like the salt circle then just fawn related things?

Sorry I’m answering this super late. Tumblr is a bit wonky with the notifications after I turned off the follower alerts (I have been getting back to back bots flooding my notifications that it just became tiresome to block them all).

Will I expand to other projects? I have been thinking about it. It would be a lot of fun to draw the comparisons between the different Sans, Papyri, and Frisks/Charas. I’d also love to showcase the island and the odd infrastructure found within. I’m currently in a mood for experimentation, and I plan to release a blog post soon that will explore the different cultural aesthetics I wish to visually represent in my Undertale stories.

So! Will I expand? As of right now, I don’t know. I need to prove to myself that I can get this project done. If I reach that goal I’d be more than willing to move onto sketches and renditions for The Salt Circle. It would even be fun to recreate a chapter or two in comic form.

AND I'M BACK! Somehow I managed to finish the first draft of my novel in a matter of 20 days! I feel so accomplished—only now I have a ton of editing to do, and a million other things that come before publishing a novel.

That will be for future me. The current me is excited to get into the swing of things. Behold the next page that I started last month and I'm only now finishing...

Let's hope page 4 doesn't take as long.

And here is Asgore...two weeks later lol.

Post #25 - Lizard Daddy

♫ - What I’m currently listening to.

The title in the image does not say "Ai", but "AL". I just now noticed that it looks that way lol.

As I continue to update "The Worst Kinda Curse", I thought creating some concept art for Alphys' father, Al, would be fun. In the fic, he's described as big and imposing, but I have this habit of humanizing the monsters. So, I gave him two forms just to visually play around with different ideas. I like his color scheme as it reminds me of a rooster.

Would anyone care to see more sketches of characters from that story? I might make a few for "The Salt Circle" too.

And that makes the end of scene 2! I wanted to get the first page of scene 3 out before my hiatus, but we'll need to wait until I return. We have about 3-2.5 more scenes to go. I'm excited to make it through the drafting process. If I stick to my plan, chapter 1 will be about 25 pages, give or take. Once that's done, we will start to color. I'm thinking about using the same coloring technique as this post.

Anyway, wish me luck on draft 2 of my book! Hopefully, it doesn't take me too long.

See you soon! :)
