Motivation and an Idea
I am currently trying to draw my characters, but since I kind of struggle with that, I decided to take a break from that today and rather start figuring out how to write about them. Then I realized, it's probably best, if I first introduce the main idea that connects all (/most) of them.
As I started, I had two things: motivation and an idea.
After I played Undertale for the first time, I discovered the huge fandom behind it and realized that the world I loved so much had a whole other dimension to it (literally 😂). I saw the great content people made, like art or music. That made me plant the little seed of motivation into my head. I was thinking, maybe I could make something that great as well.
That was the moment I started to write a story. I didn't feel too confident to draw anything, so the best thing I could do was write. I was really proud of how it turned out. It was pretty basic and stuck to the normal game. I also had this idea (not the one I was talking about up there, but it's important for where I am now) that I was suppressing, since I wanted to focus on my AU.
One evening, I decided to give that idea a chance and after I kept dreaming the entire night about it, I spent the entire morning putting it into words. The phase after that, I call the downfall. My problem is that I am a perfectionist. So I kept rewriting the chapters until I finally managed to break the story for myself. After ten attempts, an almost finished first chapter with thirty pages, almost a year time spent running in circles and a couple other reasons I finally managed to kind of let go. (I still think there could maybe the possibility that I might be able to tell that story, but for now it's best to leave it behind. I also kind of can't let entirely go. For example: I use the main character in my profile pic 😊)
After realizing that I needed to stop since it lead nowhere, I needed something new to be obsessed with. While writing, I also wrote down a couple of ideas for potential later characters. And as I reviewed what I had collected, I realized that two of them would fit quite well as a duo. First, I still wanted to include my old character as well, but I let go of that after another month.
Now, that I've explained my motivation, it's time to present my idea! (... why is this becoming so long? 😅)
I wanted to take the concept of the genocide run in another light. I mean sure, there were so many worlds out there, where people just killed for fun or they didn't have another choice. My first characters lean more into the category of it being an accident. Since this was the main concept I was going by, I called my AU 'Club of Genociders' (by now, I don't really like that name but it still fits and I have currently no better idea how to name it.)
After FINALLY having explained my main concept (and rambling too much 😂) I can tell that this little idea snowballed into such a huge story. I am still struggling to put it all into words, so I figured it's best to share what I have to avoid making the same mistakes again. but what's most important, I love the way everything is evolving. From the characters, over the storyline to major plot twists. I also realized that I keep adding new possible characters to the story (not sure if I'll include them all though. That really depends on how the story turns out.)
If you made it this far, thanks for reading 😊 (I really didn't want to make it that long 😅)
My other blog...
I had for maybe around a month or so another blog where I wanted to introduce my idea for an Undertale-AU. Emphasis on had. I deleted it because it was quite a struggle to keep things separated.
That doesn't mean I will stop to work on this idea. It's actually quite the opposite. I am still so inspired and love these characters I created since the beginning of the year. I decided to finally accept my chaotic way of thinking and will now post everything I have worked on so far, so I can still keep a current state and not be stuck between where I chronologically am and the place I have already new ideas of what could happen.
So, I now need to sort out all of this unorganised mess I've created to post it here. I am excited 😁
(also, I want to draw them more and the current scenes are so much better than the ones in the beginning 🤩)
YEEEAS!!! I was just wondering, haven't skeched a sans for a longer time... Could I apply the methods I've learned so far to a sans-face?
And it works somehow 😁 I just need to keep in mind that his head is much shorter than a usual head, but my method still works 😃 And finally I managed to do this messy art style which I really like but I was never able to draw like that, thanks to perfectionism.
I am so excited right now about how this will continue 🤩

More training faces 😁 Finally, I managed to draw extreme up and down angles. Next up will be left and right 😃
I am also playing around with light and shadow and still need to figure out how I can make the eye area. I know it's somehow bent inwards but I couldn't quite get it yet. I guess there will be no way around as I draw left and right.
(so exited to see if I could make some crazy animation stuff with that knowlege 🤩)
Lately, I have been annoyed with how I draw faces, so I figured, I try something new and actually LEARN anatomy instead of drawing what I think it looks like. (I mean, that method worked until now, and if I could travel back in time, I wouldn't change my approach to learning to draw. The most important is having fun, am I right?)
By now, I only figured out two directions (and some in between) but it's interesting to finally understand how the face is supposed to work. Additionally, it helps with shading. I still didn't quite get the area for the eyes but I also have some other perspectives to learn to draw, so I might figure it out as I continue.
Thought I might share this over here and next up will be facing down, left and right. I also still need to find a way to adapt it to my style. But for now, I am pretty proud of these 😃
I had the idea for this picture about a week ago and I finally found some time to get to a point where I can call it complete (I know I have been lazy on the background, but I like it that way 😃)
I really enjoyed working with different techniques and even some I've just touched rarely. Moreover, I am really proud of my shading technique, the lighting and the blur 🤩
Hope you like it 😃
Honestly, it's been a while since I have drawn a sans after all that working on my AU. It feels great seeing how much you improve as an artist over time and how your style adapts to your current interests. This picture is like a "take all that you've learned so far and use it" and it turned out great 😀 (just got to admit that I got a little lazy with the background 😅)
Anyways, I had fun drawing that and I hope you like it 😁(I am also trying from now on to cross-post here and on my devianart, let's see how this will turn out)
