Rough Draft of Merriweather (Underswap Neue)
It’s not pictured here, but she carries a massive war hammer as her weapon of choice. I decided to give her a more “knightly” appearance rather than a “princess-y” appearance similar to her first design.
Also in regards to all of the Neue variants, I gonna add some gender-specific biological differences to their appearances.
Example:
-Males will have larger & thicker horns, long ears & thicker tails.
-Females will have smaller & thinner horns, longer ears & thinner tails, along with a permanent “ecto-body” for the upper torso to form the chest.
-Non-binary will have traits that are in between both of these.
Neue AUs Headshot Rough Drafts Pt. 1 cont.
Here are the detailed versions since I can only post 10 pictures at a time.

Neue AUs Headshot Rough Drafts Pt. 1
So I outlined & colored the top row of the rough drafts.

I used black outlining & base colors for the simplified headshots, while using colored outlining & rendered colors for the detailed headshots.
I really like how most of them turned out; Albus is so far my favorite, while Courier is my least favorite (it’s mainly because I didn’t have a set design for them, so they were kinda designed on the spot, their design will most likely change in the future).
I’m working on character profiles (as in a wiki about them) that I’ll eventually post when I figure everyone’s character. I’m open to any suggestions/ideas/headcanons/improvements because I want to hear your opinions, so please comment down below.
Enough rambling, here are the first set of headshots (along with a small peek on who’s next):
Here are some up close pictures as well (sorry if they look blurry):
Along with individual pictures (again; sorry if they’re blurry):
Neue AU Headshot Rough Drafts: Courier
Courier is basically from Underswap: Yanberry Flavored, which is just a longer way of saying they’re from the “Yandere Sans” Underswap rather than the “Canon” Underswap (Blue or Swap).
Here are the rough draft headshots for Courier: Underswap/Yanberry Neue:
They’re one of the few that I didn’t have any previous design for, so I had to make it up as I went. It’s most likely going to change in the future.
For reference regarding the hair, horns & ears; they’re based of the Anglo-Nubian Goat (Pictures not mine, found on Google):
Here’s a line of the headshot rough drafts so far:
Neue AU Headshots Rough Draft: Merriweather
Here are the rough draft headshots for Merriweather: Underswap Neue:
So I mentioned in a previous post that I’ll be adding some “joke” AUs to story regarding the Star/Bad Sanses & Neues. The AUs im referring to are Fanon Underswap (the one with Blueberry or as I call him “Bluwubewwy”) & Yandere Underswap (the one with Yanberry). Which means that I’ll be make Neue variants for these AUs, I’m actually gonna use a beta design of Underswap Neue for one of these.
For reference regarding the hair, horns & ears; she’s based of the Finnish Landrace Goat (Pictures not mine, found on Google):
Here’s a line of the headshot rough drafts so far:
I didn’t like the original design that I had for her, so I’m gonna be making some changes. It’s kinda hard to see in the headshot, but her hair is now in a high ponytail & I want to change her dress into a more “adventure/knight” themed outfit, so she has armor & a cape.
I wanted her to have a more “Energetic & playful, but mature & serious” vibe, since she would be next in line to become Queen (I’m basing this after the Neutral Route) & she’s fighting along side her father against the Bad Sanses & Neues.
On a side note, if y’all want to hear “headcanons” for Crimson(Horrortale Neue), Vani(Dusttale Neue), Sabon(Something New Neue), or Gisha(X-Tale); please leave a comment.
Update & Upcoming Artwork
Sorry I haven’t posted anything Undertale related for a month, I was taking a break then got super into another fandom so started to work on art for that, then I took another break and then I got sick for almost 2 weeks.
So for a long story short: I basically took a long break to rethink some things.
I think I got a bit overwhelmed with the amount of characters/AU variations that I ended up burning out.
But now, I’m gonna start on a project revolving around Neue AU Variants based on the Star Sanses and Bad Sanses. This will include the following:
-Eras (“Son”/Student of Dream)
-Lucida (“Daughter”/Student of Nightmare)
-Merriweather (Daughter of Underswap Sans)
-Crimson (Son of Horrortale Sans)
-Gisha (Child of Cross Sans)
-Vani (Daughter of Dust Sans)
-Sabon (Son of Killer Sans)
-Canvas (Student of Ink Sans)
Along with a few more.
Obviously for a few of these I haven’t completed their rough drafts yet, but for the ones I did, I’ll be redrawing/redesigning their appearances.
If anyone has any suggestions/questions for these characters, please feel free to comment down below.
Character Information Pt. 2
Here is another info dump regarding a few of the characters.

Merriweather - UNDERSWAP
Merriweather, or just Merrie, has the ability to summon a massive warhammer, think Sardonyx from Steven Universe or Tinkaton from Pokémon. However, she does get a bit overexcited when using it, looking a big unhinged but she’s just really excited to use it.
Miriam - SWAPFELL
Miriam can also summon a weapon as well, a huge spiked flail, something like Sweetheart’s from OMORI but bigger. I would actually imagine her voice to be similar to the Man on the Internet lyrical video of World’s End Valentine.
Avenir - FELLSWAP (GOLD)
Much like his Underfell counterpart, Avenir is Trans: female to male. This started out due to him thinking that he had to be a man to be taken seriously by his people, but grew to love his new identity & officially transitioned when he was older. His original name was Aldria.

These are just a few facts for now, please comment down below what I could improve upon or your headcanons for these characters.
Finished/Colored Lineart: Merriweather
I’ve decided to go with the “colored” outline rather than the black outline, just makes the piece pop and definitely gives off a vibe of their personality.
Here is the finished final draft for Merriweather:
Also here’s the lineart for just the body as well:
