Dusttale: Revived | Character Concepts Pt.2

Here are my take on what I’m gonna call the Blookies.

I didn’t have a lot of ideas for their design, but then I was watching a playthrough of Ghostwire: Tokyo, where they encountered a Teru Teru Bozu (which kinda looks like a sheet ghost).

Also, some information about these versions:

Napstablook & Mad Dummy are siblings

Mettaton & Dummy (Ruins) are siblings

Napstablook & Mettaton are still cousins

Napsti Blooki (Napstablook)

Napstablook works as a DJ with his cousin in Hotland. He also works in coding, programming, & encryption for Dr. Serif.

He has a somewhat pessimistic & almost depressing demeanor, but has a calming aura that seems to keep everyone around him content & relaxed.

He prefers to be alone most of the time, but doesn’t mind being around a few other individuals (mainly his family, or MK).

Madsti Blooki (Madstablook)

Madstablook works as lookout & a bodyguard for the supply runners (albeit begrudgingly).

He’s pretty hot-tempered & isn’t afraid to start a fight for the pettiest of reasons. Though he does secretly care greatly about his family & friends, but he would rather burn alive than admitting that.

He & Dr. Serif bump heads pretty often & get into violent screaming matches (mainly due to a combination of Mads’s temper & V’s stubbornness).

Oddsta Blooki (Oddstablook)

Oddstablook works as lookout & to alert Dr. Serif whenever a human falls into the ground.

They’re incredibly hard to read, often wearing a blank expression. It’s impossible to fully know what they’re thinking. Only their family seems to know what they’re feeling.

They hardly ever talk, mainly using gestures or drawings to “talk”. Though they do occasionally giggle whenever someone tells a joke.

Hapsta Blooki (Hapstablook)

Hapstablook works as entertainment for the whole underground (at least to those who are remaining).

He tries his best to keep a positive mentality throughout the underground, still doing his shows to entertain the audience. Though it’s starting to show that he’s slowly lose hope & is having a tough time keeping up with his persona’s “fabulous” personality.

His robotic body was destroyed during the events of NPHRA. He’s been begging for Dr. Serif to rebuild it, but she keeps brushing him off, saying it’s a “waste of resources”.

I tried to keep their designs simple, but I think I might have overdone it with Hapstablook.

Dusttale: Revived | Character Concepts Pt.1

I’m going to be creating front & back views of character designs for what I’ve decided to call this “AU”, Dusttale: Revived.

In these blogs, I’ll show the design concept for a character along with a brief description of their role in the story.

As I stated before, this story is gonna focus more on the NPCs (at least in the first half). So most of these design concepts are gonna be side/background characters from the game (there are gonna be main/boss characters in the story as well).

Now onto the first 2 character designs:

Dr. Robert “Bob” Temmer:

Dr. Temmer is a scientist that works alongside Dr. Serif on testing & experimenting with the revised DT injections & their side effects.

He usually wears a tired & annoyed expression when out in public, but does get a hint of smile when his wife visits him at lunch.

He doesn’t fully agree with Dr. Serif’s way doing things, but doesn’t exactly have a lot of authority or power to fight back. So he just mumbles his complaints & avoids causing trouble.

Mrs. Temantha “Temmie” Temmer:

Temantha, or just Temmie, is the lovely wife & #1 supporter of Dr. Temmer.

They both use to live back in Waterfall in Temmie Village, but after an incident, they moved into the MTT Hotel (which was renovated to act as housing for the remaining survivors).

While many find her annoying & a bit too lovey-dovey with her husband, Temmie is able to make the most sour individual wear the biggest smile.

These are just the basic designs for now. I’ll most likely be creating more detailed character sheets for characters, but I just want to get a basic design concept & backstory done first.

Dusttale: Revived | Research Notes for DETERMINATION

What Do You Think The Human Souls Sound & Taste Like?

Ok so hear me out.

This is in reference to my take to Dusttale, or more accurately, the aftermath/sequel to Dusttale.

I’ve posted about this “revamp” of this AU in a previous post, but as a refresher:

This AU of an AU takes place after the events of Dusttale with some minor alterations. The story will mainly revolve around the survivors (heavily NPC based, with some main characters & my OC Vani). However, a few of the survivors try to bring back the dead by using a DT injections (much like in the game, except in this version: Alphys used Artificial Determination while the survivors use Determination collected from the human souls), also these new DT injections are mixed with the 7 human soul traits. This does work, but with some minor complications, which will be explained more in the notes.

Now to explain the question:

Basically the author of the notes is writing down their research & findings of each human souls; things like how common each trait are within humans, what injection they are used in, side effects of said injections, rpg style stats, etc. However there are 2 items of information that I might need some help on: What sound/pitch each soul trait makes &, for a hint of humor because “Undertale”, what each soul traits tastes like.

That’s where I looking to you all for assistance/headcanons for this.

*Side Note: When I say sound/pitch, I’m referring to the amount of Hertz (which I think is the measurement of sound wave frequency or pitch)*

*Side Side Note: In this AU, the red human soul trait is not Determination (since all humans have it) but instead is Willpower (I’ve seen a few saying it could be Love since its in red, but I think Willpower makes more sense)*

I already have the frequency picked for each soul, now I’m just trying to figure out what specific sound/noise they make.

Here’s what I have so far:

Ideas/Concepts for Dusttale: Reanimated

As I stated in a previous post, I’m gonna be doing a my sort of own spin on Dusttale on the side.

I’m first gonna start in character profile & information in regards to the story, as well as building their character. While the main characters from Undertale are relevant to this story, it’s actually gonna focus more on the NPCs, plus my OC Vani.

I’m planning on doing a character info & status sheet (like something found in infection AUs) along with a picture of how they’ll look. I’ll be doing the same to the reanimated monsters, or as I’ve been calling them “the Revived”.

If anyone has any better name suggestions for the AU or for the classification of the characters.

Neue AU Headshot Rough Drafts: Crimson

Here are the rough draft headshots for Crimson: Horrortale Neue:

I may have overdone it the hair, but in my defense: he hasn’t had his character arc/development yet. The basic idea is that Crimson is super insecure & self-conscious about his appearance (especially his face), so his hair is super long & thick to cover a good majority of his face.

You can’t really tell due to how the headshot is cropped, but one of his horns completely broke off with the base barely sticking out from his hair.

Also he’s gonna be one of few that’ll still have the “goat” eyes because it just looks natural on him & ~aesthetic~.

For reference regarding the hair, horns & ears; he’s based of the Dutch Landrace Goat (Picture not mine, found on Google):

Here’s a line of the headshot rough drafts so far:

While working on the headshot rough drafts for the AU variants of Neue, I’m also brainstorming on some concepts for, I guess a reimagining of a few AUs. This is not me trying to “improve” the original AU, it’s just me wanting to have some fun & doing my take of other AUs.

This is gonna be a veeeeeerrry looooong post.

The main 2 I’ll be working on are Horrortale & Dusttale.

I wanted to get opinions & suggestions for these concepts before delving too deep into these ideas. Please tell your thoughts on this & if I need to change/improve on.

Horrortale will be more appearance-based, meaning that I won’t be doing a lot of story building & it’s more of just redesigning the characters to look more “monstrous”. Basically they’ll be more animalistic or feral & their bodies would have gone through heavy changes to “adapt”.

*This is literally an excuse to draw the characters as big & scary horror movie style “monsters”. I guess this would make it similar to the Underworld AU, but the story or origin for the change would be similar to Horrortale, but takes place even further after the Neutral Route*

For right now, I’ve been calling this AU of an AU: Feral!Horrortale. But a few others are Dwellertale/Underdwell, Undercave/Cavetale, Carnitale & or Undermaw.

I’ve written a few ideas for their overall appearance based on Nocturnal & Cave-Adapted animals. I won’t list all of them otherwise this post will be way too long, but here are a few:

Eyes

Will become bigger

Pupils will become extremely dilated

Will become blind, either with cloudy Pupils or losing their eyes completely

Mouth

Jaw becomes much stronger

Able to be unhinged

Senses

Becomes extremely sensitive to light

Scent of smell & hearing will become much more heightened

May develop echolocation due to loss of sight

General Appearance

Depending on location, those in colder areas will become bigger, while those living in hotter areas will become smaller

Aging will slow down, longer lifespan

Psychological Changes

Will become much more aggressive & animalistic/feral

Start to communicate through nonverbal communication: clicking, chirps, barks, croaks, etc.

These are just a few of concepts for this version of Horrortale.

For Dusttale, it’ll be more story-based, but will have some illustrations here & there. The main differences is that Vani would be from this version & would detail an alternate ending for Vani, also this version would include Sans being “hired” to work for Nightmare.

Now before I go on about the basic concept for this AU, I’ll need to explain a few things first:

Sans’s Killing Spree: I don’t know if in the original he killed all monsters (I kept getting mixed answers or no answers at all), but in this version he only killed most monsters. There were a few that were able to get away & hide before Sans could get them; Sans only wanted to get enough EXP to reach LV 19 or 20 (I can’t decide which one yet). Vani, & probably characters like Monster Kid, Napstablook & Mettaton (Ghost Form), would be one of these survivors.

*As a side note: Papyrus in this AU is an actual ghost & not a hallucination, but I’ll go over that in another post*

Frisk & Chara: In this AU, Frisk & Chara are basically “organic” A.I. attached to a “Real World Anchor” aka Frisk’s body/vessel. Chara was the original concept for the “Fallen Human”, but was scrapped due to them being too “independent & free-willed”. Frisk is the current concept prototype for the “Fallen Human”, made from original data & a blank template; however bits of Chara’s A.I. was used as filler for missing information within Frisk’s A.I., this causes Chara to appear as a glitched phantom (good example of this would be Glitchtrap from FNaF Help Wanted). Chara has little to no control over Frisk, instead they can only give “suggestions” to hopefully influence Frisk’s actions.

The Player: The Player is depicted/described as a higher entity or deity, they could be seen as the “Angel” sent to create peace between humans & monsters (this is based off the theory that the rune we see throughout the game is a depiction of 2 monsters, a human & an angel). The Player at the beginning of the route will have minimal control over Frisk, mainly able to give “directions or actions” that Frisk should follow. But the more EXP that is gained, the more control the Player will have over Frisk. This could cause a total takeover with the Player “ejecting” the A.I. from the anchor aka vessel.

How Did Vani Survive: In the most simplistic way of describing: she can’t die, her soul will automatically heal itself/her. Now in further details: Vani was born with (what I’ll be calling for now) a glitched soul; this causes the soul to look, well glitched out. However it has an ability to automatically heal itself & its body, but not through the usual way; via magic or healing items. Whenever Vani takes damage, the soul will “reload” her back to the point/time & placement right before she takes damage; however the world around her is not affected or altered by this ability, to everyone around her: she looks like she’s “lagging” or “glitching”. Fortunately, or more like unfortunately, this ability is automatically & Vani is unable to “deactivate” it; it use to be super over efficient (would activate if Vani took 1HP or less), but started to calm down has Vani got older (would activate if Vani loses half or more). Even if her HP reaches 0, the soul will activate its ability & essentially “resurrect” Vani; this is what happened when Sans was trying to kill her.

Ok now that that’s out of the way, the basic concept of this AU is…

BRINGING BACK THE DEAD!!!

Or Vani & the remaining monsters tried to improve on the artificial DETERMINATION to resurrect the fallen monsters. But it still causes them to melt, but can gain stability by “merging” with other monsters or inanimate objects (sticks, plants, sturdy clothing, etc.).

This obviously a huge info dump, but I’m super excited about this & I wanted to get everyone’s opinion or suggestion before I go too deep in.

Neue AU Headshot Rough Drafts: Latin

Here are the rough draft headshots for Latin: Swapfell Red Neue:

Latin was originally created to “even out” the Swaps, but I started to like him more as a character and will be creating a backstory for him as well. Though he’ll probably just be a side/background character.

I ended up kinda using the 2019 design for Swapfell Neue as reference for designing him:

For reference regarding the hair, horns & ears; he’s based of the Valdostana Goat (Picture not mine, found on Google):

Here’s a line of the headshot rough drafts so far:

Gonna be honest, I don’t know what’s going on with his hair. I tried to make it look like a Mohawk, don’t know how well that transferred over.

Neue AU Headshot Rough Drafts: Avenir

Here are the rough draft headshots for Avenir: Fellswap Gold Neue:

Much like Miriam (in that he’ll play a minor/background role or a one off), he’s by far in my top favorite characters I’ve made. He’s so pretty & elegant, at least to me anyways.

Avenir is on of my first tries at making a trans character: specifically female to male (I’m working more on his backstory, I’m debating if Avenir transitioned due to “political”/royal duty reasons rather than personal/identity reasons.) If anyone has any suggestions on how I can improve at portraying a trans character, please leave a comment.

Also you can’t tell from the headshot, but in the simple design he has his real horns out (which are thinner, smaller & damaged), while in the detailed design he’s wearing fake horns (much bigger & “grander”).

For reference regarding the hair, horns & ears; he’s based of the Valais Blackneck Goat (Picture not mine, found on Google):

Here’s a line of the headshot rough drafts so far:

Neue AU Headshot Rough Drafts: Miriam

Here are the rough draft headshots for Miriam: Swapfell Neue:

Even though Miriam is most likely gonna be a side/background character or a one off sort of character, she is one of my favorites. I hope she radiates “sassy gremlin” & “I’m the main villain of this story” sort of vibe. I’m debating on if I should make her shorter or not. She’s currently around 4’6”, but I think it would be funny to give Ink some competition.

For reference regarding the hair, horns & ears; she’s based of the Pygmy Goat (Picture not mine, found on Google):

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):

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 Headshot Rough Drafts: Albus

Albus is basically from Underswap: Blueberry Flavored, which is just a longer way of saying he’s from the “Fanon” Underswap (Blueberry) rather than the “Canon” Underswap (Blue or Swap).

Here are the rough draft headshots for Albus: Underswap/Blueberry Neue:

As I stated before, Albus is based off the beta design for Underswap Neue that I made back in late 2019/2020:

I obviously tried to update his design, but still keep that energetic & child-like excitement demeanor.

For reference regarding the hair, horns & ears; he’s based of the Jämtland Goat (Pictures not mine, found on Google):

Here’s a line of the headshot rough drafts so far:

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.

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.

Neue AUs Headshots Rough Draft: Roman

Roman is on of my first tries at making a trans character: specifically male to female. (She’s fine with She/He pronouns). If anyone has any suggestions on how I can improve at portraying a trans character, please leave a comment.

For reference regarding the hair, horns & ears; she’s based of the Pygora Goat (Picture not mine, found on Google):

Here’s a line of the headshot rough drafts so far:

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.

Neue AUs Headshots Rough Draft: Neue

So I’m working on doing headshots for the different AU variants of Neue.

I’m mainly want to work on the head/facial areas of the characters, & figure out how I want their appearance (hair, eyes, horns, ears, etc.) to look like.

I’m going to do 2 headshot rough drafts each character: one with a simple hair/horn design & one with a more detailed hair/horn to match the goat breed they’re based on.

Here is the first rough drafts of Undertale Neue, the original:

For reference regarding the hair, horns & ears; he’s based of the Angora Goat (Picture not mine, found on Google):

I don’t know if it looks like it, but I was trying to give him curly hair since the wool coat looks curly to me (I also had to look up what mohair was).

I’m going to be changing the eyes to normal pupil lights instead of the goat pupil, since it looks more “natural”. However there will be a few characters that will still have it.

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.

AU Neues & Concept Idea

Sorry I haven’t posted in a while, but I was doing some “research” for basically a “my take” of an AU, specifically Horrortale. But I also tried to revamp my list AUs that I want to draw Neue in, mainly AUs regarding the Bad & Star Sanses.

I’m currently working on a yearbook style headshots for all the AUs that I’m gonna draw Neue in (25 in total 🙃).

However, I wanted to discuss more about a story or slice of life headcanon for the “Sanses” & “Neues” within the Bad & Star Sanses, along with a few others that the Neues are friends with.

Main AUs

Horrortale

Dusttale

Something New/Killer AU

X-Tale

Underswap

Blank Template (My AU)

Dreamtale

I’m also gonna include some “Neues” who will have a bigger main role, but will eventually become more side/background characters: specifically Epictale & Underkeep Neue.

There’s another AU variant that’ll be included, Georgia or Gigi (Underlust Neue) which was inspired by @vantriloquist for Passion & Plum! I have a few ideas for him.

Basically it’s gonna be going over the “home-life” of the Bad Sanses & Neues, what they were like when they first got there, how their relationship works, & just generally more character building for my OCs.

I have posted some rough drafts for a few of the AUs listed above, but I’m definitely gonna be doing some touch ups/redesign once I get their personalities figured out.

It’s gonna generally revolve around Crimson (Horrortale Neue), Vani (Dusttale Neue), Sabon (Killer AU Neue) & Gisha (X-Tale Neue); with bits of Merrriweather (Underswap Neue) & Canvas (Blank Template Neue). I might include Eras & Lucida (Dreamtale “Neues”) along with a few joke “AUs” of an AU.

If ya’ll have questions or even your own headcanons for this, please comment them down below!

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.

Finished/Colored Lineart: Nova

Here is the finished final draft for Nova:

I know that all space prints clothing are probably clashing with each other, but it also fits his personality of not caring about what he wears as long as he’s comfortable. I wanted to give a shirt that said “SPAAAAAAAAACE!!!”, but you wouldn’t be able to see it because of his jacket.

Also here’s the lineart for just the body as well:

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.

Neue & AU Variants: Clothing Rough Draft Pt.5/6

Here are the clothing rough drafts for Quire, Gisha & Styx.

Quire

Gisha

Styx

Sorry it took forever to do these 3, I didn’t have a lot of ideas except for a very basic concept.

Not gonna lie, I can’t draw flowers that well so I just pasted some pics of flowers on Quire to get a basic idea for placement, points for ya’ll if you can guess the flowers and what they symbolize.

I also found out that XTale was technically a Swap AU, which meant I had to make a few changes to Gisha, mainly personality and clothing ideas, I might remove the crown. (I also changed Gisha’s name from Mono, and made them Non-Binary).

I don’t have much to say about Styx, I was debating on drawing birds on his horns; side note: he’s gonna play an interesting role along side Quire and Gisha.
