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.

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.

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.

Lineart of Neue & AU Variants Pt. 1

What Kind Of Clothing Should Neue & AU Variants Wear?

So I’m working on the final body lineart of each variant, mainly figure out their body types and totally not procrastinating on drawing their clothes cause I suck at drawing clothes.

Anyway, while I do have some ideas regarding clothing, I’m still having some trouble for most of them.

Basically as the title states, what kind of clothing should Neue and AU variants wear?

XTale Neue Rough Draft

This XNeue’s name is “Mono”.

Here is the rough draft:

He is based off the Bagot Goat.

He’s over an inch taller than Neue, and I decided to make his horns look like a “X” cause “X Tale”.

I didn’t know what to do with his pupils so I just did a X in one and a + in the other.

He’s a nervous boi.
