Maddaton EX otherswap. I love her.

Battle sprites for the main cast are here!!! The majority of these are edits of their original sprites but a few are completely new. I already showed off Dess and King RUDOLPH last month but Flowey is here now too.

Undyne's pose is changed here a bit to resemble Papyrus'; she's a bit more... enthusiastic.... about capturing humans so she has her spear at the ready. Alphys was a bit of a challenge since her original pose was pretty scrunched but I think this came out well. I'm not any expert at pixel art so if anything looks off it probably is.

Papyrus' pose is slightly changed here too. I was in between how to shade his armor since Undyne's original sprite is very dark but I think this way is best so you can clearly see the face on his armor. Sans is also here. I tried to do as minimal edits as possible. Papyrus is designed by @sunfloraas.

Sad Dummy, Glam Dummy, and his scissors/dummy minion. I added arms and a more rounded head shape to the original dummy sprites. Glam Glitter-kun is one of the completely new sprites, based off Mettaton EX's pose! It made sense to me that Glitter-kun (the anime character) would have a haughty pose in merchandising so it's a match made in heaven. Glam Glitter-kun is designed by @paintedhen.

I really like Noteblook's little pouty face. Maddaton EX is another new sprite, once again based off Mad Mew Mew's pose. To be honest I think the middle area with her arms and guitar details is too visually cluttered but I'm not sure how to improve on that? I do like how her face came out though.

If I was a little more skilled I would figure out how to make animated versions of these. Maybe some day!

Muffet, Monster Kid, and Snowdrake concept arts.

Muffet (aka Scruffet) is originally designed by Richie. I added on the little pigtails because I liked them in her original design. (They can also be a nod to Maddaton EX's hairstyle?? Remember how Burgerpants tried making himself more rectangular like MTT??? Or maybe Maddaton was inspired by Muffet????) It was kinda hard trying to make the shirt work with 6 arms. The shirt didn't come with the pathetic boob window but Maddaton requested that she make it anyways. The second pic is some funny facial expressions.

Monster Kid and Snowdrake are pretty much the same visually but their roles are a bit different. You meet them both in Clearwater where Monster Kid is the leader of a group of kids who idolize Papyrus and the Royal Guard. They dress up like pirates and play pretend together. Snowdrake is just visiting the resort here, you'll see him on your journey as he makes his way back home to Highpeaks where his mom works. He's got souvenirs for his friends, though I'm not sure how he uses that fanny pack without arms...

Concept arts for Maddaton.

When designing her box form, I wanted something both visually similar but also different from Mettaton without just sticking a jacket or something on her. She's styled after a guitar amp and her original screen colours were meant to contrast with Mettaton's red and yellow before we changed it to orange and magenta; the orange on her final design is from Mad Dummy's sprite. Annoying Tem is also here.

In the middle are also hairstyle explorations for her EX form, with the final one being inspired by Leo/need Miku from Project Sekai. Maddaton EX also takes some visual influence from Spinel from Steven Universe like her "runny mascara" face vents. Her heart core was moved to her chest area since her waist was already visually busy from the belts. Pastel pink is a colour I haven't used for an AU Mew Mew yet and it ended up looking good with the blacks and greys in her design.

Sad Dummy, Noteblook, Glam Dummy & Glam Glitter-kun, Maddaton & Maddaton EX

Sprites created/edited by @dvdexe. Frisk sprite by Temmie.

Funny: When I was first making sprites, I used Mad Mew Mew as a reference/base for Glam Glitter-kun.

Pretty cute right? I wanted to try to match the same level of detail, especially in the face area. However, when I put him next to Maddaton EX...

It doesn't help that her hair gives her some extra height too. I ended up going back and fixing his sprite afterwards. For funsies, here's both of them side by side. There's a bit more detail in his clothing, his body is more proportionate, and now he has eyebrows.

Have you decided how the Cyan and Orange Soul modes are going to work? Because from the look of it, they’re going to be used in Burgerpants and Maddaton EX’s fights, respectively. Also, do you have any designs for Burgerpants?

At first I was confused as to where you got those specific soul modes from until I remembered the weapon/armor list on our website haha. I did think about this sometime in February and even made a chart to try to make sense of it but hadn't considered the soul modes could switch around too. If they change according to the new soul order, it would be like this:

Interestingly Undyne and Papyrus keep their original combat styles... leon also came up with some ideas for cyan and orange:

Cyan could give you a set number of invulnerability frames when you're not moving. Straycat probably throws a lot of garbage and junk all over the place, so he could have some attacks that'd otherwise be impossible to dodge as trash fills the battle box and you have to go higher and higher up and have less time to anticipate attacks Orange is easy: You can't stop moving but go faster. Maddaton is super high energy and it's the only way to outrun her attacks. Think about a fight that's styled like Sans' attack where he puts you in a loooooooong battle box, but for basically the whole fight. Maybe it's styled after a music bar? I'm sure there's other creative applications for the idea too that I just can't think of right now

Even if you're not making an actual fangame it's still fun to think about this kind of thing!

Burgerpants/Straycat was designed by @sunfloraas so it's up to her if she wants to post her drawings on here. There is that little doodle up there and I suppose I can post these overworld sprites too; it's still missing Gerson and Q.C. but at least there's other guys!

(Shh I know I posted Grillby before)

maddaton ex plaing an offset guitar is so based

I'm impressed you could discern the type from a handful of pixels! Or maybe you're a seasoned guitar aficionado. If you or anyone else is curious, this is the particular model I used as reference. I'm not really a guitar guy (evidenced by the fact that this is a right-handed model when her sprite uses left???) I just thought it looked neat. Plus it's pink!

i don't know why (and this was probably accidental), but Maddaton gives me the vibes of spinel from Steven universe. I needed to get that off my chest, my apologies 😔

You'll be delighted to know that Spinel did partially inspire Maddaton EX's design! The spiky pigtails and "runny mascara" are great design traits.

For a bit of a laugh, check out this Cartoon Network post from a bit after work on OTHERSWAP started. Really makes you think......

Maddaton EX is. Incredibly cool. Just, design alone.

Can't be a punk rocker without being cool!
