TS Underswap Spoilers! ALSO HOLY SHIT THIS TOOK SO LONG.
TS! Underswap by Team Switched:
@tsunderswapofficial
Thanks to Tile for the gameplay footage without the music:
@rupturedtaleblog
All Larry art from the falling section by me.
@tsunderswapofficial 's Ruthless route is already clogging YouTube. Teamswitch wouldn't know the nightmare that Toby Fox had to live eight years ago without an excessive amount of angsty skeleton art also clogging the web.
I realized... I can put my concept art for Starlight Isles on here now! Very Fun!
This is old old concept art of Starlight Isles that I made to give everyone else a bouncing off point. Shitty MS Paint mist but I definitely wanted to emphasize a sparkly sky, and the dark grass. I like how it turned out in-game.
It eventually turned into me needing to draw a concept for the village, and I ended up getting really exciting ideas--
I REALLY wanted to push the 'flat rooftops' idea... how can someone run on the rooftops easily if the roofs are slanted?
This eventually lead to me drawing some characters for the area, leading to this old Pitbull I drew! I guess the writers fell in love with him.
And, yes, I created Beenard / Montgomery / Egg / Prince / Sparkle!
I was incredibly surprised they didn't change the names I gave during the concept art. I guess they are all perfect in their own way.
Heck, I even made a couple cakes that got put into the game!
I know I also did a lot of other spirratic pixel art, small things here and there that hadn't been done yet.
I could also go into... the three guys that were supposed to be watching Jeremy...
...wwwweellll...
In reality, Ring, Otto, and Clockwork are from an entirely different universe. I have my own personal world with them and everything that's entirely all object-headed people. These alternate universe versions of them absolutely love living in the underground, though!
Otherwise, that will have to be for another post.
Hope you enjoyed TS Underswap! If you haven't played yet, you totally should, we all worked really hard!
This scene hit me like a truck in a middle of an almost emotionless (which is why I got that far) night.
I am still getting the hang of digitally drawing Asgore.
This was originally a sketch about MK fight which I'm nervous to post :D
Also did a painted version of this drawing. Basically just as a way to learn how to paint digitally since I never did that before.
TS!Underswap Ruthless spoilers: (at least this time I put it under the cut)
(This moment was so sad.)
Y'know, I fully expected Sans to be unkillable in any route, so this really came as sort of a surprise??? When the cardboard Crossbones got slashed at the end of the Ruthless fight, I was like "heh, yeah, fully expected that" until you meet Papyrus on the bridge and realize that, actually, Sans is really really gone???
And this is a shot-out to Sans' Neutral Evacuation battle where Sans gets us accounted with, ahem, "just a little guy, a little man" (translation: very ugly cardboard crossbones) an he starts talking about what would happen if that little man fell down? Since he was talking past tense, I thought Sans was exclusively talking about Crossbones: after all, in the neutral evacuation run, Crossbones is gone and only Sans remains. But isn't he actually warning us? Sans doesn't pull out the "pitch-black eyes" schtick during the neutral evacuation battle except during that line of dialogue, which is pretty good indication that he's threatening us: ("spreading words of your deeds, and making sure nobody forgets about what you did.") (((also this rhymed I found it super cool)))
Plus ugly cardboard crossbones fell over in the Evacuation run the same way pretty cardboard crossbones falls over in Ruthless. The whole Neutral Evacuation run is more of a warning than anything else: Really hit me when I first played it, because in my mind Sans was risking his life and warning us about how we planned on making the fight end... I came to the evacuation Neutral fight with the intent to betray kill Sans, but actually the WHOLE THING was SO HEARTFELT I definetly couldn't have dealt the killing blow even if that had been an option. (In contrast, Ruthless's Sans fight is just as (if not more) frustrating than its undertale counterpart. Not only because we're "Getting tired of this" (only after the 300th try, in my case!!!) but also because Crossbones is absolutely right about our questionable motives and the fact there's a thousand things we could be doing right now that would be better than this. When it's time to choose fight or spare, we're just glad the fight is ending.)
To go back to the topic of the Evacuation Neutral, I always found it weird that there was an animation that showed the fallen cardboard becoming smaller and smaller. But if fallen cardboards is Sans' euphemism for death, then he's showing us what'll happen if we go past him without changing our ways. People around us are gonna fall over and decrease in number, until there's gonna be next to none of them left.
Also, Team Switch... ARE ALL RUTHLESS BOSSES GONNA BE AS HARD AS ASGORE AND SANS???? (I fully expect them to be harder and this S C A R E S me.) I died over 1000 times during that game already, and I'm not even exaggerating. Unfortunately. I sort of refused to touch the "decrease difficulty" button 'cause that wouldn't really be fair to the characters, but that doesn't change anything to the fact I suck at gaming. Just like crossbones so nicely pointed out during that famous race...
I rambled much longer than expected. Anyway, my idea for the drawing was that maybe the reason why Crossbones doesn't fight with his gadgets is because he forgot all of them (which, seeing the context, is understandable, even if using weird gadgets seems like a good way of stalling), and Papyrus, being the good brother that he is, grabbed them in a hurry because he knew they couldn't go facing murdery humans together without being properly equipped!
