I was bored recently and was thinking about how I love the concept of Frisk being the one who fell in 201X and Chara instead fell in 191X, as I really love the Art Nouveau artstyle.
Also, I really love Togore as a concept and the idea of him as the middle child who is the only one who survived in undertale is very interesting to me so I really wanted to draw this, especially as people only really draw deltarune fanart of him rather than undertale
Art analysis under the cut if youâre interested <3 (not all of this is canon ofc)
Asriel
- he is wearing a crown while the other two wear coronets, as heâs the heir to the throne
-Reset star shaped stones in the crown, subtle foreshadowing :)
- He is also wearing purple clothes and epaulettes over his tunic to show his role in the royal family
- He's in shorts: he's still a child
- he is holding a sword, which is a commonly used symbol of royalty and held by either the monarch or the heir to the throne
- the sword also has a flower symbol on the end as a mod to Asgore's trident
- he is surrounded by white lilies, symbols of innocence, death and purity. One of the lilies is only a bud to represent how he didnât live to adulthood
- The fleur de lis in the background are symbols of royaliy
- he is stood in the throne room/ gardens where he and Chara picked the buttercups
Togore
- There are quills behind him, he is the middle child and so wouldâve played the role of royal adviser to his brother if hed lived. He is also holding a book to emphasise this
- There is an iris on the book as well as throughout the rest of the portraitïżŒ
- There are irises surrounding him, they are both purple (a colour associated with royalty) and represent wisdom (a link to his intended future role)
- The buttons on his shirt are shaped like human and monster souls to show the relationship between the siblings
- He is wearing a coronet with a flower tying to the symbol on Asrielâs sword, and a stone shaped like a monster soul
- There is ivy climbing on the pillars behind him. Ivy is a symbol of everlasting love and strength, as he is the only one of the children to survive.
- He is surrounded by Doric Greek pillars, another symbol of strength showing again how he is the one who survived the tragedy
- He is in the final corridor: all three of them are stood in the final few rooms of the game
- Also final corridor, similar to Sans in the no mercy run he is the final person aside from Asgore left standing
Chara
- The Delta Rune is behind them, showing their link to the prophecy of the Angel
- Instead of three triangles, the Delta Rune has three souls, two monster and one human, to symbolise the relationship between the three siblings
- The sun and Mount Ebbot are behind them, they are a symbol of the surface and freedom to the monsters of the underground. They are also haloed by the sun to emphasise their religious role in the underground
- They have a simple coronet made of gold flowers and leaves, simpler than the other two as they are the youngest child
- There are two monster souls on the columns behind them to show their connection to both monsters and humans through the imagery of the surface
- They're wearing the gowns worn in church, they are a religious figure and perceived in life as the Angel of prophecy
- Buttercups surround them, as a representation of their death by poisoning
- Buttercups also symbolise childhood innocence or childishness, they were the youngest of the Dreemurr children
