daily eram

drawing eram/shadow mantle holder every day (hopefully) until chapter 5 comes out run by @decaf-soups

[daily-eram]

yknow with how much theorists tend to make Eram and Friend either literally the same character, or so heavily connected that they might as well be (for example "Friend is actually a species that exclusively exists to be Eram's minions"), I think it'd be really funny if they just never interact again

Like they're both fully fleshed out individual characters who happened to collaborate that one specific time and have no significant relationship outside of that

i never even considered this....really funny. no we don't know each other just because we're both shadow demon entities cmon don't be presumptuous

chapter 5 trailer screenshot below the cut!... go watch it first!!!

OK GUYS...GUYS!!!

i know the chances of this being an eram fight are VERY SLIM but I DONT CAREEE I WILL TAKE THE 1% CHANCE

(even if it's not I am unbelievably excited right now RAAAGH)

[daily-eram]

Day 61. happy pride month!

[daily-eram]

ERAM IS CONFIRMED TO BE A CHARACTER WITH HORNS NOT JUST A MANTLE

BIG IF TRUE

[daily-eram]

hi guys,

this probably doesn't need to be said by now, but: I am simply too busy to keep doing daily drawings. my internet access has also been super spotty this summer.

however! I may still post here intermittently. if things settle down and I do return to regular drawings, it will likely be in early August :)

ps thanks for all the love here! it makes me happy people like my doodles

Day 60: 30 second eram

[daily-eram]

Day 59

i'd like to return to drawing eram everyday, but I have recently become employed 🤯so we will see... it may have to be every other day

[daily-eram]

hey this real

oh my god

What are your thoughts on how a lot of theorists try to just package Eram into being another character like Friend, Ramb, or the Knight? Personally not a fan

NOPE not a fan either! I don't really understand why these theories became so popular. no hate- I believe in having fun!- but they've never made much sense to me...

I kind of wanted to list all the evidence of Eram NOT being another character somewhere, sooo no better place than here I suppose

Starting with FRIEND- these two appear separately in the same fight?? this seems like a clear sign they're different entities. also, while Eram has a pretty strong personality- playful but mysterious, a bit snarky, sure of itself- FRIEND has almost no personality to speak of

the "Ramb is Eram" theory is. Confusing to me. why would Ramb, proclaimed #1 Kris supporter, put Kris through a game that obviously makes them uncomfortable (at best) and force them to do things like kill their friends? Why would he pick at Kris's insecurities and trauma? also, he was petrified during Eram's fight.

(i do like some of the possessed Ramb designs though they're pretty cool 👍)

Surprisingly, the Knight is the one that I see the most evidence for. strong similarities between their songs, similar phases of their battles, associated with each other through the Shadow Crystal. even so, this one doesn't make sense- why would the Knight knowingly give Kris something that would make it easier to defeat?

also I know you didn't mention it here, but as for Eram being the Shadow Mantle:

that is all thank you for coming to my ted talk

Just wanted to give my big massive thanks for making this account for the Ever-Lovable Bastard Demon:tm: <3 Your art is genuinely beautiful and I love it all so much!!! Wish you the best of luck going forwards!

On a semi-related note and (and cuz why not..!), I wanted to ask what your thought may be for Chapter 5? The Chapter is after all described by Gerson to be a: "Field of Pink and Gold(no yellow...). The vast garden is charred in an inferno of jealousy."

Seeming like this'll be the long awaited FRIEND Adventure everyone has been hyping up for, buuut, given what we've seen with Sword Route, these two eldritch gay idiots seem to be a package deal..! So what do you think they will be doing there amidst the flowers and liveliness.. ? Will they frolic and dance? Will they longingly stare at the stars and each others eyes? :'>

Or will ERAM do uber-arson to FRIEND's homemade garden for the funsies?

thank you very much!!! I hope to get back to drawing this idiot very soon! I would have gotten to this ask earlier, but this week has been very busy... I'm running on like 2 hours of sleep right now...

i am QUITE biased but I do think Eram will return in chapter 5 (or if not, chapter 6). they are way too interesting of a character to just get swept under the rug. Plus, the dialogue...

"Well, enough of that! We both have work to do!"

...yeah I think we'll see them again. whatever "work" entails, it sounds a lot like their and Kris's paths will cross in the future.

I believe the Sword Route is a foreshadowing of the events of a future chapter, and we will fight the "real" Eram outside the Mantle game in chapter 5 or 6. Probably as part of the weird route, but maybe not, since the Sword Route itself didn't require taking the weird route.

i do think FRIEND will get its Big Hype Moments next chapter, but like you said, Eram and FRIEND seem to be closely associated! so maybe... team fight? I think they're partners in crime... it's fun to imagine them being friends or even Evil Entity Yuri

also I love how you describe them... the eldritch gay idiots.... now I want to draw them frolicking in a field together

What do you think of my magnum opus

IT'S BEAUTIFUL... come on kris play their knifes

[daily-eram]

Day 58: are OCs too cringe to put on here? oh well. my secret boss OC and Eram are surprisingly similar, I had to draw them together at least once

by the way I am not returning to a daily schedule yet, I just happened to have time for this today

OC yapping under the cut for anyone curious...

the character on the right is a secret boss OC I made before chapter 3, who is coincidentally also associated with fire and demonic imagery! they were meant to be the church's secret boss, their light world counterpart is a ceremonial candle

their name is Char (yes really) and if you're really curious about them you can check out my main blog. they're slowly becoming less of a deltarune OC- I want to add them to an original story of mine- but I still like the story and design I came up with originally.

also they are waaayy nicer than Eram and would probably be understandably freaked out by it

[daily-eram]

hi yall sorry for the lack of art but life has been stressful lately... it may be a little while before i can get back to daily stuff

[daily-eram]

Day 57: sorry for silence yesterday! i finally got my hands on tomodachi life and it consumed my waking hours

[daily-eram]

the most obvious swap for friend is eram, and vice versa so i thought: what if spamton was influenced by eram instead of friend? this is my take, it's really simple and based on vampires/devil-like figures obviously (so spamton would look more like tenna), also on me associating eram with closedness/covering youself, since they look like a figure all wrapped up in the mantle - that's why the open space of the suit is minimal what do you think he would look like? it may be also interesting to ask what would happen if eram was taking the role of mike

oooo this is an interesting idea...!!

the idea about "mantling"/covering oneself is cool, I like how you adjusted his outfit. I might even take it a step further- since Eram has no visible eyes, I think Spamton might try to imitate this feature. maybe with like... a veil, or a censor bar. (idk if the second one would be physically possible.. but it's the dark world, who cares about if things are physically possible lol)

^ kind of like this

since Spamton seems to have a thing for stealing people's color palettes, he'd probably have more orange along with black in his wear. I like his hat in the picture he looks very stylish :)

Also, not a design change, but I think he would use cheap fireworks to imitate Eram's fire magic during the S.NEO fight. (Like how pipis are probably a ripoff of Friend and its associated game)

Day 56: another "humanoid" eram, but I wanted to draw it more feathery
