Thinking of making a little plush keychain of Gaster so you can punch and strangle him lol. If it actually happens I'll let you guys know! In the meantime there's this! Been a while since I've just done a simple shot of someone.
It has now officially been TEN YEARS since I drew the first Handplates comic. It's a very surreal feeling... like no time passed and so much time passed at the same time. There's so much I learned from working on it, so many people I met... the impact it had on my life was just enormous. I wasn't really sure what to do for this milestone, but I figured that it might be interesting to revisit the first comic and try and redraw it. This isn't meant to replace the original or anything, it was more meant as kind of a fun exercise. It's crazy to think that this kicked off something so huge, my life was about to change and I had no idea. We've all come so far in life since then...
Put back to back you can see all kinds of small changes, haha. I was trying to keep all the expressions and poses and placement the same, for the most part.
Okay For THIRTY YEARS Caine’s worn the same stupid outfit…just….let him experiment with gender. See what happens. Gooseworx, put that man in a dress, he doesn't have to like it I just wanna see what happens.
i also put Wingdings in a dress and saw what happened (I feel paternal towards it)
Hiiii I’ve loved ur art for years but was too shy to interact until now
What do u think about Spamtenna?
Fun ship! Lots of great stuff coming out of it, haha. And the size difference is just [kisses fingers]. I like it but it doesn't ping my brain like with Spamton and the Addisons for some reason. I've been trying to figure out why since they're similarly broken relationships, so what is it, what's the special sauce for me? I think it mostly comes down to the situation around them (since the Addisons are barely characters, I can't say it's because of that lol).
With Tenna, everything was going great right up to that crucial moment, then Spamton ran. Tenna has no idea why, he can only guess, and at that point it seems like the laptop got returned to the library in the real world so he had no way to follow up on or contact Spamton, and during that silent period they both got super bitter and angry. The important thing is that Tenna doesn't know what happened to Spamton, to the point he can't even recognize him when he sees him again. They were broken apart by something outside their control, with both of them wrongly blaming each other for it. They were happy and they lost it through no fault of their own! Bitter exes over a misunderstanding that could be solved if they just had the chance! It's really very tragic.
With the Addisons, they knew Spamton from the very beginning, they were friends with his true self, in a sense. They saw the entire thing - the failure, the rise, and then the subsequent fall. They were the ones who decided to ghost Spamton out of petty jealousy and they know that, they seem constantly haunted by knowledge of their own hypocrisy. They saw him crash, they know where he is, and then they did nothing to help him, pretending they don't know him. BUT when Spamton Neo's beaten, they leave their stores to come to Spamton's shop to express regret for what happened, so they do still think about him. In this case you have a group of people who succumbed to petty, insecure jealousy, then to guilt and avoidance that kept them from acting. They try to divorce themselves from him but they still can't stop thinking about him, as much as they pretend they don't.
Tenna and Spamton never got that chance to work out what happened between them, but the Addisons DID and just never took it. So what if they did? How could they overcome all that damage done and their own very human flaws and mistakes that caused them? They were the ones who broke the relationship with him, how could they go about fixing it? How do you make up for doing something like that to someone you used to love? How do you forgive something like that? I guess that kind of struggle is really compelling to me, haha.
I REAAALLLYYY liked the first Lancer design I did for Defernull, SO he stays.
To avoid clashing with the heart symbolism, I don't think Lancer would use "heart" shaped attacks but instead throw medieval weapons that were laying around. kiiind of like an unsupervised kid playing with objects that aren't necessarily toys.
HE HAS BOTH BIKE DESIGNS BC I SAID SO !!! Both of them have the horn.
also if he were to have a theme it would go like this
My awesome Defernull lore takes (mostly images) will come out in bursts, I don't want it to start feeling like a chore, so doing it this way feels a bit better to me.
I WON'T HAVE STRUCTURE HERE, BEAR WITH ME.
ALRIGHT WITH THAT BEING SAID. I'M JUST GOING TO PASTE DRAWINGS AND MY THOUGHTS.
Did you know? Defernull spamton has TWO hairstyles?
One for trying to keep up the facade that he's on the good side ! The other for when...oh that's just him.
I imagine when he starts losing his patience when upholding his NICE GUY act strands of his hair starts to comically become undone.
Some drawings of how I imagine he generally carries himself.
" I SEE THAT [WEAR & TEAR] IN YOUR EYES H0TSH0T!! YOU GOT WHAT IT TAKES TO BE [[ ]]"
imagine a reallllyy long pause between the brackets, afterwards he'd burst out in laughter.
HE BELIEVES IN YOU !! HE KNOWS THERE'S GREATER THINGS FOR YOU!! JUST LIKE HE THINKS THERE'S GREATER THINGS FOR HIM!!! IT'S DESTINED!! OR AT LEAST HE BELIEVES HE'S DESTINED !!
( **YES** SPAMTON WOULD STILL YEARN FOR THAT SWEET SWEET FREEDOM. THAT WILL NOT CHANGE LOL. )
him being persistent idk
I thought about how his car dump shop would look like and this is the general idea, his phone would be white instead of black.
I also think it wouldn't have a number pad. Maybe sometimes when he hits a low he thinks there are numbers and starts pressing them.
I think down the line of doing his Odd Jobs, the act just drops entirely.
Like his laughing would just become more and more frequent,
JUST SO YOU ALL KNOW I AM A VISUALS KINDA GUY....IF YOU NEED ME TO DIVE DEEPER PLEASE SEND ME AN ASK !!! IT HELPS ME !!!
I really am just sending this to form some kind of foundation of what kind of character I envision him for this AU..
okay last one.
I'll let ya'll know if I come back to add more descriptions later. I rushed this a little because I GOTTA GO SOMEWHERE.
