Good morning! Did you drink wooter? I know most of you guys aren't really familiar with my AU, UnderParadis, but stay with me for a second! (@_@)
In UnderParadis, one of the central themes I wanted to incorporate is internal growth. Not just skies and clouds and stuff.
So, when I was trying to make a design for Napstablook, I wanted him to come off as a socially awkward guy with social anxiety. So later in the story, he grows more confident and eventually start opening up to people and making new friends :D
And since Underparadis happens up in the "sky", I HAD to make him into a cloud spirit (☆▽☆) Since he's very scared of people, I thought he would hide in clouds a lot and thus, the plain white design so he can blend in and nobody would notice him!
But Napstablook isn't fully out of contact with other people, he is actually very close with his cousin, Mettaton! More on Mettaton later (◕ᴗ◕✿)
The hat Napstablook wears is given by Mettaton and he looks so cool with it ^^
And that's all for today! This post was actually written a little earlier in may but I may or may have forgotten to post this until I remembered this draft existed so I changed the captions and now you've read this! :D
I hope you enjoyed this bit of Underparadis and the reference sheet I made for Napstablook :D It's not that great but I like it. Oh! And I'm also working on giving him a nickname that everyone can refer to him without just saying "Underparadis! Napstablook"... I just don't know yet.
If you have any cool ideas or suggestions for his nickname or inspirations for Underparadis, you can comment on this post and I will probably think about it! ^^
Not going to lie, I hate coming up with hashtags 😭😭😭
Drink wooter and take care of yourself! Byyeeee!
