✨ Name's Melly. My gender is my personality and my pronouns are none/a jumble of any and all ( prefer my name tho🌟 ). An artist and an aspiring animator. This page is for me to grow my skills, and to engage with whatever hyperfixation I'm currently having ✨
I've been practicing my shapes and volumes in character design A LOT while developing my artstyle, and I think I'm cooking so good rn, especially in head position/facial expressions department, I've been STRUGGLING BIG with those before
Can't believe just how much I've improved in my art because of those two, who knew yaoi was so good for artistic growth

* Thank you so, SO much to all the AU creators that gave us permission to use their work in our projects! You're all amazing and we hope to make you proud~! 💖
* We have more posts lined up for today, so stay tuned!
I'm so SO happy my AU was given a chance to be included in this zine! I still can't believe it's actually happening, it's my first ever semi-collab, and it's a zine no less! Thank you everyone who's working on this amazing project!! 💖
I've done all the sketches for the second half, and went back to the first half to add frames here and there for some smoother transition.
I originally planned to not animate in any manner the segment with Spamton being "shot" and falling over, but it looked too stiff and out of place, so I spend some time coming up with action for it as well.
( You can check out the first WIP here if you curious to see the progress made. And here you can check out the designs for this AU's Tenna and Spamton )
It might look better towards the end, that's just me slowly adjusting to the flow, since it's my first proper animation "project". I just kinda leveled up as I was going lol
Also yes, it supposed to look fast-paced with a lot of small motions, plus that's just a rough, so I'm sorry if some shots are extra messy.
I have piles of neglected homework, but this animation is getting done little by little, yee-haw ✊✨
After a month of writing, sketching, and coloring, we did it gang. We finished a massive Spamtenna Columbo Spambo AU that's about creativity and originality.
This was a labor of love and I loved exploring others AUs, if it was just briefly.
Human connection and sharing of creativity is something so beautiful. Don't worry about making it perfect, just do it first!
AU's under the read more!
In order of appearance as well as I could do!

I've been working on this thingy here for a almost two weeks now, that's about half of what I need to do in total. It's my first animated liitle project, so I'm slowly perfecting things as I go, learning along the way. Hope I'll be done with the whole thing ( line art and color included ) in a month or so ✊✨
( drawing Spamton's nose facing front is such a struggle y'all ).
I thought about it for a while and decided to give this AU a proper name - "Cowboy Show AU"! I made a tag for it as well, so that it's easily searchable.
Just to be clear, this AU ( probably ) ( most likely ) won't have any storyline, as I don't have any planned. It was made simply for the fun cartoony vibes of it, and because I like the settings of "Tom and Jerry, but make it cowboy and gay".
I'll just be posting about it when I feel like it, and in time I'll add more Deltarune characters as I go ( if I'll have cool ideas for them ). I'm just having fun here guys ✌️
You guys really seemed to like what was supposed go be a one-off post the previous time :D
I'm really happy you found it as fun of a concept as I did. I think I'll post some concepts for the characters from time to time, like this post, because I found it really fun to implement Deltarune characters into that AU in different ways.
About Mettaton:
• Owns a saloon, in which also regularly performs ( also has several more dancers performing, working for him )
• Outside of dancing, known in the town for his great sence of style and welcoming personality
• Despite the glamorous exterior, his gentle hands can get rather strong, especially if someone were to cause a ruckus in his saloon
• Unfortunately, because of Spamton, it happens quite regularly
Also Ramb is there. Hello Ramb 👋
Original Mettaton design and idea belongs to @venomspikesss ! She has become almost a co-author for that AU, woth how much we've been charging fun ideas, and I absolutely attribute this post to her!
Moth Spamton and ANT tenna from @the-soot-nest 's AU!
I saw their animatic on YT and got inspired, but I'll be honest, I don't know much about that AU, and was mainly in it for some poses and cute little interactions between Spam and Tenna
Also, I couldn't resist giving Spam a flyffy tail-like abdomen :3
Initially I just wanted go draw Spamton and Tenna in cowboy outfits, but then it kinda spiraled out of hand, and long story short, I was conjunlring a little narrative. I imagine they'd be in a constant cat-and-mouse chase, getting up to all kinds of cartoony shenanigans
I wanted to do Mikes as Tenna's "right-hand men", but creative juices run out, same with rendering ✌️😔
Here's some stuff I came up with 👇
Spamton "Big Shot" Spamton
-They say he never misses, able to take on several people at once in a gun fight, shooting down even the biggest opponents ( he himself spread the rumour )
-LOVES to rodeo, and even wears a trophy belt buckle
-Huge gambler, cheats all the time
-Always keeps his distance and is very quick on his feet, you can never get ahold of this guy
-Although he views Tenna as an opposing guy, still occasionally throws flirtatious remarks at him
Sheriff Anthony Tenna
-Not only the tallest, but also the strongest person in town, being able to "stop bulls at full speed" and "lift two whole horses at once, one in each palm" ( or at least that what he tells the little ones )
-He never carries any guns with him, he doesn't need one anyway, as he can shoot out of his "fingerguns" ( inspired by the end of his bossfight, where he claps his hands and stars come out )
-While being a soft and emotional guy, Tenna's amazing at his job and is absolutely ruthless towards any criminal, no matter how flirty one may be or how handsome one may look like ( cough cough )
Is it too silly of me to headcanon them both not being experienced with intimacy at all, even as little as holding hands?
Inspired by silly little image of Tenna and Spamton plushies touching noses, we all know the one wink wink
At first I wanted to just do a fanart of it, but then this comic idea poped into my head, and I knew I had to commit ( I've been working on it for like 3 weeks, line art took SO much time 🥲 )
Toby's first Tenna design won me over SO FAST, I LOVE characters with 4 arms, you can do so much cool poses and gestures with those babies 🔥
( rn I'm kinda in the process of figuring out my prefered rendering style, and I always loved putting lots of colour in my art, so I hope it turned out alright <3 )
Also, considering drawing more ANT Tenna and Spamton action 👀
Currently away from my apartment for several weeks and can't do anything digital, so I'm killing time drawing ideas for future animatics, and just doodle in general.
Here's some sketches for the potential future paper puppets, because I thought they were nice looking :]
