heyo, I'm Snoey/Holoska! I'm a SFW artist who likes making cozy illustrations, character designs, cute ship art and silly comics ✨
I mostly draw Undertale fanart, and you'll see a lot of my Underswap take and Undertale post-pacifist future - you can find more info on those in the links below! I also frequently draw Soriel and take part in Soriel Week every year, and occasionally draw Deltarune fanart too.
please note that I'm autistic and a very quiet and anxious person, so I'm not the best at socialising. I do appreciate receiving asks, but if I take a while to respond or don't reply, please don't take it personally! I'm also a pretty slow artist so periods of inactivity will occur from time to time.
thanks for visiting!

❄️ FAQ:
What do you use for your art?
I use paint tool SAI for all of my art, an old copy of photoshop CS6 for text, graphic design stuff and some effects, easy gif animator for pixel animations, and an XP-pen artist pro tablet (previously a wacom cintiq).
Do you take requests?
nope, I'm busy enough with my own art plans and irl responsibilities.
you're welcome to offer suggestions relevant to the usual things I draw, but I make no guarantees about when or if I choose to do them.
Can I repost your art elsewhere?
if it's a site I'm not on (see my links above for the sites I am on) and as long as you credit me with a link to my blog/original post, sure! I'm aware my art has been reposted to reddit a couple times and have no issues with that.
I also don't mind my art being reposted on twitter or bluesky as a means of showing someone my projects, but quoting my original tweets/posts is preferred when possible.
Can I use your art?
for casual uses like profile pictures/banners or video edits, those are totally fine if credit is given! I don't mind minimal edits such as flipping or adding colourful filters, but I do not want my art to be heavily modified, copied or traced. for a different purpose, please ask me first!
do not use or edit my art or sprites for your own projects.
Can I dub your art/comics?
yes and please let me know if you do, I'd like to see it!
side note, I do not want my works in video compilations that also include Frans. I'm not comfortable with my art/name being associated with that ship.
What UTDR ships do you like?
I'm sure you can tell Soriel is my Big Favourite, but I also love Alphyne, Suselle and Asgorudy!
there are a few other ships I don't actively ship for one reason or another but think are cute, but pretty much everything else I prefer as a platonic friendship ✨
What UTDR ships do you dislike?
I despise every adult x child and incest ship the fandom has come up with, and will block people who ship them for my own boundaries.
those aside, I strongly dislike Asgoriel, Sansby, every variation of Sanscest, and Krusie. these aren't ships I'll block people for, but I really don't enjoy seeing them.
Have you played [insert Undertale fangame here]?
nope. nothing but respect for the amount of work that goes making them, but playing fangames just isn't an interest of mine or how I engage with fandom, like how there are people who never read fanfics even for a series they love.
I have watched a few playthroughs of Undertale Yellow but had no lasting attachment to the story or its characters (though I do love some of its music; Guns Blazing my beloved), and I know little to nothing about any other fangame.
Will you help me with an Undertale fangame/project?
I'm really flattered to have been asked this multiple times, but I don't have the time available to contribute to other people's projects, sorry! I also wouldn't be an ideal team member due to being a hermit who struggles with regular communication ahah
How do you pronounce Holoska?
I pronounce it 'hol-oss-ka', but the official pronunciation is 'ho-low-ska' - Holoska is the name of the icy continent in Sonic Unleashed. if you're curious why I use it as my name, 'Miss Holoska' was a nickname I was given due to its similarity to my previous username and my love for winter and Sonic Unleashed. even if I'm not in Sonic fandom anymore, the name still makes me happy ❄️
in honour of the new tomodachi life and as an apology for what it will do to my already-suffering productivity, I have some Deep Lore about the origins of my undertale fankids I wanna share ✨
my soriel and alphyne kids were first posted in february 2017, but the ideas for them go back as far as september 2016 when my soriel and alphyne miis had kids in tomodachi life 3DS:
while the rest of my undertale fankids were designed in 2022, something I've never shared is that glitter and muffin also originate from tomodachi life way back then, but turning them into actual characters was... more complicated.
utpf glitter is mettaton's adopted kid, but tomodachi glitter was the kid mettaton had with lah, the ghost girl from sonic: night of the werehog. as far as tomodachi crackships go it was pretty cute given that they're both pink ghosts associated with cameras 💖
(I don't remember why she had red glasses. might've been trying to approximate purple eyes for lack of eye colour options)
muffin, however, is a different story.
utpf muffin's relation to muffet is unspecified, but tomodachi muffin - originally named buffet - was the kid muffet had with... a sentient banana man named A Banana.
if this isn't enough of a trainwreck already I must point out that A Banana was the son of knuckles the echidna. also buffet ended up dating tails.
her origin as a banana-spider child is the reason why muffin has blonde hair.
anyway I'm extremely excited about the new game and will be tomodachiposting on my main @holoska 💜
When you turn 32, I want you to keep in mind how fitting it is because Snoey is a frozen ghost that slept in snow, 32 is the point at which water becomes ice. Yes, I’m American how could you tell /sarcasm
oh neat! I will gladly accept the excuse to not dread turning another year older in 6 months' time :'D
I may have turned every single one of your fan kids into a lazy ersatz and for that I apologize. It’s just that you’re so good at drawing and I can hardly draw at all and also I like the concepts for the most part.
The muffin look-alike is entirely pink because she’s supposed to be related to muffet as well as Eight from Numberblocks, as the fact they appear in is a crossover called Octoblock’s in Love!
I can't lie I did have to look up ersatz in the fear that this is some 67-esque new meme I'm too old for, so the realisation of "oh it's just german" was a relief jhfgkjdfh
anyway I don't mind my art/fankids being used like this if it's just for fun rather than like, actual character designs you intend to use for something. but these are cute, I really like muffin's colours and that pink on glitter is pretty!
Hi may I please consider your underswap cannon because I really want there to be an official underswap even if it's just a retake
I think when it comes to community AUs you can consider any take to be 'the canon version' to you! if someone out there has a version that best aligns with your own headcanons and preferences, feels the most fitting to you or just does something you really like with the concept, no one can stop you from deciding it's your ideal version of that AU and the canon one in your heart. and if that happens to be mine I'm very flattered ahah 💜
that being said, don't forget canonswap is still a thing in the fandom! even if it's not continued by the original creator or owned by a specific person/team, there are still people who like to stick to the original concepts as closely as possible :]
Hi there! I've been following your content for years, ever since you were back in your Sonic phase. I remember falling in love with your werehog puppies AU, and I even dreamed up some kids of my own inspired by it. A couple years ago, I tried to look back for their refs, and couldn't find them. Have you deleted or privated a lot of those old posts? It's totally ok if you did, I was just curious because you had made some interesting lore for it. (Also I love your UT art btw! So cute <3)
aaaaaa gosh this is super sweet thank you ;_; I do still think about my sonic fankids now and then, I love those little guys forever!! and it warms my heart that they helped inspire you 💜
I did indeed delete a lot of my old sonic posts, unfortunately it's always been a bad habit of mine to not look back on my old art with fondness. I think it was also before tumblr added the ability to disable reblogs and mute post notifications, because any time I see someone like a bunch of my old sonic art and then follow me I just feel bad about it like "ohhh you are going to be So disappointed I don't draw that anymore"
however I do still have those refs buried in my art folders, so just for you here they are again under the read more :']
also I can't recall if I ever posted this anywhere but have these tiny sketches of the kids' older designs too, bc I still love mistral dyeing his small spikes pink to look more like his mama
if my interest in sonic ever revives itself I'd love to doodle these guys again... alas it is still very, very dead 💔
if I have to pick just one... I'll say toriel, sans, papyrus and frisk (and a reluctant flowey) all living together on the surface. it's basic, but it's the entire foundation for how I view their lives post-pacifist :'>
firstly it's potentially canon - if frisk chooses to stay with toriel - as both the 1st anniversary Q&A and the 5th anniversary alarm clock winter dialogue imply that toriel either lives with sans and papyrus or very close to them, and evidently flowey joins the surface at some point. given that sans moves in with toriel in 2 neutral endings (plus papyrus in the version he's alive for), there's no reason they couldn't do so in the pacifist ending too.
and to explain why it's my favourite: please enjoy several smaller headcanons and thoughts that result from it :D
obviously I don't think sans and toriel moving in together is immediately romantic, I imagine they have their own rooms when they first move in and it takes at least a couple years of slow burn before they become a couple. but as time passes and they grow closer, sans spends less and less time in his room until toriel's room just naturally becomes their room
the bros' tradition of sans reading papyrus bedtime stories continues on the surface, often joined by frisk and a lovingly-eavesdropping toriel
think about all the new books toriel gets to read by the fireplace, now with a small round skeleton asleep on her lap like a cat
on clear nights sometimes sans stays up late to look at the real stars, and toriel joins him and points out the constellations she remembers from a lifetime ago ✨
since papyrus implies sans tried baking a butterscotch pie, sans getting to try toriel's recipe for real and her helping improve his baking would be cute 🥧
speaking of cooking: hey remember toby's on-the-spot fanfiction from the 10th anniversary stream about how toriel could teach papyrus to actually cook
I love the idea of toriel and papyrus becoming close friends!! besides that sans and toriel need someone to yell at them when their jokes get out of control, having sans and papyrus around would be great for toriel. getting to raise frisk clearly brings her joy, but even though life is better on the surface, her protective instincts and grief from losing 8 children aren't going to disappear overnight. with the bros around, she can trust them both to look out for frisk and they can help ease her overprotective tendencies and loneliness ❤️🩹
(of course frisk does get into Various Shenanigans under the bros' watch, but that's par for the course where they're involved and toriel is hardly a stranger to shenanigans herself)
dunkle sans is a fandom classic for a reason, frisk dragging sans into caring again and him becoming their lesser dad is too sweet and destroys me forever ❤️
further on the topic of dad sans: sans being flowey's unwanted unofficial stepdad is hilarious and nothing will convince me otherwise. the soulless flower kid who tried to play god now having to live a peaceful domestic life with the 8 year old who pulled him kicking and screaming out of said playing god, his mother who doesn't know he's her long-dead son, the creator of his fanclub in several timelines, and worst of all that smiley trashbag who's now dating his mother is simply incredible. the catastrophic awkwardness of it all is The Point. the potential is unlimited. chef's kiss
look at these sprites from the first newsletter and tell me they aren't the perfect goofy lil family
I have an UNDERSWAP take that's highly inspired by yours and have been making sprites for it. I thought it was only fair I share them with you since you made the original art I designed them after. Feel free to use them for whatever you like!
(These are the only completed ones so far, once I finish the rest I'll share them too. As long as I'm not bothering you)
aaaa the rabbit guards!! some very good bunnies right there ✨🐇
thank you for making and showing me these!! I feel honoured to have helped inspire your underswap take :'>💜
i don't know if you played undertale yellow before but i gotta ask, what would Clover would look like in UNDERSWAP MH?
I mean they'd probably still look pretty dead
this is in my pinned post but I don't mind reiterating it: I did watch a few playthroughs of undertale yellow when it first released, but I didn't play it for myself and I can't say I'm invested in its story or characters. I think clover's cute enough, but the fallen humans have never been a part of undertale that interests me very much and I don't have more of an attachment to clover than any other fallen human designs out there, nor am I interested in making my own designs.
that being said, I do have swaps in mind for the fallen humans purely for the items associated with them! justice is in the role of patience and their items are the faded ribbon (unchanged) and a toy gun (empty gun in place of the toy knife), so feel free to imagine what clover or a justice human design of your choice would be like with those details :]
What are your thoughts on Deltarune Chapter Rewritten? It's basically Deltarune but swapped in a similar style to how Underswap is a swapped Undertale and has some really cute and cool designs!
I've been aware of it for years but never gotten into it; pretty much the only thing about it I'm familiar with is the spamton theme big bang, which I found in a video on the spamton sweepstakes rather than its actual intended context ahah. awesome song though :D
as I said I'm just not really into deltarune AUs at this point in time, but having briefly looked it up I agree that the character designs are very cool 👍
underswap mh's 9th anniversary is less 3 weeks away now huh
although I ended last year's anniversary ask blog event on a "see you next year maybe" note, I've decided I won't be running it this year. for one thing I want to add more askable characters and I have neither the time nor inspiration to work on dialogue sprites right now, but I also think it'd just be more fun for the 10th anniversary next year :] (as much as the thought of my underswap being 10 years old is. Terrifying)
my plan for this anniversary was to try and get that overview post I've mentioned a few times done, but... to make that I need to finish the main cast's overworld sprites, and getting 7 more characters fully sprited in a little over 2 weeks is incredibly wishful thinking 💔
that being said, I'll try my best to have some fun stuff to share for the occasion 🌟
MISSHOLOSKA! MAKE AN MH!DELTASWAP AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!
alas, your life shall remain your own... for now
honestly even with four chapters and half of deltarune's story at our hands, I still just don't feel inclined to make any AU art for it! I barely know anything about deltarune AUs anyway, but I maintain the same feeling I've had since chapter 1 that I don't feel I can do anything meaningful with it until I have the full story to work with. I've nothing against the rest of the fandom making their many dess designs and fanmade chapters and different swaps, it's just a me thing.
plus, as much as deltarune is incredibly special and dear to me, undertale is where my heart belongs and my hands are already too full with the projects I have :'D
Hi missholoska, I loved and adore how you draw Toriel, but I'd like to see you draw other Toriel ships. As for Soriel... it's not that I dislike it, but after seeing what happened in chapter 4 of Deltarune... I'd like to see you do some Asgoriel fan art, since I really liked that ship. Plus, Asgore lost everything in Undertale, and I want him to be happy too.
firstly: I'm glad you like how I draw toriel, thank you!!
but I'm sorry to disappoint, I genuinely am just not interested in other toriel ships. nothing wrong with multishipping, in a previous fandom I had multiple ships for some characters, but with utdr it's never happened for me. if you don't mind me rambling a bit:
I'm the type to only ship characters who've meaningfully interacted in canon, so shipping characters who've barely/never met and inventing a dynamic for them with little to no canon basis to work from doesn't interest me. for undertale toriel, her living in the ruins means she has very few interactions with other characters, which for me makes her viable ships limited too. and while deltarune toriel does have more characters she's interacted with... personally, there just aren't any other ships that compare to how happy toriel is shown to be around sans in both universes. (not trying to convince you to like soriel, just explaining why I do)
regarding asgoriel specifically, I'll withhold my thoughts on it given that you asked nicely and clearly like the ship. all I'll say is my view of asgoriel is overwhelmingly negative - on its own basis, not because of soriel - and the only context I'd consider drawing them would be when chara and asriel were alive. even then, I'd much rather draw them interacting with their kids than each other, so I'm definitely not the person to go to for asgoriel art.
for what it's worth though: 1) I also want asgore to be happy, I just disagree that toriel is required for that, and 2) I'm not someone who only draws toriel for the sake of soriel! she is my 2nd favourite UT character after all, I love her character very much and there will be more non-soriel toriel art from me now and then :]
