thank you person on tiktok for the au name suggestion - it kinda fits their whole gimmick of acting as monsters for their safety
finally finished the references for my versions of the integrity and justice souls - Romeo and Julien!
I love them so much, i can't believe they got them
the info I have for them is quite barebones atm, but feel free to read it below!
Romeo and Julien live in a small town situated near Mount Ebbot. When Julien -at 13 years old- had gone missing, it threw the small town into chaos for a bit. Three years later, Romeo ignores the warnings of Mount Ebbot only to end up missing as well.
Julien
(currently) 16 years old | he/they
he went to Mount Ebbot to escape his abusive household, he is not fond of discussing further
after being found by Toriel, he decided to stay with her in the Ruins
Julien did not have much on him, but Toriel helped fashion them a 'cow' boy costume to fit in - which he loves very much
he would be pretty content living in the Ruins
everything changed when another human fell 3 years later
Romeo
15 years old | he/him
he went to Mount Ebbot because he desired to practice for an upcoming recital in peace
fell 3 years after Julien did, and Julien was the first person Romeo met down there
When he fell, Romeo managed to bring his duffel bag with him too - the only contents inside being a costume meant for the ballet recital
he is a bit more motivated to leave the underground
also my previous design had the shell on backwards ohh my goshhh. although this one i gave her too many tentacles. bruh. man im trying to base her off of whatever people thought ammonites looked like in the 80s or smth but. its really hard to find refs for that.
alsoo actor shelly is here. i am going to have to redesign my tomodachi life mii of her lol
disappears for 4 months. comes back covered in blood or whatever and drops a 22 page comic. hiiiii whats uppp guyyyys remember when I said you'd likely see more tenna around here at some point. here he is!!!!! drawn to that one dialogue from shuttuh bc i couldn't get it out of my brain. some yapping under the read more if you want some more info!
been working on this since august (meant to have it done for october. Oops!) as a way to get a shorter comic project done in preparation for how to tackle undertaking my larger one (it's still being worked on. Very slowly. But still) since i cannot lie i havent worked with deadlines since getting out of college so i kinda gotta figure out how to handle all of that on my own! which turns out to be a lot of spreadsheet stuff.
and i also cannot lie to you the tv bewitched me. i am a little obsessed with him (coughs. i made a cosplay among other things.) he fascinates me. he's been spinning in my brain since june. what a guy. didnt expect to walk out of ch3 feeling like i could write a whole essay about him. So what better way to spend the fixation than making a comic instead yayyy!!! yippee!!!! my god this took longer than i thought it would!!!!
one of my like top fav things about deltarune is how mysterious the dark worlds are what with the whole.... Do they exist alongside the light world? Did they start existing and have their pasts happen all at once? Were they're glimpses? who knows! I don't think we'll ever get an answer, and quite frankly the fact that we kinda get to fill in the gaps makes it all the more fun.
i know plenty people didnt care for chapter 3 but iiiii loved it and damn did it reignite my passion for this game. it never really went away per say, but it had just enough gaps in info and little tidbits of secrets and lore thats kept me drawing in and it makes me feel the same way chapter 1 made me feel when it first came out.
anyways! enough of my yapping! hope you guys enjoy. ive got a whole lot of little production art bits and sketches from this too from (the polaroids from page 17 for example) as well as ill probably end up posting a lot of closeups.. Bc theres a lot of little background things bc i like getting lost in the weeds. this thing was a great learning experience and i was finally able to figure out some tools i havent used in CSP before and how to make them work for Me and i cant wait to be able to feel this same way when fotf can finally be released :')
