Tryna figure out how the player will work in Alter3 + how to indicate their actions and I think I got an idea.

Ignore the poor quality it's a phone doodle but I think the point comes across.

In game there are actions that Kris is more likely to take, I imagine this feels alot more comfortable to Kris, sometimes to the point they don't even notice it isn't their own action. (Sometimes they're even like "am I even being possessed or did I just gaslight myself"). These actions are indicated by the half soul half asterisk. It's something Kris would have done anyway.

The full soul indicator is taking an action Kris would not have taken and often actively dislikes (something as simple as hugging Ralsei, or something as extreme as Snowgrave)

Then the asterisk + brackets indicator is Kris' thoughts. They're not visible to the player and not audible to anyone else. They're probably just gonna be used as an insight into Kris during the comic.

I imagine the soul isn't actively malicious. They're very curious, and don't really understand Kris but they're not evil. (In this AU they've spared every enemy, no snowgrave here, not even in other saves). But they also prioritise their own self interests. They're a HUGE Ralsei fan and will dote on him every opportunity given (much to Kris' dissatisfaction). Overall Kris isnt happy with them but is kinda glad they don't seem evil. They're playing nice and Kris just kinda hopes they keep it up and leave soon.

Doesn't stop Kris from hating them though.

I would never make memes about my deltarune comic which I haven't even finished the first page of

[ejsuperstar]

alter3 PAGE ???

[FIRST] [<- PREV] [NEXT ->] (These don't work yet because this is the test post) The very first page of alter3! Ok that's a lie. This is my "test comic" to see if all the style choices are meshing well. I think my backgrounds could use some work but, eh, its good enough. Hopefully soon alter3 will enter full production!

If you're interested in the AU please send any asks about general lore stuff! I wont be able to answer story specifics but stuff like "why is it called alter3" and "what the fuck is everyone wearing" and "what do the heart icons mean?" will all be answerable.

Chairiel time

Lining the first page of alter3 and I already hate it. I decided, on the fly, "I should reference some gauntlets" so now I have to design Kris some gauntlets. AGHH. I have to admit tho it looks way better than it would have otherwise. (Also had to draw this design in their ref which took a while)

Here's the sketch for comparison, it looks way better with the gauntlet. Still questioning my choice on the hand close up despite the fact i hate hands.

Art Fight Propaganda except a good chunk of them aren't really into the idea and some are TOO into it

FLUFFY BOI COMPLETE!!!! Ralsei has been rehatted for lore reasons AND also cos I just think the hat is cute. Think I'm gonna draw up a "test comic" to see how the style flows before setting into the full comic.

Colouring test for Alter3's characters + Background. This test background was traced from the sims cos I'm lazy and its just a test but it meant Kris' angle didn't match whoops. Its also mainly meant to just be a design ref for Kris since I'm drawing the characters with their equipment on. I think I'm gonna go through with this style, but I'll probably have to do another test to figure out of the bgs look good with the character art when the characters are actually aligned to the background.
