What the fuck is wrong with your Sans?

If this is about the quick animatic "le poof" scene.

I intended to draw a DT fused state of a normal (slight overbite) human skull for sans.

As Sans slowly melt and crumble away, the DT fused with his joints will come apart and the bones themselves will literally collapse under lack of support before poof into dust.

The human skeleton is held up by tendons, muscles and ligaments. DT basically replaced whatever was there before Sans died in "Dust" for the first time.

To answer your other question:

My style is semi-realistic, I like to mix the original cartoonist style with some real life references.

Here's a short post on how I intend to draw my Glitchtale trios.

Some Glitchtale anatomy notes

1, 4, 5, and 13 for the ask thing 💜

1. What was your very first pet?

My mom and dad have always had dogs, but the first pet I had that belonged to me was a Chihuahua named Bo. He hated everyone else that wasn’t me but loved me to death.

4. What pet do you want next?

I really want a green cheeked conure they’re just so cute.

5. What’s a pet you never want to own?

A duck. They’re so gross and I worked with way too many of them in the wildlife center to want to clean up after one if I kept it in the house. Other than those guys, honestly a cat. They’re so sweet but I’m allergic and with my love of birds I just can’t have them in the same house without being super worried.

13. What is your pet’s favorite food(s)?

MILLET.

Birby ask: 4, 9, 10 and 23 🧡

4. What’s a silly thing that one of your birbs does? :Kowhai talks, but only if he’s in extreme sleeping-into-his-armpit mode or getting da ‘woohoo’s on. D:9. Do your birbs say any words? Kowhai does! He says: “Daisuke” (Japanese for I love you), “Chu~*” (Japanese noise for the kissy sound - I’m a weeb), “I’m Kowhai” and “I love kisses”. I never expected him to learn to speak as I never put any real ‘training’ in aside from repeating certain phrases around him. 10. How long have you had your birbs?I got my first bird, Tweety the budgie, when I was 10, and had birds through most of my childhood. Sadly I didn’t know proper care so I feel guilt thinking back on my poor feathered friends and how much I did wrong… But since becoming an adult I didn’t have birds till I got Kowhai in March of this year. I did tons of research and bought and made most needed supplies before kowhai even got home, which I highly suggest to anyone who wants to get a bird. :) Do 3 months of research and supply gathering, and try to rescue a bird if at all possible!I got Whero around the end of October this year (2019) as a rescued chick at my local bird rescue. Since she’s unable to be released she will be living with us and introduced to Kowhai after her 45 day quarantine. :>23. If you have multiple birbs, do they interact well with each other? Kowhai the budgie and Whero the goldfinch haven’t met yet - though Kowhai is dying to meet her and keeps trying to sneak into Whero’s room. I’m anxious to see how they do with each other. Normally finches and budgies should be kept apart for safety, but I will supervise their meeting and gauge if they can hang outside together when I’m with them. Fingers crossed!

Talk about your ocs!!

<3 !! 

as i’m very predictable and fond of fantasy, that’s what i’ve been fiddling around with most lately. i’ve kinda figured out more about the world & meshed different characters into the same world? aka, if anyone ever wants a good three paragraphs of worldbuilding about shitty fantasy druids, which is only one area, i’m ya gal. 

okay tho! theophilus XI vilema (theo, for short, because who is going to say that entire thing) is the cousin of a royal family, distant enough that he doesn’t have to worry about the throne, but close enough that he’s seen himself appointed to the position of regional inquisitor - just detective, made to sound properly fantasy. he doesn’t dislike it, but he doesn’t quite like it either, and the intensive work combined with the morbid old government house he’s been given are not exactly doing wonders for his obsessive & imaginative personality. he’s grim and kind of weird & every time he smiles it looks like his face shouldn’t be doing that. at least four of his ancestors are ghosts, including two feuding, deceptive brothers, an angry old woman, and a woman who sacrificed her heart to prevent military conquest. he does not like the fact that ghosts are probably out there. 

zella renaten is two countries over from theo and not at all related to him. she’s the court blacksmith for a different province, and has held this position ever since an injury made it so that she couldn’t keep being a knight. she prefers being a smith, & is probably the most blithe person you’ll meet in the keep - considering the most notable members of the court are a straight-laced old woman who is terrifyingly competent, and the distressingly beautiful and cadaverous spymaster, whose entire room is coated in roses. it’s disgusting. zella is simple, ignoring the fact that she’s half fire elemental, and she just enjoys working the forge, constructing new things to past the time, and engaging in some drunken gossip. she crafted her own leg braces after her injury - she’s got a knack for crafting, naturally. 

ismerasse of chalila is a sea elf, married off to a high elven king for the diplomatic possibilities and because it was decided that she would be the best at manipulating surface interests to serve their own. half of isme’s personality is shaped by constantly being around political manipulation and unsteady courtly politics from a young age, and the other half is constantly striving to play the role of queen mother, mother to her people, gentle scolding ruler (to contrast her husband maelorin’s slightly heavy handed approach to ruling). she burns bridges subtly whenever she feels someone is too close to tearing down her facade, and then reconstructs them when she realizes she kind of wants someone to break down that facade. and then doesn’t want the vulnerability that entails. rinse, repeat, so goes the cycle. she’d sell her husband for one corn chip, but he’s fairly okay when it comes down to it. 

lylindil vanh is isme’s husband’s right hand woman, raised from birth to be the perfect high elven battlemage and inquisitor. naturally, when someone is raised exclusively to fill a role, they become a disastrous wreck of a person when things that don’t concern that role come up. lylindil is closer to a ticking time bomb than a person, a wretched stew of bottled up emotions, desperation, and a yearning for beauty and art. she constantly waffles between how to express things, and usually settles on committing herself violently to her role, revelling in fighting and stomach-turning bloodshed. the more she’s unable to align conflicting parts of herself, however, the more volatile her magic grows. and she kind of enjoys it that way. she’s going to have her downfall, but damn if it won’t be worthy of a tragic play. isme and her may possibly have an affair, when maelorin’s head is deliberately turned. 

beyond my own fantasy stuff, i’ve been thinking a lot abt my ashlander girl ahnatarapli kilusamsi (say that five times fast). while considered the most likely woman to become the next wise woman, ahna insisted that she needed to go forth and learn, mostly to bring back tales of the outside world to act as boogeyman stories for future generations. this works exactly the opposite way she intended, and she has more than one crisis of faith while journeying around. she admires the charity & the immediateness of the tribunal temple, and that’s mostly what causes most of her internal crises. when she’s not having religious crises every ten minutes, she loves cooking and potion brewing, and nothing is more comforting to her than making someone a warm meal.

so i've had my parakeet for a little over a year and i CANNOT get him to eat fruits or vegetables. i've tried giving them whole, chopping them up really small, mixing them with his food or his millet, and i've even resorted to taking his seed out for a small period of time to coax him in to eating the fruits and veggies. none of these have worked. he's currently eating seed because i cannot get him to eat anything else and i'm worried that he's lacking in nutrition. any advice?

They key is consistency - yes you sound like you are being consistent but it requires weeks, months and even years to convert your bird from a habitual seed diet. Why I’m telling you this is because i don’t want you to give up hope’even after trying various options.Sometimes it can be dependent on ratio.So, say you’re mixing veg or fruit chopped up with seeds, you want about a 25/75 veg/seed ratio at first. Then you can add more and more veg to the mix. Another, slightly more reliable option is cooking them, mashing them and mixing with seeds using the same ratio and slowly increasing the amount over a few weeks.You can also add things like cooked lentils, peas, pasta or rice to the mix.Otherwise I would encourage placing leafy greens like silverbeet, english spinach and kale around the cage daily.Another option that i see ALL budgies take to is growing fresh millet and offering that to them before offering veg - i created a post about the benefits of growing bird safe grass seeds here.Goodluck i hope this helped, and let me know how it goes!
