slaved away at this for over a month... behold, my niche crossover AU..... DELTAMARI

this is already a super long post so reference images + info dumping + extra doodles that didnt make it into the comic are under the cut

also happy birthday deltarune chapter 3+4 my life would not be the same without you

recently i'd been getting back into katamari since one of my coworkers is a fan of the series and i forgot just how awesome this entire franchise is. the obsession came back in full swing right as i got accepted into the telemarketing channel spamtenna zine

these were my first concept sketches, where i was trying to figure out how i wanted to design tenna. i wanted to keep his original outfit as much as i could, but the colors came out way too superhero-like. so that was scrapped and i went back and forth with my homies to figure out his outfit and colors

this was the final ref ! i wanted to keep things simple while also giving the katamari vibe but not losing the characters in the process. i didnt want it to feel like he was just the king with a reskin. same with spamton as the prince.

i definitely want to expand on this au, especially with spamton and tenna's relationship since i didnt want to get too caught up in the yaoi department before i even got past the world building..... but heres the sketches that didnt make it into the comic

thank you for reading . im mentally ill as fuuuuuck

Sorry if this is a lot of an ask, ignore this if I stepped out of line

Hello! I'm curious about your deltamari au, and it had led me down the path of exploring the game it's based of (thank you btw, I love them lil guys alot didn't know what I was missing until now :3).

A question I have is if Spamton were to have a neo form in this au would he grow as big as Tenna here or atleast close too?

Another one is in the game the king punishes the prince if they fail, would your deltamari tenna punish as well or would it be like in deltarune where he'd just let you try again with point deduction and electrocution?

thank you so much for the ask !!! these were such good questions and i had so much fun with this!! its awesome seeing someone interested in my little AU heheheh

i'll probably make a proper design for deltamari sneo when i have some free time sooner or later. the idea of him reaching neo and still being shorter than tenna is really funny to me, but maybe with tenna's ability to grow and shrink, he can let spamton have some fun feeling big

maybe in a more intense scenario, spamton reaches his goal to become as big as the galaxy in a literal sense. with a power even greater than the royal knight, he could engulf space with his size. in the debut comic, he fulfills this goal of being "big" in a more figurative way by helping tenna restore the stars and saving earth, gaining recognition from the planet's creatures... but what if there's more out there for him?

and even though deltamari tenna is too nice to truly be evil or cruel towards spamton, i can imagine some slapstick humor between the two of them like some looney toons gimmicks. big hammers and pianos falling from the sky
