After seeing my old refs of Bans and whatnot I think I should share some updated concepts (I made these a few weeks ago)! I drew Bass because they’re still so lovely in my opinion! I kinda really wanna digitalize it into a sticker or something because they give great serotonin 💖 for the second sketch I wanted to play off the idea that since Bans is the opposite of Sans that instead of smiling all the time and hiding when things are bad, he frowns all the time and wears his emotions on his sleeve- really upping his anti-Sans narrative (thus why Sans doesn’t appreciate him because he’s everything he would rather not be). As for the third I was mainly making a concept of like- you know how when Sans is really upset his sockets go black? I wanted it to be the opposite for Bans- where the black in his eyes become more obsolete, in turn making the ‘X’s dashed in his eyes- kinda making his eyes closer to Sans’ (in the pure white pupil form) thus the reason he’s able to smile but it looks deranged because he’s not used to smiling and he’s under a lot of distress. The original concept was gonna be because I thought Sans frowned when he had black eyes but that was in fact a Mandela effect ahah- anyways yep! Just essentially making Bans the antithesis of Sans to make the ‘being Sans’ negative side’ a more prominent piece of who he is!
