My first rendition of Graphite's design

Because of how much he changes character throughout UMSFD in personality and design, I tend to separate both versions of him. On one hand, we have the UMSFD universe, and on the other the original Overtale version of him.

Tbh, I've begun to distinguish them name wise as well. UMSFD is Graphite ofc. OTau is just Commissar or Agot, aka the first type of graphite used in nuclear reactors.

La clase dominante y su religión siempre han utilizado la caridad para amortiguar los efectos de su modo de producción: o sea, a tratar bien el esclavo pero que continúe la esclavitud Fue la Iglesia y su feudalismo que lo llevo a su máxima expresión hasta establecerse como una Institución Pública dentro de las Monarquias; el siervo feudal le tenía que dar su tributo (Impuesto) aristocrata parte de su siembra y tambien el diezmo a la iglesia, que era la encargada de "combatir" las "desigualdades" (de ahí viene el diezmo)

Solo la burguesía estuvo en contra de esto al principio de su reinado, "dar es comunismo y por tanto anti religioso"; pero debido a los efectos del usufructo del trabajo asalariado, lo esta volviendo a institucionalizar a traves de sus ONG´S y Fundaciones, y que aprovechan para no pagar impuestos y desviar recursos públicos.

The ruling class and its religion have always used charity to soften the effects of their mode of production: that is, to treat the slave well but continue slavery It was the Church and its feudalism that took it to its maximum expression until it established itself as a Public Institution within the Monarchies; the feudal servant had to give his aristocratic tribute (Tax) part of his sowing and also the tithe to the church, which was in charge of "fighting" the "inequalities" (hence the tithe). Only the bourgeoisie was against this at the beginning of their reign, "giving is communism and therefore anti-religious"; but due to the effects of the usufruct of salaried work, it is re-institutionalizing it through its NGOs and Foundations, and they take advantage of it to avoid paying taxes and diverting public resources

OVERTALE’S BACK!!!

After a semester of gruelling senior work, overcoming senioritis, and more importantly to you all, an unannounced hiatus, KK here to give you an update on what’s going on in the wonderful little world of Overtale. (which on a side note I still regret naming it that as it gets confused with other AU’s but too late to change it now ;;;;)

As you can probably tell We’re coming back!!! but as I reeeeeally don’t want to clutter your dashboards (since honestly unannounced long posts irritate me) The majority of the info is below the cut!

But for those only sticking around long enough to read this part, thank you for sticking with this blog through this long hiatus! ^^;;

We’e got a few changes happening so I’d like you all to know what exactly is going on through it all, so without further ado.....

Schedule Changes!!!

As I’m still in highschool and also prepping for college rather than once a week Overtale will be updating every 2 weeks on Sundays at 5pm EST starting today January 28th. Although there may be a few sporadically spaced updates here and there if I have the time, such as how next week I’ll be wrapping up the prologue rather than just nothing, s keep an eye out, maybe turn on notifications too!

As for the next two weeks in one week I’ll be finishing the prologue as I just said, and the next week the comic itself will be wrapping up chapter 2 since there is literally a page or two left of it.

Format Changes!!!

In total honesty I could not keep up with the comic pages as I had to come up with a format and placement, then I’d draw manually on paper, scan it in, clean up the lines, make it transparent, fill in the colors, add in text, and finally any special effects if I needed them. Along with studying and maintaining a social life and a few other blogs, it was honestly too much, so!!! I shall be updating in another format which won’t a) eat all my time up so I can get more content out to you all faster and b) won’t degrade my art quality either (Compared to the art you’ve seen I’m actually much better, check out @kkmcarty​ under the tag “#KK’s art” and you’ll get the idea).

But the format is going to go a little something like this:

much higher quality image of the characters doing what they do (with the occasional animation of course)

beneath each image will be dialogue between the characters such as: William: Frisk are you sure this is a good idea? * You nod, after all it’s your only choice William: Goodness... I really hope you know what you’re getting into.... and so forth!

this format will help allow me to get more out to you all more quickly and I’m glad a friend recommended it to me or I wouldn’t have continued this story in all honesty.

[NOTE: The format changes will be taking place starting in chapter 3, the end of chapter 2 will still be in comic format!!!]

Asks are a thing!!!

While before I attempted to do this in a comic type format, I MIGHT (emphasis on might) bring them back in comic format, but for now, they will be open in general to a list of available characters as listed on the ask page, as well as me myself, and for the most part they’ll be answered in text format, and if you asked a character there will be reaction images as well.

For the most part asks are open to explore lore which I will not be able to get to in comic, and believe me there is a LOT of lore there that unfortunately will not get explored <:/ any asks go of course, but If there are spoilers I probably won’t answer them directly. Though you never know the characters might be a liiittle more receptive since they don’t know their own narrative

And finally.......

Blog renovations!!!!

Over the next two weeks this blog will be undergoing minor renovation, mostly for desktop so mobile users there’s no need to worry. I don’t have a full list of what will or will not be changed, but I can guarantee that I’ll be making all the blog pages accessible to mobile users for certain!!!

That’s bout it for changes!!! for those of you who stuck it out and read through this or as still reading the comic thank you so much for your support, I honestly did not want to let this comic be another dead thing that never got finished and I’m glad to have it up and running once more, and it’s all thanks to you lovely people who, despite the long hiatus and deadness of the blog, have stayed following or followed in the hopes it would continue.

So thank you all again, and I hope you have a wonderful rest of the day wherever in the world you are.

Heyyyaa! I really love all your art and writing and the au concept you have. Do you have other designs for its characters? I’d be curious to see, esp if you have one of Gaster since am I right in suspecting he plays a role in Graphite and Chalk’s backstory?? Mayhaps?

Hello there, and thanks!

A lot of the designs I have for the Overtale characters are really really old and looking back, there are some designs I would change now in the present. BUT! One that I would not change is Muffet's who I have done a little doodle of here now for you

I love her so much. Out of the Overtale cast, her design is my favorite. Mmm, big gun arm

As for Gaster uh...

...yeah.

he had more of a shell/exoskeleton pre-goop in OT. For UMSFD, I think I'm gonna be changing him a bit ahahahaaa

same canvas doodles below the cut

baby chalk lives in my head. also drawing graphite being happy is weird.
