Hi !! I decided to do this DTIYS by @returntosunder !! Amazing artist really .. said we could and should use our own Ink designs so I decided to draw Pointe!Verse Ink !

This is the very first DTIYS I have ever done , sorry if I did anything wrong -

Click on the image for better quality .. I spent so much time on this 😓

Whoops , didn’t mean to die , I was being real , I failed Inktobertale so have .. uhm .

Uhmmm .. PointeVerse content in 2025 ?!? The Star Sanses are definitely Prima Ballerinas ,,

Pointe!verse concept sketches and general blather ,,

What is Pointe!verse ?

Pointe!Verse is my personal Undertale Multiverse centered around Performance Art and Ballet , all the characters are some sort of artist or performer and they all play out their respective roles . It’s primarily focused on Error and Ink , but it’s not quite Errorink , I don’t know how to explain it

⚠️ Everyone’s roles here are fairly canon-divergent . I know not every character is completely within their canon here because I just don’t care ! For the sake of interpretation , please let them be a little funky .. oh yeah ! A lot of this art is somewhat old as of posting this , designs vary ..

“ All the world’s a stage . ” - William Shakespeare

Ink!

Ink is a Ballerina , along with the other two ‘Star Sanses’, among other things .. He’s a professional who excels at the technique and skills required to perform ballet , visual arts , musical and otherwise , but is often shown to lack the emotional involvement that truly makes the performance impactful .

His outfit is entirely pearlescent white , a leotard with a big bow attached in the back . The tails of the bow are exceedingly long , rounding off at the ends in what could be seen as a replacement for his scarf ( because it’s fun to draw , eugh ) he has a translucent purple veil over his face , matching the top of his leotard . This was gifted to him by Error to “Cover that terrifying void within .” IT HAS A PEARL STRAP , ITS JUST NOT IN THESE DRAWINGS ,, :[

Ink is the only character in the verse to go en pointe with no pointe shoes . This is because he can’t feel pain and also really hates shoes . .

In dimmer lighting , the pearlescent white of the outfit shimmers a rainbow hue . Ink’s soullessness works a bit differently in this au , but for brevity , he doesn’t need to carry around vials and he gets his life force from the actual performances themselves ,,

ERROR.

The Error in Pointe!Verse is a puppeteer , similar to how he is in canon , but his puppet work is more centered around ball-jointed dolls instead of . Sssock puppets -??? I don’t know what to call those things from canon .. He HATES performance art and generally serves to both steal and ruin the shows of others !! He’s like a cartoon villain where he’s overtly silly but also deeply menacing at times . I’m hoping to go into his motives later on , but for now , I’ll leave that vague .

I kept his outfit primarily a dark blue ( in place of black ) to echo his original design , but instead of choosing a blue as his secondary color , I chose red because it’s a color that symbolizes passion and determination , which he has a lot of both - I gave him a silly little mask as a nod to his past as Geno , and a hat because he looked bald without it . YES he’s wearing high heeled boots because he’s an icon ! He also fully embraces his role as a chaotic villain and got a cape just to play into it - he’s trying to hard but also not hard enough at the same time ..

I have drawings for some of the other characters - but right now , I don’t have a lot of them completely figured out . They’re not the main focus anyways , mostly support characters and plot points - like in a play , y’know !

But . For now , I should probably explain what Pointe!Verse actually . Is .

IMAGINE THE MULTIVERSE AS A PERFORMANCE ON A STAGE !! Everything has its own piece , its own music , its own dance , its own story . However ! Princess Tutu style , everyone goes to this art school , art college , performance art central , whatever !! And everything is kind of funky inside and out of the auditorium !

People can interact outside of performances completely differently to how they behave on stage , but most cases their performances reflect their relationships with one another . Not everything is extremely literal here !!! Stuff ends up being a lot more metaphorical !! Uhmmm ..

Yeah !!! So , follow my PointeVerse tag if you want ,, I do things sometimes !

wait wait wait. Is pointeverse a multiverse where people do ballet??????

why haven’t I heard of this before????? This is AWESOME????

can you do a quick exposé on the lore? I wanna learn more (if you want and if it’s ok ofc)

HI !! Yes !!

PointeVerse is a multiverse where all the different au characters participate in a bunch of different performance art !!! There’s ballet , musicals , there’s a jester ! (fresh) basically any form of art you’d typically rent out a stage for , this multiverse uses !

I’m currently making a master post for the concepts I have down for different characters and their roles in this world , the draft has been sitting in wait for a while now ,, but !! I haven’t really gotten into the lore yet , so !! You’re in luck , my friend , I haven’t SO much to ramble about within PointeVerse ,,

OKAY . So . All the world’s a stage , right ? And all the men and women , merely players —

Something something , William Shakespeare ..

So , imagine the entire multiverse as a performance art center - there’s many different stages , many different performances ! It’s all the different aus , playing out like shows - musicals , songs , dances , ensembles , anything for the audience - who are our creators , fellow fans , etc.

Stages are set with props , there’s themes , stories to tell , different stages to suit different needs - the usual ! And there’s also the characters that don’t have set stages , who also have roles to play ! Such as Ink and Error , two performers without a reservation , without a stage , without a proper story to fill out -

A lot of the actual story elements can get very metaphorical and artistic , which is the point(e) ! PointeVerse is meant to be centered around artistic expression and favor the emotional value over logic at times -

over all , there’s not a definitive story for me to tell .. but multiple I wish to express through a different light ! Something a bit more poetic , maybe a smidgen more melancholic or perhaps even humorous .

I don’t have a lot of the smaller stories planned out , but I have a lot planned for specifically Error and Ink , because I enjoy their different dynamics in every multiverse , and especially within PointeVerse where their entire relationship is a bit complicated - think like . Fakir and Mytho from Princess Tutu , but also Fakir acts more like Drosselmeyer and Mytho never gets his heart back -

PRINCESS TUTU ACTUALLY HAS A LOT OF INFLUENCE IN POINTEVERSE .. along with movies like The Little Prince and games like The Blind Prince and The Liar Princess and things of those nature — I definitely have a lot more to say regarding the multiverse which I will speak about later on , probably with more art that I have made for PointeVerse and it’s characters - but !! For now ? PointeVerse coming soon >:)

Fin .

It’s centered around Ballet and Performance Art — but I need help coming to a conclusion on which pose to use ..
