I might be doing something…

So… I might start a Shadowtale comic. HOWEVER, it will entirely depend on you! I want you to answer the poll honestly, because a comic is a lot of work and I only want to do it if there are enough people that will actually read it. That’s why I will only draw the comic if I get 50 positive votes (votes for me to do the comic). If I end up doing it, I will close my asks in order to be able to concentrate on the project and I will start after all the asks I have received before are answered (so it might take a week or two before I start). If you want the project to come to life, a reblog would really help! (No pressure tho). I will try to do 1 page every 2 weeks. The image up there will be the cover ^^. Anyway, I think that’s all! Thank you! (Sorry if my text doesn’t make any sense, my English isn’t perfect 😅. Btw, Shadowtale fanarts are ofc accepted and gladly appreciated as long as you credit me)

If I make a Shadowtale comic, will you read it? (!!Answer honestly please!!)

Yes, absolutely!

Nah, I wont

Some unfinished drawings I made in class (this time in an actual sketchbook and not my agenda!!). I'll post them when I'm finished.

Pinned post!

Shadowtale comic:

Currently on a break!

Here is the link to the start of the story, and here are the links to the character sheets:

Cave Sans

Shadow Frisk

Shadow Papyrus

Shadow Alphys

Shadow Undyne

Shadow Flowey

Shadow Mettaton

Shadow Toriel

Shadow Muffet

Shadow Asgore

(Btw, go check out @localdreameater and @posuide, they helped me a lot and the comic wouldn’t have existed without them. They are also amazing friends and their art is peak)

Asks are open!

The characters available are Shadowtale characters (ref sheets up there), me and these UTMV characters: Classic, Fell, Swap, Dream, Cross, Epic, Ink, Error, Killer, Horror, Dust and Nightmare. I will answer with uncolored drawings. Also, remember, these are only my headcanons and won’t necessarily make sense. If I take a little while to answer your ask, don’t forget I am just one person with studies, a family and friends. That is me by the way ↓

I suck at pinned posts, but I think that's all!

Some shadowtale drawings I did in school (I borrowed my art school's alcohol markers)

Lore dump of Shadowtale (in a nutshell)

So this Sans comes from a genocide route. Only, before the end, he was in a cave that was Gaster's lab before he fell in the void and got stuck there (landslide or something like that). After a few hours, his body began to absorb the shadow around him, that was actually a failed experiment of Gaster, and this shadow changed him, physically and mentally. The darkness shaped his body based on the surroundings, giving him wings and sharp teeth based on the bats around him. On a mental level, the shadow made him lose a large part of his humanity, giving him an animal and aggressive character (although he can still speak and reason a little), filled him with negative feelings coming out in the form of shrill screams (Nightmare magnet?) and affected his memory, making him forget his loved ones and his old life. When he finally found a way out of the cave, Frisk had reset and started a peaceful route, but the cave and its inhabitants were (because Gaster was able to do it to keep his experiments) immune to resets. This is how every night, Cave goes out to feed on the blood of the first creature nearby, sowing panic among the monsters. The shadow also started spreading, affecting monsters everywhere.

That's basically it! Ofc there are a few details missing but it's the basic story. Here are old drawings of the characters:

Even if you can't talk...

Can I hug you?

You didn’t specify who you were asking but I deduced it must be Shadow Alphys. She didn’t really say yes but she doesnt really mind

[nightmaresabsolutesimp]

*gives her a pen and a piece of paper*

H-Here! Uh...maybe you can communicate with us through this!

Welp. Seems like she doesn’t remember how to write as well…
