Undergraffiti History (concepts)
Well, as I was looking around my sketchpads, I found a certain page that made me remember, how I made the idea of Undergraffiti. (quite long explanation)
Before I’ll show the page, the reason I called this UnderGraffiti and not GraffitiTale is because, there’s no story to give. I keep saying that this is a support AU. From what I mean from this, UnderGraffiti is an AU where any characters (clients) of different AU can come to relax or have break. Like a luxury universe. UnderGraffiti have also channels. Since there are a lot of characters from different AUs, channels can help to refrain stalling or fill the entire space of UnderGraffiti.
These channels are based of the map of Undertale. Namely: Ruins, Snowdin, Waterfall, Hotland, and the Core. (I didn’t include the True Lab.) Next would be the channel number, this would refer to the specific channel that the character would like to go. The corresponding numbers goes:
Channel 1: Winter Channel 2: Autumn Channel 3: Summer Channel 4: Spring
Notice that the the channel numbers are seasons? Well, that’s the purpose.
The channels also have corresponding codes. The code is: (map)_(channel number).
Example: Snowdin_1
Therefore, Channel Snowdin_1 is occurring winter season. Of course, the channels are optional depending on the character.
Within that channel, there are server assigned. By server, the characters created for UnderGraffiti.
I designed few characters forUndergraffiti but there are some I couldn’t think of a design...
WELL!!! That’s out of the way, here’s the certain page I was talking about:
(picture)
As seen the picture, this is mainly about Graffiti!Sans. He is originally from my OC which is inspired from different artist. The pencil drawing is the oldest while the ballpen is the newest.
Z (Zed) was inspired by Sidu, who is known as the illustrator of MekakuCity Actors. I really, really, love this anime, so as the artist and Jin. I listened to Mekaku’s open, Daze, and I was inspired by how they play with the paint, holding out their roller paint and air spray. It was so beautiful, the song made it even better. I gave Z a personality of being lazy and uninteresting. But then I wasn’t able to give him more character development and actually forgot that I drew him in that sketchpad.
And then I met Undertale! So yeah...same thing happened, I was looking through my sketchpads and then I found Z then I made some twitch with his design (with my ballpen ahahahaha~)
So yeah, I created UnderGraffiti with more characters!
Speaking about characters, here they are! I like the color scheme of purple ^ - ^ It also fits with perseverance.
- Tenkisan (meaning: weather in Japanese). In short, Tenki.
I created Tenki as the guardian of the AU. He watches everyone if the servers are doing their job correctly or there are bugs in the system. (Illustration 1, Illus 2) The characters believed him as the god of the AU but he’ll quickly deny that fact. He knows well who’s the real god of the AU. And he doesn’t like it.
There isn’t a real reason why I drew him as a wolf. Well...there’s that one. The word lone wolf. He’s-- you know...lone? By himself.
Tenki is immortal and cannot be hurt even with presence of the Rules. Although, his appearance doesn’t stay the same as years pass by. He eventually turned into a skeleton but still live onward. (Illus 3. PS I drew him Sans like for no reason)
- God
Creator but lazy.
- The 7 Balanced Souls (aka. the 7 human souls)
The inspiration, the barrier, the will, the power, the guidance of the servers who kept them to be determined in their job.
-The Rules:
-The client cannot die as long they’re in Undergraffiti. They cannot be harmed by the servers as they cannot hurt them.
- 40% of chances that the servers can kill each other depending if there’s a critical bug invasion.
-Tenki and god can communicate.
-Servers can only have 2 client at a time to serve them in their needs.
-Tenki can accept favors from servers if they can find his home. The favor will be turned into Oath. The Oath can be only be made between Tenki and the server. Tenki’s oath is that they’ll have to work a week straight without resting their cooldowns.
-Cooldowns refers to sleep mode or rest.
-Some times, Undergraffiti prepares huge events like festival. But mostly in connection with arts.
-Tenki hates fixing damages from the clients who goes in rampage or sudden battles. Damages can repair on their own by 86%. Big damage goes to Tenki.
