Temmie was the first one i did and she definitely was the one I had the most trouble with, mostly her vibe and overall demeanor, I wanted to make her like an old rich lady who puts class and business above all else, hence the cigarette holder, the furcoat and the dress, mostly because I couldn’t draw her paws
I wrestled with an on the shoulder brown coat but quickly opted for a losely hanging blue coat to keep up with her original palette while accentuating the yellow to gold to show wealth
Muffet was the first I thought of giving the furcoat and an almost ballerina like stance, given her greedy nature, but I couldn't find a way to make it work in a way that did not smother her, so I gave up on it and focused on trying the head and hair
The jacket and scarf were quick to come when i gave up the furcoat for Muffet, so I just needed to focus on how to make everything fit together for her design
The fur on the jacket is used to link her for a future plot point in the story, a very important plot point trust me trust me
For Grillby he was figured out from the very beginning, back when the Au wasn’t named "Unjusttale" but "Underpurge" very edgy i know i was struggling to find a personality that wouldn’t just be " fanon Underfell but worse" which was one of my biggest problem back then, he was always meant to be a tall, top heavy rock guy but his overall character was never really fully fleshed out
Then he turned into an ice wall with anything but a personality and that didn’t work either because he just wasn’t memorable
