007. Still Water

There's a note on the floor.

"Finishing construction here pretty soon. But… there's a problem."

"Water keeps flowing in. We probably broke a water pipe somewhere."

"Please, get someone to fix it!"

"--REEVS"

"It's been weeks, and nobody came."

"So, as the greatest engineer in the underground, I found a solution!"

"I created a closeable water pipe, which shall get the water back to the main sewer system."

"Turn one of these valves, and watch the water dissipate."

"Though someone has to come here every month to keep the water level in check."

"Just so these halls don't get flooded…"

"--REEVS"

"There may be a problem."

"No matter how much I turn the valve, the water stays."

"This could be bad, I need to fix this. REAL SOON!"

"--REEVS"

"The problem… is in the water."

"I don't want to go into it. It's too dangerous."

"Some of the valves don't even work anymore."

"The KING expects me to fix it, but I wont."

"I'm not risking it."

"Whoever comes with hopes of solving the issue…"

"Know that you may not come out alive."

"--REEVS"

"It's been months since REEVS resigned…"

"The so called rising water level that shall flood the underground…"

"Never existed."

"Or… not in the way REEVS made it out to be."

"The water level didn't increase that much."

"Some debris must have built up inside the pipes."

"So, no more water coming in or out."

"The water just stays here."

"I'll just put up a sign that warns of still water and leave."

"--a humble service worker"

a little update on my thoughts for the next song hopefully it wont be releasing late, i can work on the song and artwork all day tomorrow, so we'll be back on schedule. so! I don't want to get straight into the meat of the story, so why not take a detour instead? the Sewers are as big as you imagine it to be... so what if it had areas with still water? now, i don't want to be like those videos which go "ooh still water so scary!!", but there is something uncomfortable about water that looks solid. (no not ice, that's different) you definitely can't swim, so you have to walk around it, around thin edges. a dance between life and death! except you just walk. really carefully. at the end of hallways, you may find notes, frozen water puddles, unmoving valves, or... shrines? YES! these shrines point to the prophecy, AKA the DELTA RUNE. but uh, it's not that clear. especially with the TORIEL statue. or the other ones. but hey, you can wish for something here! like, getting out? as if! but hey c'mon keep your head high, you can always hope. ...or take a nap.

006. Sewers

(Eww! This place smells!)

(But… it has some charm to it.)

(The sound of water flowing through… it's kinda calming.)

(So… even if I come out smelling like rotten tomatoes…)

(It will be okay.)

(Because I wanna go to that town!)

(So, until I get out of here…)

(I'll be patient!)

[talpidfox-cyan]

SO SORRY FOR NOT POSTING ANYTHING YET! I was away when I was supposed to upload and I never actually started making the art... I'll try to finish it ASAP

this is the sketch for the new song, "Sewers". You solve puzzles, to try and open a gate that separates you from this stinky area! Sorry, no enemies here... It smells so bad... bleh

005. Colorless Staircase

(This place looks so dull…)

(But, that far away town makes me curious.)

(It makes me want to keep going.)

(So, no matter how long getting through here takes me…)

(I'll be patient!)

(HP fully restored.)

COLORLESS STAIRWELL Wait what's this? Color in colorless area? I COULDN'T RESIST! The drawing is still a WIP, or more like up for evaluation. I'm gonna sleep on this and decide if it needs any changes.

ABANDONED AREA

(or abandoned ruins if you wanna call it that)

this was actually very fun to design/draw. I have so much to learn while making this project!

Making this look abandoned was a bit challenging, but asymmetry with how nature has overgrown the RUINS really makes it have that feeling.

Those vines next to the door was a bit weird and i had trouble drawing it but I think it's fine. If they aren't in the same pink-red color scheme, they wont look like veins...

Also, look! The first part of the human's sprite is done! I initially wanted to avoid them being blueish, but I really liked how they looked with pink hair and blue clothes, so I just kept it. Hopefully their design is not too on the nose about them being the CYAN soul.

You might be asking why the RUINS is so abandoned... Well not the entire RUINS but the main path. It's because TORIEL isn't here yet! I think TORIEL is the reason the RUINS in UNDERTALE is so baby-proofed.

I think in UNDERTALE fangames the RUINS is the most expanded upon part because nobody wants to remix the main path for who knows what reason.

Well I have my reason for why I'm not doing the main path but remixed. It's because the RUINS's first part is so abandoned, the puzzles barely function, making it serve more as a barricade for humans. If you want to know about where CHARA fell and how these all connect, well I'll make a post about that soon enough. Hopefully I wont conflict with canon!

Anyways, I hope you like the drawing. If you haven't listened to ABANDONED AREA yet... Please do! It's on SoundCloud, YouTube, and I've even posted it here.

004. Abandoned Area

This door wont budge.

Where to now?

[talpidfox-cyan]

why are there so many bots

[talpidfox-cyan]

wip on the firs room of the ABANDONED RUINS

[talpidfox-cyan]

There were a few other sketches I made to get their personality right.

First of all... Words can't describe how much I dislike their pale design. It looks very uninteresting, and somehow a bit like they're a zombie?

Second attempt at making a good design for them. It looks fine, but in my opinion, would fit a BRAVERY design a lot more. Their ribbon behind their sleeping hat kind of made the whole thing look like a bandanna, which ummm... Is not even close.

Third attempt! This is actually really close to the final design. I wanted to actually pose them, to capture their "character". It was fun to draw. Can't say much else.

Fourth and final sketch before a more finalized design! NOW words can't describe how much I love this piece. Not my best art and despite it being a sketch I really like it! Captures more of their curiosity than patience, and the whole sleepiness isn't too well communicated, but the sketch looks genuinely good! Those were all the sketches I made today. Was a fun ride! Might tweak their design a bit, but for now, it's fine as is.

[talpidfox-cyan]

I've made a design for the fallen human with the soul of PATIENCE!! Spent most of today working on it, was a bit difficult, but i think I've managed to capture their personality. First of all... THEY'RE SLEEPY! They just woke up... Immediately put on their clothes and headed for the mountain. Shirt and leggings are oversized... Maybe not even theirs?

I saw a lot of fan designs put their ribbon on their head, hair, but I haven't seen anyone put in on their wrist! Or use it like a wristband... Oh but why the pink hair? Because I think it looks cool! I think I'll even leave a small reference to Kirby's sleep ability on their sleeping hat. I really hope you like it! Hopefully I can get back to making music. Next release... in 4 days (May 20)
