Here's my attempt to come up with a swap between the Forgotten Man and Friend (who could be Mike but that's not certain) for the Deltarune Swap AU designs I've been working on. I had a hard time coming up with which features to swap given that the Forgotten Man doesn't HAVE a design, besides the tree. I looked around for interpretations, and most mad him either gaster or another human, but one I saw made it the inverse face thing on the MysteryMan sprite, which I really liked. And of course, this is assuming that Gaster and the Forgotten Man are separate people, since I'm swapping Gaster with Gerson. I feel like this is probably the weakest of the designs I've made (Especially Friends). I mostly based it off Cat Petterz being a game with circle graphics. I don't got any colors from the Man besides "Monochrome" to base this Friend off of, so I went for a standard black cat. Could also be grey but I just thought of that as I typed this.

I say this with all of these posts but any critiques or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Here's what I got for the Carol-Toriel Swap for the Deltarune Swap I'm working through. I feel like Carol would totally wear those tacky Christmas sweaters if on like, vacation or smth, so she'll def have one as a teacher. I don't want to change TOO much about them, imagining them as what they'd be if their life took a drastically different path. Because of that, instead of Carol being a super lovely kind person like Toriel, she's still got that intimidating aura, but in the strict=yet-effective teacher sorta sense, and Toriel is a very caring person still, but put in a profession that doesn't give her the opportunity to spend time with her family and others as much (like befriending sans). As for how they'd be as mothers, I feel like Toriel would still be kind yet avoidant of issues, except due to her being busy, she doesn't get to connect to her kids as well. Carol would still be a strict ruling mother, but a bit more lenient. This also plays into the Dess-Asriel swap cause of the swapped parenting styles. As for Dark World designs, shut up (lol kidding, I'll work on it later) Again, none of this is final and I'd appreciate any critiques and/or suggestions.

Some ideating for the Kris/Vessel Swap of the Deltarune Swap I started working on recently. The current idea is to swap Kris and the player's role. While in normal Deltarune, We control Kris unwillingly, the swap makes Kris the one in control of our empty vessel. Maybe Kris's body was seperated from their soul and now uses an empty vessel to find their original body (kinda like that one Dess theory of Dess being split in two and Knight Dess looking for Code Dess) (Or like how some players want to find their vessel and let Kris be free, Kris wants to find their proper body and live this wrong one). Idk what to do with the soul in this since they aren't really a character. I'm thinking of just scraping them, given they're the stand-in for the player and our choices, and I'm not doing a choose your own adventure thing with this lol. Again, this is me figuring it out live as I type this so I'm still working on it. Suggestions are appreciated.

I've been trying to come up with a Deltarune Swap AU given the character relations we know now by CH4. I'm having a hard time figuring out what to do so I figured I show my ideas so far. I'm using a couple theories I believe as a basis (Dess Knight and 4th hero namely) I also want to minimize swapping darkners between dark worlds, with obvious exceptions, but I'm up to other ideas. The colored lines are alternate takes I thought equally possible. Blue represents the classic swaps from back in the UnderSwap days, while Red represents new swaps that I think fit the new GersonxGaster swap (Given how much they parallel each other I thought it'd make sense to swap them). Gerson has ties to his son Alvin and his successor Alphys, so in a swap with Gaster, that leads to his "son" Sans and "successor" Papyrus". Sans and Paps could swap places in this swap and still work, but given that Papyrus is a shut-in in DR, it fits Alphys' nerdy personality. It also frees up Undyne to swap with blooky, that then lets MewMew to swap freely with MTT without anyone left out. HOWEVER, I have no clue who to swap Berdly and Ralsei with in this case. I could swap Ralsei and Lancer, but that leaves out Rouxls with no obvious pick. ALSO, I swapped Ramb with that one floppy disk. This is due to that theory that Ramb is a type of powerstrip that doesn't work (british ifrc?), leading to the idea that he literally had no purpose and only became a sentient darkner cuz kris gave him the purpose of a toy. This could fit Floppy disks since they don't work on any new tech and would only gain a personality/purpose from someone messing around with it. Maybe. Also, because I didn't know who else from Cyber World to swap Ramb with. Genuinely wanna hear out others' ideas cuz I'm stumped.

Quick sketches of some characters from the new Glitch show Gameoverse. Really enjoyed it and hope it gets greenlit, it has a ton of potential!

Did some extra drawings to fill up the canvas, mostly more Kit for fun. (Also I just realized I forgot her tail ugghh)

Trying to come up with a sona for myself that's not just me. Some stick more to me while others are cool concepts I wanted to draw for a bit and used this as an excuse (like the puppet). I really like some of them and will workshop it from there, but I am curious what anyone else thinks.

[thosegreenbeans]

Some practice sketches to try learning action lines, I think, idk how well I actually did.

Mini Review - Xenoblade Chronicles 3

Nintendo Switch - Beaten 2/13/2026

Ok, having now finished all of the Xenoblade games so far. I will say this that I absolutely loved this game from start to finish so much. I cannot say it is my favourite of all time of the series (X still takes that spot) but it is VERY high up there for sure.

First off, plot and story wise, it does not hesitate to throw you into the middle of things to start, I will admit that the tutorials through here and the forced to use specific characters at the start to learn the playstyles can likely grate on some people, but that is thankfully VERY short lived and the rest of the game opens up pretty soon. As par for a Xenoblade game, the world is still absolutely great and gorgeous as usual. And there are so many places that spark a 'oh I've seen this before' too which fits well with the game itself as a whole.

The story definitely had its hard hitting parts but it really kept me hooked all the way through, even though some people criticize the villain cast compared to what we had in 1 and 2, I will admit that some of 1's is hard to beat, and for this one though I still found them to be very good and suitable for the plot for sure.

I honestly don't want to speak more on the story and plot for fear of spoilers, but honestly a lot of things that were part of it somehow feels super relevant today now too upon thinking about it. Also, I did NOT expect a side story chapter to hit me as hard as it did in the feels.

Finally, gameplay wise, I really loved how this one executed things in regards to the battle system and the class system. Being able to swap party members on the fly is a HUGE change and a huge help a lot of times for sure. And the amount of customization you could do for each character I feel starts to rival X's level of customization. I liked being able to use the different classes on each character for sure and found some that I like using more than others too. And I feel like chain attacks in this game are a LOT better and more satisfying to pull off compared to 1 and 2's chain attacks. All in all, the pace of this battle system absolutely throws it into being my fav in comparison to the other games as well.

Lastly, I will want to speak about Future Redeemed, the DLC. That is absolutely worth every cent for sure. The entire side story is a HUGE love to the rest of the series for sure, and even that felt more refined than the base game in a lot of areas too in regards to the general Quality of Life matters and how combat felt at times, you don't have any of the class customization and build options in Future Redeemed as you do the base game, but honestly I didn't mind that at all. I do recommend playing that AFTER finishing the base game because of spoiler reasons, but regardless it is absolutely phenomenal of a side chapter for sure.

Been playing the new Tomodachi Life and put a ton of the Xenoblade cast in it. It's been really fun, and I made sure to get the aegis siblings all together as soon as I could. So, I decided to draw based on the outfits I gave them for fun! I headcanon Malos, post-2 to be kinda like an older brother to rex/ a gym bro (positive) like the guys in Mob Psycho but with his own flair now that he doesn't have his Amalthus influencing him. This was so much easier than drawing their actual outfits that I might just keep drawing them like this so I can get more art of them out :D

wow i made my last post then went on an art spree LMFAO... also sneaking in the moodboards i made of shalvis for a club...

I FINALLY FINISHED IT!!! After both procrastinating the final drawing for weeks and having exams, I finally finish drawing a bunch of trans characters for what was trans day of visibility. There are some others I also wanted to draw (like some ISAT) but my main goal was to mostly fill the canvas, and I did it. Added the two MHA Trans characters since I've been watching it slowly over the past couple months with family and really liking it. And Zooble since they're awesome. (Added Ranma because...y'know, and Francois from Dr Stone since I've been really into their series and figured they fit the theme well enough even if they're not officially Trans/NB) (Heck, Juniper isn't either but like cmon, gotta fit my xenoblade obsession somewhere and they're cool)

Me when in Xenoblade 1 Melia is the only one Fiora confides in about her impending mortality and when the Xenoblade 1 artbook has a short story about how Melia regularly holds Fiora's hand while asleep to comfort her through her night terrors and then when Xenoblade 3 said "Melia forged the Lucky Seven blade by resonating her heart with the metal and as a result the sword is the manifestation of Fiora"

Hope you guys will indulge me a little bit as I just wanna list off some things I love about Zeke

He's the Zekenator

He's such a silly goofy guy

His design is perfection

The Eye of Shining Justice

He's extremely quotable (I have "Zeke von Genbu, Bringer of Chaos! Mostly known as Zeke and often addressed as the Zekenator" memorized)

His blade, Pandoria, has lightning powers and I like lightning powers

Also he has a big fucking lightning sword

His super ultra mega move is called "Ultimate Lightning Fury Slash Max" and the name of it is so long that in game it has to be abbreviated to ULFS Max

Ultimate Lightning Fury Slash Max is also just my favorite move to use, it's very satisfying

Turters

He's a genuinely interesting character with depth despite the fact he initially seems like just a comic relief character

"Handling a Man's Turtle" <- another great quote from the Zekenator

His theme goes hard

The fact that his main nerf is that his animations for his moves take a long time because he's such a show off

He has bad luck as a character trait and that actually carries over into his stats as he has the worst luck stat of the party members (That sounds bad but I honestly just love the attention to detail)

He's the Zekenator

Gushing about his backstory more, he's a prince who hates the way his kingdom is run and got kicked out for constantly leaving and refusing to do his royal studies, but even so he still clearly cares about his kingdom and his people, he just hates the way things are run

He's also 100% correct about the kingdom being run poorly btw

Him and Pandoria have such funny moments and banter but are also so soft they make me so crazy /pos

He's such a great mentor/big brother figure to Rex

And also his rivalry with Morag is really great

Nia calls him Shellhead and he just kinda accepts it

I feel like I should bring up a point involving Tora now but all I can really think of is they have some funny dialogue together

He has a no kill policy because he believes killing people makes you weak

Just every cutscene he's in brings me joy

His idle animations are great, sometimes I just put the controller down to watch them

Did I mention that he's the Zekenator?
