UTMV: The Balance

Nightmare and his daughter Celeste live alone in the manor for a long time. Her father is unknown and Nightmare never looked into it. Nightmare was unaware he was pregnant until he went into labour. Due to this Celeste was born with a weak soul and ages about 1 month of development every ten years. Nightmare also suffered complications due to her birth and was briefly taken care of by Geno and Reaper who he views as family.

Nightmare found and rescued Killer fifty years after having Celeste. Killer did not truat Nightmare at first but when he found out about Celeste he began to relax more. Once they find a solution to maintain Killers soul without Nightmares intervention the two bond and fall in love.

Killer adores Celeste and treats her as his own. Will happily carry her everywhere, especially when he got a baby sling. Will do anything for Nightmare or Celeste.

UTMV: The Balance fanfic WIP

When Dust first enters Nightmare's manor he struggles with acknowledging his positive emotions. He also is crippling alcoholic and smoker. He ends up falling for Horror and tries to smoke/drink away his feelings. Eventually he does also fall in love with Nightmare and Killer as but that takes time.

Horror and Dust bond due to their arrival at the manor being close together. Killer having arrived many years earlier and is Nightmare's partner before their arrival. Dust and Horror bond while adjusting to the manor and their new safer environment. Horror is also the one with most patience with Dust's vices.

Fanfic WIP: Sans' Hope

After arriving on the surface Sans falls into a deep depression. Toriel and Asgore get Papyrus to help convince Sans to pick a path in life. So Sans ends up enrolling in university to officially get his physics degree. There he meets Ada Williams a third year English major and human mage. This follows their growing romance and Sans' battle with his depression and trauma. Lots of hurt and comfort and lots of awkward romance shenanigans.

Killer is an absolute tease once the Bad Sanses begin their poly. He especially loves sneaking up on Dust who always keeps his ecto up at all times to alleviate his overflowing magic. He will grab Dust's his ass or other parts. Dust alsk has the most visible reaction to his teasing and it usually leads to them tussling or getting intimate.

Either way Killer is loving it.

*TCEST Warning*

A fanfic ideas I've been toying with for a while. ROTTMNT turtle tots due to Mystic power shenanigans end of in the TMNT 2003 universe post Season 3. ROTTMNT tots due to their Splinters neglect and depression don't even know their own names only the colors based nicknames.

Red/Reina: age 5 (trans fem)

Purple/Dari: 3 (nonbinary, selectuve mute autistic)

Blue/Naoki: 3 (male adhd)

Orange/Yuzu: 1 (agender adhd)

Don found them due to their arrival causing a similar signature to the Ultimate Drako arc. Don suffers from ptsd due to that event. Raphael is the one to take on the main caretaker role at first. But over time all the tmnt 2k3 boys adopt the rottmnt tots and their kids. 2k3 turtles eventually are in a poly relationship.

Raphael: 17 (male presenting hemophrodite does take on female terms like Mom, ptsd)

Donatello: 17 (male, ptsd)

Another fanfic WIP: Soul-tied

Sans meets El when they are both children. W.D. Gaster summoned her while trying to find a way to force humans into the underground for sacrificing. His machine only managed to summon a runaway mage named El. Due to her nature as a mage he thought it best to use her in his experiments alongside Sans.

Her soul and DT were used on Sans forcing a soul bond between them. Due to this he begins to try and turn them into a weapon. Thankfully before he can succeed his core experiment malfunctions and shatters and sends him to the void. El while protecting Sans and an infant Papyrus has her connection to reality fractured.

Due to this she is mistaken by monsters to be a ghost. With these she and Sans are able to remain together and are moved to Snowdin.

They two eventually fall in love and one of the last things they do before her existence is lost to all but him is get formally married.

More to come as I work on this.

(I HAVE TOO MANY IDEAS!!)

[yashihamatoart]

When the fanfic ideas hit. This one is a Undertale Multiverse one. The bad sans' in a post Truce world rescue Maeve a Fae monster. She is from an offshoot of Dusttale and this story was part of OG Dust's origin. Being his wife, her death and erasure from his timeline started his descent into madness. Her timeline was destroyed by Error but Error warned the Bad Sans' before hand so they could take her away. Her timeline ended with only her remaining.

She is brought to the manor and lives with the Bad Sanses. She is also three months pregnant at time of rescue. The Bad Sans' (Dust, Horror, Killer and Nightmare) are a polycule and have been together for fifty years. They are all nigh immortal due to Nightmares magic.

Nightmare is the Lord of the manor and acts very noble like. (He is the same person the corruption only changed his form) He sees it as his honor and duty to tend to Maeve. He is honestly a push over when it comes to her.

Dust is her main confidant at first due to their shared life experiences. Dust still deals with the trauma of his past but strives to help lift Maeve up. Is also a big push over for Maeve and will cater to her.

Horror and Maeve grow close due to their shared love of cooking and caring nature's. They spend time cooking and Maeve teaches Horror to bake. Both see feeding others as a sign of great affection.

Killer tends to shower Maeve in attention. They bond over her upcoming child. Killer wanted to have a child but has long been unable to due to his soul. They also tend to gossip together and love talking about romance media and watch bad romcoms together.

i'd like to add that the shadow color isnt necessarily dictated entirely by the primary light source, but the bounce light! so for the example of a sunny environment, the reason the shadows are blue are because of the light from the blue sky reflects across the environment; but, if the character were to be under tree cover, the bounce light would be coming from the leaves and thus the shadow would look greener.

[danidarkarts]

Yee yee!!! You got it right on the nose!

Bounce light is something I didn't cover but I adore it!

Gotta work on my bounce light 💪

My good friends this is called using a

James Gurney is an absolute master and gives really good clarity on colour techniques. Yes, it is traditional paint focused, but the principles are the same. Yes it is informed by the environmental colour but as a painting technique it is achieved this way!

I would also suggest that in digital processing, rather than apply a regular colour layer at a mid opacity, try out the different types of layers, Eg. Screen or Multiply. This can give you at least a starting point to help direct your colour palette.

[technecat-scratchings]

Layer Blend Modes are so so so important to working in digital art. There's a ton of math that goes into figuring out how the layers should blend together, which is why some of the modes you can pick are literally called Multiply, Add, Divide, and Difference (that's subtraction). The graphics software takes the color values of your base and blend layers and runs a calculation to get your resulting layer appearance. The ones that don't have specifically mathematical sounding names are still doing calculations, but they're more complicated (think linear Algebra and higher). Some of them, like dodge and burn, are named for actual photo editing techniques.

While it's not super important to know about the mathematical side of blend modes, I think it's worth knowing at least enough about how each of the categories of blend modes works and why they do what they do; if for no other reason than having a starting point when you start experimenting with them in your work.

An overview of the basic blend modes and how they work from Genevieve's Design Studio: Accessible with minimal color knowledge; practical and illustration focused. https://youtu.be/kMc87hQrJd0?si=TWCB365pKSfWS8p0. (16 minutes) This creator also has a ton of free resources you can download, including a Blend Modes cheatsheet, but fair warning: you have to create an account to get them!

Want to learn even more about the math-y stuff? It has great film visuals! A video from FilmmakerIQ: You need some basic knowledge of RGB color models, understanding of values/luma, and at least a tenuous understanding of Algebraic formulas.
