JUST SOME THOUGHTS! I don’t really like the “go from the top up” advice on drapery/clothes - if you’re having difficulty try it like this!

I’m not familiar with that program, so I can’t say for sure. D: If there’s a way to check the image size, make sure it matches this:

(4) UNDERTALE AU MERCH PERMISSION MASTERLIST.

Recently people have been coming to me expressing their worries about creating merchandise. They are unsure if they are allowed to produce products. Here is displayed written permission for UF/US/SF/FS. Extra screenshots provided by a good friend of mine, Kuma san as well as Nise. Thank you, both of you! Kumada has a separate page for permissions displayed here (but it is in Japanese): https://13n070.wixsite.com/utau2017jp (Also note KH san response to R18 SWAPFELL content please.)

Seeing as how Atlantale is occurring soon (02/10/2018) as well as Japan’s second UT event VERY SOON (07/2017), I thought I would put this together for the benefit for all. Kuma san has told me that Japan artists are VERY sensitive for permission and their first event was VERY STRICTLY Undertale only and NO AU’S. I hope this will furthermore help and encourage other artists to create their own products without fear!

Because this post had been circulating again, here are some more permissions that I had forgotten to include. Forgive me for not adding these earlier! Please use the knowledge at leisure! :) (My apologies for the bad translations.. 학생이에요… ^^;; as well as for the long post)

Please note: Names are not revealed so that privacy is ensured. A lot of these creators are no longer involved/interested in Undertale fandom! Thanks for being respectful!

Violet is the color of mystics and magic workers. This hue is a combination of the spiritual seeker in Blue and the active energy of Red which creates someone who is very in tune with their psychic abilities yet is also grounded in the physical and applies their knowledge in practical ways. Violet has also long been equated to luxury due to the rarity and expense of the pigment used to dye fabric. Violet individuals therefore have an innate nobility and dignity about them and often focus on the artistic aesthetics in the various aspects of their life. Violet people often enjoy the ritual components and ceremonial tradition in their activities. The downside to Violets active imagination is that they often don’t believe that those dreams and goals are achievable.

*I will be utilizing the Additive Color Wheel for determining complementary colors because I have found this to provide the most effective color harmonies. The traditional Red-Yellow-Blue Color Wheel is for pigment mixing and is less relevant to our current study*

Tuesday Tips — Dynamic VS Flat staging

Any time, dear. I’m so glad I can be of some help to people! I hope you’ve gotten through whatever had you stuck! 

It definitely does count. And it definitely doesn’t get boring fast if done correctly. I think internal struggles can actually be a lot more interesting and impactful than external ones. They’re also usually a lot more relatable for readers as we deal with these sort of conflicts every day.  

A battle within ourselves, such as overcoming addiction, changing our opinions/viewpoints, making tough decisions, breaking bad habits, fear of intimacy, etc. are all themes we see in media time and time again because it works. It’s interesting!  It can be dramatic or even funny at times.

 Internal conflict is essential to bringing your characters to life and making them realistic for readers, and it could be the main source of conflict in your piece if you wanted it to be. American Beauty is a great example of a film that revolves around a plethora of internal conflict. 

The reason internal conflict can get boring is that it’s not being externalized enough. Externalizing internal conflict can be tricky, but no one wants to read a book that’s just a character thinking in their head the entire time. 

i.e. –If you have a character that struggles with addiction, don’t have them sitting around thinking about how badly they want their next smoke with internal dialogue. Instead, maybe they rummage through their dirty hotel room and the seats of their beat-up car for some change and whatever bills they can find, and they walk down to the gas station ready to buy a pack, but after pacing in front of the register for a minute they throw down a snickers and a coke and leave with just that. 

In American Beauty, the internal conflict is a mid-life crisis. But Lester doesn’t sit and droll on about it or tell us that’s what’s going on. What does he do? He starts smoking weed, he pulls out his old weights in the garage and begins to work out. These are ways the conflict is externalized. 

Sure thing! 

As I said to the other anon, writing your ending first will really help you with this. Also, having a clear goal for your character will make it easier to write your ending. They either achieved their goal or they failed, which is it? How did they change along the way? What did they learn? These are things you want to highlight in the end and will help it seem like all of the loose ends are tied up. 

Having an overarching theme in your story, or symbolism or metaphors to tie back to from the beginning, will help your ending seem put-together and polished. 

Your story should have been a journey for the character and they should have grown from it in some way. Show this in your ending. Maybe you put the character in a similar situation from the beginning of the story but they react differently because they’re changed. 

i.e. –In the movie Hook, the main character, Peter, is a dad addicted to work and his cell phone. He’s constantly ignoring his family and talking on it at the beginning of the story. In the end, he receives a call and his wife looks at him expecting him to answer like he always does. Instead, he throws it out of the window. This small act ties the whole story together and shows the audience that he has grown from his experiences and changed. 

Take time with your ending. If you write it last, make sure to take a break from your piece and come back recharged and refreshed. If you’ve been writing for hours on end and are at that point of ‘I’m tired and I want this done, I’m so close’ it’s going to seem rushed and thrown together. 

I know everyone’s brains work differently when thinking creatively and coming up with a story, but I think the most important part is to figure out the basic plot.

But yeah, it’s a WYSIWYG with a really straight-forward GUI, if I remember correctly.

It even comes with some free backgrounds and characters and stuff, and this is what it looks like:

Did I mention it’s super duper free? It hasn’t been updated since 2010, but it has basically all you’d need to make a simple visual novel.
