I LOVE krusie and as soon as I saw this scene I had to draw it!!

I made this a few days ago and I just realized I fucked up making Susie only have three fingers 🤕 idk why I had the impression she did. But anyways I hope you enjoy 🩷

It led to a lot of people speculating that Kris does need a SOUL to some level. Maybe the SOUL is Kris’ but we’re a foreign entity that has taken it over, or that Kris’ original actual SOUL has been removed and replaced with us. If Kris needed the SOUL to live, that would explain their slow, deliberate movements and also why they keep putting us back inside despite clearly hating being under our control.

So now, with Chapter 4 giving us a much better glimpse of SOUL-less Kris doing stuff… it’s notable that they seem… fully capable of moving ‘normally’. Angrily, but normally.

Even when they do the whole Creepy Zombie Walk thing they are notably faster than they seemed to be in Chapters 1 + 2

They can do things that require fine motor skills, focus and swiftness like playing the piano, handling glasses, and beating the shit out of us with a hockey stick and it's all animated as smoothly as most other Deltarune Animations. Not really implying effort or stiffness the way that original Creepy Zombie Walk animation did.

And while Susie only gets a brief moment to interact with SOUL-less Kris in the Normal Route

Noelle has prolonged interactions with them in the Weird Route (both on-screen in Chapter 4 and off-screen in-between Chapters 2 and 3) and... while she does note that they sounded 'weak and shaky' and obviously their behavior seems weird on account of the whole 'traumatized by the Unkillable Evil Time-Demon only they can see" thing

... There's nothing to really indicate that there's anything outright unnatural or 'zombie-like' about the way Kris moves and interacts with her while SOUL-less. Since this is the Weird Route, Noelle even note this is the most natural and Kris-like they've acted in the last few days.... until we take over again.

And now we know they can go without the SOUL for a fairly prolonged period of time. The Ominous Phone Voice of Probably Carol does tells them they need the SOUL, it seems unclear why.

So… what that means for SOUL-less Kris’ behavior before? It’s possible that even if Kris can operate without a SOUL, it still hurts like hell. So right after tearing out the SOUL they are in Maximum Pain and it's hard to ignore, causing them to move in a struggling and slow manner. But the more they go without it, they kinda get used to it and the pain fades into the background - allowing them to do stuff more-or-less normally.

(Basically Kris has Chronic Pain but the only Painkiller that works for them is Demonic Possession)

…Or, knowing Kris, maybe this… was all an act. They were only behaving like This because they knew we were watching. It is pretty notable that they walk around normally in the Holidays' Kitchen while we're eavesdropping on them and only swap to the Creepy Walk Animation once they notice us....

They're disappointed and embarrassed Suzie has to see this, but they're not surprised like she is. They don't want to engage in this situation at all.

She's a happy drunk, having a good time, sure. She offers Kris some food, but doesn't engage with them at all. Doesn't check in why they were out so late or on their mental state. There's so many themes of neglect in deltarune that this clearly isn't just a one off event.

Poofy shirts are fun because they’re just a big square that don’t conform at all so you can get pretty loose with the shape, but one thing I try to keep in mind in determining the shape of them is where they DO physically connect to the body.

The three places I pay attention to is the shoulder, the elbow, and the cuff. These are where the tension points are that will inform how the rest of the fabric falls. Think about fabric draping from one tension point to the other.

It’s helpful to look at references to see how different arm positions impact the shape. I'll try to point out the shapes I see in some of my puffy sleeve pics as an example:

Because the shirt doesn't follow the exact shape of the arm cos there's a lot of fabric, bent arms tend to have a Ballooning effect around the tension/crunch points, like this:

And here's another example showing both of those things together:

It's also helpful to think about how the shirt draping interacts with the rest of the body/clothing, such as if it's tucked into pants like below. The pants form another tension point that will carry across how the rest of the shirt falls because again it's just a big unfitted square. In this picture, note how the tension lines from the left shoulder down to the waistline follow through:

Happy Reunion uwu ⬇️Context below on the setting. I had like stuff planned but really I only wanted to draw Daynap cuddling lmao
