Hiii, man j love your characterization of the gang and the art style is SO PEAK
Can we maybe get a look at how the gang would react if nightmare suddenly turned back to passive ? :33
Hello! Oh, of course! This is such an interesting scenario βΊοΈ
Your ask immediately gave me a clear image of the situation, so I ended up drawing it, haha. They really do have such an interesting dynamic with each other.
I have a lot of thoughts about the gangβs behavior and relationships in general, so even if this turns into a bit of a messy ramble, I thought Iβd take the opportunity to talk about a bunch of different things while Iβm at it. Itβll probably focus a lot on their personal histories, since I donβt think Iβve really talked about those much before.
This is probably going to get really long, so Iβll put it under a cut! Feel free to read if youβre interested βΊοΈ
I really like your art, it's so cute and it was kind of cool to scroll through your account and watch the way you improved. I also wonder if you could draw Dream and Nightmare or other characters as humans? Its always interesting to watch how people imagine they would look. And i saw post about brothers as magical girls(boys), i think you should look into Madoka Magica. Dream really has that suffering magical girl vibe
Take care of yourself πΉ
Hello! Thank you so much for your kind wordsβΊοΈ
Itβs definitely an interesting idea, but I donβt have plans to draw them as humans. I really like the fact that they arenβt human, and more than anything, I donβt want the way I imagine them to become fixed into a different form. Once I sit down and design and draw it myself, that image tends to stick quite strongly for a while. That said, I do enjoy looking at other peopleβs designsβlike you mentioned, itβs always fun to see everyoneβs different interpretations and tastes.
Still, I do like the idea that Nightmare used to take care of Dreamβs hair when they were younger. Even now that theyβve grown apart, I imagine Dream would still be a bit clumsy with handling his hair, while Nightmare would be quite skilled at it. Although, I feel like Dream would be the one who cares more about his outward appearance as a guardian, haha.
Oh, of course. I donβt watch a lot of magical girl series, but I have seen that one with a friend who really likes it. Itβs a great work. I also think itβs interesting to associate Dream with itβsince Madoka Magica explores the idea of loving someone who sacrifices themselves for the world so much that you want to stop that sacrifice. But Dream is in a position where heβs both willing to sacrifice himself for the world, and at the same time, someone who loves a person destroying it so much that he wants to stop and reclaim them. Thatβs why I find him such a complex and fascinating character.
When it comes to stories that weigh the world against an individual, it can seem like thereβs an obvious βcorrectβ answer at first glance. But as people, we canβt assign equal value to everyone. Emotions inevitably place more weight on someone. In truth, right and wrong donβt always play the most important role in a personβs choices. No matter what you choose, thereβs always something you end up regretting, and itβs impossible to always make the βrightβ decision. Thatβs why itβs so interesting to see what a character believes is right, and where they place their values. Those choices reflect the life theyβve lived and the values theyβve builtβand thatβs why I enjoy watching them at those crossroads.
Thank you for the ask, and I hope you have a wonderful day!π
Actually, the idea of humanizing them from this ask never really left the back of my mind after all... πππ¦
But the more I started thinking about the settings and designs little by little, the more fun it became, so I eventually ended up drawing them anyway... Itβs very late, but I hope this somehow reaches you, haha.
I know humanization designs arenβt everyoneβs thing, so Iβll put this under a read more cut just in case βΊοΈ
Bad sanses gang doodle!

Got some extra human! Killer and Nightmare to that human family.
hi!! im really enamored with the skeledoggy mtt + nightmare art you made.... may i pls request another drawing of them?
Hello! Of course! I actually struggled with this one for a while, haha. Dogs are surprisingly difficult to draw π
I barely included Cross the first time I drew this IF, so this time I wanted to focus more on him. Though, to be fair, Killer somehow always ends up appearing anyway. π
Nightmare can read their emotions, but because he only reads emotions, I thought there would probably be moments where communication gets a little mismatched. More than anything, dogs naturally crave affection, while Nightmare is very far removed from openly expressing it. He probably just assumed Cross thought the medicine was some kind of treat.
But Nightmareβs tentacles are more honest about his emotions than Nightmare himself is, and sometimes they notice feelings faster than he does. Almost like they instinctively know how they should respond. Since the dogs see Nightmareβs tentacles as just another part of himβbasically like a very oddly shaped tailβI think they would react to them almost the same way they would react to his hands touching them.
Thankfully, a lot of people ended up liking this IF, but when I actually tried drawing it again, I struggled for a while because I couldnβt think of many ideas. The truth is, I live with cats, so I donβt actually know dog behavior very well... Usually, the cutest little pet habits are the kinds of things you naturally notice while living together with them every day.
Even so, I really love this concept too, so I think Iβd still like to draw it from time to time in the future. Even if drawing skeleton dogs is incredibly difficult, the idea of them being dogs at all is just way too adorable to me.
Thank you so much for liking this silly little IF and for coming back to ask about it again! I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope you have a wonderful day! π
This character writing stuff is easy
Catmare?
Hello! Oh, haha, this is really cute π
I think Dream would absolutely want to change the text somehow because he always wants to give Nightmare only nice things. Nightmare probably wouldβve preferred the box before it was changed, though. Of course, itβs not like he can actually read the words anyway, but Dreamβs tastes have never really matched Nightmareβs tastes in the first place.
Still, even if Nightmare dislikes the new box, I donβt think he would destroy it. Heβd probably just avoid it instead. Dream shows affection by giving nice things, while Nightmare shows affection by tolerating things even when he dislikes them. Itβs really cute how the twins can have completely opposite tastes while still caring about each other so much.
Thanks for the ask, and I hope you have a wonderful day! π
Your art is so clean, so good, so NICE!!!!! I adore how you draw cross and nightmare together like u have super amazing art!!
Hello! Oh, thank you so much! I'm really happy you liked them βΊοΈ
I really enjoy drawing Cross and Nightmare together, too! They're such an interesting combination, and I especially love exploring how their relationship changes over time.
Back during the Underverse events, Nightmare was constantly amused by Cross and treated him like a fascinating spectacle to watch. He found it interesting that someone with that much conviction and idealism could still commit terrible acts without hesitation.
Meanwhile, Cross probably would have never wanted anything to do with someone like Nightmare if it hadn't been necessary. Nightmare embodies almost everything Cross dislikes β intense malice, almost childishly casual cruelty, extreme violence, and arrogant authority. Cross himself is actually quite rebellious and explosive by nature.
In the version I usually draw, Cross joins Nightmare of his own accord after everything is over, wandering aimlessly in a half-given-up state. At first, he came to the castle expecting the worst, but maybe because of that, life there didn't feel nearly as bad as he imagined. What began as resigned obedience slowly became genuine loyalty, and now he wants to prove his worth so he can continue staying there.
This version of Cross has watched every choice he's made lead to destruction, so he has very low self-esteem and is afraid of making decisions for himself. Even so, he doesn't want to lose this life, and although he's constantly anxious, he still tries hard to be useful.
Nightmare doesn't particularly dislike him, but he does think he's a little troublesome. Cross is emotionally very sensitive, so to Nightmare, his emotions feel almost like loud background noise. Still, Nightmare doesn't really show it and simply lets him stay. You could probably call that Nightmare's own form of goodwill in response to all the chaos Cross caused. After all, universe-scale disasters like that are pretty rare.
They have a really fun dynamic, and I'd honestly like to draw them more often. I think it's amusing how one of them is constantly overthinking, worrying, and trying desperately to read the situation, while the other ignores all of it while still quietly going easy on him in his own way.
And from other people's perspectives, Cross probably does look a little favored. Nightmare is noticeably less harsh toward him than he is with the others. It's mostly because Cross is so sensitive and hyperaware that Nightmare handles him differently, but to everyone else, it probably looks unfair.
Killer especially likes teasing Cross about being the favorite, though Cross himself would probably never understand why. He still has a hard time figuring out what Nightmare is even thinking most of the time. Reading emotions from someone who's usually expressionless takes a lot of time and effort, after all. Maybe someday he'll figure it out, haha.
Thanks again for the ask! Hope you have a wonderful day π
