The Vampyre's Den

I made a bunch of outfits for all of these little freaks already, but I wanted to have something that both showers their growth and that would be appealing for me to draw, both in me thinking it would fit the character, and in it not being too complicated or detailed.

And for Kris I had a very good candidate for that already. The first style savvy outfit I made for them. Problem was just that I wanted this new version of Kris's outfit to be blue, not green, and I also kinda wanted them to wear pants which finally made me realize that I could just take the Skirt I gave them and turn them into pants 💫

With the pants being very wide and breezy, reminding of a skirt, I also thinks it fits Kris being enby in some way, and now they're wearing a clothing article that is kinda both skirt and pants.

I also wanted their top to look a bit more fancy, so if they don't wear a jacket, they look Piano-Performance ready.

Now it's dark blue with some little bedazzling stoned around the neck.

Their socks are also black and white to remind of Piano keys.

Lastly their hair. I made their eyes fully visible to show their growth more, plus I styled their hair like Susie's to show their closeness, and I, like many, also thought that they'd likely colour their hair at some point.

I didn't wanna go with red though, as this was also a complementary colour to the green, which I got rid of, so I decided that Kris, and all their friends would pay homage to their friendship with died hair.

Next is Susie.

I came up with her design today because I was kinda struggling, since I think her design doesn't have that much to change, and if I added more, it wouldn't meet the criteria I set out for myself anymore, but then I finally realized that the easiest solution to my problem was making her jacket shorter.

Now she doesn't gave to hide herself anymore, as seen by her tail being visible, plus she matches with her friends.

I originally wanted to have her shirt be a darker colour, but then Susie's colour pallet didn't have much room to rest your eye, since every colour was rather dark, so I made it brighter.

I also didn't want her shirt to have too many colours, which is why her Rude Buster are actually just fabric pieces in the same colour sowed onto the shirt. I have a shirt like this myself, but in navy blue, I think Susie would like it.

With her pants I wanted them to look more "cleaned up" for a lack of a better term, so now they're shorter, and don't slouch over her feet and the ground anymore, but they're intentionally folded to prevent it, and aren't short because they don't for her.

Then I like to show patches onto the holes that were previously there, but this time I opted for triangles, instead of stars because stars are my Noelle symbol and triangles are my Susie symbol. The triangles also are green and blue to symbolize who filled the wholes in her world.

Plus Susie is older now, so she needs glasses lol.

I also made their shirt and hair take the place of her long jacket. Her tail may be visible but it's still a bit hidden from everyone. She still has a bit to grow.

Lastly Ralsei

I've decided my lightworld Ralsei is a girl now. I think with trans girl ralsei being very strongly hinted at, it flows into her becomming a lightners all too well, so I'm using it.

Now just physical changes.

Since now even Susie hinted at the gang being close to college age, the way they are now, they're probably close to the height they're gonna be as adults, so I didn't feel the need to change that up too much, but I'll be tweaking it more in the future probably.

In the past I tried to make Ralsei look a bit more grown by extending her horns and make her ears very flowy, and I aimed for a slimmer look, since I got inspired by other Ralsei artists, but now I think something else probably works better for her, and also better for my interpretation of Ralsei in general.

Not very visible in this artwork, but I want this Ralsei to be a bit chubbier as a sign of healing. If this healing trope fits anyone then it's Ms. "Haha, you eat food when you're hungry", which also leads to the next point, namely that I think that I want her ears to be less long and flowy, but puffy and even more fluffy (she reminds me a bit of pinky pie now)

I don't want her horns to grow that much higher either. Toriel has small horns too, and I think it's a good way to distinguish ralsei a bit from Azzy again, and to show that she's a girl. Overall I wanted her horns to still grow a bit towards the back, and I also tried making her a bit taller.

Lastly, her outfit was quite simple, I kinda just looked at the Ralsei outfits I made her, that I like dressing her up in more than once, and combined them.

She also wears a hoodie to match with her friends, and once she takes it off, she's ready for a dance performance.

Wanted to reference this somewhere.

Too much, but you can see the sketch in the form of a wonky photo I’m not retaking :)
