long time no post!! holidays have been crazy yo. i’m glad to have my artistic inspiration back on track. anyways, asriel is special because he actually showed up in the comic first before getting his ref, but eh, this just helped me finalize him. the hardest part was determining the color of his soul and therefore his magic; ended up going with a yellow green, kind of symbolic of flowey!

alternate outfits coming soon!

god lord undyne’s armor! also best thought as i was drawing her lara croft royal guard member outfit: i could only think of her and azzy training together and chara watching in the bg jealous as hell because their brother gets to hang out with the hot buff fish lady lolololol

sans’ ref was a doozy because of those feet. i was DETERMINED not to have him be a human skeleton- he’s a monster after all! in game, his hands and feet are ambiguous anyway, i figured why not? so his legs and feet are based on a dog’s, since that’s also what gaster blasters are based on.. he’s not a furry i swear

edit: changed the way i draw his face, so i updated his ref to reflect it.

see his alternate outfits here!

meet all eight of these goobers!! i love each and every one of them, tho frisk’s design is a personal fav of mine. and nope, chara and frisk traits are not determination! they’re not the same thing either. as each kid gets his/her/their name/trait revealed, i will unblock it out in this ref. please be patient!

special note: chara and frisk are non-binary (they/them/theirs), and perseverance is a transboy (he/him/his)!

toriel’s outfits, sorted into chronological order. she’s only got two outfits between all four arcs. i drew her in a similar dress a long time ago when i first started painting in sai for her queen outfit.
