"Hey, Gaster! Try really smiling!" Sans chuckled at Gaster's crooked, big smile. "I thought ya said you wanted to be less creepy."
"This is... My real smile," Gaster gritted through his teeth while looking at the monster with the camera. The poor guy was trembling. "Sorry... Did not mean... To scare you."
"Nah, nah... It's okay." The photographer squeaked out. "A-Are you ready?"
"Yes..." Papyrus said before glancing to the side. "... You two... Stop goofing off."
"Eh? Wha cha mean?" Sans looked to his brother. "It's Gaster who is being creepy."
"You know... Gaster has floppy ears above your head, right?"
"Seriously?" Sans then chuckled. "Myah ha ha! Perfect! Why didn't I think of that?"
"Say nice cream..."
"Gaster, Sans, this is suppose to be-" All three got a blinding flash as the picture was taken. "-a formal picture to celebrate our new titles as doctors." Papyrus deadpanned while shooting the photographer a glare.
"What's the point of being formal when we been doing this gig since babybones?" Sans snickered. "We aren't even adults, so loosen up some."
"Papy is... stuffy." Gaster hummed with a devious smirk.
"I am not!" The photographer fled the room out of fear of the trio starting a fight.
It wasn't everyday one got to take a picture of one of the Underground's horror stories after all... The CORE's spector was well know to haunt the power plant's halls with his two skeletons.
--------------------
Decided to sketch my Gaster when the Skeleton Bros and he were seperate beings. A little background for the youngsters...
Dr. W.D. Gaster wasn't always one being. They remembered the days they were stuck in their gray prison, experiments that were hidden under the title of "lab assistants."... Or, as they like to call it, the "Haunting Medics" since they were the ones tending to those injuried(or worse) from experiments and accidents.
Gaster, the young human, may have been wheelchair bound... But he never let it stop him even if at best he could move his hands and feet as the rest of his reattached limbs didn't respond. A good kid with an unique talent of always being creepy. His green magic and medical treatments, however, was always welcomed by their fellow co-workers as he was very good at making pain "disappear." A selective mute, he usually only speaks when around his best friends and communicates mostly through sign language or Wingding font based "speech balloons."
Sans, the short skeleton twin, was the mood bringer and always the positive of the trio... Even if he is just as close to being crippled as Gaster. Even though both brothers' survived the "Brittle Plague" that devastated the skeleton population, Sans' body is still brittle and his stats dangerous low. Yet, the little skeleton never lets his limitations stop him from dreaming big... Or declaring a prank war through the wing with his fellow mischief maker, Gaster. Though fragile, he has very strong magic and can even use blue magic on things without a soul. A very useful thing as Sans uses this to help Gaster navigate through the CORE after the steam vent incident.
Papyrus, the tall skeleton twin, is the "mature" one of the trio, even though being the youngest. He is constantly making sure his brother and best friend don't end up dead due to their mischievous ways. He is also the "negative" one and often brings reality to his brother's sky high expectations. He had the upper corners of this mouth eaten away by the Brittle Plague, so had two metal fangs put in place thinking it would be cool... Sadly, he finds them now annoying as people think he his scary and angry all the time due to them. He is a bit slow and lethargic,but has developed quick reflexes and instincts when it comes to accidents and such due to constantly watching out for his brother and best friend.
This sketch was hard as haven't done someone sitting in a long time... And I made it harder with said chair being a wheelchair. Oh, well, it was fun, nonetheless, and good practice as still finding out the best way to use my brush pens... Though, probably help if I used proper paper instead of the cheap sketchbook, but I needed to get back into it and didn't want to waste paper in my high weight sketchbooks with just getting back into drawing and making art.
