#reverse handplates

((Hey guys! @calihunt here! I’m working on a piece inspired by the song “Kagome Kagome”. I was listening to it a while back and thought it fit @zarla-s’ Handplates series. I just had this image of Gaster being tormented by ghostly visions of his experiments and a vision of himself as an experiment. 1-S, 2-P and @robynred’s Subject 3 are him reflecting on what he’s done to them. 1-S is threatening him with his angry gaze for hurting both himself and his brother, 2-P seems to be urging him to be a better person with his pained expression, and Subject 3’s hauntingly blank stare is reminding him of what he took from him to make him the ideal subject (Subject 3 seems hollow to me: he has no voice, font, or personality, which I assume Gaster made him without to avoid the trouble he had with 1-S and 2-P). 0-G is sort of him thinking about what it would be like if he were in his subjects’ place, how horrible it would be for him to be put through the same things he’s put them through. 0-G is starting to go goopy, which is something he only does when he’s scared. This reflects Gaster’s fears own fears about being experimented on. Anyway, I hope to be able to get this finished and posted on here soon!))

Subject 0-G’s sarcastic teenage phase? (Gave him a scarf so I wouldn’t have to draw his ribs and collarbone.)

Sans watched silently as Papyrus talked to the blind skeleton floating in the tank before glancing back down at the data on the tablet. HP: <unknown> Attack: <unknown> Defense: <unknown> Subject 0-G’s information fluctuated too much to get an accurate reading. Sans sighed, he knew 0-G wasn’t going to last long outside of the tank, and leaving him in there felt wrong. “Papyrus.” He finally spoke, “Come with me.” The tall skeleton looked at him, then back at 0-G, “I’ll be right back, I promise!” ‘O-K-A-Y’ 0-G tapped out on the glass. Papyrus smiled and then followed Sans into the other room, “What is it, brother?” “Pap…I don’t think 0-G can survive outside the tank.” Sans said frankly yet delicately, “His HP keeps changing…it’s unpredictable…I’m afraid if we take him out, he might get hurt…or die.” Papyrus’ smile fell a little, “Oh…W-well, maybe he’ll stabilize once he’s outside of the tank!” “The clones I made didn’t even make it out of the tank, Papyrus…I’m certain he’s not too far behind them.” “Clones? I thought those samples you took from his hands were to correct his instability.” “They were at first, but…that proved unsuccessful…” Sans put his hand on his brother’s shoulder, “It’s only a matter of time, Pap…we should think abo-” “Sans, don’t you dare finish that sentence! I’m not going to give up on him! He’s made it this far, what makes you think he can’t pull through?” “Because the data doesn’t support it.” “To heck with your data!” “Papyrus, don’t yell at me.” Sans said seriously, “I’m upset too, but would you rather let him live his life in that tank for all eternity? If we ever got out of the underground, we couldn’t take him with us.” “Sans, you haven’t even given him a chance to live outside the tank!” “Papyrus, please, I don’t want hi-” The argument was interrupted by a loud explosion sound coming from the room with the tank. The brothers looked at each other, then hurried back into the room. The tank was shattered, bits of glass and metal littering the soaked floor. Sitting hunched over where the tank once stood was Subject 0-G. He looked toward them, a hint of purple light shining under the bone on his skull. He reached out for them, wobbling slightly as the light died down. Papyrus rushed over and caught him as Sans looked at the damage. “Alright…” Sans closed his eyes, turning off the tablet, “He’s earned his chance…”

((Sorry for being so inactive on here, work and getting my cosplay ready for SoDak Con has been taking up most of my time. So here's some more 0-G expression drawings.))

Subject 0-G and Core GR1778Y Inked and ready to color!

Entry number 5 Papyrus is growing attached to 0-G; he talks to him whenever he gets the chance and, surprisingly, 0-G responds back. Even though it's mostly one or two words, his responses seem intelligent. 1-G and 2-G, however, are not doing so well. 2-G barely lasted 2 days before dissolving in its tank, and 1-G's soul activity is noticeably less than 0-G's. I'm afraid that 0-G might be heading toward death as well... Papyrus is not going to take this well...

(I’m working on stuff, I promise. Lol)

((A piece of the whole picture for you guys until I can get it scanned and uploaded. What do you think?))
