Something I heard since I was a young teenager was stuff like “I wish I could draw as well as you” then immediately dismissed when asked how I learned and my answer was “practice.”
Talent is bullshit, you still have to put hard work into it. And today everyone as access to so many amazing sources, kid me is so jealous.
I saved up money for ages for Photoshop 6.0 in 2000, my first scanner did about 300 DPI, and I didn’t get my first drawing tablet until I was 18. I still greatly struggle with figures and anatomy and often ask for critique from close friends. I don’t think I’m an amazingly great artist but I am happy with what I produce.
I’ve seen 13 year olds pump out art that I couldn’t have done til I was 20. And holy shit that is awesome.
More resources are available now than ever. You just have to be willing to TRY.
In the Underswap AU idea I had, the main thing was to switch around roles and jobs, but everyone retains their same personality. The circumstances however, would sometimes be vastly different.
Toriel had gone through a war, lost her home, and now lost her son. Not only that, she found out it was her other adopted son that ended up getting Asriel killed. She felt so utterly betrayed and disgusted, she couldn’t handle it anymore.
When she tells Asgore that she wanted to wipe out humanity, Asgore is visibly shaken. With the war, he was familier what that could do to someone. He’d seen those eyes before. He was fine if he was the one suffering, but he couldn’t bear seeing Toriel like this.
He breaks his trident smashing his “fight” button, embedding the bottom in the throne room. Not only did he refuse to fight Toriel about this, he permanently made it so he could never fight again. He flees, Toriel screaming that he was a miserable coward.
Toriel gives Gastor permission to do whatever it takes to acquire the souls.
Gastor’s power is accessing save data. He had a humanoid test dummy(used to test anti-human weapons) that a certain not-very-good-for-conversation ghost decided to haunt. With many tests, he found he could load any save file he wanted into the dummy, and the dummy would be a mirror of the human (LVL/EXP/Items) If Frisk makes it to the hallway he’d test them by loading thier own save into the dummy. Anything other that LVL 1 initiates a fight, difficulty based on level. If you were a genocide route, he’d tell you he’d seen the same darkness humans before and loads a level 20 file in instead.
Gastor uses the same dummy/robot to train Sans, the Royal Guard captain. Sans only knows the 7th child will be someone capable of horrid things (as Gastor proves with some of the files he can load) so this Sans is a tad more–
paranoid. Damn flower isn’t helping his case either. He can’t turn off his eye anymore because of the paranoia, thus needing the eye patch.
While Toriel Dreemurr is more closed off as queen, Asgore keeps the ruin’s door open. He can’t cook very well so he expanded his garden outside, so while there’s snow everywhere it looks more like spring by the door. Papyrus, a sentry, sees him eventually and they become friends. He calls him Mr.Claus (Yeah. he still thinks that. Oops) and learning of Asgore’s cooking issue, he asks the royal cook/mage Undyne (Tune in Undyne the Dining, a very popular TV show) to teach him how to cook.
Asgore personally asks Papyrus to help Frisk reach the castle. He knows what Toriel will probably do, but hopes these two can change things. Hope was something he could cling to after all these years.
Papyrus would end up being like a party member because subtlety isn’t something he quite understands, and wouldn’t just kinda follow behind. He’d be a tad more proactive.
Though here that would be a great idea.
Also Mettaton is the only ghost without a robot body in this AU. They hired extra help on the snail farm, and Snailpants still whines he never made it big in the city.
Metta’s music video about how terrible Snailpants is at his job went viral.
((We had multiple questions wanted us to expand a bit on that Underswap AU. The entry was a one shot sort of deal, but its based on a AU I had tossed around for a few weeks or so. Here’s the basic gist of the plot line for those of you who were curious!))
That’s the beauty of AUs, more than one can exist.
I mean swapping their role in the story isn’t a new concept, its most of the AUs I’ve seen besides theme variation. Or both.
The Jumbletale AU idea itself was something I had been kicking around since before Halloween. Changed quite a bit but some ideas I thought were neat to explore so I expanded it since.
and it’s not the only idea I’ve toyed with:
so yeah, nothing is stopping you from making your own.
Came across a pair of inspectors and their pet chicken AFK in Ul’dah~ These two are probably some of my favorite cosplayers?? I’m always happy seeing them out and about~~
Should see us when we act IC in duty finder, lmao
We afked working on art stuff and I swear every 10 minutes I hear /cheer, /clap/ or most often /hildy
Trying to pace myself and get re accustomed to drawing scenes again. Still in a bad case of not being able to translate what I want very well but I can tell I feel a bit less awkward. I don’t draw seriously for awhile I get super anxious and everything looks stiff and bad to me.
I really like how this expression came out though.
So lately, I obtained RPG Maker MV, and I’ve been spending a lot of time on it. A few years back I tried my hand first with RPG maker 2000, (Yes, that many years back ;-;) and now I’ve decided to give it another shot.
I’m curently looking for a few people to give it a try and tell me their opinions, whether they be bugs, or comments or suggestions, or whatever. I plan on updating the game every week or so, and adding more to it as I go along while fixing bugs that testers might have found from the previous version.
Long story short, putting my fantasy
role-playing video game on display for showcasing, and hoping a few bored people can give it a try. I’ve got a number of cameos of friends and others in it, so you might even recognize someone you know. (I use the term loosely, as it’s not their character, just an adaptation of their character(s))
