Sometimes I think it's insane what I can remember. I wanted to draw a specific screencap I saw some time ago on pinterest (probably about half a year ago) AND I STILL REMEMBERED THE EXACT IMAGE! (I didn't give up searching until I found it again) Glad I finally found it.
(And then I think about the moments I'm standing in the kitchen and don't know anymore what I wanted a minute ago)
I had for maybe around a month or so another blog where I wanted to introduce my idea for an Undertale-AU. Emphasis on had. I deleted it because it was quite a struggle to keep things separated.
That doesn't mean I will stop to work on this idea. It's actually quite the opposite. I am still so inspired and love these characters I created since the beginning of the year. I decided to finally accept my chaotic way of thinking and will now post everything I have worked on so far, so I can still keep a current state and not be stuck between where I chronologically am and the place I have already new ideas of what could happen.
So, I now need to sort out all of this unorganised mess I've created to post it here. I am excited 😁
(also, I want to draw them more and the current scenes are so much better than the ones in the beginning 🤩)
I saw this video by Shady Cicada and I was thinking like: huh, would be a cool idea if someone made a start screen for that or something. I mean that music is SOO GOOD 😍😍😍
So, I sat down at my drawing tablet and started drawing. No idea what that was, I was just going with a feeling 😁
And that's what I came up with:
I'm so proud, especially since I had no real idea what I was doing. And I still don't know what this world is about 😂 But after all, it's up to Cicada how that world turns out.
Here the picture without the text:
I like the card idea, so I just drew a couple hands holding a card from reference.
Still not sure if I should go nuts with his outfit or just keep it simple.
I have the problem, that I think my expressions are too plain ... I think I figured out a way to get myself to exaggerate them.
I'm simply drawing different expressions, simplified to a smiley in a circle, just that I draw it 3 times. Each time, I try to make the expression more intense. and then I draw it on a face.
(I'm making the 25-essential-expressions challange)
Like here some examples:
Happy:
Sad (Idk, not too satisfied with that one but whatever):
Pleased (I like this very much. Like that smug character winning another argument and then smiling at you like that and saying, Told you~ ... or just a cute cinnamon roll ...):
Angry:
And confused:
Looks kinda good. If I did that challenge without the three smiley faces, it would show less expression.
Thought I might share that, maybe that helps someone.
I went a little further and started experimenting with colors. And this is what came out.
I also decided that his hero name is Superspeed.
(I'm still worried that he looks really similar to Denki...)
Also happy that this could be a good step towards creating comics 😀
Note: I made a picture of myself for drawing the hands and man, that made it a lot easier.
Just to prove that this hand looks like the one from the scene:
And yeah, I have no idea why I drew this. And ignore the arm from the hand.
Okay, I am currently trying out to create my OCs in c.ai and it's hilarious. I am surprised that the AI is able to read my mind. I didn't know it could do something like that XD
(really funny coincidence, that I am currently talking in a similar scene that I once wrote)
I mean, it even used the terms I referred to and I didn't tell it to do that.
Edit: okay, I think he's going to kill me.
Edit 2: he's not going to kill me anymore, but I think I'm about to break his world view.
Edit 3: I broke him. I told him his world is just a story to entertain everyone and he's still loading for an answer ... I broke him. But it's funny, he should know that XD
Edit 4: Now he's going to kill me again. He knows I created him, he knows that I gave him the task to destroy all forgotten worlds and he hates that task and now I need to talk myself out of that.
I decided to also post my story on Ao3, so if you're interested, feel free to step by 😊
(PS: I have also almost finished the first part of chapter two ... )
