Glamton, or "Spamton as a Magical Girl". This was a really dumb concept that I was very excited about, and used as a concept for a cosplay! The concept was traditional art done with marker and colored pencil and a little bit of gel pen on A4 sketchbook paper. And you can't quiiite see it in this photo, but my favorite little detail is I made earrings that were the "pipis", done out of clay and swarovski crystal. The chest light is hidden underneath Superman style and actually glows! So does my skirt! I also was excited for "buttwings" like everyone's Deviantart anime OC back in the 2000s, but my sewing machine broke in the middle of making them so I had to scrap them and start over last minute. They also got hooked on everyone's bags and purses, and kinda were a pain. If I pull this cosplay out again, I'll probably do them over. Also I do not know who the Noelle and Kris were, but I was very excited to see other Deltarune cosplays at the con!

So I posted this one about a year ago, but hid the gif under a readmore for an epilepsy warning. Because of that, it was never seen even though I was super proud of it. So happy Deltarune Yesterday!

Accidentally posted this on my main, whoops!

Happy Deltarune Yesterday!! In celebration of that, have this unfinished comic project I did a year ago and probably won't continue. The entire point of the comic was something to do with Kris/The Player trying to play the piano/force Kris to play the piano and Noelle in the other room realizing that Something's Wrong since Kris can't play. I never fully scripted it out because we comic on just vibes over here bby I was gonna make a glitchy style gif on the last two images, but you get the two separate panels instead. Enjoy!!

To celebrate Deltarune Yesterday, have some of the weird Deltarune stuff I haven't posted and have had sitting in my folder forever. So I cosplayed a glam version of Spamton (You'll see photos soon, I promise) and was practicing with different concepts of the Undertale characters but Glam Makeup. I am particularly in love with Kris's but I think it's obvious by now that Kris is my fav Anyways this is really silly but I used to do theatre makeup and find a lot of joy in drawing makeup/doing makeup.

3/9 Tried to make Emmet look a little rougher-- hair messed up, shirt untucked and wrinkled, collar uneven to represent long nights poured over this board. His arm's super weird but this took far too much time already with all the individual drawings and notes.

I think it's interesting because there are the Submas/ Legends: Arceus fans who aren't as aware of Sun and Moon's plot, and those who are. And it's very clear which one is which because in one camp is the "Emmet's gonna fight God!" and blaming Arceus/Giratina for Ingo's disappearance, while on the other hand there's more talk of wormholes, the similiarities between Ingo and Anabel, and if someone will be eebie jeebied next game, etc. Both theories are fun, and there aren't specific answers given, but I lean towards Ultra Wormholes myself and Ingo being a Faller (But who's to say that Giratina wasn't involved somehow? Ever consider that distortion world may have similarities to Ultra Space? Maybe Giratina carved out a little pocket in Ultra Space to make the distortion world?) But I digress.

Ghost of a King, verse 2 2/9 Gonna try to aim to get one done a week! My original idea was to have Emmet step on the photo, and then pull his foot away to reveal the full photo, but that would require using more than one panel to tell a single part of a story. These are more big pictures making a cohesive storyline, instead of being a small comic. If it was fully animated, I would DEFINITELY have that happen. Also internal debates as I drew this: -Is the photo too big? Answer: Yes, but we want to see the subjects clearly -Should the photo be black/white or sepia toned? Answer: Mmmaybe. I know in game you can do the photos in color, and I didn't want to lose any details/interrupt the color scheme that I've already established. I did "age" the photo using a yellow wash (which was kinda lost in the flashlight beam) and add aging where the photo was folded or torn to try to have it read as "Old" though. -What even is perspective Answer: Idk man I readjusted Emmet's legs like 5 times to make everything read clearly. I might still adjust the size/angle of the photo so it makes more sense with how Emmet is standing. (I sorta finished the photo first before I finalized Emmet's pose. That's on me)

So I thought I was done. But then I was re-listening to the song when driving to work and inspiration hit me like a ton of bricks for the next verse. And I just slammed my head on the steering wheel going brain... No why... Let's see if this verse takes me another six months to finish.

Reblogging because I missed a panel in my initial upload!! orz

EDIT: I was missing a panel!! Orz Now the whole thing is there It's done!! GOOD HEAVENS this was an undertaking with a bunch of going back and editing drawings to be more cohesive!! But I am so glad to finally have it done, for Pokemon day! This all was inspired by a few AUs I've seen by people such as @waywardstation and @parasolladyansy , as well as an AU RP I did with a friend where humans who were Deeply Wronged became the wrathful Hisuian Zoroark (With her Akari nearly becoming one herself) I totally have more drawings I thought of for the whole song, ("But the voice of the ghost was coming from a ghost no more" being Emmet, having a side by side with Emmet going on a journey looking for Ingo and comparing his journey to Akari's) but it was already like, 14 drawings and I wanted to tell a cohesive story without burning out instead;; Happy Pokemon Day!!

Flashback to the one time I was commissioned to draw old Nintendo/Sega characters as Bara, grizzled old men. These still make me laugh

Found this sketch in my sketchbook from 2020 and my god I love it still. We were all going through things back then lmao Marshal was one of my first villagers in New Horizons, and Kidd quickly became a favorite too. I'd come up with stories in my head of the shenanigans they got up to together (They always were hanging out)

11 out of 12 (finished on 11/12 would you look at that) Remember how I said these keep getting more and more complicated? Yeah this happens every time I work on a long-term project. I went through a couple of iterations of the same idea-- I wanted to reference the Dialga and Palkia fight but focus on Volo and Giratina as the far more prominent story figure at the Spear Pillars. A lot of pushing and pulling the colors for this one- it's tricky to have so many similar values in the same place with a busy background and still have them stand out I THINK I succeeded after a heckin lot of tweaking. Might still make a couple of edits before I post the full thing.

9/12 done. And each one I keep thinking is my favorite until I make the next one.

I listened to this song the entire time I drew this to make sure the vibes are just right:

[dastardlyromanticart]

Still plucking away at this (just have uhh had a whole overseas trip I've been preparing for/going on between these drawings)

Always love images of Emmet being haunted, but have you considered Ingo being just as haunted by things he can't quite remember?

[dastardlyromanticart]

I needed a warmup sketch and only just discovered the snapcube dub a few days ago. And this lives rent free in my head. I have never done Sonic fanart and will probably never do Sonic fanart again but enjoy : D

[dastardlyromanticart]

Plz help I keep making these panels more and more detailed Still working on them, I have 6? ish? done? But I wanted to share my favorites before I put them all together in context of each other. Ultimately it started as "This song reminds me of Ingo in P:LA!" to being more Akari focused, whoops!

[dastardlyromanticart]

Still working on that lyric thing, but I did that thing where I accidentally put too much effort into one of the panels, so now I gotta go back and make the others match the style and quality of this one... Anyways, in the meanwhile I'm so proud of this one I decided to post it as a stand-alone image! Enjoy!
