Intermission for cowboys

If you want the lore I will yap about them forever

[sabianandocs]

This is the only thing I've been able to draw in days

Also I drew it in a dark room so I apologize for the absolute mess of the sketch

[sabianandocs]

Throwing a bunch of random old doodles at you because unfortunately Real Life has gotten very In The Way recently and I haven't been able to draw

[sabianandocs]

Been Papyrus deprived with the whole 'Papyrus dies neutral route' stuff so here's the guy ever

[sabianandocs]

I made this as a color reference for the skelebros months ago and never posted it .. so here you go while you wait on other stuff from me! Lol

[sabianandocs]

Ok because my work flow is completely all over the place with this loose series of neutral route comics I have another poll for you all

I have one finished strip, but it takes place after the ones you've seen- with at least 5 pages in between the ones you have and it. But it's after a time skip & not directly tied in so the other comics are not necessary to enjoy it. (it doesn't even allude to them)

So, basically, I have 5ish sketched pages for the continuation of the neutral route comics with Sans & Grillby, which are probably gonna take a hot minute to finish

And one completed comic set after those but not really tied in directly, just in the same timeline and assumed to happen sequentially after the Sans & Grillby comics

The comics in question, if you're unaware:

Part 1

Part 2

Sometimes when you're Going Through It (TM) it helps to pretend your comfort character is hanging out with you

[sabianandocs]

I do not apologize for the hoard of pings you have received :3

BUT DUDE THE ART

Holy sHIT

The lil tail for grillby

And.

And Mettaton and Papyrus sjdbejajbs AAAAAA

Hahah glad to see another join the circus that is my blog!

I'm glad you're enjoying your stay :) I hope you stick around!

More Mettaton & Papyrus for you since I've been neglecting them:

[sabianandocs]

Teensy bit of cutesy Alphyne before I go back to sad neutral route stuff

[sabianandocs]

Did anyone else think Mettaton was like. Waist or shoulder height. I dunno why I thought he was box TV sized but I looked at his sprite and realized he's literally taller than Papyrus

[sabianandocs]

Tiny Undyne from a neutral route comic I'm working on

[sabianandocs]

I am once again asking for your input

[sabianandocs]

You guys want to see my Undertale OC?

No?

Too bad

[sabianandocs]

Undyne special for y'all

[sabianandocs]

so i was thinking and it would be super cool if you drew some of the Deltarune characters (specifically rouxls kaard, queen, and Kris) or just your favorite Deltarune characters in your art style, i know you mostly draw Undertale so if you aren't comfortable drawing Deltarune characters no pressure, thank you :3

-ace

This took so long to respond to because I absolutely cannot get Rouxls right and I refuse to respond to this ask without including him.

I'm really happy with how Queen turned out though- this is literally the first time I ever drew her and like. Yeah that's about right.

And here's Kris- Probably will mess with/tweak the design some if I draw them again

I'll be so honest right now I think Susie is my favorite. Dunno what it is about her its just like. Yeah. She's fun and I Iove her and I aspire to be a feral unhinged beastie just like her when I grow up (I say as a grown adult person)

Here's Rouxls!!! He is so silly I love him a lot too and I love that he's basically Lancers twink second dad

[sabianandocs]

question! Do you do ship requests? Theres this one Grillby ship i've been fixated on lately for some reason (aside from Sansby, Sansby has my #1..) and I can't really find much on it? I don't even know the name for some reason.. I also wanna see it in your style.

The ship is currently Asgore x Grillby for some reason.. but if not, then can I humbly request a Grillby doodle for the road?

-Grillby loving anon I am CARRYING this title with pride.. and i'm sorry if this seems weird or anything

I've never heard of this one before!

Interesting rarepair!

I don't know that I've ever heard this one before, or how one would integrate it into a natural context*, but here's my take of how them meeting might go? Maybe Grillby needs some extra funding for his small business and went to the king for a bit of help. Asgore appreciates local cultures, it would be a shame to see a small business go under.

I also thought, maybe since Asgore visits Snowdin to do lessons at the school and participate in holidays maybe Asgore would stop in to Grillby's for food... Man, now you've got me thinking up scenarios!! I might have to do more. We'll see!

I hope you like these little doogles!

(I did really nice anatomy for Asgore and then immediately had to cover it up with his cloak TwT)

*I say, as my brain immediately extrapolates how one would integrate it into existing context. Lmao

[sabianandocs]

Do you have any interpretation about grillby or is he just a regular guy

Two for one!

I think he's just a regular guy, probably. Somebody has to be!

I've seen & appreciate headcanons that make him like, a war veteran from the Human/Monster war, but I personally prefer just letting him hang out. lol.

In contexts where he's being shipped with Sans, it makes the most sense to me for them to both be in their 30s/40s, and headcanons that have Grillby as a veteran would make him... at least a hundred? Probably more? Which would make it weird to ship him with Sans since the age gap would be so large (If we're going off the idea that Sans was 'created' in the Underground, by Gaster, at some point after the Core was created or in the process of being created.) (Same reason I don't super ship Soriel; she's just so much older than him (in my hc). Can totally see where people get it from though.). All these ideas obviously kind of rely heavily on other headcanons, so none of this is to say any other ideas are bad or wrong! Just how things look in my interpretation of the information I have and how I've extrapolated it.

But yeah my Grillby interpretation is that he was born in the Underground, grew up in Hotland (Established in the 2023 Spring newsletter!) and then moved to Snowdin to start his business- probably because Hotland & the capital were already pretty well-established in terms of food places/bars and Snowdin was not- when he was in his early 20s.

He's just doing his best to keep his bar running and live a humble life. All he really wants or needs is nice food, nice drinks, good company, maybe a good book. I'll have to do more thinking on hobbies and such for him, but I do think he probably enjoys watching House MD specifically because of this ask I got the other day. Maybe some old discs or VHS tape recordings of the show ended up in the junkyard and made their way to him somehow (I have my own idea for a shop that I've inserted into my Undertale stuff (in my head, has not made it into any art or anything yet) that gathers things from the dump and sells them in Snowdin).

I can see and understand interpretations that make him a dad (specifically to Fuku Fire), but my own personal biases kind of incline me to say he's just on his own. Partly because, come on, just cuz they're both made of fire doesn't mean they're related, they aren't even the same kind of flame- And they live in far separate ends of the Underground- But I digress.

I think he's just sort of hanging out by himself enjoying the simple comforts and pleasures of life.

Here's some baby Grillby and additional bits of lore!

(Transcript, because my handwriting isn't great:

Baby Grillby

Sometimes would be a little lion (favorite animal as a kid)

Eats combustibles as well as 'regular' food Paper for a quick boost (like an energy drink) Wood for a more filling meal

It is normal for elementals to experiment with their shape/form as kids/teens! Some elementals decide to stay in animal-style forms their whole lives, some stay humanoid, & some go back and forth. Grillby stays humanoid most of the time but might change form if he really wants to.)
