How long have your OCs and the idea of this AU been with you?
To be honest, this is a very interesting question.
Speaking of OCs, I'm usually not a fan of creating original characters (whether it's based on a fandom or a completely orig characters), and if I do, then depending on my attachment to them, I can develop them within this fandom, and if it doesn't work out, I make them original and they cease to be characters based on fandom.
Speaking of the Unikitty fandom, that's exactly what I had. However....I had two "serious" fanchilds for Unikitty – Charlie and Jay, which were created by the crack ships Unibee and Hawkofrown. But I didn't get anything with an adequate plot, and therefore I decided to abandon them, restarting for one joint AU with another artist (at the moment this artist is not active for family reasons, but I warned you).
Their old design (now they look different and are the children of other couples):
Damn, how embarrassing it is to share my ancient babies.
Like those of my old OCs on this fandom (which now COMPLETELY belong to my original Universe), those two fankids were created in 2019 and, frankly, I feel like a cringe.
So technically, I have a bunch of AU (almost no one knows many of them), but I couldn't create AU with fanchilds for a long time.
And I later became less active in the Unikitty fandom because of other fandoms, but if it wasn't for one of them, I would then stop being more active in the Unikitty fandom in terms of content (because I will never leave it!). That's how I got my very first (as I remember) and my most thoughtful Frock fanchild in November 2020 – Jacob.
His first design:
It's cringy agan
Previously, his full name was Jacob Alan Frown, he wore one of Papa Brock's sweaters, and also at that time he did not have the current age, so I used to draw him at different ages, as if he had not changed at all from the word for many years.
It's terrible how skinny Alan is on the first art. And yes, the second and third pictures are parts of an old AU idea related to the intervention of Master Doom to Jacob, which I now hate because of unreasonable selfharm, and Jacob at that time was not fully registered as a person, not to mention other fanchilds
Well, by the summer-autumn of 2021, I redesigned Jacob, giving him a specific age and by that time inventing a design for Princess Cornelia (Unibee fanchild) and Leroy (Eaglecreeper fanchild, whom I subsequently redesigned together with his sis). And now you know Jacob with this particular design, not that Spanish shame.
The new design is much better than the old one, isn't it?)
But in addition to Jacob and other children, there will also be oniginal characters, among which will be Dr. Bunny (she will differ in appearance from the original), her sister Bonnibel, her own versions of the parents of other characters, other Frowntown children and many others.
And yes, I don't remember exactly when I came up with the idea to create an AU with Jacob and other children, but I think I created the beginning of his plot almost immediately with Jacob (and I then told this epic and humorous story to my friend and he liked it) and then I I started actively sawing content on it, which I do not regret exactly as about character redesigns or changes in the plot.
And also initially my AU might not exist in the Lego version (if you want to know why, ask questions, maybe I'll answer this question somehow)^^
Thank you very much for the question, it was not easy to answer it, because I was afraid of losing the context, but I hope you understood me) I'm waiting for more questions! See you soon!

“Your brother is adorable.” The cashier cooed at Danny, peering over the counter with a smile. “What’s his name?”
Danny looked down to the surly, scowling little de-aged Batman currently holding onto his hand, glaring up at the cashier with bright blue eyes.
Things had already been bad enough when he’d gotten caught in a fight in Gotham, but things went from bad to worse when a magician had hit Batman with a de-aging spell and then shoved them through a portal.
Into a different fucking dimension.
Because of course neither of their lives could be easy. And now the two of them were stuck in Iowa in the middle of nowhere, at a truck stop gas station, trying to go on a cross-country roadtrip to reach the nearest hero city and get home.
He looked up and smiled awkwardly, trying to come up with a name off the top of his head — one of the heroes called Batman ‘B’ when he got hit right? B for Batman, right. B… B… Bee… Bees.
“Buzz.” He said, and tried not to grimace as the cashier’s face warped with surprise. “Like the astronaut.”
This was gonna be a long trip.

Do/for you have to make references for any other characters in Handplates? Like the mouse or pterofractal? The same goes for the characters that have canon designs in Undertale. Did you ever need a ref for them?
Honestly I like never make reference sheets until something forces me, haha. With the mouse I just go back to the first comic he appeared in and just ref off of those. I might have mentioned this before, I forget, but originally that mouse was supposed to be the mole in the MTT comedy club but then I looked up their speech pattern and it didn't fit, so instead I made them a Rathbone cameo from The Lost Mind of Dr. Brain. :B
I had to improvise his lower body so I just gave him big wading pants lol.
As for Pterofractal, Jaz gave me this!
I do have a folder for canon refs, mostly screenshots I've taken to get colors and layouts for certain areas in the Underground, haha. And some sprite sheets if I need them.
Nothing really official or purposeful though, just screencaps and snips from other files I end up reusing.
