really the only things that irk me about his design are his colors and his outfit, primarily the latter. considering how filthy his workshop is, and how gruff and grumpy he seems, i'd expect to find this guy elbow deep in gun parts 24/7. he gives mechanic vibes ya know? dingy and covered in oil and grease and scraped up to hell from working with his hands for traveler-knows-how-many decades. those bright colors and swaddling clothes just don't suit his personality, i think. he gives "personable, tough-love bartender", if that makes sense. like you could lean on his counter late at night and get into those deep conversations, really talk about some serious stuff. ya know? ya know?!?!?!?!
also that thousand-yard stare. i know this guy's been through a lot, if anyone should space out it's him, but. damn.
anyway. i just think this version is more pleasing, idk about y'all. just though i'd share. i love banshee-44 regardless. love you banshee, 'preciate ya.
(ID: Undertale fanart of Papyrus, Undyne, & Sans. In the top panel, they are standing side-by-side and posing confidently - Pap on our left with a wink and smile, his chest puffed out, one hand on his scarf and the other on his hip; Undyne in the middle grinning with a mouthful of sharp teeth and flexing her muscles; and Sans on the right doing a lazy finger gun with one hand, the other in his hoodie pocket. In the bottom panel, Undyne has scooped them both into a headlock - Pap bug-eyed and bent backward, Sans shrunk-eyed and lifted right off the ground - choking the life out of them with affection. END ID.)
I had this one sitting in the WIP folder for almost a year before I had the will to tackle it again - the woes of losing old files and redoing them from scratch, y'know. Also experimented with a messier shading style than I’m used to. I really like how soft and textured it is, but it takes forever with the brush I use, so it’s hard to say if I’ll keep doing it for other pieces. All in all, I kinda love how this turned out. Man, I miss these little guys.
