Dreamtale Neues Rough Drafts

Lineart For the Seamstress Overlord

I had fun drawing this one, but had some trouble drawing the eyes.

I took some inspiration from “Downtown Abbey” when designing the clothes.

Gonna say more about her when I post the finished version.

Possible More AU Variants of Neue

I’m experiencing low motivation for drawing, but I’m still working on the clothing rough drafts.

However, I am gonna be adding more AU Variants of Neue. These variants won’t have a big impact on the story or none at all (at least for now), but I think they’ll be fun to draw.

Now a few of these AUs will be my own version/redesign, not because I don’t like the original concept, this is just my own spin on them.

Dancetale

-IDK what type of dance this Neue will have, since Toriel is Waltz & Sans is Hip-Hop.

-I could see him being one of these options:

•A combination of both

•Waltz or Hip-Hop, or some variation of them

•Something entirely unrelated to both

Birdtale

-While the original just has the characters have wings on their backs (& I’ve seen some with talon/clawed feet), I’m gonna up the “bird” characteristics a bit more.

-The arms will be replaced with wings & the lower parts of the legs will look like talons.

-The nose/top part of the mouth will vaguely look similar to a beak.

-They’ll be based off a species of birds or a combination of 2-3 birds.

•For this version of Neue, he’ll be based off the Himalayan Griffon & the Collared Scops-Owl.

Reapertale

-This version of Neue would be the “child” of Life & Death. IDK what the correct terminology would be for this, but they would “rule” represent the realm between life & death.

-Their name is Purgatory, which might change if I can find a more accurate name for this, & they would play an interesting rule for this AU.

•They would decide if a soul deserves a second at life or if they must pass on into the afterlife.

•This would mainly affect individuals who are in a comatose state, or if they died “too early”.

Oceantale

-While the original was based more on mythical creatures (with the exception of a few), I’m gonna based this Neue’s design off real life sea creatures.

-They could either be based off a singular sea creature, or a combination of 2-3 species.

•For this version of Neue, they’ll be based off the Leafy Seadragon, Lion’s Mane Jellyfish & the Whale Shark.

Angeltale

-The original was similar to appearance of Birdtale, with the characters just having wings on their backs. So I’m gonna change them to look similar to nightmare fuel that is the “biblical accurate angels”.

-They would have 2 forms:

•Their true form which would be the equivalent of “biblically accurate angels”.

•The “Be-Not-Afraid” form which would give them a more “normal” appearance similar to their Undertale counterpart with some angel-like features.

Deltarune

-You know I had to include this for funsies.

-In this AU, Neue would be the son of Sans & an unnamed individual, so his personality would be different.

-His name would be Neuton, & IDK what RPG class he would have yet in the Dark World.

Blank Template

-Now this would be an original AU (unless there’s an AU like this so please tell me if that’s the case).

-Basically everyone would be a blank template of each character:

•Basic Designs with little to no colors (I guess white would be considered a color).

•Bare minimum concept of powers & personality based off the original Undertale characters.

•Little to no facial/emotion expression unless near a large influence of raw emotion.

-This version of Neue would be named “Canvas” (like a blank canvas).

Please comment any suggestions/ideas for these or other AUs that I’m working on.

Swapfell Neue Rough Draft

I’m gonna be doing both Swapfell and Fellswap since I really like both of them.

Swapfell Neue’s name is “Miriam”.

Here is the rough draft:

She is based off a Pygmy Goat, which means she’s really short. She’s actually the shortest of the AU Neues.

*Note: The names might change in the future*

Rough Draft of Merriweather (Underswap Neue)

It’s not pictured here, but she carries a massive war hammer as her weapon of choice. I decided to give her a more “knightly” appearance rather than a “princess-y” appearance similar to her first design.

Also in regards to all of the Neue variants, I gonna add some gender-specific biological differences to their appearances.

Example:

-Males will have larger & thicker horns, long ears & thicker tails.

-Females will have smaller & thinner horns, longer ears & thinner tails, along with a permanent “ecto-body” for the upper torso to form the chest.

-Non-binary will have traits that are in between both of these.

Stragedys Redesign

This is actually the character that sparked this idea of redesigning my Overlord OCs. I just didn’t like how he looked, mainly his clothing.

Here is the finished redesign of Stragedys, plus the addition of his pet hellsheep: Phema.

While redesigning him, I decided to take some inspiration from Cyclops, specifically Polyphemus from the Odyssey.

I made his hair curly and changed the clothes to look more like the Greek Military uniform during the Balkan Wars since that is when he died.

His sheep is obviously a reference to Polyphemus and how he cared for flocks of sheep.

The Jester

Here is the finished reference for the Jester:

His name is based off the word “Heckler” or “Heckle”, & his last name is a reference the term “Gleeman” which was a professional entertainer.

Should I make a Gravity Falls OC? [UPDATE]

So the poll still has 3 days left, but I decided to change 2 out of the 5 characters: specifically the succubus & runaway test experiment.

I felt like they wouldn’t work well in Gravity Falls, plus I couldn’t fit them well with a story idea for these characters.

I replaced the succubus with…..a unicorn! Yes, the same unicorn species from The Last Mabelcorn. I thought their interactions with the other characters would be more comical. They still have the same “abilities” as the unicorns from the show, but I decided to add a few more:

Able to transform into a human, but still has the original color of their mane & eyes.

Can create rainbows (this would evolve into something else later).

Can create unlimited amount of glitter from horn or hands.

Able to “magically” lift small objects with horn, can lift bigger objects/people but takes more energy.

Actually has the ability to see the morality of a soul, but they are unaware of this power.

Next I replaced the experiment with, hear me out…..a dog! Now for a better explanation, this is a scientist in a dog body, this is a result of a failed experiment. The backstory is a bit long, but a simplified version is that they were researching & testing out ways to expand the human life. This obviously failed, but also kinda succeeded. But that’ll be explained later.

I’m also working on their basic information, like what they do, their names, backstory, etc.

I’ll start doing concept art for these characters when the poll is closer to being done.

Lineart of Neue & AU Variants Pt. 1

Neue AU Headshot Rough Drafts: Miriam

Here are the rough draft headshots for Miriam: Swapfell Neue:

Even though Miriam is most likely gonna be a side/background character or a one off sort of character, she is one of my favorites. I hope she radiates “sassy gremlin” & “I’m the main villain of this story” sort of vibe. I’m debating on if I should make her shorter or not. She’s currently around 4’6”, but I think it would be funny to give Ink some competition.

For reference regarding the hair, horns & ears; she’s based of the Pygmy Goat (Picture not mine, found on Google):

Here’s a line of the headshot rough drafts so far:

Neue AU Headshot Rough Drafts: Latin

Here are the rough draft headshots for Latin: Swapfell Red Neue:

Latin was originally created to “even out” the Swaps, but I started to like him more as a character and will be creating a backstory for him as well. Though he’ll probably just be a side/background character.

I ended up kinda using the 2019 design for Swapfell Neue as reference for designing him:

For reference regarding the hair, horns & ears; he’s based of the Valdostana Goat (Picture not mine, found on Google):

Here’s a line of the headshot rough drafts so far:

Gonna be honest, I don’t know what’s going on with his hair. I tried to make it look like a Mohawk, don’t know how well that transferred over.
