I have a theory about the SOUL modes in Deltarune and how they may connect to the bosses and their personalities.


Isn't it odd how the yellow SOUL, which is based on justice, is used in the battle against Spamton NEO, a crooked and backstabbing salesman who stole the power of the NEO Armor? Regardless of if you fight him or spare him, he falls regardless and is stopped, bringing him to justice in a sense. What if each bonus boss's personality/fight is based on the opposite of what their soul mode represents?

You could apply this to Jevil too, since the red souls isn't attached to anything in particular, so Jevil wouldn't really have to be an opposite. Thouhh, if you WERE to go that route, given how the red soul is used to order you and your party, which is emphasized in the snowgrave route too, you could argue that Jevil's personality being chaos, or A LACK OF ORDER, would be the counter to that. And regardless of how you defeat him, he's brought into some form of order, whether by being your weapon, or going to rest for a century.

So does this mean that say, a Light Blue SOUL boss would be impatient and hotheaded, or maybe a Green SOUL boss, unkind and rude, and so on? Who knows really, but it is an interesting thing to think about.

Getting ready to start working on character profiles for my Swap AU at some point. Obviously these are just concept scribbles and not what the character art is gonna look like.

Found some pretty old concept doodles I drew up for Kliki's dark world. Since the setting was a therapy office, the darkner would be based on things like markers, stress stones, and marriage books.

Drew Papyrus in a Gameboy style for a personal art project of mine. I don't usually do sprites like this which you can probably tell...💀

ralsei!

I hate when people have the most generic names for their role/setting-change AU because then whenever I try to find a specific song from it, I cannot remember what the name of the account was because it's one of A BUNCH OF AUS WITH THE SAME NAME UGGGHHH

God damn it kris.

WIP for my Undertale Gameboy art project.

More concept scribbles, this time for my swapped Spamton's rework. As you can see he's getting a way bigger rework from his original design. I wanted him to be more closely associated with money, so I chose an old toy cash register as his lightworld form.

Decided to go back to my Underswap take since people seem to like it. In Toriel's role, we have Chara. They're meant to look almost like a cave diver, since they isolate themselves from Monster-kind for the most part. They're a bit of an old loon.
