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.

Very interesting stuff revealed today regarding Deltarune. I'm pretty sure the first image is just that minigame Toby was referring to on Bluesky. Chapter 4 looks really different, even changing the colors of the characters. No doubt this is the church.

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.

WIP for my Undertale Gameboy art project.

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...💀

Deltarune looking cool as hell

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.

Another character from my Underswap take, this time the Flowey role. I don't have a name yet, as I want to start changing up the names and designs to stand out from their canon counterparts. Im case you're wondering, Asgore AND Toriel are in this role.

WHERE DOES THIS DARKWORLD TAKE PLACE IN?
