Swapfell Neue Rough Draft

Character Updates & Information {Please Read}

This is just an update regarding character designs: I might not post in a minute due to trying to complete the clothing rough drafts for the 6 remaining characters, finishing the outline & coloring of finished rough drafts, writing character sheets for the characters, & working on rough drafts for new AU Variants.

So I have a lot on my plate & will be taking breaks to avoid becoming burnt out, however I feel bad not posting anything, especially regarding my characters, so I’ll post minor facts or ideas for the characters while working on them.

For now, this post will go over a few of the characters, mainly 3-6 characters at a time to avoid creating a super long post. Anyway let’s start.

Neue - UNDERTALE

Neue is able to remember past timelines/resets like Sans, but how he remembers them is a bit different. Neue will remember resets similar to trying to remember a dream, or having a strange sense of deja vu. He can’t tell if these “memories” are real or not, which causes him to overthink/ overanalyze certain events that occur.

Roman - UNDERFELL

Roman is trans, male to female, but is fine with the following pronouns: She/He/They. This is due to the transition being rather recent & giving her friends & family time to process her changes, she is keeping her original name since she really likes it. She already had a somewhat “feminine” physique before transitioning, which did cause some teasing/bullying from the other monsters.

Nova - OUTERTALE

Nova has & will always just float/levitate about few feet off the ground. He doesn’t remember the last time he has actually walked or even touched the ground, not that he minds. He does doze off a lot which could cause him to drift off, his friends came up with the solution to tie a rope around him & hold him like a balloon.

Dusttale: Revived | Research Notes for PATIENCE

Missy Burlappe: The Flesh-Thread Seamstress

Missy Burlappe (Ms. Burlappe or just Missy) is the Overlord over the clothing industry, specifically costume design & tailoring, and is part of the Theatre Overlords lead by The Puppeteer.

She grew up around the small town of Glossop, England during the early 1900s. She had a large family: parents, siblings, grandparents, great grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins all living under 1 roof.

However, her family was far from innocent: they were a family of murderous cannibals. It’s unclear when this “traditions” started, but it’s been in the family since before the great grandparents. They would kidnapped individuals and use parts of their bodies to eat or use in clothing, furniture, and even toys for the children.

Missy was quite skilled in skinning the victims and using their skin for sewing, helping with making clothes and dolls for her younger siblings and cousins. She also grew an interest in creating detailed designs in the “clothes” she makes (and eventually using normal pieces of fabrics to sew).

Once she turned 18, she moved to Liverpool, England and opened her own boutique. While not the most popular, she became well known throughout the city. However, family traditions are hard to get rid off, and cravings started to grow.

She would first kidnap people whom she judged “sinful”: thieves, abusers, drunks, prostitutes, generally rude people, smokers, etc. She then started going after individuals who lived alone and “flirt” with them. Missy had a secret basement under her boutique where she would keep the kidnapped individuals.

However, she grew careless one night and didn’t realized she was being followed. After finding her next victim, she lead her to her boutique, not realizing that the victim’s lover was following her. Before Missy could do anything, the Lover grabbed the victim and ran to the roof of the boutique. Missy followed them, thinking she had cornered them.

However, the victim grabbed a burlap bag and covered Missy’s head. Unable to see, she tried to find them, but was pushed off the building and fell into the streets below, killing her.

After arriving in Hell, she was greeted by The Puppeteer, who has been watching her and her “creative” clothes designing during her past life. The Puppeteer offered her to “improve” her hands to help better at clothes designing, eat as many individual as she pleases, and give total control over the souls she collect in exchange for her “working” under The Puppeteer, making her follow The Puppeteer’s every demand when needed. She accepted with no hesitation.

Out of the other Theatre Overlords, she’s definitely more unstable, making most feel uneasy and even in danger around her. While “most” of the others felt some remorse for their past actions, she feels none and justifies her past actions, but also she had fun doing these past. However, when she was allowed to leave the Theatre, found solace in Cannibal Town and became good friends with Rosie, and eventually on good terms with Alastor.

Design

Her name is based around the fact that parts of her body is made of burlap, and she died with a burlap bag over her head.

She is around 7ft 8in tall, making her taller than Alastor, who is supposedly 7ft 2in.

Her fingers are supposed to look like pins and needles often used in sewing (took some inspiration from Beldam from Coraline and the Prototype from Poppy Playtime).

Regarding the colors, I wanted her to look somewhat similar to the inhabitants of Cannibal Town, specifically Rosie.

Her body is very floppy, almost like she has no bones. This in a way is supposed to reflect how she died, which was from severe blunt trauma from falling off a building.

She has long arms due to The Puppeteer’s offer, and to represent how she could have “reached” the duo before falling, bringing them with her.

The pins around her wrists and neck act as “shackles” due to being under The Puppeteer’s control.

Here is a basic reference without the dress:

Neue & AU Variants: Clothing Rough Draft Pt.2/6

Here are of the clothing rough drafts for Miriam, Avenir, & Crimson.

Miriam

Avenir

Crimson

Avenir gave me the most trouble when creating his outfit, but Crimson was nostalgic since I based his coat off the one my great grandpa gave me.

I saw a post made by @bee-ina-boat for making an Euclydian OC, and wanted to try it out.

I ended making 4 different ones by taking my first answers and use the opposite of them, then picked the median for the both of them and then do the opposite of that. A little confusing but you’ll see what I mean.

Anyway, here’s all 4 OCs (names TBD):

The rectangle one was made by my first answers. Aprons make me think of bakers, so I made this one a baker, which with their multiple arms, would make baking a piece of cake. The personality trait I got was edgy, but I didn’t know how to incorporate that. I imagine they would bake cynical cookies that would say something like “I you stub your toe multiple times today”.

The octagon one was made by the opposite of my first answers. I got the personality trait professional, but got headphones as the accessory. This got me thinking that they could be a really good DJ or Music Producer. I also got extra fingers, so even though I gave the others 4 fingers, I gave this one 6 to make them more obvious.

The trapezoid one was made by finding the median of the first & opposite answers. With the closed eye, curious personality & big boots, I wanted to make a character that was blissfully unaware. They almost have a child-innocence to them, completely unaware of the cosmic horrors around them.

The oval one was made by the opposite of the median answers. The yellow coloring & bowler hat made me think that they could be a rip-off of a rip-off Bill Cipher. They’re a door-to-door salesperson offering questionable items & deals, but is more mischievous than sadistic. A full “live audience” soundtrack follows them everywhere like a sitcom.

I tried to do complementary colors for the accessories to keep them simple.

I don’t have any names for them yet, so feel free to comment your own names & headcanons.

Neue AU Headshot Rough Drafts: Courier

Courier is basically from Underswap: Yanberry Flavored, which is just a longer way of saying they’re from the “Yandere Sans” Underswap rather than the “Canon” Underswap (Blue or Swap).

Here are the rough draft headshots for Courier: Underswap/Yanberry Neue:

They’re one of the few that I didn’t have any previous design for, so I had to make it up as I went. It’s most likely going to change in the future.

For reference regarding the hair, horns & ears; they’re based of the Anglo-Nubian Goat (Pictures not mine, found on Google):

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

AU Neues & Concept Idea

Sorry I haven’t posted in a while, but I was doing some “research” for basically a “my take” of an AU, specifically Horrortale. But I also tried to revamp my list AUs that I want to draw Neue in, mainly AUs regarding the Bad & Star Sanses.

I’m currently working on a yearbook style headshots for all the AUs that I’m gonna draw Neue in (25 in total 🙃).

However, I wanted to discuss more about a story or slice of life headcanon for the “Sanses” & “Neues” within the Bad & Star Sanses, along with a few others that the Neues are friends with.

Main AUs

Horrortale

Dusttale

Something New/Killer AU

X-Tale

Underswap

Blank Template (My AU)

Dreamtale

I’m also gonna include some “Neues” who will have a bigger main role, but will eventually become more side/background characters: specifically Epictale & Underkeep Neue.

There’s another AU variant that’ll be included, Georgia or Gigi (Underlust Neue) which was inspired by @vantriloquist for Passion & Plum! I have a few ideas for him.

Basically it’s gonna be going over the “home-life” of the Bad Sanses & Neues, what they were like when they first got there, how their relationship works, & just generally more character building for my OCs.

I have posted some rough drafts for a few of the AUs listed above, but I’m definitely gonna be doing some touch ups/redesign once I get their personalities figured out.

It’s gonna generally revolve around Crimson (Horrortale Neue), Vani (Dusttale Neue), Sabon (Killer AU Neue) & Gisha (X-Tale Neue); with bits of Merrriweather (Underswap Neue) & Canvas (Blank Template Neue). I might include Eras & Lucida (Dreamtale “Neues”) along with a few joke “AUs” of an AU.

If ya’ll have questions or even your own headcanons for this, please comment them down below!

Finished/Colored Lineart: Avenir

Here is the finished final draft for Avenir:

Also here’s the lineart for just the body as well:

Hetalia Infection AU: The Reach Virus Explanation

The Reach Virus: The Status of the Allied Powers

Notes:

-Percentages should be read has “higher = better”, except for stress which should be read has “lower = better”.

-Designs may change in the future.
