User blog:Goldeaglefire1/I Put Way Too Much Investment Into This

So, anyone remember that blog post where I listed the various fanfic ideas that kept bouncing around in my head?

Yeah, one of those have really been bouncing around lately, especially since I drew a sketch of some of the characters from it.

Which leads us here.

Because I sketched out the rest of the characters. Well, the main ones, anyway.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Animatale.

First things first: the Royal Family! Yeah, finally figured that out.

Left to Right:

Starfire: This was really frustrating to draw - because I don't do pseudo-anime well. Then it got worse, because I kinda combined the Starfire from the Teen Titans cartoon with the Starfire from the animated Justice League vs. Teen Titans movie to create an older-looking Starfire (because there's kind of a giant age gap between her and the king if I didn't age her up). But, yeah, here's Starfire as Toriel.

Uncle Grandpa: Or; King Larry (because apparently Larry is his middle name and that sounds more natural). I'm actually pretty satisfied with how this one turned out - especially considering there were practically no straight vectors of Uncle Grandpa for me to reference, so I had to improvise with several different ones. Anyway, Uncle Grandpa as Asgore. Oh, and for those wondering: the crown and cape come from the episode King Gus. And thus, the outfit stealing squad begins...

Star Butterfly: Also pretty satisfied with how this one turned out, because I had the same issue, and improvisation was necessary once again. Only real design difference here is no devil headband and no heart cheeks. So, Star as Asriel. Yeah.

Steel: So, remember how I said Lord Dominator was Chara in my blog post? Yeah, I changed my mind. I have a theme going on here - which you'll probably notice as I go on, and Dominator was the exception. I decided that I didn't want that exception. And, after some thinking, I decided to go with Steel as the replacement. Because I subscribe to the Chara is the Narrator theory, so...yeah. Anyway, Steel as Chara. No design differences because drawing Steel in 2D was hard enough without making differences in design.

And then we have the Snowdin encounters!

Dan: Already covered in my sketch blog. Dan as Sans.

Twilight Sparkle: Already covered in my sketch blog. Twilight as Papyrus.

...There was a pattern here, but then I realized that the two characters weren't enough.

Zim: And the outfit stealing squad gains another member! Honestly, I like his armor design here. It took me a while to figure out, but eventually, I thought "The Tallest" and it clicked. Works surprisingly well, really. Also, he's wearing the Germ Goggles. Because they look cool. Zim as Undyne.

Jenny Wakeman/XJ9: And another member! Honestly, considering the role, I couldn't resist having Jenny wear Wakeman's lab coat. And much like Zim with the Tallest, the look fits her surprisingly well. XJ9 as Alphys.

Princess Pony Head: Yeah, she's the Flowey replacement. It just fits so seamlessly. Some little design changes, but otherwise, the same. Pony Head as Flowey.

Tahu (2015): He also has some weapons designed by Jenny - basically, flamethrower swords - but I was too lazy to draw them. Especially considering the nightmare that is Tahu's 2016 design...anyway, Tahu as Mettaton (Box).

Last, but not least...

Jim Lake: Eh...not much to say here, really. Just modified the armor to make it symmetrical. Yeah. Not much to write home about. Jim as Napstablook.

Tahu (2016): I used to like this design. Then I had to draw it in 2D with practically no references from the show itself and draw all the little details. Now, I still like it, but I also want to punch the designer for Tahu in the face. Tahu (2016) as Mettaton EX.

Max McGrath: Originally, I was going to leave Frisk's role alone...but then this idea came to me when I switched out Dominator with Steel. And, considering I had even worse circumstances then Tahu (2016)'s design, I actually think I did well. So, here you go. A young Max McGrath as Frisk.

But wait, there's more! Because I thought of the motifs for the characters!
