I Just Had To Visualize This-

IM NOT DOING ANYTHING.

The gang has just confronted Caine about him not allowing them to exit.

Dialogue from: ENAs Dream BBQ

Keep Reading - Behind the scenes and Analysis

ANALYSIS -

“Guys, Guys- Wait!”

intention and Context: When Caine gets outright accused of being malicious, he goes into full defensive/panic mode. Whats being said is a fully detailed accusation, not something he can easily brush off as typical irrationality or petty comments like when Pomni first joins or Zooble calling the adventures stupid.

At first it may be interpreted that he’s panicked because "the game" is about to be given away. But really its just because he has never fully comprehended what people think of him until now.

How I Portrayed it: The accusations are represented by the lines in the background going into him, looking sharp and jagged, as these words are incredibly harsh. Also noted that the colors are extremely intense, and the lighting is from below, giving a sort of “scary stories” or “on edge” look.

The repeating purple and red color combo is also meant to give a feeling of cop car lights- adding onto the accusing atmosphere.

-

“Im Not Doing What You Say Im Doing!”

intention and Context: Caine yells that they’ve got it all wrong- trying to gain his composure and explaining himself in a calm and orderly fashion. (this doesnt work.)

How I portrayed it: This attempt at getting a reign on his emotions is shown by the background getting lighter, the lighting being more direct instead of from below, his expression sofening a tad, and the accusing sharp lines blow out to make room for his fighting back.

-

Outside Shot 1): The state of the building where his computer is. uh- not good 😭 The company has long since been abandoned.

-

“Im Not Doing Anything!”

Intentions and Context: Caine insists he’s not doing anything to keep them away from an exit, or to hurt them. Or…at least… he doesn’t want to. Caine is now more or less trying to convince himself of this. This scope of his actions has now become way more than just stopping them from finding an exit. One thought led to another- and yeah.

This is all reminiscent of his language in episode 3 when he talks about how “making adventures is all (he’s) good at”. Whats so interesting about that line is the thing that truly sets him off. Caine says that it’s all he exists to do, this is just factually true! He’s very much BEEN aware of this. He’s an A.I. whos built for making adventures. yeah. this isn’t a shocking revelation.

That is until he takes it far more personally and emotionally than I think he’s ever considered. Its not just all he exists to do- its ALL he does. Its all he’s good at, it is EVERYTHING he is. If he’s not good at that then… uh….Its like he goes from Logic- To emotion- And rounding back to logic. Its all hes designed to do- its all hes GOOD at. What does that mean for someone whos bad at all hes meant for? replacement. fixing the issue. the issue being him.

How I portrayed it: The spotlight-lighting! instead of the attention being harshly accusatory, coming from below and stabbing into him, its more like his every move is being watched under a microscope. He feels pressured more than ever to be perfect now that it’s been made clear people see him as the complete opposite of what he’s supposed to be. A good host wouldn’t make people genuinely think he’s secretly evil-

The glitching is also meant to go back to what I was talking about with the ep 3 moment, as well as show he’s feeling all the emotions hes NOT SUPPOSED TO. He’s afraid, he’s angry, he’s confused. His programming is screaming in pure “!?!?!?!?!?”

-

Outside Shot 2): Inside the abandoned C&A office, there are several conceptual posters on the wall, as well as newspaper clippings. The reason behind the place shutting down is also shown with the graph in the way back (stocks plummeting-) (CAPITALISM!!!) (i still wholeheartedly believe whoever the hell was in charge of C&A was some Cave Johnson ass man who was a complete moron at being a CEO while his programmers worked so hard to keep the ship afloat.)

-

“Im Not Doing Anything At All!”

Intentions and Context: This line helps presents the actual issue here. He isnt doing what they say he’s doing, but he’s also not doing ANYTHING. AT ALL. He’s not actively choosing to cause harm, but he’s also not actively choosing to see where he could be helpful.

Another way the line can be interpreted/have double meaning is the way he feels purposless, especially when he was left alone all that time ago when the office shut down. He feels aimless without the things that give his life meaning and purpose. They left him.

Caine flashes back to where he was before, and without them. He still is currently failing at the only thing he was built to do- but at least he’s not in complete isolation anymore. Theres a lot of conflicting feeling right now with that. He would NEVER stop them from leaving, as he’s only ever built to assist. BUT ALSO IF THEY DID LEAVE, THEN HE’D GO BACK TO THAT.

You know when you get accused of doing something you know you didnt do but then you start gaslighting yourself into believing you did? yeah thats whats happening here

How I portrayed it: The blue that has been seen to depict the real world, is now way more vibrant cause we are now in the digital world- but just as lifeless and sinking as the real life shots. Instead of panic (the shots of Caine explaining himself) or hollow (the shots of the outside world) its supposed to give off a sense of dread (a mix between the 2)

Caine has his hat off as well, like he is removed from the Ringmaster roll he was designed to fill.

BEHIND THE SCENES

Ok so wow.

This project has completely consumed my life for the past 4 days and I couldn’t be happier!!! I heard this ENA audio and well- the pieces just slid into place so perfectly, I had to do SOMETHING about it, and then ofc that plan turned to be way bigger scale than I ever could have imagined.

I made a youtube playlist for the vibe I was going for music wise too!

YouTube

IM NOT DOING ANYTHING

IM NOT DOING ANYTHING

This project took a lot longer than expected because the emotional impact i wanted to potray, THINKING ABOU THIS HURT and I wanted it to hurt to look at. But…that was really hard to do. I played with quite a few different vibes, but I ended up with something i am inCREDibly proud of!!!

So heres a speed paint of just THE CONCEPT because thats the interesting bit! And still lasts a WHILE because of the aforementioned ✨I had no idea what I was doing✨ :D

I figured it out-

If you made it this far, I mean it from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much :3 it means a lot that people care enough about my art to read a bible about it. You’re welcome for the pain!

IT IS NOW LATER.

MUCH LATER THAN I INTENDED-

BUT IT IS LATER.

hoh my FUCKING GODD

Ok but seriously theres so much I have to decompile in this, BECAUSE HELLO??? ASGORE???? MY BABY MAN, HE FINALLY SHOWS HIS FACE!!! Hes so pretty in your style, im gonna give him so much trauma ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Im gonna try to not make too many assumptions on the story based off of the lyrics alone, since yknow you cant change that- BUT I AM GONNA MAKE WILD ACCUSATIONS!!!!!

First of all, “ive tasted friendship” Sans and Alphys, ofc, actual CONNECTIONS , people, HEALTHY THINGS! Theyre not really Wingdings’ thing tho…he has richer taste ig…

“ive tasted YOU” in reference to the SAVE POINT. Which I assume….wait…hold on.

…

GASTER FACES THE CAMERA WHEN HE SAYS THAT, HES TASTED YOU, HES TASTED THE PLAYER, HES TASTED US

…well played…

ALSO GASTER IS JUST LIKE WAY TOO HAPPY ABOUT “TASTING DEATH” LIKE GIRL 😭 I have a feeling this is confirming Gaster doesnt regret what he diiid…? Ofc we’ll only KNOW that when the comics come out n all that BUT LIKE HE SEEMS TO ENJOY THIS WAY TOO MUCH, LOOK AT THIS GUY.

He’s like “oh my god this is the best thing that has ever happened to me” WHAT ABOUT YOUR BROTHER, WINGDINGS. WHAT ABOUT S A N S- i need to calm down.

we cut to Alphys and Sans experiencing the horrors…looove thatt…always lovd that

THEN OBLIGATORY FLOWEY REFERENCE WITH THE “UH OH” BIT- BITCH WHEN I- WH- WHEN I- BTSBHF- 🫵🫵🫵🫵🫵🫵

then THIS MOMENT IM OBSESSED WITH BECAUSE PAPYRUS HONEY BABY NO 😭 He is NOT too thrilled about this which I mean we already knew, BUT IT MAKES IT SO MUCH WORSE THAT GASTER IS SOOOOO HAPPY LIKE HOW FUCKING DARE YOU

WE ARE SO BACK GANG

GOD I MISSED DRAWING THESE GUYS, LIKE MAKING FULL ILLUSTRATIONS- Ive just had 0 good ideas- but listening to “I Need Some Sleep” by Eels is what did it.

You know when you wake up from a dream and you still feel all the emotions it gave you, but the harder you try to remember the more it escapes from your grasp? And even when you remember small details for just a moment, you forget, and will never remember again. yeah thats how I imagine Sans felt when Wingdings died-

This takes place before Sans learned to accept and love what he has now instead of holding onto the past, BUT HERES THE THING ABOUT THE MINDSET HE HAD BEFORE- he couldn’t even remember what or WHO he was still trying to hold onto. He just knew it had been different, and I imagine he grieves for that.

If we pretend this “trying to remember a dream” idea is canon, when Sans first woke up, he felt all the emotions full force but couldnt remember a thing. Certain things would trigger memories but theyd leave as soon as they came.

Wingdings being just a spool of thread thats unraveling can also be taken 2 different ways. His memory is unraveling from Sans’ mind, but even when he was still alive I imagine he was losing it, and unraveling while Sans was helpless but to watch as his brother went insane, (metaphorically) in his arms

but thats JUST A THEORY-

A DEPRESSION THEORY!!!! THANKS FOR READING

I also enjoyed making the thread still really long even if it does end at some point- like Wingdings still had so much life to live but no he had to see the angels or whatever the fuck his plan was

MY BOY!!!!! MY BOY!!!!!! THE BOY???

Ough this is so so gorgeous and honestly one of the most impressive artistic feats ive seen- THE DEDICATION IS CRAZY!

My boy is riiiiight there :3

as a celebration- heres some more art of him! He got demoted cause he lost a bet to Bubble :3

I plan to do more with him but nothing too serious cause this entire au is basically one big shitpost and Caine + Ragatha interaction excuses. (GUYS THEYRE SO SIMILAR YOU GOTTA BELIEVE ME)

GROUP PHOTO!

Drew every Caine I could think of- apparently you can fit 50 Caines on one sheet of paper lol (and I’ll draw more next time!)
