AU Neue OCs Update

Sorry I haven’t posted in a while, I got sick for a week then just felt no motivation to draw or what to draw.

So I figured something to help out with this is to redesign the Neue AU variants mainly adjusting colors, clothing & general body shape while adding some story elements for you all to read about them.

Right now, I’m currently trying to pick color palettes for each variant. Basing the colors off the different goat breeds while adding some other colors to prevent them from looking too bland. I’m also changing/adding a few of the characters.

Below are the different Neues showing what AU they’re from, what goat breeds while adding they’re based off & some random information about them:

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!

Update & Upcoming Artwork

Sorry I haven’t posted anything Undertale related for a month, I was taking a break then got super into another fandom so started to work on art for that, then I took another break and then I got sick for almost 2 weeks.

So for a long story short: I basically took a long break to rethink some things.

I think I got a bit overwhelmed with the amount of characters/AU variations that I ended up burning out.

But now, I’m gonna start on a project revolving around Neue AU Variants based on the Star Sanses and Bad Sanses. This will include the following:

-Eras (“Son”/Student of Dream)

-Lucida (“Daughter”/Student of Nightmare)

-Merriweather (Daughter of Underswap Sans)

-Crimson (Son of Horrortale Sans)

-Gisha (Child of Cross Sans)

-Vani (Daughter of Dust Sans)

-Sabon (Son of Killer Sans)

-Canvas (Student of Ink Sans)

Along with a few more.

Obviously for a few of these I haven’t completed their rough drafts yet, but for the ones I did, I’ll be redrawing/redesigning their appearances.

If anyone has any suggestions/questions for these characters, please feel free to comment down below.

Neue & AU Variants: Clothing Rough Draft Pt.5/6

Here are the clothing rough drafts for Quire, Gisha & Styx.

Quire

Gisha

Styx

Sorry it took forever to do these 3, I didn’t have a lot of ideas except for a very basic concept.

Not gonna lie, I can’t draw flowers that well so I just pasted some pics of flowers on Quire to get a basic idea for placement, points for ya’ll if you can guess the flowers and what they symbolize.

I also found out that XTale was technically a Swap AU, which meant I had to make a few changes to Gisha, mainly personality and clothing ideas, I might remove the crown. (I also changed Gisha’s name from Mono, and made them Non-Binary).

I don’t have much to say about Styx, I was debating on drawing birds on his horns; side note: he’s gonna play an interesting role along side Quire and Gisha.

Ask Neue & AU Variants!

While working on the designs of Neue & AU Variants, along with their overall character, you all can ask questions/suggestions to the characters or me.

Most of these will probably be answered through text, but I might draw a few of the characters answering the questions.

You can either leave questions on this blog or through my profile.

Neue & AU Variants Heights

So while waiting for the rest of the clothing drafts, and eventually the colored drafts, I’ll list below what Neue and his AU variants height are.

For reference, I made Sans 4ft 10in/147cm.

Neue: 5ft 8in/173cm

Roman: 5ft 0in/152cm

Merriweather: 5ft 5in/165cm

Miriam: 4ft 7in/139cm

Updated Height Chart

Here is an updated Height chart for the AU Neues.

It was interesting to see the colored versions next to each other. I found the size differences to be funny, especially with the tallest one (Crimson) being in the same picture with the shortest one (Miriam).

Neue & AU Variants: Body/Hair/Eye Colors 18/18

Here is the colored lineart of Quire, Mono, Styx, Mairanda, Eras, and Lucida.

What Kind Of Clothing Should Neue & AU Variants Wear?

So I’m working on the final body lineart of each variant, mainly figure out their body types and totally not procrastinating on drawing their clothes cause I suck at drawing clothes.

Anyway, while I do have some ideas regarding clothing, I’m still having some trouble for most of them.

Basically as the title states, what kind of clothing should Neue and AU variants wear?

Underkeep Neue Rough Draft

This variant’s name is “Quire”.

Here is the rough draft:

He is based off the Danish Landrace Goat.

He is a bit shorter than Century and Avenir.

*Note: I might make comics or short stories with these characters, mainly to build character and relationships*
