Rain
Comic 794 - Cinnamon or butterscotch?
Author Notes:
Firstly, in case you didn't catch it in the image, please don't spoil anything in the comments. I take spoilers very seriously and I will start deleting comments at the first sight of them. But please don't make me have to do that. ^_^
The spoiler thing is important though, because I've never technically played this game (I don't normally like gaming on my computer). But I did happen upon the demo the other day and finally decided to at least try that. I was... immediately in love. The atmosphere, the music, the characters (the demo consisted only of those in the image)... just everything captivated me right off. I laughed. I cried (twice). My mind was blown a little. And that's just from the half hour demo.
So even though I was previously content to dodge spoilers while waiting for a console version (which, to my understanding, could very well never happen), I'm kind of invested now. I know I'm going to have to give in and play this real soon. But for now, I really need to focus. Thing is, it's so in my head right now.
Hence the fanart. When I get a new story idea that I don't want to work on right away, I tend to draw the lead character(s) to clear my head so I can return my attention to the comic. It usually works. So let's see if it works with other people's stories too. XD
As for the art itself, I primarily used sprites from the demo as reference for the characters (and a screenshot for the background). For the most part, Toriel, Flowey, and Napstablook are pretty directly how they appear in the game. The player character (whom I named "Lynn"; I don't know what their actual name is if they have one) has a little bit of artistic license. I'm to understand that the player character's age, gender and ethnicity was left purposely ambiguous so the player can insert themselves in whatever way makes them most comfortable. So OF COURSE my head canon of the protagonist is a little trans girl (would you expect anything else from me?). XD
Anywho, eventually I'll actually play this. And when I do, there's a good chance I'll draw more. But for now, just a cute, little pic and back to Rain!
You will love this game please let us know when you have played the full game
*Loud bang, Noelle falls over, badass Jocelyn sitting in the corner with a sniper rifle*
No but really, I loved it <3 MY HEARTSTRINGS. THEY HAS BEEN TUGGEDDDDD!
Jocelyn, if you end up playing and liking it, you HAVE to seek out Earthbound (if you haven't already played it, of course!). Originally for SNES, we found a "homebrew" version for the Wii. I'd never played it as a kid, but it was a gigantic influence on Undertale and is hands-down my favorite game. Have fun!! I love your comics, btw! :)
I have played Earthbound, actually. Somewhere between 20-30 times, in fact. ^_^ It's actually one of my favorite games. I've done fanart for that as well too (which, oddly, I thought I posted on Comic Fury; sorry for that oversight).
But yeah, when Undertale first came out, I heard a lot of early comparisons of it to Earthbound, which was what originally got me curious about it. And now I'm FINALLY playing it.
he's not the cinnamon
he's the butler-scotch
When I saw your character art I legitimately thought it was of Chanel as the player character...
