ohh thank you very much :D i had the idea for a composition surrounding this bouncing around in my head for a while and im happy with what i landed with :)

Post by @lynxgriffin · 1 image 💬 1  🔁 43  ❤️ 241 · Sooo idk if you’re into heavy lore theorising and sorry if this has been already asked, but what do you personally make of the thing called “IMAGE_FRIEND?” Some of have said it’…

found the post! i think its an interesting way of categorizing these characters

and one of my fav interpretations of FRIEND is that it may represent a fear of the unknown (i can grab a link to the post I'm thinking abt soon im on mobile, i'll link it here). which i think would fit a lot with susie and her struggles with constantly being dragged away via moving (2/2)

ohhhh this too yea. i wonder if some of the cutscene might have been Susie's imagination playing it out considering I don't know if Ralsei would know what the light world looks like. Something too about Susie constantly moving around and never knowing what's ahead for her life (1/2)

i know the vending machine outside of the s-rank room has that one dialogue for the SMILE option of "always at your humble service." Might not be directly related to FRIEND but wouldn't surprise me if it were. i think FRIEND might be more of an accomplice to someone than an active force itself

I should also say i don't think FRIEND is fully malicious by any means as is the case with most utdr characters. It's an observer.

i find it interesting that FRIEND seems associated with Susie's room (the chair). I see it get associated with other characters a lot but rarely with Susie. susie is a character who is so scared. She tries not to be but she is. but scared of what?

Digital illustration of a younger Susie from Deltarune huddled under the covers on her bed, tugging her hair with fat tears running down her face. FRIEND is seen as a silhouette as if its surrounding her, and the window, poster, and chair seen in her room are visible in the moonlight behind FRIEND's legs.

What is it that you are so afraid of? #deltarune

Thank you!!!! He us but a whimsical silly thing

tysm!!! i wanna play with maybe doing some other colors with this at some point since it turned out a bit darker than intended but im glad the warmth comes through :)

the "this whole house is your friend" quote absolutely gutted me when i first read it btw. top deltarune lines that make me wanna pace around in circles forever.

A poster-like digital illustration in a mimic risograph print style of all of the darkners from deltarune Chapter 3 surrounding Kris at the bottom. The pixel NPCs from the Mancountry easter egg appear at the top. At the bottom is a quote from Ramb: "Keep your chin up, Kris! This whole house is your friend!"

there's no place like home! #deltarune

completely forgot to post this one when i made this months ago bc i lowkey forgot bluesky existed for a lil bit oops. hi

Digitally illustrated spread featuring Shuttah from Deltarune Chapter 3 in various flamboyant poses. It is vaguely? abstractly? humanoid with eyes for hands and a strip of camera film for its mouth, its body is striped in simplified rainbow colors with its legs ending in heel-like shoes. The backdrop is reminiscent of its in-game attacks and colorful text with its name appears at the top right.

our resident camerathing! #deltarune #shuttah

tysm!! :D that reminds me i should probably remember to post the other drawings i have of it here oughh. Love that thing

definitely only 4 of these btw. yep.

a grid featuring 4 painty-styled illustrations meant to look like polaroids of various moments in Kris and Asriel's childhoods. First has Asriel chasing Kris who is holding a power strip (Ramb) close to their chest, next is a photo of Kris looking out at the rain from inside, next is the kids playing cards (Kris is cheating), and the last one is Asriel and Kris making shadow puppets on the wall with the figures from the windowsills.

heres the polaroid photos from the background of page 17 of Smile, You're on Camera! i didnt initially plan on painting them but i think they turned out nice. #deltarune

thank youuuu. me too me too i need to draw him more.

sketch page of tenna from deltarune in his pre-big shot era (no nose, wearing a dapper black tux with a hat and cane) in various poses referenced from tap dancing.

more sketches and thumbnails of tenna for my comic. The dancing ones feature him in a dark silhouette. A couple other miscellaneous poses are sketched here as well that feature in the comic.

some gesture / pose studies i ended up doing while sketching for that comic. see him Dancies..... Forgive his whimsy he was just born today okay #deltarune #tenna

tysm! :D

thank you so much, im glad the pacing worked out!

also thank you 😭 its something ive needed to get out for so long but Aalas. last year was busy and this years been a lot of stabilization (#employmentttt) but im finally getting to a point where i can feasibly work on it! very excited to work on it

thank you so much :D i really wanted to just have a lot of fun with formatting and compositions and im rly happy with how most of these turned out :)

didnt expect to be drawing a comic in which tenna is naked for a good 3rd of it but yknow. C'est la vie and all that.

and this is basically a practice round for myself before tackling my giant fuckoff deltarune comic thats been in my brain for 6 years. learned a lot from this one and how i can tackle that beast :') hoping to start on that one by the beginning of next year fingers crossed

The salesman calls out, "Hey you, BIG GUY!" but is drowned out by Tenna's thoughts, appearing abstracted like smoke from his vents as he begins to silently spiral. The salesman cups a hand to his mouth, "Can ya even hear me u there, big fella?" he wonders, before looking down and noticing the cable leading from the back of Tenna's head to the floor- his tail - and hums to himself in thought. Tenna begins to clutch his head before being jostled from his spiral by a yank to the cord at the back of his head, face appearing as color bars for a moment before he looks down at the offender who beams smugly up at him, holding the end of his tail. "Hey BUDDY! I think ya mighta left something down here! Today's your LUCKY day friend, cuz I'm feeling mighty generous-- I'll give this on back to ya for the low low price of FREE-- IF!!! Ya could help a guy out and tell me who the big boss round here is!" he prattles.

Tenna leans down, taking his tail back from the stranger. "Well, well, little guy! Aren't you quite the BOLD one! I'll tell ya, you're talking to 'em right now! ...And who, might you be?" he questions the smaller man. "Haha, nice to be meetin' ya then, Mr. Head Honcho! I'll say, I'm a bit of a... BIG SHOT back where I'm from. The name is..." it trails off. The narration continues. "... Not everyone liked the change." Toriel is seen in one panel carrying a box of toys, books, and games to be donated. "Some people left." A group of darkners, notably including the darkners from Card Kingdom, march on into the dark. Kris, Susie, and Ralsei appear before Shuttuh in TV world. "Of course..." it appears to say, holding out a greyed polaroid featuring Tenna and the salesman shaking hands, signed at the bottom with "Ant Tenna" and "S.G.S." and a note of "to the start of something new!" scrawled at the bottom. "That was in the days of the black-and-white."

A large atrium with a view into a tall TV themed city above pans down to a stage, lit by four spotlights, with the TV - Tenna - at its center. "But this theatre was built upon that..."

"And, it grew," the narration continues. A collection of snapshots across studio history appear - Tenna broadcasting with the weather, him checking on his production team, catching pippins gambling in the backroom, and him meeting Ramb - accompany a sprawl of polaroid photos in the background capturing the Dreemurr's home life.

In the studio just beyond the stage, Tenna begins briefing his workers and is approached by a zapper. "Excuse me, Mr. Tenna? We gots some company in da Green Room." Tenna turns to face them. "Oh? Visitors? Is it already playtime?" he inquires before being struck with fear. "Shoot, SHOOT! We need to clean up this MESS!" he points out to his workers. "Places everyone, PLACES!" In the light world, Noelle who is holding a laptop is brought to the Dreemurr house by her mom. Kris sits on the floor surrounded by dice, playing cards, a power strip, collectable figures, and is holding crayons and drawing on paper.

Shown in the background is Kris and Noelle beginning to play with their toys - the laptop and the power strip respectively. In the dark world, two zappers hold the Green Room doors open as the laptop - Queen - enters the studio, bringing the denizens of Cyber City with her. She is followed by Swatch and Spade King. Tenna giddily waves. "Why, hello and welcome to our lovely guests! What a surprise to see you all here today--" he begins, before promptly being passed by the visiting group. Queen, glass of acid in hand, responds: "Hey TV Guy / Looks Like The Party's Moving Over Here LOL / Nice To See You (/true) / TTYL."" Tenna seems particularly confused at the acronym before nervously shrugging it off. "Ah- Ahaha! Of course, I'm so HAPPY you've all made yourselves feel right at HOME in our humble little studio! That's, cool! I'll just find-- someone! To chat with." He begins going around the room, deciding against talking to Spade King, trying (and failing) to converse with Swatch, Queen, and Ramb, and finds himself alone at the center of the room. "Haha... ah! Tough crowd today, folks," he says, tugging at his collar as steam billows out of his vents. Amidst the crowd, a black and white bespectacled salesman approaches.

He dances across the board walk, screen glowing brightly as he beams. He ends off with a flourish and slides onto the ground, proudly holding up his cane and hat.

Looking into the spotlight, he sees them - the two that put him here - as they laugh on the couch across from him. They smile, hands interlocked, emulating the dancing from the channel they were watching. The TV looks up shyly with their faces reflected on his.

He brings his hands to his face, glowing pinker. "They... They're smiling! Smiling because of... ME!" As he pulls his hands away, it reveals that he has gained fangs into his smile to match the Dreemurrs. "Oh, who am I kidding of course they are, I-- I was made for this! They need me!" he exclaims. "You've given me a lovely home... a beautiful outfit... and... A... Purpose. A part to play..." He takes a bow. "Oh dear viewers, If I keep you all entertained, then I'll have played my part well!"

"In the once upon a time, there was a land like purple cliffs. A frozen waste, watery basin, a metal desert." Three abstracted dark worlds and their accompanying light world locations of the fridge, the sink, and the stove respectively, appear as the narration dictates.

He feels the light hand touch the top of his head, and suddenly a beam of light appears in his world - a spotlight. A passing conversation is heard in the world above. "What do we want to watch?" someone mutters, beginning to change the channel with the remote "So many possibilities..." In the dark world, a zapper appears next to the TV, newly summoned in. They approach the TV, startling him and causing his screen "fuzz" to stand on end. "You there! Oh, sorry for scaring yous. But..." they point back towards the spotlight. "I thinks the lightners are waiting for you. Yous better hurry," it explains. The passing conversation in the light world continues "Hohoh! Turn the channel back, that one!" a deeper voice exclaims. "Oh yes, you are right, that one is perfect!" the partner says in response. In the dark world, the TV cocks its head. "Light... ners? They... want..." it looks towards the light. "...Me?"

The TV looks deep into the spotlight above him, perceiving a warm presence that seems to speak directly to him: "Ah there we are! You work like a charm... Now... Let's see what you've got to show us today!" He steps back in shock. "'You'"-- he quotes. "They're talking to me?!" he stammers, screen flushing to pink. He turns towards his crowd, and the zapper reassures him, "They're countin' on you up there!" With not much choice left, the TV steps towards the spotlight. "Ah... Well.... Then I suppose it would be rude to delay any longer."

Reaching into the spotlight, the TV begins to change - he is now wearing a sleek black tuxedo, and finds himself holding a hat and cane. "Oh... Oh my... What's this that you've given me...?" he muses, placing the hat on top of his head. "I... think I get it. You're giving me a home, right here... Letting me take up the center stage..."

"A spotlight, your light... Just- just for me...!" the TV ponders as he walks, following in step with the spot light. The metal plates on the bottoms of his tap shoes click against the floor. "Well then, folks, if this is what you've asked for.... "Then let this SHOW begin!" he announces with a smile and an open pose.

"This should help..." Asgore mutters as he pulls the antenna set out of the box, and starts to set it up. With a view into another world, a CRT monitor sits alone on the ground. Asgore plugs the antenna into the back of the CRT. The TV awakens, "There we go, it is working!" Toriel exclaims. Beginning to receive signal, the TV seems to gain a body in the other world.

The TV has been given a humanoid form in the dark world, curled in a fetal position against a deep background. "You should thank Tenna for brightening everything up."

Waking from his stupor, the TV's body, made of static, reacts to the new sensory input from the antennas. A mouth begins to form on his face.

He finds himself in the dark, sitting on a boardwalk. Below, an audience of dark figures gathers. Curious about the new being, they begin climbing up the deck, much to the TV's surprise. He begins backing away as a softly lit hand reaches for him among the smaller, darker hands of his new audience.

bsky not letting me post all at once so gimme a sec to get these all up WAUGHHH!!!! (2/6)

Cover page for a Deltarune comic by @starfacedstudio, called "Smile, You're On Camera." It features the Dreemurr home TV silhouetted in deep purple with a long shadow and a grin on its screen, flanked by Toriel and Asgore on either side.

An abstracted view of a desolate looking dark world of cliffs with boardwalks. There is narration: "The couch cliffs, how purple and majestic they were. The dusty, the empty, such are the worlds such as those. Ooo la la... The purple worlds, you think they give the creeps." The Dreemurrs are moving into their newly bought home. "Tsk... You have seen naught but that tempered by light," the narration continues.

Asgore wheels in a cart with three boxes on it, notably one containing a CRT TV on the bottom. "Oh Asgore," Toriel says, "It is already starting to feel like home here!" "Ah... it truly is! We've got just-" Asgore huffs, "A few boxes to go... Rudy really wasn't lying about Carol being generous with the size of this thing..." he trails off. "Careful now, dear," Toriel replies. Asgore tilts the cart forward to put the boxes on the floor. "Ah, of course... I wouldn't dream of dropping such a lovely gift! And after all of this... I think we've earned a rest, have we not?" He reaches for the CRT box and begins to open it.

Toriel joins Asgore in lifting the tube TV. "What a perfect spot for you to call home..." she remarks. Asgore plugs it in. "Looks like this baby's got power! Now lets wake you on up..." He presses the power button at the front only to be met with static. "Ah... But we haven't got signal." Toriel brings out the remote accompanying the TV. "Well, we do live somewhere pretty remote!" she snickers. "...We must not forget to set up the antenna," she says, handing a box containing a matching antenna set for the TV over to Asgore. "Bahaha-- I suppose that's true!"

sorry for disappearing for 4 months it Will happen again. anyways heres a 22 page comic ive been working on since august bc that tv has bewitched me. Narration is based on that one shuttuh dialogue about the darkworld before Tenna. Enjoy! (1/6) #deltarune #tenna
