WATCH OUT! #art
Digital art, abstract. A woman hitting something off-screen with an axe. It is a still image, but three different poses are shown simultaneously. Lifting the axe, Winding up and the blow. It looks like the woman has two torsos and six arms. Her long red hair is stylized to look like flames. End ID.

And you were my home 🏠🐟
Digital art. Two humanoid figures on a grassy field with red flowers. Their bodies are featureless, and one has a fishbowl for a head while the other has a house. Fishbowl person is falling from the sky and the house is catching them. Fishbowl has a frame around them like objects in art programs do when you move them.

But she's so hard to sell because she's the first main character and stands like THIS in her character introduction and you go, "Ruff, this portrait is too stiff!" Until you flip the page and see the others and go, "Ah. I see. She's just like that."
Digital art. An expressionless Strawberry Ketchup stands very stiffly in the void. Her hands are rolled into fists and her expression is stern but neutral.

Strawberry Ketchup's design is one of my proudest achievements.

I love all the characters I've designed, I mean, I made them. If I didn't like them I'd change them 😂

But with her it's like I've reached that perfect balance. She's so simple yet clearly herself 🏠
Poster for Undating Nonsimulator. Digital art. Shows Strawberry Ketchup smiling and holding up a small red planet. Behind her stands Cloud Pudding, his hands on her shoulders, leaning on her slightly. They have floating mouse cursors around them, pointing at them. Behind them is a frame inside a frame inside a frame. And behind those is a space background with many stars. At the bottom the poster reads: "Undating Nonsimulator. On Youtube @rufoustee. End ID.

No way I'm next 🤪

(also for the first time ever the preview crop kind of helps 🤔)
Digital art. A person is wearing a medieval head crusher. We can only see the top of their head. Above them is another person, holding the handle of the device. This second person is also wearing a head crusher. A third person, off-screen holds the handle of the second device.

Hello? Are you there? When you said you would love me in any lifetime, were you just being corny or were you serious? Because here I am, standing at the edge of the universe. I see the goldfish, still dreaming. No, I'm not a worm, not this time, haha. Can you hear me?

Can you hear me? #art
Digital art. One character (Cloud Pudding) dipping another (Strawberry Ketchup) (dip as in the dance move). The characters' bodies are composed of simple geometric shapes, the pose is exaggerated so the characters' limbs are stretched and long and their heads are detached from their bodies. Strawberry's composed of different shades of red while Cloud has different shades of blue, except for his eyes that are two large bright yellow circles. On the right there's text written in code: "Goldfish dreams."

6/6 All this to say I'll just change his design with no canon explanation lol. I need to work on it a little longer, mostly the proportions, but he looks better already.

(His hair had already been changed.)

Zucchini will also get a slightly less noticeable redesign.
Screenshot from a drawing app shows the top half of Pitaya's body. He now has a chin. His outfit and accessories remain the same.

3/6 His design was a joke on bad AI generated art! (So was Zucchini's) He's based on these characters from this very quick scene. The "fictional AI" took random pieces from the characters below to create this one!
(No real AI was involved of course, I did that.)
A bunch of people in colorful cosplay inside a messy public bathroom.

A bit of a confession:

Since his FIRST appearance, I've disliked Pitaya's design. At the time, I was making these episodes as fast as I could. Between this episode and the previous one, there was one month. 1/6
Screenshot from Undating Nonsimulator Episode 10. It shows Pitaya Macaron standing in a kitchen. Digital art.

"Everybody loves her!" 🏠🌈

Back to art posting! You get: Undating Nonsimulator.
igital art. Strawberry Ketchup from Undating Nonsimulator standing in front of an empty pixel-art landscape. She is faceless, and her hands are folded in front of her. Around her, many blue hands are trying to reach her, praying, begging, clawing at her image. Same image as the previous slide, except in this one, Strawberry has one green eye with smudged makeup.

2/2 By the way I used Demirramon's undertale text box generator for the text boxes ^.^
Fifth image. Kris' hands on a piano. Text reads: "Maybe Quiet. But Perceptible." Sixth image. Kris sitting on a couch, between Toriel and Asriel. They're eating pie. The glow of an off-screen TV illuminates the room. Text reads: "Maybe Unremarkable... But Present." Seventh image. Close-up of Noelle, laughing. Text reads: "Maybe Small... But Precious." Eighth and final image of the post. Kris with their heart/soul "cut out" of their chest (like paper). They seem tense. The soul floats behind them, glowing in the dark. Text reads: "Now's too late to think about that though." End.

Kris Deltarune or whatever their name is I do not care for them *cries for hours* 1/2

Also don't worry about spoilers for ch 3+4 drew these while I wasn't even done with them... #deltarune
Thread includes a series of digital art based on Deltarune. They're atrranged like a comic or a slideshow with text below, inside text boxes similar to the ones in the game. This is the first one. A close-up of Kris Dreemurr, holding a small, red, lit candle. They have a neutral expression. Text reads: "You are small." Second image. Shows Kris' room, their bed and the empty shelved above it. They're leaning on the bed with their face down. Text reads: "Small. Unremarkable. Quiet." Third image. The background is multiple different locations from the game, superimposed on each other. You can see little bits of the school, the church, Toriel's kitchen... Kris is floating above the background. They are semi-transparent, and are painted with the "no-texture default texture" art programs use: a gray and white checkered pattern. They text box is behind them but the text is above them. It reads: "You pass through life like a ghost." Fourth image. We are looking down at Kris, and they're raising their hands towards us. They seem unamused. Text reads: "If someone else could take control... Wouldn't that be lovely?" End of first post. Continues in the next one.

I love my evil old lady scientist exes hashtag divorce. #art
Digital art. Two older women (characters named Salt and Cindy) staring at each other: Salt is taller and she's leaning over Cindy, but she's also leaning a bit too far and close that Cindy has to bend backwards a little bit. Salt's got her hands in her labcoat's pockets while Cindy has her arms crossed. Salt's got a wide sneer on her face while Cindy seems annoyed.

HEAD EMPTY

My #art process is sophisticated and unknowable 😎 Ignore the reflections haha
Digital painting. Upper torso of Napoleon cut out from the famous painting: The Emperor Napoleon in His Study at the Tuileries (1812) by Jacques-Louis David. His head is removed, and my signature three-eyed glasses are floating above, where they would be sitting if my head was there. Inside the three eyes, you can see three reflections of me working on a canvas. I'm wearing an old tank top, plus my glasses. I have two paint brushes, one in my hand, another between my teeth. On the canvas behind me, is the painting of Napoleon again. This time his head is replaced by mine. The me in the painting also has the three eyed glasses.

Watch out for the freaks they're gonna get you! #art
Digital art. My sona staring at the screen, jaded, claws out! They're wearing a yellow-white-purple-black coat with long tails; underneath they have a pink and blue waistcoat with a white jabot; and mismatched blue and pink breeches.

#Art can save you.
Digital art. A humanoid character with a star for a head. He has one hand on their chest, and with the other they're reaching towards the viewer. He has a halo of light around his head, with brushes and pencils surrounding it.

A spineless artist is no artist #art
Digital art. A person standing viewed from the side. They're giving the camera a side eye. They're carrying a giant pencil on their shoulder. Resembling an Xray, their spine glows white. Text reads: "A spineless artist in no artist."

Scientific Breakthrough #art
Digital art. A featureless, grey person standing on a dark void. Their head glows bright yellow, and is surrounded by floating screwdrivers. Some of the screwdrivers appear to enter their skull, and from the invisible holes a bright purple liquid flows. They have a weirdly detailed, screaming mouth, and realistic eyes laid flat on their face. They're looking at the camera, with their hands on their head. They're wearing circular glasses, one eye purple, the other yellow. Previous image, close-up to the face.

Worry. #art #originalcharacter
Digital Art. A woman sitting on the floor on her knees. She's wearing a plain full-face mask, but she's lifting it up to reveal her face. From the side, she's looking at the camera with worry. Behind her is a whitw void with simple, pixelized drawings of colorful fish. Parts of the background are "ripped" to reveal what's behind: white and gray squares, the default digital texture used to represent transparency.

Me when I'm mean 😡 #ena #dreambbq #art
Digital art. Dream BBQ Ena in her Meanie form. She's got both hands raised, screaming angrily towards the viewer. The art is slightly abstracted, as the geometric parts of her, such as the body and right arm, are divided into pieces.
