Undertale - Pet dogs and date a skeleton!

Oh hey, mask talk! I'm making a sans mask right now. :) I did paper mache over a punch-balloon that had a string tied around the center to get the appropriate shape. It was a bit of a pain to get started, but it's working out really well! You can check my twitter (piraticalartist) for progress pictures.

 

15 attempts and the wily bastard is still moving. Can't run forever though.

 

Okay, I did my first round tonight. Normal run, ultimately.

Spoiler

I spared Asgore to read Flowey's speech, then quit, redid it it, and killed both Asgore and Flowey to compare any differences in his speech. I spared everyone else, but didnt bother befriending Undyne or Alphys.

Also, I highly recommend calling PAPYRUS as soon as you can. His reaction when he realizes you're calling for help in getting out of his room is amusing. ...Idk why autocorrect capslocked his name, but I'm leaving it.

 

the painting is not the problem, I genuinely love doing facepaints.
I was gonna do the eyes so they're lid-makeup, aka closed eye photoshoot :P
that leaves me free to construct the mask as hard, leaving the lower part of my face mostly unrestricted (sans' talk sprite doesn't have a moving mouth so I can just make the mask so it goes relatively flat in front of my mouth and get the ventilation from below) I'm basically mostly wondering about how to construct the dome of the skull in a way that I could shove my hair in
(I could do papermache, but I'm lazy, it's extremely messy and I wanted to try thermoplasts anyway :P)

 

Attempt 18. Made it as far as him telling me I should die if I don't want to see his special attack. Current run is going rather well. I hope I don't fuck it up. But even if I do I am getting closer and better. Push will come to shove.

 

Not sure how you would do the dome of the skull reall in a way that you can shove hair in there. Not unless you get into resin casting and sculpting which can be seriously expensive.

 

Oh no I finally saw the end of the pacifist run and oh no my feels

 

The metal cover guy did another metal cover! The style sounds really good with Asgore's theme.

Spoiler: genocide run, hax help?

In other news, this genocide run is turning out to be a lot easier than I thought, emotionally. It might be because I did a violent neutral run immediately before, but I think it's mostly because the game gives you a lot more character prompts. From what I've heard, the genocide-protagonist is possessed by the spirit of the original fallen child, and that really shows in the changed dialogue and the red text. Basically, it's more like you're playing a character who already exists in a genocide run, whereas in a neutral run it's all you and the choices that you, as a person, make. You're not killing, you're roleplaying as a killer.

Which isn't to say that it's not hard at all. Toriel's and Papyrus's deaths got me right in the feels ;_; And I got chills from sans's "you're gonna have a bad time." And the little stuff that you weren't expecting, like the thing with the snowman, is even worse.

Right now though, what I'm having trouble with is Undyne the Undying. I've gotten pretty good at dodging bullets, but not that good. I don't think I can make it past her, and if I can't get past her then I really can't get past sans, and I badly want to see this run through, so... does anyone know how to mess with the game's files to give myself ridiculous hp for just one battle? I tried poking around a little myself, but I don't even know what I'm looking for, lol

 

I am consistently reaching the second half of the last fight of geno run. And with most of my healing shit. What's more I'm tending to reach the last round. And the last attack of the last round.

I need to stop wasting my fucking pie. If I can just get into the last round with like 70 health at least I should be able to make it.

Attempt 26, I believe. I am really liking this fight a lot. I liked it the first time around but now that I'm getting better at it I like it even more. There is a lovely pace and tone to the whole thing and it's very satisfying to really get patterns down.

 

How much hair do you have, exactly? I've found that in a lot of cases the best solution is just a really strong wig cap. It's amazing how much hair you can fit under those things.

 

Hello! Popping in to say that my sister and brother are doing Sans and Papyrus cosplay for Halloween. They are planning on bald caps and face paint for heads. *shrug*
(We are not the most professional of cosplayers can you tell?)

 

Cross-posting from the Craft nerd herd thread to brag about the art I worked on over the last two days: our friend Flowey! :D

Spoiler: One piece of advice I'd rather not ask in my spoiler-free other post

Do you think it would be best if I reduce the colors of his stem to be flatter and less vivid? That way the yellow petals will stand out more, which is better for their significance...

 

...Toriel makes some great faces if you walk into the basement repeatedly.

 

...so, turns out you have to completely clear out Hotlands/Core before engaging Mettaton in genocide mode, otherwise you revert to neutral. This message has been brought to you by I &@**!#%! hecked up and saved over it and now i have to start over fuck everything aaaaaaaaaaghh

 

Spoiler: what have i done

i watched this thing

 

*facepalms* why did I not consider a wigcap. I have like five wigcaps just lying around the house because I own so many wigs. I am such a dumbdumb

But! that means I just gotta measure gud and make the face mask with a bit of wiggle-room (and some way to put it on would be great...errrr I need to properly draw this out on paper)

 

I am staring at the Halloween Hack/Press the B Button and know that I should play it. I also wonder how many people will be introduced to it through Undertale. The Halloween Hack being Toby's Earthbound romhack and the origin of Megalovania.

Also if you guys haven't you need to play the Mother series because. You just. Do.

 

I'm gonna try and cosplay Frisk! Ending Pacifist/Neutral run Frisk, so I'll try and get a glowy heart necklace (maybe this one? it's a bit expensive but it's got good reviews) and a worn-looking fake knife in addition to a wig and a stripy shirt and stuff.

 

I'm 4:35 in and I am so glad you watched this thing, so that I could watch this thing.
