Here is the clothing rough draft of Nova, Bernard & Carter.
Nova
Bernard
Carter
The problem child this time was Nova, just couldn’t get any good ideas regarding clothes, I figured warm puffy clothes could work since space is cold.
Bernard & Carter were a bit easier since I just based their clothing off mafia attire. I was debating on drawing Carter in a flapper-like dress, but it just would match her personality.
I’m experiencing low motivation for drawing, but I’m still working on the clothing rough drafts.
However, I am gonna be adding more AU Variants of Neue. These variants won’t have a big impact on the story or none at all (at least for now), but I think they’ll be fun to draw.
Now a few of these AUs will be my own version/redesign, not because I don’t like the original concept, this is just my own spin on them.
Dancetale
-IDK what type of dance this Neue will have, since Toriel is Waltz & Sans is Hip-Hop.
-I could see him being one of these options:
•A combination of both
•Waltz or Hip-Hop, or some variation of them
•Something entirely unrelated to both
Birdtale
-While the original just has the characters have wings on their backs (& I’ve seen some with talon/clawed feet), I’m gonna up the “bird” characteristics a bit more.
-The arms will be replaced with wings & the lower parts of the legs will look like talons.
-The nose/top part of the mouth will vaguely look similar to a beak.
-They’ll be based off a species of birds or a combination of 2-3 birds.
•For this version of Neue, he’ll be based off the Himalayan Griffon & the Collared Scops-Owl.
Reapertale
-This version of Neue would be the “child” of Life & Death. IDK what the correct terminology would be for this, but they would “rule” represent the realm between life & death.
-Their name is Purgatory, which might change if I can find a more accurate name for this, & they would play an interesting rule for this AU.
•They would decide if a soul deserves a second at life or if they must pass on into the afterlife.
•This would mainly affect individuals who are in a comatose state, or if they died “too early”.
Oceantale
-While the original was based more on mythical creatures (with the exception of a few), I’m gonna based this Neue’s design off real life sea creatures.
-They could either be based off a singular sea creature, or a combination of 2-3 species.
•For this version of Neue, they’ll be based off the Leafy Seadragon, Lion’s Mane Jellyfish & the Whale Shark.
Angeltale
-The original was similar to appearance of Birdtale, with the characters just having wings on their backs. So I’m gonna change them to look similar to nightmare fuel that is the “biblical accurate angels”.
-They would have 2 forms:
•Their true form which would be the equivalent of “biblically accurate angels”.
•The “Be-Not-Afraid” form which would give them a more “normal” appearance similar to their Undertale counterpart with some angel-like features.
Deltarune
-You know I had to include this for funsies.
-In this AU, Neue would be the son of Sans & an unnamed individual, so his personality would be different.
-His name would be Neuton, & IDK what RPG class he would have yet in the Dark World.
Blank Template
-Now this would be an original AU (unless there’s an AU like this so please tell me if that’s the case).
-Basically everyone would be a blank template of each character:
•Basic Designs with little to no colors (I guess white would be considered a color).
•Bare minimum concept of powers & personality based off the original Undertale characters.
•Little to no facial/emotion expression unless near a large influence of raw emotion.
-This version of Neue would be named “Canvas” (like a blank canvas).
Please comment any suggestions/ideas for these or other AUs that I’m working on.
Here are of the clothing rough drafts for Miriam, Avenir, & Crimson.
Miriam
Avenir
Crimson
Avenir gave me the most trouble when creating his outfit, but Crimson was nostalgic since I based his coat off the one my great grandpa gave me.
I’m finally working on the rough drafts of clothes for Neue & his AU Variants.
Here are the clothing rough drafts for Neue, Roman, & Merriweather. (The colors used in the rough are used to differentiate certain pieces of clothing from each other, they’ll be colored differently in the final draft).
Neue
Roman
Merriweather
Just a little to mid effort drawing of Neue & Sans.
Idk why I made this, but it made me laugh.
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).
Here is the colored lineart of Quire, Mono, Styx, Mairanda, Eras, and Lucida.
Quire
Mono
Styx
Mairanda
Eras
Lucida
Here is the colored lineart of Nova, Bernard, Carter, Century, Vani, and Sabon.
Nova
Bernard
Carter
Century
Vani
Sabon
I’m working on the colors for the body, hair, horns, and eyes.
I’m gonna work on their clothes eventually, I have some ideas for a few of them, but I still have hard time drawing clothes.
Anyway, here are colored line arts of Neue, Roman, Merriweather, Miriam, Avenir, and Crimson.
Neue
Roman
Merriweather
Miriam
Avenir
Crimson
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?
Left->Right: Neue, Roman, Merriweather, Miriam, Avenir, Crimson
Left->Right: Nova, Bernard, Carter, Century, Vani, Sabon
Left->Right: Quire, Mono, Styx, Mairanda, Eras, Lucida
Some clarification, these 2 would be “cousins”, with one being the “son” of Dream and the other being the “daughter” of Nightmare.
These 2 are the last, for now, rough drafts for Neue AUs.
Their names are Eras and Lucida.
Here is Eras’s rough draft:
He is based off the Golden Guernsey Goat, and is the same height as Neue.
Here is Lucida’s rough draft:
She is based off the Aradi Goat, and is the same height as Merriweather.
Some design elements that aren’t shown:
-Eras will have butterfly wings, while Lucida will have moth wings; both mainly seen during battle.
I have a few ideas of what they can represent:
-Day & Night -or- Sun & Moon
-Harmony/Order & Discord/Chaos
-Both can represent a specific feeling/emotion:
•Ex: Joy/Excitement/Hope & Anger/Despair/Fear
I tried to make their horns look like the “crowns” that Dream and Nightmare has/had.
This variant’s name is “Mairanda”.
Here is the rough draft:
She is based off the Icelandic Goat.
She’s a bit shorter than Avenir.
I would imagine that her, Avenir, and Century are somewhat close and act as mentors to Merriweather and Miriam, along with each other.
Epic Neue’s name is “Styx”, is based off the font called “STX”.
Here is the rough draft:
He is based off the Garganica Goat.
He’s a bit taller than Mono, and his hair is about lower back length.
This XNeue’s name is “Mono”.
Here is the rough draft:
He is based off the Bagot Goat.
He’s over an inch taller than Neue, and I decided to make his horns look like a “X” cause “X Tale”.
I didn’t know what to do with his pupils so I just did a X in one and a + in the other.
He’s a nervous boi.
winter form bunny!!!
(He/him) 🐇🏳️⚧️✨
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*
I think the AU is called “Something New”, but it’s the one with Killer Sans.
This version is named “Sabon”.
Here is the rough draft:
He is based off the Tennessee Fainting Goat.
He’s an inch or 2 shorter than Roman, and he has a rat tail hairstyle.
For future reasons, you are legally allowed to hate this variant; I’ll go more in depth on his character sheet, but his personality is similar to that of Kokichi Oma from Danganronpa V3 or simply like Flowey from Undertale.
Dust Neue’s name is “Vani”.
Here is the rough draft:
She is based off the Orobica Goat.
She’s a bit shorter than Neue, and I based her hair off the beta/pilot design of Luz from Owl House.
I know that realistically, she would not exist in this universe (for obvious reasons), but basically she lives because of magic plot armor which I’ll explain on her character sheet.
I decided to draw an alternate version of Neue for TS!Underswap cause I like the demo that was made for this AU, I also like the character designs (especially Crossbones).
I also thought that this AU was pronounced “Tsunderswap” like “Tsundere”, I can’t unsee it.
This version is named “Century”.
Here is the rough draft:
He is based off the Bilberry Goat.
He’s a bit taller than Avenir, and his hair is in a very loose ponytail.
I didn’t mean to make his expression look like he’s having an existential crisis, but it also lines up with his character.
I can’t decide if I want her name to be “Rozha” or “Carter”. I guess one could be an alter alias.
Here is the rough draft:
She’s based off the Australian Cashmere Goat.
She’s about an inch or 2 taller than Roman; her hair used to be to longer, but decided to cut it for her side job (and to be spiteful towards her parents).
Mafiatale Neue’s name is “Bernard”.
Here is the rough draft:
He’s based off a Sarda Goat.
He’s only an inch taller than Neue, and his hair is in a partial ponytail, he also has a few chipped teeth.
*Random Question: Is it Mafiatale or Mobtale?*
Outertale Neue’s name is “Nova”, based off a font and “Super Nova”.
Here is the rough draft:
He’s based off the Zhongwei Goat, there was one that had a coat similar to dreads so I based his hair off that.
He’s around/same height as Neue, and he usually has his eyes closed.
He’s a sweepy boi.
Horrortale Neue’s name is “Crimson”.
Here is the rough draft:
He is based off the Dutch Landrace Goat.
He is the 2nd tallest, with the 1st being Reapertale, and is taller than Avenir.
His portions are a bit funky, but I’ll fix that in his reference sheet.
*Note: I forgot to explain that these are just rough bases for the body, which will be used as reference for creating their character sheets.*
For context, I’m referring to the Fellswap Gold AU.
Fellswap Neue’s name is “Avenir”.
Here is the rough draft:
He’s based off the Valais Blackneck Goat.
He’s taller and a bit lankier than Neue, however the horns he has are fake. His situation is a bit similar to Roman (Underfell Neue).
I’m gonna be doing both Swapfell and Fellswap since I really like both of them.
Swapfell Neue’s name is “Miriam”.
Here is the rough draft:
She is based off a Pygmy Goat, which means she’s really short. She’s actually the shortest of the AU Neues.
*Note: The names might change in the future*
The name for Underswap Neue is “Merriweather”.
Here is the rough draft of Merri:
She’s based off a Finnish Landrace Goat, which the females do have horns.
In case it’s not obvious, this version of Neue (along with most of any swap au) is female. The lower goat half will extend to the chest area, causing the upper chest/shoulder area to become opaque to transparent instead of the stomach area.
She’s taller than Roman, but shorter than Neue.
I forgot to mention, but the reason they don’t have any clothing yet is because I want to complete off the body designs and I’m still thinking about what they would wear, so any suggestions are welcomed.
I also might change the mouth designs when I do a reference sheet for the variants.
Neue will have a different name in each universe to help differentiate from each other, so Underfell Neue will be called “Roman”.
Here is the Rough Draft:
So I based this version off a Pygora Goat, which is a bit shorter than an Angora Goat.
Roman’s hair is definitely more unkempt than Neue’s, his horns are more outward than upward, he’s also shorter and thicker than Neue.
There’s one bit of information that I’m still debating on, but if you look at his design you might be able to figure it out.
