Dusttale: Revived | Monster Kid Design Concept

Here is the design concept for Monster Kid or “MK”.

I added a height chart of Vani & Sans for comparison.

For context:

MK was dusted during the events of NPHRA (based off the wound, most likely by the human).

They were revived by Vani & became her assistant, albeit not a good one.

Vani & MK grew up together & were close friends.

As for why MK is half gray, I’ll let guys figure it out.

Dusttale: Revived | Vani & Sans Design Concepts

I’m going to be redrawing the past character designs, mainly to adjust their design & heights.

Anyway, here’s the design concepts of Vani (Dr. Serif) & Sans (Murder/Dust).

I drew 3: one showing their current design, one showing how they looked before (for Vani, it’s after the events of Dusttale, but it’s before the current design), & one showing off their body (sorry if the bodies look weird, skeletons are hard to draw).

For context: Vani is 5ft 7in, while Sans is 4ft 10in.

Dusttale: Revived | Character Concepts Pt.4

Here are my takes on the Gaster’s Followers.

They will play an interesting part in the story, along with an explanation for why they look & act the way they do. I’ll probably explain their backstory more when I post the “promo” art featuring them & a few others.

I want to give them other names besides “Gaster’s Follower 1, 2 &3”; I have a few ideas that I’ll be playing around with.

Follower 1

Follower 2

Follower 3

All 3 work alongside Dr. Serif, usually at least one of them is always by her side.

While their souls are still there, their vessels are no longer theirs to control. Their body, their smiles, their voices belong to him now.

—————————

Regarding their designs I’ll explain the following:

Follower 1 has a similar appearance to the Ficus Licker in the MTT Hotel. They always kind of looked like a gingerbread man, but I decided to give them a more alien-like appearance, who also looks starved or malnourished. Also their left arm got ripped off & absorbed by Subject BV1.2-004.09.

Follower 2 has a similar appearance to the scared donut guy in Hotland. I’ve seen many people draw them as a cat so I decided to do the same, specifically a bobcat or a bob-tailed cat. I decided to represent the face in their hand as a face in a mirror, while their head has a big smile. While all 3 are connected in a hive mind manner, this Follower acts like the main host or leader of the group.

Follower 3, while at first glance looks like a giant scary face, they have a similar silhouette to the stripped bird in Deltarune. I didn’t based them off a specific bird, but I did want to give them feathered legs & feet like some breeds of chickens. Also their neck can stretch to great lengths, like the Rokurokubi.

Upcoming Art Projects for Dusttale: Revived

This is more of a list of art projects I want to do for this AU, and get feedback from guys or even suggestions on what I can do better based off the past few slides.

This is the first time in a while that I’m actually excited for a big project.

*Side Note: As the story progresses & changes, I’ll post updated versions of past blogs for consistency & archive the old ones.

Alright so here is what is one the agenda (in no specific order):

Research & Character Notes

I’ve already posted a few of these, just gotta do it for the rest of the “Revivors” & the Survivors.

Story/Scene Character Art

Basically what I did with Asgore’s piece. Draw certain characters in certain scenes or situations that go along with the story or to showcase what they look like.

Character Reference Sheet

Character sheets…To see what they look like, simple as that.

Comic/Written Story

I’ll probably write the actual story first & then make a comic off it, or I might just say “screw it, I’m gonna do the comic first & hate my past self when I have to base the story around whatever I drew”. We’ll cross that bridge when we get there.

Multiverse Interactions

Yes I’ll be including other universes interacting or just observing this AU; it’s mainly gonna be the Bad & Star Sanses, but I might include a few others as non-canon interactions for fun.

Ask Blog (Maybe)

If this gets popular enough or I get a lot of questions, I might do an ask blog that the characters will answer or just be in some funny shenanigans.

“SUBJECT HAS BREACHED CONTAINMENT!!!”

Subject WP-DT1.7-001.12 Notes

Let’s see how far he’ll go this time.

He doesn’t remember who he is…

He doesn’t remember who he was…

He doesn’t remember where he’s going…

He doesn’t remember why he needs to run…

But he does remember one thing…

She lied…

Here’s a better look at Asgore without the shadow:

“He’s Escaping…” W.I.P.

Just another sneak peek that’s connected to the previous sneak peek.

A lil sneak peek of what’s (or rather who’s) next

Dusttale: Revived | Revivors W.I.P. (Another One)

I was gonna wait until I finish the notes & designs for some of the Revivors designs, but I really like how this one turned out.

So you guys get to have another sneak peek:

Here’s one with Azzy for height comparison:

I’m going to be doing the Dreemur Family (& a certain skeleton) first since I have a solid idea for their designs.

Dusttale: Revived | Revivors W.I.P.

The Revivors are the monsters who’ve been revived by the revised DT Injections v1.0-1.7.

Unfortunately there are some “unsightly” side effects.

I’m working on some of the Revivors now, who’ll be introduced in a similar fashion has the SOULs, but I might include some height sheets for reference for size differences between the characters.

Here’s a screenshot of one of the Revivors so far:

Also to explain why his ears look like that is because I’m basing him, Toriel & Vani off the Orobica Goat. Asgore is probably gonna be a different breed of goat.

Dusttale: Revived | Character Concepts Pt.3

Here are my takes on a froggit & a whimsun.

I’ve never drawn a frog-based character before, so sorry if the portions look weird. While for the froggit I didn’t based them off a specific frog, I based the whimsun off the Hummingbird Hawk Moth.

Hopscotch

Hopscotch, or Hoppy, works as the supply runner & delivery for the Underground. They deliver messages, food, or even resources for the DT injections.

Hoppy is down-to-earth & has a somewhat “southern” charm. While they’re unable to verbally understand what others are saying (& vice versa), they do understand the general vibe that the individual is saying. Though other froggits, amphibian-based & some insect-based monsters can understand each other relatively well.

Before anyone asks, Hopscotch is not “pregnant” with a tadpole, it’s much worse.

Wyllow

Wyllow “works” as extra eyes & hears for supply runners, mainly works with Hopscotch.

Wyllow is afraid of almost everything, probably their own shadow. If she gets spooked during a run, she’ll hide in Hoppy’s backpack or just run away if the bag is full. Though she does try to comfort others if they’re scared as well, but ends up just becoming a stuttering mess.

Some monsters will sometimes use her as a plushie due to how soft her fluff is.
