Papyton Week Day 5: Boots

“Lady Toriel tells us both that we ought to enjoy the moments when there are three sets of boots at the door instead of just two. I, for one, do not need to be told, and I know that Russ doesn't need to be either. We'll foster him for as long as he wishes to be fostered. For as long as he wishes to be ours, for as long as three sets of boots are at the door, I will cherish it." ***** Hi! I made art today.

The young dude in the picture is Oliver. He's a 23 year old college kid that Papyrus and Mettaton sort of mentor? ... adopted? It's complicated. But, they're definitely the folks he considers his folks more than his biological parents. Sometimes he stays at their apartment when he's not with his girlfriend, and those days make the two of them super happy. That's about all you need to know about him.

(I feel like I'm fifteen again. XD)

I had hella fun drawing this. I drew it on bristol paper. So, the colors didn't quite catch on my camera the way they do in person. It looks a little over exposed for some reason? (Also, Mettaton is actually silver, so he sparkles.)

I don't draw all that often because I don't have a lot of time. I whipped this up in a couple of interrupted hours this evening.

So, if the shading and stuff looks rough, it is.

That said, I love how Papyrus turned out. I've tried drawing him a billion times and I feel like I can just never get him quite right.

And, my LORD, I feel like I finally have Mettaton in the correct balance between "hardcore punk" and "colorful popstar." The septum piercing is what he was missing. I still think I can play with his cheekbones and jawline a little. (I should have pulled up some reference pictures, but I didn't have time.)

Okay, I'm sleepy. I'm signing off for today. Toodles!
