Hey Syllll! Long time, no chat! I just wanted to get this off my chest before i go ham trying to figure out what i wanna commission from you soon.

I have been reading Undersource for years now, and i think we've both come a long way since then! God, that feels weird to say, i'm not even old enough to drink yet lmao. But! I am old enough to spend my money responsibly now, which is nuts given that my responsible spending is now aimed at getting art of my blorbos LOL.

You've grown as an artist so much since i first started reading- i think that was around... the pirate arc? Not sure! But i do remember the early days of me having discord, during the EKD server category era. But anyways, i know the way you drew our favorite skeletons was different back then, and it's all gotten so much smoother in that time. You're also (at least seemingly) taking way better care of yourself! You've set boundaries, you've set more time for yourself and not the blog, and you're still happily chugging along, after all these years. Not to mention you're working on this side story now, which i'm fairly certain you've been looking forward to for a while.

How's that sleeping though? Do you still have the sleep cycle of an austalian? Can't say i'm any better, im slowly becoming nocturnal again lol. Some things NEVER change.

Anyways. All this to say: im really proud to have been part of this little community for so long. To see the comic and its artist come so far. Even if im not a diehard fan anymore, im glad i can still take a little time every weekend to realize "OH, U/S shoulda updated!" and run over here. Thanks for giving me a good starting point of community on this god damned hellsite.

(Here's to sleepy 5 am "you're great" asks LMAO)

sjksdhLKSDJFHG THIS IS SUCH A SWEET MESSAGE OMG-

Hi Azzy! :D I'm glad you still like my work even after all this time! Thank you for sticking around! :D

I have been taking better care of myself these days! I'm (only sometimes begrudgingly XD) going on daily walks (Pikmin Bloom is really helping with that, I love Pikmin they're so cute), and made some new friends! When I first started this blog I was convinced I had to constantly/frequently produce content, and I time went on I slowly realized that wasn't really viable, so I slowly trimmed down the workloads for better manageability, I'd say it's helped a lot! Even if it may not look like it sometimes XD

There was a point before I adjusted my work schedule where I figured out that I may have been riding a creative burnout for a long while, as when I looked back it felt like my work had begun to visually stagnate. I think at the time I was cramming working on the comic update across only 3 or 4 days (Wednesday/Thursday to Saturday mornings, sometimes down to the wire), with several hours of just constant work (plus any distractions and 3 daily asks) because I was procrastinating so badly X'D I'm still recovering from the visual stagnation, but I'm definitely trying to experiment where I can! I may not be the best at it but I hope I'm improving at least ksjdghLSDGH My current schedule is MUCH more spaced out and much more manageable, spanning Sunday to Friday and broken down into stages for each day, and Saturdays are my designated day off~

As for the side story, it's one I've had around for quite a while and have been excited to finally show off! There were a few people who were interested in it when it was first teased, though I've no idea if they're still around, if they are I hope they're enjoying the story so far as well! 💜

Oddly enough my sleep schedule is no longer on Cthulhu Standard Time SKSDJGHDLG We had a TON of construction going on in the house the past few months and it was way too awkward to sleep with a bunch of strangers either being in or near my room, as well as making a LOT of noise sjkdhgLKSDJG There was a brief section of time where I'd actually go to bed at a "normal" time and get up at like, 9 or 10 am X'D Though it's slowly sneaking it's way into afternoons to 3 or 4 AM after I feed the kitties, kinda like my old college schedule XD

Thank you again for liking my work and sticking around! I really appreciate it!! :D

I may not be anywhere near whatever my "peak" was a few years ago, but I'm still happy to keep going for those who still come around! 💜

You love making cp defeat the rules of panels eh ? X'D just- i think we're all in an agreement, it's mutual. Very.

I'm glad people are amused by the border and panel shenanigans XD

They're fun to come up with and are only sometimes hard to pull off! dsgkjHSDLGKJ

Heya sly how are you doing?

Doing alright! Just waiting on the first ever official batch of charms to arrive~

Once those are all set up I'll probably look into making charms of other fandoms and media as well, I have a few idea but I'll put them in a poll and open it up to other suggestions as well!

hallo!! i have a class where i get to work on a single, big independent project and i’m planning on making a comic. under/source has been one of my favorites for a long time so i was just wondering how you started out making it and the process and any tips etc etc. my teacher said a 22-page series would suffice and i have ibispaint and procreate at my disposal. thanks!! <3<3

Avatar

dskjgLSKDJ A! I'm honored!

The way I started everything was more or less I forced myself to sit down and work on it, cuz I knew if I didn't I would procrastinate it into oblivion and never start it-

First I make sure I have the plot figured out and scripted out so drawing the scenes goes (relatively) smooth, always keep in mind rewrites can be done at ANY stage if needed! If I get stuck somewhere or need to think, often I'll get up and pace around the room just thinking. If I get REALLY stuck then I'll leave the section alone to return to it later and continue writing other scenes.

For the drawing stage, personally I break down the process amongst multiple days, having a schedule to stick to REALLY helps me X'D I use Clip Studio myself so my process may differ a bit.

  • Day 1: The roughest sketch imaginable, where the pages are planned out in the loosest, stick figured sketches for basic planning
  • Day 2: Find and place any assets I may need in the pages, like new brushes or objects, models/posing, etc
  • Day 3: Rough sketch time, where the stick figures actually become something I can turn into line art
  • Day 4: Line art day, where I usually complete all the line art and some other character details
  • Day 5: Coloring day, I do ALL the coloring for both the characters and the backgrounds, and finish any other character details
  • Day 6: Everything else because posting is in a few hours! XD, any background shading/modifications, character shading/modifications, the borders, text, and any other FX or details
  • Day 7: Day off, either a complete day off or a day 100% reserved for doing any other work (commissions, other comic work/projects, etc)

That's more or less my full process! Some steps can definitely be consolidated into less days but this seems to work best for my brain XD Good luck on your project! 💜

Syl... What the bloody hell are you playing at? Are you deliberately trying to make us think the Maecros ships is a yes? Is Necros actually in love, but doesn't know it? Or... Is it someone else? If so, who the bloody hell stole Necros' heart from Blue Boi?!

sdgjHLSDKGJJ- Well I mean- It could perhaps be entirely possible-

In terms of Maestro, I think it's probably blatantly clear where he stands XD

Necros however is a little more...complex? With him, as I'm sure it's painfully obvious by now, he's romantically dense XD It's just not something that actively crosses his mind is all, that and he doesn't think it's something the universe would let him have. But he's in no way opposed to the idea! Though despite all his denseness it's still clear he's a very affectionate person with those he cares about.

Althooouuugh, recent subtle comic events may hint at some new...developments, shall we say~ :>

Avatar

I have gone down a rabbit hole of comparing the source skelliebois to the other sanses and now I want to know if Necros and error could bond over sewing and knitting stuff maybe Necros making some fashionable puppets as a peace offering idk

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Syl's Response:

Canon Error probably not, as he's generally a man-baby who throws tantrums and hates other outcodes XD Fanon Error maybe? People have gone wild on actually developing his character and giving him some semblance of thought/emotion and rationality.

I've always wanted to get around to drawing little scenarios one day, like mini 1-4 panel comics of like incorrect quotes or scenarios with other people's characters. Been thinking about reworking my weekly posting schedule again so I can allocate more time for additional projects, but we'll see.

How would you link undersource to underverse?

Avatar

Interesting! I do love me a good "what if" scenario~

There's always the simple "stumbled across the U/S crowd amidst the chaos and now they want to help with the situation" way, seeing as the multiverse is their home as well.

Alternatively there's always the more involved direction of having a character go "I know where we can get help" and segway into an introduction that way, plus establishing a relationship between characters.

Though with how the plot is currently going and assumed already very laid out, I highly doubt Jakei's looking to add anymore newcomers XD That and I'm not anywhere near popular enough for something as cool as Underverse sdkjSLGKJS

Wait is DT goopy like nootmare what does he feel like what’s the texture is he slimy is he unnaturally smooth does he feel like plastic my godless brain needs answers

Avatar

Y'know I've never really thought about it- skjgslHKSDJHGG

I suppose he'd be smooth?? He's not naturally a goopy/sticky boi, but being a shapeshifter he probably could be if he wanted!

A question I never thought I'd need an answer for XD

Avatar

Why do I feel like Hacker took the form of a Papyrus and offered a Sans some DT pills with some extra kick? Likely LV… can see it overwhelming the soul of the Sans until it made the adorable Maniac we see today?

Wrong inhabitant implies that the body was that of a sans but the soul/content is that of DT… a being that is Pure Determination, and his mention of being unable to fight off the “Intent To Kill” means he identifies as such… and intent to kill is LoVe. Level of Violence… his ability to meddle with souls is absolutely fascinating as is his seemingly lack of morals.

*Offers a box of a dozen Raspberry White Chocolate cookies from Subway to the adorable menace*

This is so well thought out!~

We'll definitely get more into DT's backstory eventually~

Hey can I have a reference sheet for CP, I need to make fanart of him to spite someone? :3

Avatar

sdghKSDJG well I don't have an official sheet made but I do have a collection of images that should hopefully do the job?

One day I'll manage to make actual reference sheets for all the U/S characters X'D

Necros: Writhing on the floor Kah: Playing quietly in the other room. Fi: Sleeping? Maestro: Trying not to think about strangling CP. CP: FreakingOut.exe DT: Wondering if this place is pet friendly. Vi: … Hacker: ???
