#Catacombtale

[spotaus]

Once upon a time I had an AU where Ichor ended up working with Nightmare, and I wanted to do some doodles for it!

I think that Nightmare only puts up w/ Ichor in this because Ichor still has his Godly powers, and being God of Punishment really helps pull in more negativity. Also, Ichor's more unhinged in this AU because his AU was destroyed. Here he really has it out for the "good guys" because they're trying to keep Balance. (In his AU, the God of Balance gave him so much grief and suffering.)

Also, he'd be unafraid to step between his co-workers disputes. Hense him scruffing Killer and holding back Dust in the second doodle.

If Night is Dadmare, Ichor is like a weird Uncle who's bumming on their couch and teaching them gambling games.

Also, shout-out to shadowed-hood and hat Dust designs, because I'm adopting that as a side-headcanon. It's really fun to draw!

Redraw (resketch?) Of an old wip sketch of my Catacomb!Muffet I found in an old sketchbook.

Obviously it's an improvement cuz the first one's just a sketch, but man do I miss drawing Moneybags over here.

Extra old sketches hehe:

My newest and oldest Sans in the same image??? Woag...

Anywho, Pretender is my newest guy, and Ichor is my oldest! Just thought it'd be fun! Plus, I wanna doodle Ichor more again. I always think he'll be harder to draw than he is lmao-

Ichor Moment! (He's so silly!)

I just love drawing him, he's the blorbo that stays in my head and rolls back up front sometimes lol. I can't picture things in my head, and yet his design is forever and forever imprinted into my muscle memory ♡

N and Ichor in the same environment once more. (They do not like eachother 👀)

N is my skele-sona, and she's pretty much just an omen of bad news in the multiverse. Whenever they show up, it's a sign that sonething's gonna happen (and N revels in the knowledge that their presence is a source of discomfort). In particular, she loves to trail Ichor around, since he's the Favorite of the multiverse. He hates the attention, because it usually up-ends his story. Also, N is annoying an antagonistic.

Hey folks! I'm Spotty, I'm an artist just doin' art things! I go by any pronouns (<- nb/a-gender/general gender tom-foolery) and I'm Ace. I've got this side-blog running for UTMV posts I wanna reblog, as well as my personal art for old projects! I don't go here as much as I once did, but utaus were a huge part of my artistic journey so uhhhh, I'm still kickin'.

If ya want to see my art, check #Spot!Drawn

Yes, I do take Requests, and they are Open

This blog is a Side Account! If you are followed by @spotlightstudios that is me! We might be mutuals, but it only shows properly on my end :')

[Info about Projects, AUs, and OCs below the cut!]

Projects:

If you see me posting about these, they're personal projects! (Usually a solo-act, but a few have co-creators.)

#Eternal Ashes is a 2nd Gen story about the ship-children of the Multiverse! Kane, elder son of Reaper and Geno, is killed in a battle between the Star Sanses and Night's Gang. This send the multiverse into a forced truce to avoid more crossfire killing, and Reaper's wrath... Only, Reset, Reaper and Geno's younger son, isn't satisfied with his brother's death. He and Orchid (daughter of Error and Nightmare) team up to bring Kane back to life, and end up settling into motion a multiverse-wide murder spree that spans years.

#DoppleTale is an AU I finally brought to existence recently. The monsters of the underground are all shapeshifters who fed on human flesh, until they were locked away in the mountain. With Humans becoming rarer by the day the monsters feast on Monster Candy and practice desperately to perfect their human disguises (which only get worse the less they remember what humans look like). <- This story is #Pretender!Sans 's origin au!

#Catacombtale is the oldest remaining AU that I have. It follows the story of a Human Hero who is sent to the catacombs of Mt. Ebbott to face the gods trapped within. Of course, sone if the gods are helpful, others can't forgive humanity for dethroning them. (Most of the story is pre-entrapment lore, with worldbuilding and a focus on #Ichor!Sans, my special-est tired old immortal guy who loves mortals more than he should on every given occassion.)

#Ec4o.verse is a multiverse world (kingdomtale style?) where the earth, in a stage of Robot/Monster/Human co-existance suddenly went into a war. It wiped out a lot of people and places, and sent the world into chaos. Ec4o.verse follows Blue, a young mechanic (Techie) who's skilled in the old ways of robot repair and creation, uncovering the secrets of what started the war he's known all his life. (<- This one is both my pfp, and I draw dustedafterdeath for it pretty regularly.)

And for the record:

Yes, I do takes requests (They're currently open! Send me an Ask w/ an AU, Oc (<-with ref), or UTDR character!) but I don't always actually complete them. Motivation as a uni student is few and far between.

Yes, you can draw my ocs. I don't think anyone would, but you're welcome to if you get the urge! Just, be sure to tag me! (And obviously don't claim them as your own. That'd be shitty.)

Yes, I do chat. I'm a very anxious person, tho. If you start a conversation or tag response or smth, I'll be ecstatic!

Yes, I have apparently developed a trend to draw dtiys challenges? Idk, found this one funny, but I love the way they function + it gives me a chance to draw everyone's wonder ocs or poses or interpretations of things!

This blog is (as far as I know) going to remain SFW. I don't intend on reblogging nor creating graphic content, especially not of these god damn skeletons, so this is more or less a safe space 👍

Idk how we feel about these here on tumblr, but we'll see lol. I took a screenshot of Underverse 0.6 and drew two of my blorbos in the background ♡

Mostly just a low-effort style-test to see if I could replicate that beloved Underverse art-style, hehe.

Og Image!

And Underverse is by @/jakei95

Ichor and... Ichor!

Say hello to the OG (Ichor Sans) and his undertale-removed version (Ichor, God of Punishment)!!! Ichor's always been special to me, and redrawing him felt like a good plan for today ♡

[spotlightstudios]

Coda Dexter:

Human protagonist of Codex, my lil project that's a transfer of Catacombtale into a non-undertale au!

Coda is a human raised in a Steampunk-era society where every year children are checked for signs of an old plague. It twists minds and causes mania in children. Coda went 17 years of their life w/o any sign of this plague, but the week before the yearly checks, they suddenly found themselves with a symbol carved across the base of their throat, and were plagued with horrible visions.

In an attempt to evade being picked-off for their sudden signs of plague, they flee the city and seek out the location they saw in their visions. A Catacomb carved into the mountain range to the west.

(They're the chosen one of Balance, and by the time they can leave the Catacombs, Balance has unwilling shaped them into a disciple. Hense the third design.)

Balance:

The God credited with setting off the creation of the others. He could even be called a Titan if so desired.

After the wars that sealed away the divine powers in the Catacombs, Balance simply disappeared. None of the others were able to find him, no matter what they tried.

Balance left his isolation when he sensed Coda. He claimed them as his chosen one and lured them down into the Catacombs to restore order to the gods before they set them free.

(Balance was initially a griffin, but @neonsix67 mentioned he looked like a secretary bird and it just... yeah.)

Judgement:

The God of, well, the Judgement of the Dead. Whether a soul went to the eternal punishment or moved on peacefully was his decision. He was brought into existence alongside Death, a few millenia after Balance was conscious.

Judgement quickly found a fascination in the mortals, and found himself picking sides often in conflicts and deaths. It was often that he'd condemn a person to punishment without looking deeper into their life to see if they were actually deserving of it. This often left Balance to punish him.

He and Balance have a large quarrel once where Judgement took Balance's eyes and left the large scar across his face. This argument was what inevitably led Balance to the decision to split Judgement into two new gods, wiping his existence from the pantheon. (Judgement split into Punishment/Ichor and Reward.)

Reward:

The God of Rewards in the afterlife. He simply knows where and when to guide mortals onto whatever they desire in the afterlife. He's very enthusiastic about his work, but rarely cares for the souls of those he guides, rather preferring to simply transport them before returning to his home and brother.

Like Punishment, Reward is a fish-based humanoid. He's a betta of sorts, and the more souls he moves on, the brighter colors he'll present.

(Reward and Punishment are both ornamental fish. Betta and Koi respectively. When Balance molded them from Judgement's left-overs, he chose to make them less dangerous creatures in nature. They merely performed the task and made no choices about the deaths themselves.

Ah yes. Chance.

Trying to force myself to get used to drawing him like this, and I might do some concept-colors on my way home later. ✨️

#light's spot #my art #oc #sketch #wip #Chance #Catacombtale #gotta figure out his proportions #cuz he's actually high-key important lmao

[spotlightstudios]

Thinking about the time that Chance (God of Chance and The Hearth) disguised as his own decendant so he could work at his own casino w/o being harassed.

Also about how his "cousin" got a lil too cocky and punched him after hours for smth he did on the clock. And the following horror for her as Chance's nose-bleed was golden and his flames momentarily appeared along his skin. When he hurriedly covered it up and rushed off, still *acting* like Chance, but clearly acknowledging the new divide between them because she knew.

And especially how nothing came of it. She never told anyone. Chance never brought it up again. Their relationship was just never the same though, because he was a God, and she was a mortal, and she couldn't accept that he could truly think of her as family again after what she did.

#light's spot #oc #Chance #Catacombtale #this one was a lil drabble of Chance's adventures before Judgement was split #he's the side-blorbo from this story that I adore :D

[spotlightstudios]

After being caught by mortals, Ichor was desperate. He'd been stolen away from Emil and his family, and couldn't do a single thing about it. He'd been revealed to his kingdom and his people for the monster he was. For the God he was.

He was a creature, and he'd been caged by enemy soldiers.

Already half-way across the continent, he'd been locked away and cut off from all communications. The other gods. The world. He knew nothing.

And along with that, his captors were testing the limits of his godly power. He could be injured and damaged, tortured, without any sort of repercussions to his captors. He was amassing scars and losing himself.

Then when he was finally brought back into the daylight, things had changed. The mortals looked different, a lot of time had passed, their weapons were more powerful and deadly.

They held him in place, and he was forced to watch as they snuffed out minor gods, one by one. He must've been locked up for ages, seeing how many gods had been captured in his wake. He couldn't help them, couldn't even save himself.

The roar of the crowd, the cheers of the mortals. It was disgusting. Yet he couldn't feel rage. The same reason he loved the mortals was the one that brought him here. Their capability was endless, each one unique and powerful. They could change. Unlike the gods. All he felt was sorrow.

So when all was done, they dragged him off and loaded him into a cart. He didn't even bother fighting back when they dragged him out into the sunlight and dropped him on the grass.

It wasn't until he was brought back into a dark area that he brought himself back and realized that he was with the other gods. His brother was holding him, trying to get through to him. Chance was there, a warm comforting hand on his back.

He could only cling to his brother and shudder.

It was only a few days later that he'd learn of the Gods losing the war and being sealed away in the very catacombs their followers once used to take refuge. Now few worshippers remained, and the gods were nearly powerless. Ichor most of all.

#light's spot #tw death #oc #Ichor #Catacombtale #this is one of my favorite parts of his story #cuz it's right after he's finally been content with Emil for years. #they have a family and a stable life #he doesn't have to deal with godly politics as long as he keeps up with his duties #then he's taken #he never gets to come back #he never sees Emil or his children again #they know he's been caught and horrible things are happening #but he doesn't know #for a long time he believes they blame him for bring too weak to escape #to protect them #then when he gets returned to tye other gods #they were all hiding away on the mountain this whole time #they existed in a perfect bubble still #and it's only a minor disturbance to their long existence #but for Ichor it changed everything #and the other gods don't understand his change #only Reward and Chance understand #Reward because they're brothers and he knows Ichor too well #and Chance because he lost Judgement who was the most important person in *his* life #it's just so much fun to dissect!!!
