#Zarla is so cool

[ick-aruss]

Me and my best friend (@thatone-ranboofan996) absolutely adore the Handplates comic by @zarla-s. It was a big part of both our childhoods so I decided to try drawing us in their style and how we'd look in the story!

The plot behind why there would be humans being tested instead of just taking their souls to cross the barrier is mainly based around gasters insecurities. Two humans go on a hike and fall down Mount Ebott. They travel through the ruins and end up staying with toriel for a while because she's awesome and sweet. They later leave but as soon as they do they're caught on alphys' cameras and she immediately tells gaster.

In this side timeliness we imagined that gaster was worried that the two souls wouldn't be enough and since he had already created paps and sans, gaster thought that if he could study the human souls then he could figure out how to better them and combine a human and a monster soul to make it a more powerful singular soul. Of course alphys is confused on where the humans went but gaster wipes the cameras and lightly gaslights her. I am also 93% sure he'd love the opportunity to get revenge on the humans

I am also unsure how Zarla feels about aus of her au but if she doesn't like them I will take this post down

Projected Timeline: Handplates AU by @zarla-s

I have currently written 16 or so pages of Handplates. By the the time first upload rolls around, I'll have at least 20.

So, hopefully, I intend to upload the first TEN PAGES of Handplates on Monday, April 29 2024.

I intend to upload one or two pages twice weekly: Every Monday and every Thursday.

So, as a recap: First upload will be Monday the 29th, and will be 10 pages long. after that, the next upload will be Thursday and only one page.

I will be reblogging to original panel with my transcript added underneath, but you can also find the text without the images on my AO3, Basil-Thoth (Link here: https://archiveofourown.org/users/Bacchus_Basil/pseuds/Basil-Thoth )

Hello everyone.

A very long time passed since I last posted something in this place.

I am a huge Handplates fan, so I thought it would have been cool to do a fanart about it.

So much has happened since I started reading this comic for the first time some years ago, and now the story is getting more and more interesting every time.

It is truly a fantastic job what Zarla has done, both from an artistic point of view but especially in terms of storyline and characterization.

Hope you like this little tribute @zarla-s <3 And that everyone who observes it will enjoy my art.

I used IbisPaint x, and this artwork took me 3 hours of my time.

Enjoy!

Top 5 fictional characters who make the WORST decisions? You can pick a specific medium (video games, books, TV shows etc) if the list is too long!

Oh, man, I love so many characters who make bad decisions! This is going to be tricky.

I'm not sure whether your question was 'who are your five favourite characters who make terrible decisions?' or 'of your favourite characters, which five make the worst decisions?', so I'll give you two lists.

Five terrible decision-makers who I love, emphasis on 'who I love':

Sean Diaz from Life Is Strange 2. Look, I cannot blame this kid for going on the run with his nine-year-old brother. He was panicking, the police were coming, and a police officer had just ruined his entire life, so naturally he was unwilling to stick around and encounter more of them. It was a deeply understandable decision, but it was nonetheless a decision that fucked a lot of things up.

Ellie from The Last of Us. I started loving Ellie in the first game, which was before she started making really terrible decisions. But I still love her after her desperate 'if I kill enough people, I'll feel better, right? right???' quest of the second game, and that definitely means she qualifies for this list.

Jack Shephard from Lost. Jack is a grieving, angry, unstable mess who's been thrown into a leadership position when he's barely clinging onto any form of reason with his fingernails. He has a lot of intense feelings, a gigantic saviour complex, poor self-control and no ability to delegate. Everything he does is a) guaranteed to blow up in his face and b) absolutely fascinating to me.

James Sunderland from Silent Hill 2. Look, if your dead wife tells you to come to a town, and then the town is full of monsters, you turn around and leave. I feel like there was another big terrible decision he made too, but I can't - I can't quite remember. That's weird. I wish I had a recording or something to jog my memory.

Light Yagami from Death Note. Light is very smart, but he's also very proud, and he loves using his own intelligence to convince himself that the correct course of action coincidentally happens to be the thing he really wants to do. Yes, if he kills these people in this way, it'll make him look suspicious. But that's what he wants! It's all part of his ingenious plan to catch L, and totally not just because he wants to send L a personal 'fuck you' message. The 'fuck you' is coincidental. This is a very smart move.

Five terrible decision-makers who I love, emphasis on 'terrible decision-makers':

Seifer Almasy from Final Fantasy VIII. One of the first terrible decision-makers I ever developed a fondness for! Seifer, you can't assist an evil sorceress in taking over the world just because you think it's cool and romantic and you really want to show up your rival at school.

WD Gaster from @zarla-s's Undertale fancomic Handplates. Gaster is an expert in doing terrible things while convincing himself that there's definitely, definitely no other course of action. He's awful and I love him.

Chloe Price from Life Is Strange. Chloe is an absolute disaster in a way I find refreshing from a female character. Playing Life Is Strange is a struggle because I want Chloe to like me, but everything she wants me to do is terrible. I don't want to steal money or shoot people or hang up on my distraught friend, Chloe!

Aaaaand Jack Shephard and Light Yagami again. Fascinating characters. I could watch them making ill-advised decisions all day.

Honourable mentions to the other characters who crossed my mind while I was working on these lists:

Mike Munroe from Until Dawn

Lightning 'look, I don't expect punching a god in the face to go well, but I reeeeeally want to punch this god in the face' Farron from Final Fantasy XIII

Jeff Winger from Community

Mondo Owada from Danganronpa

Dr Cox from Scrubs

Keiichi Maebara from Higurashi. I realise there are extenuating circumstances, but murder isn't going to solve your problems! Stop murdering people!

The instant I post this, I'm going to think of twenty other characters I should have mentioned.

Ya Know What? I Love Art.

As such, I feel it's time to recommend my favorites from the internet. Enjoy!

GC-Conceptart

Do you like soldiers? Do you like mil-sci? Do you look at Clone Troopers and Halo marines and occasionally Gondor soldiers and just fall in love? This is the channel for you.

Deer-Head

Come for the Jedi/SW OC’s, stay for the insane fucking range of designs from their recent commission work. It’s all beautiful, like god-damn.

esorkzassingonzalez

Stormtroopers. Clone troopers. You like stormies? You like clones? Good, because every damn one is here and then a few hundred more. If you’re looking to see just how creative you get with a blank canvas of white armor, this is it.

WhoKneeDavid

Similar to the above, an absolute smorgasbord for any fan of the armored legions far, far away.

ThePrydonian

Now, replace Stormtroopers with Daleks, and you get this delightful collection, an album of love-letters to Terry Nation’s evil little pepperpots. Hell, they’ve even provided designs for the Big Finish covers!

Kianamaiart

Always find it funny when artists with actual, official artist jobs just, ya know, post fanart of their crackship. In this case: Jesse/Ash’s Mom Delia from Pokemon. It’s all quite cute, and the art itself is really cool.

DanSchkade

Come for the best webcomic on LINE Webtoon (Lavender Jack, of course), stay for the loving tributes to a bygone age of comics, with a bit of pointed humor alongside. An absolute treat, especially for DC fans.

Dragonith

The best, the best, of the various FUSE-Corp Pokemon artists. Near endless combinations of Pokemon means endless creativity, and combined with how each one has an actual stat sheet? Just so goddamn impressive.

ultimatemaverickx

Some fandoms, by virtue of their media’s setting, lend themselves to a wide range of artistic creativity. Mega Man is certainly one of them, and this is where that creativity funnels into. So. Many. Alters! It’s like the mashup action-figure channel of Deviantart, and it’s amazing.

oni18064

I’ve noticed them often on the periphery of original designs for Marvel characters, but after further investigation, this shit is awesome. Enough characters for a whole new continuity, with some really deep cuts and some fascinating changes and unique choices (love it when you can tell which parts of the MCU a person liked and which they ignored). Absolutely adore it now, a definite look for any Marvel fan.

zarla

If it were just the silly, cute and often sad art from Team Fortress 2, Deltarune, Metal Gear and Half-Life, I'd already love this one. But they had to go above and beyond, and that’s where Handplates comes in. A real long-runner of a fan comic, detailing a potential history of Sans, Papyrus, and W.D. Gaster. An absolute treat that recently ended, a definite recommend for Undertale fans.

TheGraffitiSoul

This guy. This fucking guy. Twitter is where you find most of his art nowadays, but holy shit. The most fascinating and brilliant Gemsona out there. An entire Chapter’s worth of Space Marine designs. Tons of amazing Mandalorian and various Star Wars characters. Just…it’s all so detailed and elegant and there are whole backstories for them and I love it all so much.

Undexpected Guests by @/undertalethingems

Moontale by @/moontale-official or @/dryemiddi

Insomnia by @/wily-art

Growth Spurt by @/potoobrigham

and the x-tale comics (i was also reading the Epictale comics for a while)

I heard you had a bay day so I wanted to let you know that I am a longtime follower from your JTHM days, I learned about your works through Zarla's (Vargas) and I occasionally dropped in over the years to check out your cool sparkle-goth style artwork (which is such a rare style nowadays!) I've been thinking about reSWAN; It looks so cool and I used to see it so much floating around back in the day that I have NO idea why I didn't check it out?! I have no idea what I'm in for :D You're still a huge artistic inspiration for me even though I am a shy lurker and dont have much to say, you're just so talented!! I hope your day gets better <:)

Friennnnd this is so kind, thank you! I did see this on the no good very bad day I was having and I kept it for a few days because sometimes it is nice just to Have.

Would just Delight me to no end if you checked reSWAN out after all this time! I say it so often it sounds like recycled greeting card bullshit, but it is So Dear To Me, and other people engaging with it and seeing themselves in all the bits that don't look like greeting cards is like, the shit worth living for, honestly.

Shy is always okay, but if you ever feel not shy about it I would love to hear what you think and how you feel about it!

Thank you so much for the kind message at such a bad time, it was much needed and appreciated. 💙⭐💚

[sysig]

Okay but that dating sim gif is SO GOOD. Like, WHAT??? It looks like something out of a real life professional game, and now I want to play it, lol. It's very very cool and well done, I loved all the details! The expressiveness and the transitions, the sudden change in Edgar's eyes and the lighting around him!! He even blinks, like??? Truly, animation goals. You're such an inspiration to me! It blows me away that you did that in such a short timeframe!

Haha, thank you very much! ♥ I also really want to play a Vargas dating sim, every time I chip at the concept I get a new smattering of ideas hehe ♪

You got me anon, that’s what I’m able to do in the sweet spot between “Just enough time to get the framework of what I have in my head” and “Not enough time to overthink the details” - it’s a system that works pretty well for me :D

The time crunch gives me that little burst of energy to get what I’m able to see in my mind onto page and canvas, while also still missing a few of the things I’d want to come back and get right next time - I’m sure you noticed the barren bookshelves and maybe the lack of door frame lol, but those are important signifiers for growth! Maybe next time, I’m able to draw a bit faster, or remember more details, and I’ll have noticeably improved ✨ That’s my goal anyway haha

If I’d had just a liiiiiittle more time, I definitely would’ve made an homage to Zarla’s Ghosts’ blink animation. Two frame blinks are all well and good, but that bounce brings me so much joy ♫

#Requestober #Vargas #anonymous #It does make me happy to hear you enjoyed it so much ♪ I'm quite proud of it too! Don't let me little comments convince you otherwise! #I just know where I'd like to next improve >:3c Which is also an important step! #I feel like I'm preaching here but fjslkajfd art improvement is important ot me lol - it's great to fail upward #Even though I was under time pressure so I wasn't Fully able to get what was in my head out I got Most of it out #And because I was able to get Most of it I can now come back and improve on the bones any time :D #If I was able to spend more time on it ♪ I really do think I could make something Really cool >:3c #Actually you wanna know a fun fact about the blinks? Lol #They were a spur of the moment decision - originally his closed eyes were only meant to be for that final expression #But then I was like ''Hmmm. I bet I could animate on twos for a couple simple blinks. I bet it would add a lot'' and I think it did :D #Literally just copied his closed eyes onto a separate layer it looks super janky in my files ✨ #There's like a marquee in the back of my head going ''If it was in an actual game program I could make a loop that would seamlessly tran-'' #Lol I really love the back end of game design I think it's super interesting even if I'm still very green to it ♥ #Anyway anyway anyway #Thank you again anon <3 It is very appreciated ^^ And thanks for giving me an excuse to ramble about it lol ♪

so like very genuinely one of the art and story people i look up to the most- like, i think they're just some of the coolest shit to walk the planet hearted one of my posts rambling about their au a few months ago. i CANNOT.

From across time and apparently space, it's a Chrono Trigger ghost made for Ghost Jam 2021! Bring Crono, Marle, and Lucca onto your desktop to hang out with you! They don't have too much content yet, but we have a lot of cool ideas for the future!

You can pick up their .nar file here

@zarla-s​ wrote all the dialogues, and despite having to move slowly because her wrist is still healing, she pulled through and wrote us some top tier dialogues! Make sure you try out all the functions and such and see it all!

@characteroulette did all of the shell art, and exported over 340 files for this shell! Thanks to the crazy amount of artwork that he put out, these three have poses that face forwards, left, and right, so that they can look at each other while they talk!

And I pulled the wonderful elements that I was given together with the coding! Not only can all three characters look at each other, they'll face correctly no matter how you move them around on screen!

They also come with a balloon that replicates the look of the original SNES text boxes. It comes with a custom font, so make sure you install that! The balloon should install itself when you install the ghost, but if it does not, you can download it separately as well.

We hope you enjoy what our ghost has to offer, and we hope you'll look forward to future updates!

#Ukagaka #ukgk #Ghost #Collab #Ghost Jam #Ghost Jam 2021 #ZiUkagaka #ZiChrono #This was so much fun to work on!! #So excited to add more to them later! #I have... a lot of stuff I want to code for them... Didn't have time because I totally underestimated how long shell code and #dialogue formatting would take me :'D Oh well! Their first release was pretty smooth and that makes me happy
