young Fiddleford for color practice #gravityfalls

I assigned them each to characters because, so far, the plotline is NEAR EXACT to the movie -- I think it'd help to get an idea of whose role is whose. This all takes place in a colorful corporate version of TV World... If anyone is interested, I could share my Tenna design...

Quick concept sketch...

Here are some designs for a Deltarune Fight Club AU I was joking about with irls... I call it the Mike Club AU, wherein SMike teaches Battat (and eventually all of TV World) to toy with Tenna as a cathartic way of getting back at him for his cruelty. . [#deltarune #miketwt]

Ego death #battat

currently completely swamped and haven't had a lot of time to post my artwork -- I'm working on a *lot* of little doodles at once... Hopefully, I'll be able to be more active here over the summer. Happy Pride and I love you Toby Fox I can't wait for the new chapter.

Some more rendering practice today... Here's Mr Tenna!

Psychosis - The inability to distinguish what is and what's not real.

@SoepWasHere Thank you so much! I adore Battat because of how easy he is to relate to in so many unique ways, since he acts as part of a comic mirror to Deltarune’s fanbase in the real world… Every interpretation of him is precious.

@roachspecimen Ooo I love your interpretation and analysis on him! There are so many different ways you can explore his sense of self and identity through the Mike situation, it's part of what makes him such a fun character to think about. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and lovely art :]

This is a very silly artwork, but I have things to say... The central focus here is Tenna's death and how it affects Battat, but since I'm a new here, I did want to share my personal interpretations of Battat's relationship to his Mike identity. (🧵)

@obj_board -influence and worth to the Dark World (and the prophecy, but I’m *pretty* sure he doesn’t know that) is something Battat desires deeply. He finds himself constantly emulating Tenna’s behavior because that is his portrait of success and power.

@obj_board Yess… I do especially enjoy this idea. Battat still subconsciously idolizes Tenna, despite all of the man’s glaring flaws that he’s been personally exposed to. To me, like his situation with his idealized version of Mike, he just can’t help himself. I imagine Tenna’s-

++ I'd love to hear what you think about this! I am a big Battat fan and I just eat up any interpretations of his character at all. I have *barely* interacted with the fandom prior to this point, so I am deathly apologetic if this thread is all already common knowledge. 😅

And so, returning to my art... When Tenna dies, Battat doesn't have an excuse to keep playing as Mike anymore. He's left bare and pulling the suit back over himself to cover up. He'll have to find a hobby and a real, tangible identity to cling to in which he isn't powerful.
