The Catacombs in Paris… 🇫🇷☠️

You know it's so cool how compared to the Light World in Deltarune, the Dark World just leans so much more into the RPG style mechanics to the point of having the average Darkner be at least a little aware of meta mechanics, like telling you to 'Press [C] to open Inventory!' or whatever else (and having Susie, a Lightner always react like 'Huh? What are they talking about?'). and it's a really cool thing because it insinuates that the darker you get, the more RPG like the game gets, and the more meta it gets as well. but then it goes even DEEPER

When you think about the the hypothetical Depths, when you think about Gaster and his metanarrative ties to everything and how it's speculated that the Depths are where he is and you think about how he reached out to Spamton and Jevil and potentially told them about them being in a game, and all that neat stuff tying into that idea of the darker you get the more aware you are of the true (in the meta sense) nature of things (haha like The Dark Truth).

but even further still.

When you think about Dess' hypothetical disappearance, and how people speculate she's also lost somewhere in the Depths, and how people think that the goner code in the game files? The 'unused' code, the creepy few lines asking for help, asking if they're alone?

I find it kind of wild that it could be implied that the 'darker' something is, the deeper it plays into the idea of Deltarune as a game itself, and the darkest we've seen someone get is surpassing the game, the game within the game and the meta narrative within the game and going straight to the unused code in the literal files. It's definitely been said, but I'm just collecting my ideas here. I just think it's neat lol

this is something I finished

Here is how I did the poses (I don’t know the artist)

Extremely rarely, while playing the Bowser in the Dark World course in Super Mario 64, the “falling Goomba event” may occur. Three Goombas are located on a platform directly above the purple switch near the start of the level; normally, these Goombas stay on that platform and do not go over the edge. However, a few of the game’s random number generator configurations result in one of the Goombas very rarely falling down from the platform in the manner shown in the footage. As the platform itself cannot be seen using the default camera angles in that area, the Goomba seems to appear out of nowhere.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - Dark World

I've finally decided on how Pokémon will work in dark worlds.

Originally, they were just going to be neon colored (based off of what we see of the annoying dog being identical to its appearance in Undertale), but that seemed a bit boring to me. So I decided to treat them like lightners, the only difference being that they're a lot more uniform.

Chandelure was supposed to have tear like designs under her eyes, but that got scrapped for a few reasons;

1. The normal tear shapes where a bit too reminiscent of prison tattoos, while there are some interpretations of their meaning that fit there are others that aren't so pleasant.

2. I felt that circular marks that resemble tears like those on sobble felt a bit too out of place.

3. It was a bit too character specific. While the only chandelure that will appear in Darkened Railroads is Ingo's Chandelure, I already stated above that I wanted the forms for pokémon to be uniform.

Eelektross' dark world form.

It's coloring is based on a dragon fish. (I know it's one word but auto correct is being stubborn.)

I burnt myself out trying to get more done without posting what I've finished. Using more work to procrastinate is not good.

Gliscor dark world form.

This was actually the second form I worked on but I decided once I was done that I wanted to get Eelektross' out first, even though I hadn't even started on it then.

Based on how some scorpions glow under black light. Looks a lot like the shiny.

I had to add filters over everything but the eyes because it was minecraft diamond teal and It hurt my eyes. It's still pretty close, but nowhere near as obnoxious as before.

Joltik dark world form, based off of a rainbow peacock spider.

I'm actually going to work on comic pages now.

Once again, I'm posting something else because I don't like the rate of progress of the main stuff I'm planning.

This time, instead of having a clear inspiration, or winging it, I decided to start with a preset pallette and work from there. The specific one I used was 'Icy Gradient' found on Canva.

I want to mention that the tail is not part of the form itself, but just how I draw Sneasler's tail. I like her design, (Which isn't saying much because I have dirt poor standards when it comes to Pokémon designs, but just keep in mind that the worst opinion for me is usually "that's cool.") but the tail just looks too awkward. I actually subconsciously forgot what her tail looked like for awhile, and thats how my mind filled it in.

The markings were something that was floating around in my mind for about a few months before I posted the Chandelure's design. Just simply, what if there was just a little bit more differentiating the nobles from the rest of their species than being bigger, and markings were what seemed to make the most sense. Of course, this is just a dropped idea being revived purely for the purpose of being combined with a newer idea. A normal sneasler would look the same, just lacking the markings.

Like Joltik, Galvantula's dark world form is based off of a rainbow peacock spider, although much more literal.

I added the dark silver because some features blended together too much without it. I'll probably end up redoing the design for joltik, and add that color in then.

The main problem with Joltik is the fact that I was trying to push myself through burnout the entire time, alongside not yet having learned some things that were definitely needed.

I'm definitely much prouder of this.

Excadrill's color was inspired by construction vehicles, especially CAT vehicles.

The black was turned into a dark yellow-brown, so it won't blend into the background.

Linktober Shadow 2024: Day 8 - Lorule/Dark World

last night i had a dream that there was a tiktok trend where people make their own dark worlds, so me and my sister tried to make one so we got a bunch of our plushies and put them all in one room, and then i pulled out a knife and stabbed the ground and created a dark fountain. i think the rest of the dream was just dream randomness sadly.
