yeah ok @the-selfinsert was completely right, horror lb is the way to go
ik this seems a bit unfair in a comparison of quality, but just out of your guys opinions and not based off of images..
Inspired (heavily) by the pose lr sans hits in phase 3 (my pfp)
I cant shade or colour for my life
First time trying to colour manually/properly instead of going "bucket tool go!!"
saw a statement that mg is akin to walter's son
Walter stepped onto the elevator.
In about 5 minutes, he'd arrive at the observation chamber. In about 7, he'd be on the catwalk.
He has that time.
[ding]
Low humming collided with the rustling of his suit as a phone was produced from the rightmost pocket.
A couple rings later, he's speaking to one of his technical engineers.
"Is it ready?"
"Yes sir."
"Good." He hangs up.
Everyone's day has to have just gotten better.
After around 20 more seconds, Walter is faced with a sleek mix of utilarian. He's almost surprised at the lack of traffic, but that's no reason to complain, right?
Stepping out of the elevator, striding forward through the corridor then down the right hall. Take a left turn, followed by a staircase downward.
Hm..that took around 4 minutes. Ah well, better for him, then.
Waltzing into the observation chamber would be the second best part of this trip. He finally got to see his magnum opus.
His eyes were greeted with nigh-perfectum protection against titans- against Godzilla. Oh, how proud he was.
The apex titan, Mechagodzilla.
Despite it's stature, Walter was sure it was his son. The time, the effort, the very fact it stood before him now, it was a miracle- his miracle.
He hurried to the catwalk, passing through the exit door to see it without the filter of stained glass and white noise of computers.
As his foot lands on the first step, he hears it. The sound of a leg shifting. Not his- but it's leg. And he turns.
It's gazing. With optics larger than himself tenfold, it's gazing.
Maybe he hasn't slept much, because he's sure it's..it's leaning towards him.
He moves across the catwalk, stopping around the middle. It tracks him as he moves.
His hand grasps onto the railing, he needed to get a better look.
A snout bumps the railing he's leaning against, larger than half the catwalk itself- it's a miracle the thing didn't crumble.
Conscious or not, Walter's own hand lifts, and lands onto it- lands onto Mechagodzilla.
A low, mechanical hum eminates.
"..Incredible."
Can I just say I love how sketchy your artstyle is? Especially when you draw LB bc it really feels in character for lack of better wording ifykwim
Anyways question timeee, you mightve mentioned this before or gotten an ask about it but what drew you to lb? Like what makes him a character you enjoy?
as selfin rightfully said, anonymous ask? I'm movin' up in the world
as for the question, dearest asker:
I think it was the original merg playthroughs that drew me to him, (and made me find out about his existence) and I started to grow more and more attached over time. I don't know when it happened, but he's just irreplaceable to me now.
I'd say I usually grow a liking to characters like that. Find out about them, compare them to others, realise I like them the most, get pissed because there's little-to-no content of them (they're usually the most unknown damn characters, example being rico from aot. (yes she's my favourite aot character.))
As for what makes lb a character I enjoy? I'd say it's a mix of the more grounded approach of the au, and gaster. I'm quite a big fan of gaster, he's my #2 UT character, competing with sans for #1. plus the design of lb is the best I've ever seen, rivaling fatal and loverofpiggies designs in general. it's so damn basic yet so good. I've always liked more "wild" interpretations of things, as in like- when a character just goes sicko mode. not being restrained by plot or other characters, just goes crazy. though I may just be latching onto something here since I dont quite know myself.
one thing I DO know is how much I love the static aspect. I've been waiting to talk about this all ask. the static aspect of lb hooks me in EASILY. I don't know why but it's so damn good to look at.
not to mention the twitching. lb really gives off this vibe of "we're fucked" no matter who he's up against. phase 3's opening remains my favourite UT-related sequence ever. maybe even outside of UT, actually.
lb excels even more than dust in just pure POTENTIAL for design. you can have a more symbiotic approach, a more retained and orderly approach, or you can have a puppeteer-type dynamic. there's also it just being batshit insane, which I enjoy with a mix of symbiotic and puppeteer.
off-topic slightly, but my favourite representation of lb is a crackhead disposition, with puppeteer strings. yet it's symbiotic in nature, sans and gaster both agreeing on this.
PS: thx for the comment on my artstyle. I love sketchy artstyles a SHIT ton yet it feels like I js chicken scratch with mine. so the very fact it helps my art, especially with my fav character ever, is definitely a motivator.
anyway, thanks for the ask. you just motivated me to start working on another lb drawing I've been thinking of.
if im not 2 then I don't know what I am
There are two types of writers:
1. 'It's fiction, it doesn't need to make sense!'
2. 'I didn't account for the rotation of the planet and how that affects the constalations while my characters stargazed at different times of year, I have failed as a writer, and this entire thing is trash'
have this absolute fucking train wreck of a drawing
i messed up the shading SEVERELY but couldn’t be bothered to reshade the entire thing so i salvaged it as best as i could
i promise on my life to do way better next post
me when I have to do an entire character study on mg just so I can draw him (I really want to)
unrelated collage of stuff I'm gonna be using for it under cut
saw @yourloveaton posts about trickster sans and, being the unhealthily obsessed lb fan I am, turned him into lb. have fun
static performance
idea inspired heavily by @psionicpootis, give them a follow if u want
