Doodled this during the Undertale 10th anniversary stream! It’s hard to put into words just how much UT and DR mean to me, how much they’ve inspired me in pursuing my own creative works, writing my own stories. So I made this instead, with those feelings :) Thank you, Toby Fox. #fanart #undertale
A drawing I made for (and during) the Undertale 10th Anniversary streams! It has Frisk, floating in the middle with the red soul cupped in their hands. The other 6 souls float around them in a circle. In the background are countless monster souls, including one sitting on a very familiar-looking flower.

It's been awhile, and I've been making progress on finally starting this dream comic of mine up, so I figured it was time to redraw Palette's team portrait! In order are the 2026, 2021, and 201X (I can't remember exactly, I think 2018?) versions! :) #oc #art #redraw
A team portrait of my main OC's, Palette (a calico cat, front and center), Prince Nord (Slightly behind Palette to our left, a Siamese cat), Lilica (slightly behind Palette on our right, an albino Jackalope-Wolpertinger mix), and Frizberg (all the way in the back, a glacier bear).
Palette is posed with a smile, triumphantly holding up her sword and shield, which look like a paintbrush and paint palette respectively. She wears a purple cape and has a bow on her head made of paintbrush tips.
Nord is posed with his weapon, a fancy golden rapier-like sword with blue gems adorning it, matching his golden crown with a blue gem in the center. He also wears a royal blue robe with faux fur lining and golden details. He looks genuinely happy to be in the party.
Lilica holds her magic staff, a curved wooden branch securely holding an angular blue crystal at the top. Her clothes are pale green with medium green frilly details, and dark green shoes and a dark green ribbon around her neck. Her horns are malformed, twisted into a heart shape, and she's growing random tawny feathers on her body, though she has no wings. She looks happy, but a little unsure.
Frizberg has on a crimson coat with very fluffy faux orange fur lining the bottom and collar. Her had a single gold ring piercing on his left ear, wrapped fists, and a scarlet neckerchief on. His face is stoic, but determined.The old 2021 version of Palette's party drawing! All the characters and posing are mostly the same as 2026's, except Nord looks visibly more flustered to be by Palette's side (an obvious crush), and Frizberg looks a little like he's judging him for itMy very first team portrait I drew for my oc Palette's party, back in the late 2010's! Same characters and positioning as the other 2, but Prince Nord is visibly turned to Palette, trying to express feelings for her while she is completely oblivious to it, and Frizberg looks a LOT less sure of Nord in the party. I've developed their stories a lot since then!
This one is also drawn traditionally, with pen and marker on paper!

I haven't seen much art of one of my new favorite games of all time, so I'm being the change I wanna see in the world, starting with the MC, Emi! PLAY DENSHATTACK!!! Seriously this game is so awesome #fanart #denshattack
My drawing of Emi Araki from the game Denshattack! A girl with short-medium red hair, wearing a black shirt, big yellow pants with black striped sides, and chunky white sneakers. She has a blue earring shaped like a lightning bolt with a gap in it. I drew her standing proud, with one hand on her hip and the other holding up the victory sign! The background is a simplified, stylized train car cut in half by the yellow and black background- where the half on black is drawn in yellow, and the half on yellow is black!

There's a trend on Twitter right now where you draw Spamton as your favorite Pokemon This is an unfortunate use of my power but I did it anyways. Spamteon. #Deltarune
Spamton (from Deltarune) drawn as Sylveon (from Pokemon). His face has stayed largely the same, just with his eyes (lenses?) a little further apart. His hair has huge long tufts on either side to mimic the ears. His body has been turned quadrupedal, but he's still wearing his suit, and has a tail now. He has bowties on his neck and his left hair/ear tuft like Sylveon's, but they're angular, and colored pink and yellow. And finally instead of ribbons like Sylveon, from each bowtie sprouts two sets of phones on green curly cords.

"So many Friends, can't tell where they begins or where they ends!" Had this idea for a Deltarune piece for awhile but wasn't sure on whether I could pull it off. But I've seen so many other cool artists post really awesome art lately that I felt like trying! #deltarune #fanart
A piece of Deltarune fan art I drew! An egg, splattered violently in the middle of the canvas, where the yolk and white look like the main circle and wings of the Deltarune symbol, and shards of broken shell make up the triangles on the bottom.
Surrounding it, in an almost suffocating way, are the hungry paws, maws, eyes, smiles and silhouettes of Friend cats in various sizes, some almost blending into others. Curled around the outside of all this, with the end pointing at the egg from the bottom right corner of the canvas, is the Pointed Tail.

My simple turnaround/anatomy construction sheet for my OC, Palette! A calico cat with green eyes in a bluish-purple cape, with a bow made of 2 paintbrushes with light purple tips, and a violet orb. She has on a matching violet collar with a golden bell attached to it.
The turnaround has her front, back, and side views in order. Below it are guides to her fur patterns, a sketch guide showing her construction and height relative to how many of her own heads tall she it, a and a couple sketched poses- one of her swinging her sword, and one of her posing with the victory hand symbol and winkingA character portrait I did for the game JRoguePG on Steam! This one is for the female Elementalist class.
She has medium-brown skin, hazel eyes, dark blue hair, and a colorful outfit with red, blue, pink and gold details. She holds a prepared fireball in her hand.An original illustration I did, of a little reaper cat on a colorful, ethereal hill, watching a torrent of souls fly upwards in a winding trail. The sounds are in all different bright rainbow colors, matching the flowers blooming on top of the hill by the reaper’s feet. She wears a dark blue cloak and hood, and her wispy tail, feet and face are made of shadowy dark purple material. Her glowing red eyes pierce through the darkness, but not maliciously. She holds a big scythe with one big blade and one smaller one underneath it.My fan art of a dessert-themed Hydrapple (Pokemon)! All of Hydrapple’s heads are out, all with different expressions, ranging from happy, to hungry, to loud, to curious. The apple base is decorated like a luxury gourmet candied apple, with layers of caramel and different types of chocolate. There’s also peanuts, sprinkles, whipped cream and apple slices adorning it

DELTARUNE TOMORROW (read: 2 weeks) Reposting some of my doodles I’ve done in celebration! #fanart #deltarune
My doodle of Kris, Susie and Ralsei from Deltarune! Susie and Kris are posing together for an invisible camera, with Kris holding a ball of moss flat in their hand, and Susie grinning while holding Kris’s shoulder and flipping off the camera. A textbox above them reads:
“You pose with Susie and the MOSS BALL.”
Ralsei is in the back holding a slice of cake on a plate, looking at them in shock at the rude gesture and exclaiming “H-Hey!!!”A doodle page I made of Spamton from Deltarune (feachur-ing Tenna as well)! There’s one colored pose of him up in the top left, cradling a pipis while a note next to him reads “He is NOT okay”. One doodle is a slight top-down shot of him saying “KRIS…” while the words BIG and SHOT reflect in his glasses. Another doodle is him laughing like a lunatic.
And at the bottom of the page is a couple scenes of him and Tenna. The first shot is Tenna holding Spamton up to his face by the back of his shirt, thinking to himself “…Is this who I think it is???”
Only for his thoughts to be interrupted by Spamton suddenly hissing loudly and flailing around, causing Tenna to drop him and go “EEK!!! MIKE, GET A BROOM!”My big doodle page of Tenna from Deltarune! There’s one full-body, colored sketch of him on the left side, holding his microphone confidently, probably about to talk about his next show.
There are several facial expressions, a side profile, and a few short comics.
Up top there’s a face like he’s about to lose it, but he suddenly looks up sheepishly, trying to keep it together and goes “MIKE, CUT!”
In the middle of the page is Tenna holding a mug that is supposed to say “World’s Best Dad” on it, but the word “Dad” has a rough piece of tape over it with “TV” scrawled there instead. Tenna says “Oh, Kris…! This is so sweet! You DO like me!” While wiping away tears of joy. Kris is in the background giving an expressionless thumbs up, while text next to them says “SOUL made them do this.”
Beneath that is a drawing of Tenna’s antennae pinging, with his hand on his head (drawn incorrectly, I forgot which hand was which LOL), saying “…Then make the air holes BIGGER.”

And finally at the very bottom of the page is another colored drawing set, two frames of a doodle comic. The first one is Tenna squeezing Spamton in both hands like a stress ball, saying “Gonna strangle this little FREAK”, and then the next drawing is Spamton breaking free, crunching down on Tenna’s nose, and Tenna screamingMy colored doodles of Jevil, Queen and Lancer from Deltarune! Jevil is practicing his bullet tricks, Queen is confidently holding up a glass of acid, and Lancer is holding a controller, digging holes in a video game.

This one’s a personal piece! I’d had the idea for this one sitting around for awhile, but every time I tried drawing it, I just couldn’t get it quite right. Until now :) #art #colorful #monochrome
My artwork depicting a little ghostly spirit cat, shaded with rainbow colors and holding a glowing rainbow heart, traveling along a path in the woods.
In a radius around them, the forest trail is serene and colorful, with lush grass, berry bushes, butterflies and a sturdy tree trunk at the side.
Outside of the radius, the world is rendered in harsh monochrome. Brushstrokes and lines are quick and violently scribbled into the shapes of a disaster-torn forest, with half the same tree cracking apart, the path behind the cat crumbling into the void, and a house being lost entirely in the background.

I had some wild dreams the other night, but in the middle I got a glimpse of a pretty cool creature design that I tried to draw when I woke up! Weird tarantula-butterfly-beetle-horse, lol Stuck to sketchy pencil for the rendering on this one too and it turned out pretty nice! #art #creaturedesign
A creature design I came up with and drew! It looks like a black horse, with curly dark hair for its mane and tail. The hair falls over one set of eyes (it has 3 on each side, one big one, two small ones underneath) on the face but the yellow glow of them still shines through. It has a set of small butterfly-like wings where its ears would be, as well as bigger ones on its actual back, which are black with semi-transparent segments in the middle that are a gradient of blue to green.
The creature has dark floof around its neck and legs, all *6* of them. It has 4 normal horse legs, and then two extra arms further up its neck, kinda like velociraptor arms, to bring food up to its mouth. It also has tarantula-like feet and claws instead of hooves.

As well as her fur patterns for front and back when the cape isn’t covering them, her color swatches, character height (roughly 1 and 3/4 of her own heads tall), and a couple extra poses- one of her swinging the sword and holding the shield she uses to change its element, and one of her winking and holding up a peace sign!A bunch of different doodles expressions for my character, Palette!Part 1 of 2 of a short little doodle comic, of an exchange between my characters Palette and Prince Nord.

Nord: N-No! No! Just…relieved you aren’t mad.
Palette: Mad? At the rock, maybe. It should watch its back.
Nord: Are we adding “rock maneuvers” to my regimen?

My new turnaround sheet for my character, Palette! A calico cat with green eyes in a bluish-purple cape, violet collar and a bow made up of a purple orb with paint brush tips sticking out of either side, covered in lavender paint. The turnaround sheet has her front, both side, and back views. As well as her fur patterns for front and back when the cape isn’t covering them, her color swatches, character height (roughly 1 and 3/4 of her own heads tall), and a couple extra poses- one of her swinging the sword and holding the shield she uses to change its element, and one of her winking and holding up a peace sign!A bunch of different doodles expressions for my character, Palette!Part 1 of 2 of a short little doodle comic, of an exchange between my characters Palette and Prince Nord.
Palette: Hey- you’re hurt! How did that happen?!
Nord: O-Oh! I…I uh…
Nord:…Was practicing combat, and…I…tripped on a rock…
Palette: ………….
Nord: …(here comes the lecture…)
Palette:…heh…Part 1 of 2 of a short little doodle comic, of an exchange between my characters Palette and Prince Nord.
Palette: HAHAHA!
Nord: !
He’s looking at her in surprise, because he’s never seen her laugh so genuinely.
Palette: What? Something on my face?
Nord: N-No! No! Just…relieved you aren’t mad.
Palette: Mad? At the rock, maybe. It should watch its back.
Nord: Are we adding “rock maneuvers” to my regimen?
Palette:…Not the worst idea.

One of my first shiny hunts ever was actually Charmander, so I made my entry a little homage to that! :) Go support all the cool artists here! #pokemon #fanart
My drawing of a shiny charmander (Pokemon) that has just hatched! It’s a brighter gold color, with sparkles, and a little bit of eggshell left on it’s head

Some lineless sketch/color studies I did with some very good goobers :) Forgot I could just slap colors onto a page sometimes #fanart #pokemon #deltarune #monstersanctuary
Some lineless sketches I did! At the top of the page is Eevee (Pokemon), and the bottom half has Tenna (Deltarune) on the left and a Blob (Monster Sanctuary) on the right!

Posted the finished art page for these designs with yesterday's portfolio day post, but here's a closer look at Potted Golems! Originally I'd drawn it with pen while out of the house, and later decided I wanted to try and take the concept further. #art #creaturedesign #oc
Page of drawn designs for a creature type I call “Potted Golems”! Living creatures made of magical plants that have taken over their vessels. From left to right, top to bottom we have:
Standard Teracotta Pot: A golem made from sprouting plants in a cracked terracotta plant pot. The cracks from the creature’s “mouth”, and allow for holes to form soil into hands and extend roots out into feet. 
“Recycled” Cup: A styrofoam cup with a dandelion planted in it (and a plastic straw), turned into one of these creatures. It can’t crack the cup enough to get more than a single spread of roots out for one foot to hop along on, but it continues on regardless.
Flower Basket: A golem made up of a large number of flowers in a woven basket. Instead of soil and roots, its “hands” are stray leaves and petals that have fallen from the flowers it carries, and its “feet” are the bottom ends of the ribbon tied at the bade of its basket handle.
Old Potion Bottle: A glass bottle not rinsed of life potion thoroughly enough before being used as a vase, resulting in a potted golem! It is cracked to form its mouth and limbs in a similar way to the Standard Terracotta Pot golem, but instead of soil, it’s filled with and using water, with a lovely flower standing tall over the edge of the bottle.
Mini Succulent: A potted golem made of a small succulent plant in a miniature porcelain pot. Its exterior isn’t cracked, but instead its hands are made of floating soil and rocks from the top layer of the pot, and it has feet/eyebrows made of pebbles too.A sketchy notes page that goes into more detail on the anatomy and history of Potted Golems as a creature!
At the very top is a little doodle of a witch watching her potion bottle spring to life as a Potted Golem, with text next to it that says "Potion Bottle breeds were the first ones! A witch in training didn't rinse a used bottle well enough before using it as a vase."
Under that is a little drawn diagram of a vase, showing the ratios of Life Potion, Water (or soil), and Soul Host plant needed to assemble a golem.
To the left of that is a sketch of the Potion Bottle golem, with arrows and captions pointing to places on its body, stating "If vessel is solid, it will usually crack to allow for limbs" and "Plant health measured by appearance OR eye brightness"
Under the assembly diagram is 3 sketches of different plants, with the caption "Any plant works!" above it.
The bottom left of the page has sketches of a terracotta pot golem in attack mode, one being watered, and 3 more shapes/plants for golems not featured in the initial artwork. The bottom right shows a terracotta pot golem being "dismantled", as the plant is removed from the old pot to be put into a new basket vessel, the old pot going lifeless and the dirt that was once limbs piling up on the ground. The written text above and below this drawing reads "Remember, the soul IS the PLANT! Golems can be dismantled by removal, OR replanted into new pots for a makeover!"My initial rough sketches for each of the potted golem varieties I included in my full art, sketches in blue pencil brush! Next to it on my canvas is a zoomed-in picture of the oiriginal pen-and-paper sketch, the very first design for the Potted Golem (a Terracotta pot one)

Hello and happy #portfolioday! I’m Pseph (or Pastel), a freelance artist specializing in 2D art, illustration and character designs! I do originals, fan art, and also do a bit of animation :) You can find my Ko-fi for comms, other socials and contact email at linktr.ee/psephrain8 #art #fanart
An illustration by me in two halves, that can be turned right side up or upside down. The “top” is a white, flower-covered cat on a mossy rock in the middle of a pond, surrounded by a misty forest full of fairies, flowers and wildlife.
The “bottom” is a black, crystal-covered cat on a mossy rock in the middle of a pond, surrounded by cyan mushrooms with bioluminescent swirling patterns on their caps, and crystal growths glowing in pink, purple and orange colors inside of a cave.Page of drawn designs for a creature type I call “Potted Golems”!

A humanoid being with a “face” and “hair” made of shadows leaking out from their big hat and parts of their snazzy suit. Instead of a tailcoat they have 4 floating panels attached to their waist that resemble butterfly wings. Besides the wide brim hat and suit top, they also have on vertically striped pants, pointy dress shoes, and white gloves (that also show they may have claws as well). Their tie and earrings are designed to look like the chrysalis of a butterfly.
They are surrounded by butterfly-like entities that use their wings and antennae to emote like sets of eyes (should I call them Butterfl-eyes?)My drawing of a shiny Hydrapple (Pokemon), decorated like a giant supreme candied apple!
Hydrapple itself is a light green 5-headed serpent with two tails, coming out of a candied apple base that’s usually red, or caramel in the case of the shiny. The main of these heads sits in the middle, with horns and a green apple skewered on one!

For my candied Hydrapple, I used the shiny for the caramel base, but gave it different layers of cool coatings/toppings! The top layer is covered in dripping caramel, a white chocolate swirl, and dollops of whipped cream. The second layer is darker caramel with peanut pieces. The third layer is white chocolate with rainbow sprinkles. The fourth layer is smooth milk chocolate. And at the bottom, the caramel returns with apple slices decorating the bottom around the base of the apple!

One of the last big pieces I finished in 2025 was this Persona 3 illustration! Tried a lot of new, experimental stuff, especially on all the symbolism from the game I put in here, but I really like how it turned out! #fanart #persona3 #illustration
A Persona 3 fan art illustration I drew at the end of 2025!
It shows the dark blue silhouette of the MC in a calm watery background (like Reload), with his lighter blue eye and bright red SEES patch visible. He’s holding his Evoker at the ready as a breeze blows his hair, clothes, and some bright blue flower petals that match him gently across the canvas.
Underneath him, where his shadow would be on the floor, is the while silhouette of chains and the face of his persona.
The outside of the canvas is framed in the shape of a coffin (like what normal people turn into during the Dark Hour), with black and white tile patterns that slowly fade into black and bright green like the Dark Hour’s full moon.
There are carnations on the edge of the tile framing, each one a color representing the different party member characters from the game. Pink, darker blue, scarlet, teal, yellow, white, gray, orange, and a torn dark red one. Light blue petals are scattered around them all, and a glowing blue butterfly rests on the yellow one.

So, I did this some months ago, finally got the guts to post it. I’m practicing making comics again! I wanna get my story out there and stop being afraid to post! Here are some test pages I made! Need to experiment more with layouts and text boxes, but I like the direction I’ve got! #oc #art #comic
White Lie, Page 1

Prince Nord and Palette are walking together through the woods.
Nord: Ah…They’re going to lock me up again for leaving town for sure this time…
Palette: (His stupid dad…)
Palette swipes a leaf stuck to Nord’s head off of him, surprising him, turn turns back and shrugs.
Palette: Well! Good thing you were shadowing my duties and errands in town ALL DAY! Keeping me in line, yep!
Next, Lilica approaches Palette with a red flower clutched in her paws.
Lilica: Someone keeps leaving me flowers while I’m not looking! Cute…
Lilica: I wonder who?
Palette has a smirk on her face as she remembers seeing Frizberg picking flowers earlier that day, clearly not wanting to be seen. She pauses, thinks. Then shrugs again, looking off to the side.
Palette: No idea, but hey! It’s nice, yeah?
A transition to night happens, with Palette sitting alone. Looking out into the starry sky, smiling with just a bit of desperation.
Palette: …Yeah. A little white lie never hurt anyone too bad. Even helps sometimes.
She looks down, solemnly, sadly at the bell on her collar and cradles it in one paw.
Palette: …It’s better than truth, sometimes.White Lie, Page 2

We cut to a memory of Palette as a kitten, receiving her bell from a shadowy force we can’t see anything but the hand of. Palette’s little paws are shakily held out for it, tears sliding down her face as she accepts it.
???: For you, my girl. I’m sorry, it was…all I could recover. She would have wanted some part of her to stay by your side, though. After all-
The bottom of the page turns into a clash of colors, the top half dripping down in rainbow and white light, the bottom half dripping upwards in pure black. Fairy, sword, and palette symbols adorn the rainbow side, while eyes lurk in the pitch black. Palette stands holding her bell, caught in the middle of it all, fairy features drawn around her in the rainbow side, and ripples in the ink below surrounding her.
???: You have a most difficult role to play in this world. The secret fate that keeps us balanced.White Lie, Page 3

The page is completely black, with Palette drawn facing away from the viewer, sword and shield at the ready, ripples in the blackness beneath her feet. She’s outlined in white, with a less solid red outline on the outside.
Text on the top and bottom in white reads: “Yours is the color of a new hero”
However there is also upside down text in red, reading:
“_______, tell no one. You’ll only put them in danger.”White Lie, Page 4.

Back in reality, Palette is suddenly aware of her friends trying to get her attention. They’ve all found her outside under the stars by herself, and have come to sit with her.
???: ______? _______!
Nord: PALETTE!
Nord: Are you alright? We came here to sit with you, but you’ve been staring off into space for quite awhile.
Palette has a genuine look on her face at them for a sec, before returning to her usual sarcastic smirk, though a little more troubled-looking than usual.
Palette: …
Palette: Ah…sorry. Just a little tired.
She looks back up at the stars with Nord.
Palette: But, the stars are pretty tonight, huh?
Nord: Oh, yes! You know, I’ve studied some things about stars in my books, and-
Nord begins to excitedly yap about stars and the cosmos as Palette smiles at him thinking “(aaaand there he goes…)” offhandedly. Lilica is chatting a bit as well, still holding her flower. Frizberg is sitting with his back mostly turned to the group, loner-style, but is quietly peering and smiling a little at Lilica with the flower.
Palette’s thoughts are made known to us, as she looks off privately.
Palette: Maybe one day I can tell them everything. But until then…
It’s as many lies as it takes to keep them safe. Safer than me, at least.

Got some more doodles for my gremlin that I don’t think I’ve shared! Some alt outfit designs and some funny expression practice! #art #oc #sona
4 alternate outfit concepts I drew and colored for my sona, the Pastel Gremlin!
Top Left: Titled “Ice Cream Casual”, she’s in a sweater fashioned after stripes of Neapolitan ice cream (vanilla, strawberry, chocolate). Tied at her neck is a pair of fluffballs on strings that look like scoops of mint chip. Her pants and an ice cream hair clip she’s wearing are also designed after mint chip. The ends of her hair are dyed mint chip green.
Top Right: Titled “Starlit Suit”, She’s in a vivid purple suit with a tailcoat and gloved. The collar and inside of the coat are colored/textured like the galaxy. She has a glowing shooting star bow tie and hair clips. The ends of her hair are dyed pale yellow like stars.
Bottom Left: Titled “Autumn Comfort”, she’s in a fall themed sweater with yellow, orange, red and brown on it. The sweater is patterned with autumn leaves and stripes, and she has on a red headband with a bow made up of orange fall leaves. The ends of her hair are dyed orange.
Bottom Right: Titled “Canvas Coat”, She’s in a white coat splattered with all different colors of paint, with a black sweater that has thin rainbow stripes. She has a big rainbow bow tied up on the back of her head, and the ends of her hair are glowing rainbow.An expression doodle of my artist sona, the Pastel Gremlin, looking up to the right with an incredibly mischievous expression (she has probably come up with a plan to steal some kind of dessert)An expression doodle of my artist sona, the Pastel Gremlin, looking up to the sky and wailing sadly (someone probably stole her dessert)An expression doodle of my artist sona, the Pastel Gremlin, that I made while I myself was sick
Her hair is tied up in a ponytail, and she’s holding a pill and water bottle, looking both sick and also sick of whatever she’s dealing with
