anon, buddy, you have no idea how much I appreciate your timing in sending this, because literally within this past week I got a surge of inspiration for Napstabot and I haven’t stopped being excited about them ever since :’D

I wanna say first though, they’re a similar case to Noodle/Swap Papyrus in that I have nothing against the original Underswap version of the character, but they just never appealed to me personally so I did what I want with them. Honestly I couldn’t see the original Napstablook in there, and given that I love versions of Underswap where the characters retain aspects of their personalities that’s probably where my problem is.

also I can’t remember the source on this but I recall hearing that Napstabot likes their arms the way MTT likes his legs, so I had an idea a while back to make a point of that in their design by reversing MTT’s noodly arms and fabulous legs, so Napstabot would have cool bulky arms and noodly legs.

and I think it looks pretty neat o/

I’ll go into more detail about their personality when I get to making a character sheet for them but they’re outwardly more upbeat and confident than UT Napstablook, but they’re not quite as extravagant as MTT and their shyness in public is well known. Design-wise their gauntlets are covered in controls for music and their tear trails light up to the beat, and they are definitely going to trip on those shoe laces.

I haven’t designed their box form yet, but I did have a silly idea that it has square-shaped headphones which become a terrible, actual fashion trend in the Underground, but by the time they get their new body those normal headphones are built-in and they’re just like “oh no…. i’m off-brand……………”

also! I didn’t forget about Happstablook/Mettaton!!

Happstablook can come off as being a bit awkward at first, but in his comfort zone or around familiar company he becomes much more of a charming performer. With him running the family business, the original game’s kind of pathetic snail farm is now the Blook Family Snail Salon, which is still actually a farm but it’s ~luxurious~. Having the Queen of All Monsters as your best customer does wonders for business.

I need to do Alphys and Undyne’s character sheets next (hopefully sometime this month!) but these two will both get mentions in those, their respective friendships are still a thing :>

They’re slouching and looking off to the right, with dialogue from Mettaton out of view saying, “Blooky! Shoulders back, darling, you’re killing me.” /end ID]

it’s been a while since i’ve done a napstabot design
