Description
A commission drawn by the amazing Sour-Apple-Studios , creator of Horrortale
The figure was unnervingly tall and uncomfortably skinny to the point of being skeleton-like.
She wore a wool dress dyed blood-red, with midnight black feathers sewn into the sleeves and neck. A very long hood covered the head, concealing it in complete darkness, safe for several strands of sickly grey hair protruding from it. If you looked close enough, you could almost see an unnaturally large grin shining in the blackness, showing rotting yellowed teeth. But it wasn’t a natural grin of joy or excitement. She grinned because she had no lips or mouth.
Two, bony hands crumpled like greenish raisins protruded from the sleeves, with long black nails about as sharp as knives. The figure folded them on top of each other courteously.
Underneath the dress, instead of feet, protruded two clawed and feathery bird feet, close to that of a pitch-black rooster.
A quick sketch of a new mysterious character from my Undertale AU, so far only known by The Witch or The Witch of Determination. Her true name is unknown, but she has appeared in many names and forms throughout history. Lilith, Baba Yaga, just to name a few.
I, myself, love the concept of creepy old and magical ladies, and since Undertale has plenty of magic, why not include what is considered the literal embodiment of creepy magic in fairy tales. Obviously, I took a lot of different inspirations from mythology and folk tale for her, and since monsters and magic exist in the world of Undertale, which is perhaps our world, is it strange to imagine that other odd things exist as well?
Bigfoot. Odin. Merlin and Morgana. In this AU, The Shattering, the concept of folktale and mythology is merely an altered truth, sometimes only by a little...
The current story is a very long multiparter known as The Royal Hunt, and I'm also starting on a spin-off/prequel about Gaster called The Cry from the Void. Check it out if you're interested:
