Sorry, but can I ask this question? How do you imagine fell and swap options/versions of tear sans? (swap version of tear sans is not Napstablook! but his cousin Mettaton! Mettablook? Hutstablook or whatever?)
Oh wow. Tear variant/different AU questions already? Consider my answer a headcanon, as I'm not gonna be creating and developing these AUs.
Fell Tear loathes Sans, because canon UF!Blooky loathes anyone affiliated with Asgore/Alphys. But in reality it's somewhat of a love-hate situation. Sans has qualities UF!Tear finds themselves respecting and admiring, but they can't help but hate the guy regardless for the side he found himself on. They pretty much become a Sans to show they can do everything better, while trying to gain said qualities themselves. The biggest one being how Fell Sans gets general respect from monsters. Monsters just avoid ever messing with the skeleton brothers. UF!Tear could be a little jealous that a part of it feels handed over, just because of who their brother is. Even though realistically, Sans had to work for it too. UF!Tear also respects Sanses visual 'scare factor'. Underfell is all about looking edgy and more intimidating than Undertale cast. I imagine that UF!Tear design would likely wear some torn jacket (like their blooky body sheet). It used to be this brand new looking jacket. It ends up badly torn in places from magic attacks in UF!Tear's attempts of 'getting respect'. But because of how painfully honest they are about their opinions and not keeping it to themselves, they end up hurting others. It results in a bunch of fights. They are surprisingly not that bad of a person despite it all, as long as you aren't on their bad side. Might still say some hurtful things to you though.
Swap Tear/Mettaton Tear would just have to be something about entertainment. In Undertale, just like Tear did, Mettaton already acts on their greatest wish. They want to be a celebrity, known in the entertainment industry. Maybe Swap Tear gets their body for the same reasons the game Mettaton got his. Maybe they are in the stage of just deciding to act on their goals and they see this tiny skeleton with oh so much energy. And every time chasing their dream gets hard, they remember Sans powering through everything. And it fuels them to always strive for more, always try that much harder. They need to work harder to become a popular entertainer. And that means they need to pass the barrier to get even humans to watch them. Swap Tear needs to be 'the best of both worlds' to achieve true greatness. But they also wanna be acknowledged and liked by Sans. And what is the closest, not-craftable, monster body to resemble a human? a skeleton. And who are they trying to impress the most? a skeleton. Probably fights the other 'mettaton' on the popularity leaderboards.
Oh gosh this was a fun read. Loving that little detail of what day it is and timeline. Really love how you drew Tear there and the text bit with 'ghostly sans & sansly ghost'. It's so silly and such a fun interaction overall. Super good stuff. Fr, enjoyed it quite a lot. Lob it <3
I decided to create Fanart for Undertear by @eriscary , as it somewhat reminded me of the multiverse stories told by fans in earlier days of the Undertale Community, despite still being in the early stages of an impressive comic!
However, I also still wanted to use this to practice writing for Sans in [Press the 'Z' Button, Idiot!], which worked quite well because of how Tear!Sans had already appeared in UnderFell during the currently most recent pages.
I hope that Tear!Sans was presented accurately here when seen in a new, yet motivational scenario from an AU Sans like this, because it's harder to tell with newer projects and characters, especially since Napstablook in Undertale was used as reference for their dialogue here.
(As a bonus, the posing for Tear!Sans' Full Body in the second/third panel has one of the most Battle Sprite-Accurate Sans heads that I've ever drawn!)
That makes me so overly happy to hear dbbdbbdbdh. It's so sweet and I can't get over ever hearing anyone say how they liked it. It means so much to me. Crying on the inside every time because there is only so many tears I have. Gonna start borrowing them from Tear himself. Tysmmmm 😭💜
Been wanting to draw Tear for a while and decided to just do it. He is very cute

Oh my god, your art style. Holy moly. It's just so... I'm inhaling this. Tear looks so round and soft. I am losing it. And the lil sketches on the side... and the scarf fidgeting and their lil face. I am evaporating on the spot istg. I am not ok

are you trying to make me cry? you don't just say things like that to my face sbsbdbd ;w; thank u
I've come back from the black void of nothingness to post my monthly Tear fanart? Why? Cause I love the story.
I think Rezmo's just trying to scare Tear. Not sure why, but that seems to be what he's doing.
Tear accidentally blasted him with his tears. Since Rezmo's a ghost too and can only be hit by magical attacks, that's gotta hurt. Not like he didn't deserve it though.

I wanted to share a song I associate with Tear. It's a lil on the sadder note though.
@naeruunekk tagging you because you asked me for this in an ask, but I wasn't able to talk about it till now. But all the character info is out now, so let's do this
Lil reasons why I think it fits:
"I don't wanna drown but I wanna feel alive" > Tear can't swim, even tho it's an allegory in this song. It can also be taken as their wish to be loved/be like Sans, essentially changing themselves.
"These crowded rooms and awkward conversations they got me dying" > unable to fit in where they are now.
"In a million faces I’m alone" > They left their AU, so they quite literally have noone in the new AU. No family or friends. Except Papy, where they pretend to be someone else.
"Swimming by myself, up against the tide, screaming out for help" > Tear dealing with their inner demons about essentially being a nobody and stressing over how if they lose Papy they have nothing. Outside allegory again, Tear can't swim. So I imagine him struggling to stay on the surface.
"And I’m paralyzed. I feel like someone else. This isn’t me. I feel like now, I’m the odd one out" > They aren't a Sans. They aren't Papy's real brother. They aren't a Napstablook because the AU has one. They do not fit in Underfell.
"Wishing that I knew someone else who was suffocating" > self explanatory.
"I don’t wanna jump when the risk feels so high. But if you feel it too we got nothing to lose so let’s take it" > Tear never slips with shaping their attacks. Tear is afraid of even Papy's spirit knowing they are a ghost in the plush body, believing he would view them differently. But in Genocide route, they grows desperate and more fearful the longer the fight goes.
The story is so silly, I love it. Poor Rezmo. Got a chuckle out of me. This really intense shading you have in the first picture is so good for the mood of what's going to happen, ngl. Rezmo just on the ground tho lmao dbdbdb. Loving this whole thing

Tear sans by @eriscary
Boys been on my mind for a while, ive always liked napstablook.
The headphones are crying!!!!! The headphones becoming somewhat sentient or matching Tear is not something I expected to see from quite a few fanarts actually. First one that cries now too. Such a wild but cool concept you all are going with.
The art is oh so cute. I love the background being a merge of Tear's colors and the blue of their magic. Love the posing and AGAIN the headphone detail. Some good art right there. Take all my love 💕

It's pretty much how I imagined it to look LMAOOOOO. I'm glad the silly thing is making others laugh pffft. This is golden. Omg ahaha. The animation actually looks pretty good though <333
Gonna be seeing this replayed in my brain whole day istg
the worlds ugliest quick animation
does it get worse as it goes- maybe
did I get it out of my system?- yeah, yeah I did
someone better at animating can take this over
@eriscary I swear I'll stop but reading their description was pretty funny, specifically the
"- When terrified, Tear can unintentionally water blast the person through his eye sockets."
here's the link to the info sheet and the comic
Love love love love love it. It feels calming and I love the lil smile despite Tear crying. You did such a great job on the space and lineart and dbdbnd. Aweeee. Smooching this drawing and tucking it in the bed like it's a person.
Aaaaa I love this boy so much! ☺️☺️☺️ he’s so cute and such an amazing concept! He’s just lying there enjoying feeling like garbage. Family tradition 😌
Took me two hours to make UwU and I used medibang pro on my computer.

OMG THEMMMMMM. So glad those two are getting drawn together. Oh yes x99999. I really love how you drew both of them. Like the expressions and that hand grip?? Hell yeah. Slaying. Like Tear's hand genuinely feels plushy
a goofy sketch
nothing fancy, just reminds me I'm am to be "productive" on my days off. Perhaps I'll come back and do a full version.
It is also alarmingly blatant that I do not know how to draw hands 😞
@eriscary thank you as always for the inspiration to draw with your awesome character, au, and comic. Edit: you know, I keep forgetting we're mutuals on here 💀 I was sitting here like "oh wouldn't it be cool if-" and then I saw. *Melts*
Is there a way for me to bribe you into stealing them? They look so cute aghhhhhhh. The lil ghost will forever have my heart in a chokehold
Eraser Napstablook??
The hat hasn’t finished drying yet but I couldn’t wait to show yall. He is made from entirely eraser. No clay at all😋
@eriscary it may not be tear exactly, but I feel like you would appreciate this little guy.
is tear story over? or is the comic going to have another comic?
'Passing ghost' comic is over. It only serves as Tear's origin story.
It's very likely that I will make another comic in the future for Tear. But I need to figure out what kind of story I would wish to tell.
My plan right now is to make other things that the comic was blocking me from doing. Such as animatic, animations, drawn asks and general illustrations. Per usual, I will still be dropping new character info here and there
Tear's info sheet has updated and can be found >>HERE<< I wanted to keep it flat colored, so it has really bare minimum shading. Just to pop it a lil bit. Drawing Tear happy is my favorite flavor. Yum
"Passing Ghost" comic - extra facts
>>link to the comic<<
When Tear just gets their plush body, they don't automatically know how to 'phase'. The existence of the corporeal body makes the process feel different enough. Unlike before, they now need to use magic and Tear did not have enough time for self discoveries before Error showed up.
When Error attacks Tear, Tear's soul is exposed. Error planned for his strings to go inside his opponent in order to grab the soul. However, his intent force pushed it outside before time. With the new body, Tear didn't know how to reject the intent yet. This usually requires close to no effort and monsters do it instinctually. This is the only canon instance where Tear's soul is forcefully shown via intent.
Another way to force Tear's soul out is by, quite literally, tearing his body apart and digging through all the cotton. This needs to be done using magic, because the plush body won't rip otherwise. Alternatively, it's also possible without magic if Tear is fused with their body
Tear's ribcage area doesn't mimic a skeleton as perfectly. It is not hollow. They had no point of reference while making the body. This is why Tear is pretty soft.

The Undertear tag I kept using everywhere finally makes sense. Yippieee

Extra story facts
You are constantly cooking with your art. That is SUCH A COOL IDEA. The animation and loop came out great. I could just drown in your art with how much you're spoiling me. And in fact, I would do it happily. How dare you make everything you draw be so gorgeous. This is an unfair attack. Am calling the cops. Can't get over how cool this is ebebbdbddd
Had to do this for the Halloween season!
This took me so long, and I may have cried. It's not perfect, but I'm happy with it :D
Tear - @eriscary
Still below cut
Heyy Eri-chan! I wonder which song do you think suits Tear baby boy best:o? Anyways, if you still remember me, i will fanart your son again, with animation!!!!!!!!!!!!!🥺
I DO HAVE A SONG IN MIND. But I cannot talk about it till I'm done with the big update. Both with the comic and Tear's info sheet. I planned to post about it, with little reasons of why I think it suits them svgdfgdvfgvdv. PLEASE BEAR WITH ME JUST A LIL LONGER. 3 more days till everything drops.
I do very much remember you and I'm genuinely excited to see what you have planned. Make sure to take some selfcare breaks. Thank you for all the little comments and art. I cherish them 💖💖
Oh my god what? This is so good. I can't get over the way you drew them. From expression, to shading, to pose, EVERYTHING. It's all so perfect. Gonna shake this drawing violently. I love it so damn much

I kinda imagine that if tear had also stole some of errors puppets to save for extra stuffing/fabric if needed later, but would probably end up using them as stand-ins to practice befriending other sanses?!
ADORABLE skelly!!!!! Protect the smol bean
Hehehehehe!!!!!
I'm stealing Tear, Their mine now, Naptablook is my favorite uT character and this version of they makes me way too happy /pos
well, I guess that's the end of Tear guys. No comic /j. -mwah mwah- thank YOU SO MUCH THOUGH. Makes me feel fuzzy reading this
dfsgdfgdf thank you, it means a lot reading this. I got a big part of the work done already, so I'm not pushing myself too hard. I'm really hyped for this and fueled with determination. Thank you for the care 🥰🥰🥰
The next comic update will take me way longer to post and there might be a period of art silence from me.
WHY? > likelihood of more pages in one or more updates that I wish to post close to one another, doing final edits of Tear's info sheet for full version release, extra art to promote the info sheet update (as it's an edit of an old post/not new post), writing additional story facts and potential of more art for explanation purposes. I plan to post all these daily (probably within 2-3 days) once I draw everything.
Big things ahead
excuse me but you are much to cool to be mutuals with me, i’ve seen your art floating around but somehow haven’t checked out your blog till now?? your art is actually gorgeous, i’m DROOLING??
if you see me floating through your blog later no you didn’t 🥰
dfgfdhfgh fam… I can say the same for your art. I love the colors you use for your pieces it's so -aggressively slams my fist on the table- I need to feast upon more. I love vibrant colors in art so much and you pull it off so well. Even the ones that aren't as colorful are so damn good. 🥰💜💜💜💜
I only today discovered you and was shocked to see you follow back. So believe me, the feeling is mutual hahaha. Will happily be stalking your blog for more art goodies in the future
