Ral and Azzy.

Some mistakes were made.

Ralsei wanted to try being an engineer.

Now THIS on the other hand!

What a horribly inconvenient place to work.

The sore spot Flowery left is still fresh on Ralsei's mind, so he's still wary of J.L. Though, Ralsei has to admit, J.L's got a way with words, what with being an exaggerated product of American folklore.

Here's some sketches of some concepts for some J.L. talksprites. I sort of imagine him as the Anti-Flowery. Someone who's warm, wise, and put together on the outside, but on the inside is terrified of what fate has in store for him and is growing fatigued after years of trying to avert it.

I also wanted to share the confrontation with Flowery, who was voiced by the talented Xeno.

@jinodapuppet.bsky.social recently did streamed Chapter 5, and we got the gang back together for it! I wanted to share this hysterical bit of improv between Echo and I.

This is 3025, one of 7000's several compatriots. 7000 does not respect him in the slightest, but he has 'club' privileges by virtue of Comet's existence.

The New Orleans Special.

Trust me, J.L. is trying really, really hard.

The Jinx herself.

Currently working on a little something.

"San Francisco, here I come!"

This was Ralsei while he was stuck in jail for two minutes. #Deltarune

I'm so proud of Ralsei. He finally discovered someone he dislikes! #Deltarune

Chapter 5 convinced me to revisit J.L. as a character, and the results I do not regret.

Down in the Dark World in Alvin's basement, the Fun Gang meet a new, if reluctant ally. Ft Minty Chippe as Comet and Susie: www.youtube.com/@MintChippeVA #Deltarune

For the record, Susie asked the Mikes specifically to help her "make Kralsei canon," but at some point in the process they all lost the plot a bit. #Deltarune #Kralsei

While I've grown a bit burned out on writing Mason Dixon, I haven't given up yet, rest assured. Here's a preview of a far off chapter with no context.

(4/4)

And then there was Ralsei's breakdown after the Titan fight. I tried to capture not only his fear, but also his repressed frustration at the futility of his kindness in the face of an unchanging fate. (3/4)

Since Chapter 5 is coming out in three days, I wanted to share this from a stream I participated in with @jinodapuppet.bsky.social. My friend @pikkoblu.bsky.social and I went all out voice acting the confrontation in the Second Sanctuary. I shed a couple tears, not going to lie. (1/4) #Deltarune

Joseph and his steed.

This needed some cleaning up.

J.L. out doing what he does best.

There were some minor regrets.
