Actually, I had this idea early on that when Undyne took off her helmet, there'd be a realistic fish head under there. No art of this though
127
These were @tuyoki's first attempts at Papyrus's sprite. He looked too cool and not goofy enough though, so I changed his eyes and scarf.
128
And here's a Greater Dog by @tuyoki again. The face on the spear and all that was my contribution...
129
Uh, anyway, I'm posting this concept art 'cause it's not in the book. There's a lot of similar stuff in there though.
130
The art book has lots of art, and lots of extremely unhelpful, questionable comments by me.
131
Whenever people ask me how I learned to compose music, I tell them that I learned video game songs by ear on the piano first...
132
I still think that's good advice, but if you're self-taught, please make sure you learn to play piano/keyboard with the proper technique...
133
Every time I play the piano intensely, my wrists and hands hurt for a long time after. Probably because I didn't learn to do it correctly.
134
I usually made up my songs on the piano. I think I'll stop now, though. I hope the music I do in the future will be OK without it...
135
New UNDERTALE products (incl. art book) will be available for purchase (pre-order?) in about 40 minutes at Fangamer. fangamer.com
136
Some people wonder about canonicity of UNDERTALE merchandise. None of it is canon (incl. the figurines) except this
137
The 3D Toriel from the commercial is also canon. I don't know what that means, but, just keep it in mind.
138
Kickstarter? Not canon. Tweets? Not canon.
Weird bootleg nursery rhyme video with my characters?
Hmm...
I haven't decided yet.

Hey, Norihiko Hibino's jazz-lullaby-improv-heavy Undertale album is out. I like it. scarletmoonrecords.bandcamp.com/album/prescrip…
140
Now that there's a new Marvel vs Capcom game it's time for Capcom to bring back their strongest IP
141
The Games&Symphonies performed a live orchestral arrangement of some of UNDERTALE's music. Amazing... youtube.com/watch?v=MRkeeb…
142
When I composed "Bonetrousle" / "Heartache" as the battle/boss theme for a different game I was working on in 2012, I never expected this...
143
@tuyoki thats one of the reasons i made everyone in undertale give the protagonist food lol
144
if anyone learns anything from the Art Book, I hope it's that "if you're creating something, it can take a while to figure it all out"
145
This has been said by a lot of people, but all you see of most works is the final product. You don't see all the old ideas that led to them.
146
To make a big project, it takes a lot of adjusting, tweaking, rearranging, and throwing things out. Not everything comes out easily...
147
But, don't despair. You'll figure it out eventually. In the meantime, you've got material for some sort of concept PDF.
148
UNDERTALE was nominated for the Steam Award "I'm Not Crying, There's Something In My Eye." Thanks guys. Voting will happen on Dec 28th.
149
It was NOT nominated for "Villain in Most Need of a Hug." Maybe it was too literal in that sense.
150
Merry Christmas... From All Your Favorite UNDERTALE Chraracters....
