( I'm still trying to save up to get a new computer.. Woo 30$ so far! )



SECOND NOTE: The text behind Frisk and Chara is written in the font Aster, it's a part of De finibus bonorum et malorum. One of the Amalgamates known as Memory head, says the quote Lorem ipsum docet . Which translates to pain itself last I recall. Lorem Ipsum is used as a filler text for publishing and graphics design. Replacing meaningful content with placeholder text allows viewers to focus on graphic aspects such as font, typography , and page layout without being distracted by the content. It also reduces the need for the designer to come up with meaningful text, as they can instead use quickly-generated lorem ipsum. Undertale uses a lot of Typography, such as Sans who uses Comic Sans and Sans Serif, and Papyrus who uses.. well.. Papyrus.. Then there's the entire spiel with Aster, and W.D. Gaster. I don't want to spew spoilers...



Anyhoo, the text that I have behind frisk and Chara is:

Translated:

But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing of a pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?

On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammeled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains.



I feel that this entire quote fits Undertale borderline beautifully so I wanted to incorporate it into the poster. I love history, I love deep meanings, and I just love learning new things. So, I hope this taught you something new or not! It's okay it was just something I enjoyed that interested me!

So my computer is broken still, and Vivian has been allowing me to use hers. As a thank you I've been working on this for about a month now in my spare time, I thought of getting this printed off as a poster as a Christmas gift for Vivian. I've tried my best to keep all of the characters as close to the actual in-game art style as I possibly could, which was an extreme challenge for me xox;.The holidays are incredibly hard for her and I and Undertale is seriously something that has helped the both of us through our struggles emotionally, and has given us some vital lessons we needed to help ourselves move forward and to have a lot of determination to accomplish goals and dreams we've wanted. Honestly, I would be a miserable, angry and sour person right now because of the severe depression I'm in.... And if it wasn't for this beautiful game, I don't really know where I'd be right now since everything has been hitting me all at once, but I finally gained more confidence to be myself, to go out more, to try my best every day.. And it's sad to say that the one thing that has been keeping me positive as stupid and immature as it sounds is the videogame Undertale, where I have a goat who says she loves me, a skeleton who never stops believing in me, A fish that tells me to stay determined, and so many other characters that give such wonderful amounts of meaning and advice which is something I seriously need this time of the year, even if it's from a bunch of made-up little videogame characters, it's something that has been helping me push through all of this constant harassment, paranoia, pain, anxiety, and crippling depression I'm dwelling in. The stress has been eating at me so much I get seizures several times a week that's horrendously terrifying and crippling. And the more and more that I've worked on this poster, it seems that things have been falling into place. Every new discovery I uncover about the game just sorta pushes me into a direction I just needed right here and now. I couldn't be anymore thankful that this beautiful masterpiece of a videogame was made, so here, I actually made fan art haha.. Definitely will more in the future.I did not draw the word UNDERTALE, Fight, Act, Mercy, and Item. I also did not draw the screen capture that's on the monitor on Alphys' computer. Those were all taken from screen captures of the game! Thank you!
