Dark thoughts don’t die completely, but everyone can find a way to keep them from causing too much damage.
In case I didn’t make it obvious, Alphys is the Undertale character I relate to the most. So, on one of my more depressed days, I imagined her getting out of a similar state. And then, when I felt better, I drew it. And then took a long time to finish it due to being busy.
Also, I’m still working on a consistent way to color/shade the scaly ladies.

Whooho! Here’s part 2 and I’ve acutally been a little faster with that one! I’m also slowly getting the hang of how to draw Alphys, she’s incredibly tricky. Meanwhile Undyne is refreshingly easy to do, because she lacks the human features I’m most troubled with – ears and nose! =B
About the white stripeys in the background, um … Well, I needed a light source for the shading I chose, so I invented one! They want to be distant cracks in the cave walls, when they grow up, letting in light of the outside world. Let’s not talk about how this probably doesn’t make much sense.To see a bigger version click here

Jeeeez, I can’t believe I did it, but I did it! W-well, at least a part of it. For some reason I wanted to draw out this scene so badly and I do plan on completing it, but I don’t know how long it’ll take me. This strip took me 1.5 months now, so yeah. But I finally wanted to get out some quality stuff again.
Undertale is a gem. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so enchanted by a game or any fictional story. I could probably write a hundred paragraphs and still not be done expressing my love for the brilliant plot, all these lovable characters and everything.

Gneeeeeeeeeeeee~
First of all, he doesn’t get more depressed as time goes on. His behavior changes only marginally as runs go, and mostly in response to Frisks’ expressions. He’d grow less happy as resets become more common, in that case. And he doesn’t. His mental state remains the same on the tenth run as it was on the first run.
Hm. I’d agree he’s in a better position to make sense of his feelings, since he understands time travel. The thing is, people usually write Sans as if he has some strong connection between the timelines and ability to make sense of it, well and beyond other monsters. I’d argue that he doesn’t even know MORE than any other monster, that Undyne is probably the monster that remembers the most. Make the most sense of the impressions he has? Sure. But ‘memory’ is a strong word for the things that monsters have after resets or LOADs, especially considering how many people consider Sans to have near-total recall.
And anyway, is he that depressed? Like I get that people like to give Sans a lot of existential angst and that’s a fine headcanon, fine but the closest we get to seeing him ever really looking and sounding tortured is, uh, either after everyone he knows and loves is dead or when we’re in LOST SOUL mode, and he seems to be talking about a completely unrelated event.
Anon, you realize that depression doesn’t necessarily need to be triggered by a severe event to *be* severe itself, right? Sometimes it just starts as a screwy chemical imbalance in the brain, that on a good day makes it hard to give shits, and on a bad day makes every downward turn in life twenty times more demoralizing than it’d otherwise be.
I’m just saying, Sans can be depressed without it all being related to timeline angst. He doesn’t show existential despair over the existence of resets outside of NM (where, everyone is dead, at the hands of an unstoppable entity – a really fucking bad enough situation to deal with without having a case of the badbrains on top!), and, like saveloadreset says, whatever he’s talking about in the Lost Soul fight seems likely to be more related to the workshop, Gaster, etc, than to anything Frisk’s done.
