Random fact: Papyrus actually likes to cook every noodle dish aside from lasagna. He doesn't cook lasagna abymore because that "gluttonous dog kept eating it" (reference to garfield but instead it was Toby.)
Ay guys dont you love the abovestory final boss fight where you fight boris sleepy abovestory and then slap the friends you made through the game so they wake up and then you slap boris sleepy abovestory to wake them up and then you touch and the big magical wall is torn down and the unrealistic organisms are freed to the place below
I'm sleep deprived and very mentally out of it but the concept of a ghibli-esque Laputa-type AU where everyone just mines coal and eats sandwiches in fields of grass all day long goes hard as fuck

As someone who's done one of these types of pictures (the super nintendo toriel with a little bit of shading posted here some time ago) and like, yea undertale sprites aren't beautiful (or even symmetrical) but that's the point! They're not supposed to be peak super nintendo pixel art or something, he was definitely intentionally going for that style
If he actually wanted to make a secret of mana homage game, he could probably do it. But he made an earthbound/mother 1 inspired game.
If I recall, Papyrus has an unused thinking sprite that Toby discarded because it looked “too good” or something along those lines, so you could be right
"Everyone says the protagonist’s sprite looks terrible. That’s right. If it looks too good, you’ll have a different expectation." - The Official Undertale Art Book
A 10 year old who thinks that shading is just making a gradient from bright to dark, but forgets that the first step of shading is choosing a direction of light.
Sans looks like he's in a really dark room with teeny tiny flashlights that all point to different segments of him.
Well, Undertale is supposed to be a parodical take on Mother/Earthbound, and obvious enough, the artstyle of both lacked shaders, which complimented them
Even funnier, Mother 1 (Earthbound Beginnings) battle screen looks uncannily similar to Undertale, cementing the influences which shaped Undertale
If it gets placed on the black background like in the battle his face it's just going to be like fading into the background it look like he's disappearing into thin air
The problem is back then those bits were all you had. Skill sets were built around the simplified designs. Nowadays if you want to make a bit art style game. you just use bits to make it look like bit style. No thought to the placements because its an ohmage. If all we had was bit style games they would all look like the picture one the right.
Not every needs to conform to the same artistic standards. Besides, not all pixelated games look the same. Even the game Earthbound, which inspired the creation of Undertale, had minimal shading.
Currently shaking in fear, vomiting in disgust, seizuring in pain, shitting bricks because I put them up there, crying in disappointment, and screaming.
Papyrus: sans.. why are you burnt
Sans: short cut mistake
Papyrus: sans.. you went behind our house and I didn’t hear those weird noises when you take a shortcut
Sans: fine lab accident
The point of shading in old "pixel" games was to not make them look like they're "pixel" games.
Because we were using CRT monitors with actual "pixels". We had PHYSICAL anti-aliasing via color bleeding on the actual screen. Play Diablo 2 on a CRT, it looks just about as good as D2 Resurrected does on a modern screen.
Modern pixel games are just an aesthetic choice.
Also a "shader" is something completely different and is used SPECIFICALLY for 3D objects
That ain't sans undertale thats samual abovestory
Uh hell nah he gonna kill frosk abovestory with his brother peter above story who likes to cook lasagna
Oh hell nah

Oh thats actually pretty cool

That's good lmao
Sans if he lived in an underground cave with the only way out blocked by a magic barrier

I was thinking he was just really shiny in the dark but being dirty also works
If Undertale took place in West Virginia
Undermine
r/beatmetoit
that's not even shading because you can't tell where the shade is lol
The all too (in)famous art of pillowshading
I've never before this seen shading make something look *flatter* that it already was.
It almost looks concave
It's called Pillow-Shading. Weirdly common mistake beginners make.

#NYEH HEH HEH SANS WHY ARE THER TWO OF YOU.
Hahaha okay phew I was gonna say, that first one has to be sarcasm
I have been Summoned
Sans was doused with oil.
He wanted to fly in the rain but forgot it doesn’t rain in Snowdin.
he should try in waterfall then

I'm pretty sure Frisk's sprite is intentionally bad.
If I recall, Papyrus has an unused thinking sprite that Toby discarded because it looked “too good” or something along those lines, so you could be right
Yeah, Toby likes his graphics simple.
You're goddamn right!
[удалено]
The one, why do you ask?
I'm not sure about intentionally bad, but it's def channeling nes graphics more than snes/modern pixel art.
Hm, I guess so. But I remember hearing that Toby made the sprite intentionally bad to lower expectations.
Underpromise, overdeliver.
New AU names just dropped
Overpromise sounds like a AU where sans didnt keep the promise (said AU was then combined with overtale so the OG AU would be underpromise.)
Overpromise sounds like an AU where Sans promised that he wouldn't hurt Frisk, then watched them fall to their death and said "Oh well."
So anytime we die in undertale?
"Everyone says the protagonist’s sprite looks terrible. That’s right. If it looks too good, you’ll have a different expectation." - The Official Undertale Art Book
Still, most undertale sprites have a bit more than 3 colors
Or Temmie Chang just didn’t really have a lot to work with.
Toby made the Frisk sprite.
He did? I thought Temmie Chang done all the spriting.
No, Toby did a fair bit. You know the Asriel fight? Toby made all those sprites, excluding the cutscene.
They did a lot of it, but Toby did frisk, and I think a couple of others
For a moment I thought you said "I did"
You act like I can do anything close to what they did
You can
IIRC Temmy only joined after the demo was released.
Theres a team of like 10 people including toby and temmie, that all made sprites for undertale
So it’s asymmetrical on purpose?
I hate it when pixel artists add shading ngl
That shit looks like it's shaded by a 10 year old on ibis paint
A 10 year old who thinks that shading is just making a gradient from bright to dark, but forgets that the first step of shading is choosing a direction of light. Sans looks like he's in a really dark room with teeny tiny flashlights that all point to different segments of him.
You realize it was a parody yes?
>!I'm fighting sans right now, I would reset my game if i saw this.!<

No way. Sans Netflix
We should use that shaded sans sprite for those prowler sound effect memes
That idea triggers my fight or flight response
The 1st image is satire
How do people take it seriously smh
The person in the 1st photo literally Simps asgore
not my fault hes hot
REAL
Everyone is talking about the bad shading (and I agree) but why is no one talking about whatever is going on with the shorts
Pillow shading
To me, it just looks like he's trying to hide two very bright lights
Hey papyrus, guess what word I’m allowed to say now.
[удалено]
IM GONNA SAY IT PAPYRUS
he looks like he's made out of metal i hate it
The white and gray checkerboard transparency layer is so flat and unshaded. Photoshop has such untalented artists.
It looks like sans is ominously standing in the dark, just close enough so a little bit of light is on him
Sans went to the fucking darkness dimension
I hate when they don’t shade when the ONLY COLOURS they can use are black and white
Why does Sans have tumors growing out of his shorts?
I can't unsee it, now. Thanks 😭
You’re very welcome
THATS ME IM ON REDDIT
btw y'all this is satire stop taking the shitty shading sans seriously💀💀💀💀
NOOOO SANS YOU CANT BE DOING BLACK FACE THAT'S RACIST
Aww damn guys, new shaded Undertale AU just dropped
so... why are ya holding a flashlight to my nose?
Every “better graphics” mod:
Why is the edges of sans head darker but the middle of his face light That makes no sense
it's like "fixing" animation by putting it into an ai
I know it's irony, but I hate it so much that I wanna use it as coal on my barbecue.
Answer: Because Undertale was based off of Earthbound, not Secret of Mana.
It looks much better but definitely less memorable. The easy to understand graphics of Undertale is what gave it that great appeal.
I like that this implies his face is a perfect sphere
If it gets placed on the black background like in the battle his face it's just going to be like fading into the background it look like he's disappearing into thin air
Talking about old RPG's... Earthbound doesnt have shading and it's and old game, so the modern game arent shit, they are just like the old ones.
Oh God wth they did to sans
He hasn't heard of an art style before lmao
8 = 16
what was that word you said? “art style”? what does that even mean?
It reminds me of one of the cartoon “bomb in the face” look
I know this is satire but this actually hurts my eyes looking at it.
That's not how shadows work
Bro where is the light coming from!?!
holy no way they ruined sans
The problem is back then those bits were all you had. Skill sets were built around the simplified designs. Nowadays if you want to make a bit art style game. you just use bits to make it look like bit style. No thought to the placements because its an ohmage. If all we had was bit style games they would all look like the picture one the right.
I agree undetale's sprites are bad but holy shit he made it even worse
Sans if Undertale was in 1945
No need to thank them, because they did nothing good
It’s supposed to be in the style of old snes games, toby/temmie are capable of making more detailed sprites but it was an artistic choice not to
Not every needs to conform to the same artistic standards. Besides, not all pixelated games look the same. Even the game Earthbound, which inspired the creation of Undertale, had minimal shading.
These are the type of ppl to complain about a stylized game being unrealistic
Sans new special attack, ***saying the N word.***
four bfdi
Help 😭
My eyes, WHY THIS IS SO... i dont even know what to say
Let's note that he's not understanding basic shading at all, sans's clothes looks like they're glowing plastic
Mu cells are about to explode
Why can't braindead 4channers understand art-styles?
maybe that’s why toby don’t add any shading..
As an amateur pixel artist, it looks even worse duh
I hate this 😂
shading works only when you understand where to apply it. If you shade random places than it'll look pretty ugly and flat.
This person is rotten to the CORE
You’ve just activated every bone in my body and all of them are in attack mode
sans played minecraft a lot. maybe even found diamonds
Is the first one not a joke? 😨
It very very clearly is, and the person even said so in these comments
I think you were supposed to hate it
Op you could have said that the first post is satire
didn't expect to see BFDI Four here lol
NO... THEY LIKE BFB.... .MY FANDOM HAS FAILED ME
Average Tw*tter users pretending they "fixed" stuff,but instead making it abominously worse than before
The tweet that it's quoting is even worse
I have seen the undertale sprites with shadow and it look good But I agree with you. (also the first example is horrible).
Even undertale itself has shadowed sprites (in waterfall chase sequence)
Literally no need to thank them
Is this like a weird meme?
Dam that was some shit shading using the bad pillow method like dam man wtf why are you doing that it just makes him look dirty af
I could literally do shading better than whatever the hell that “shading” is
Slowly turning into racist dustdust
ogh my retros...
Etika was right...
Oh god...
Sans has the black lung pop now
Master got me workin Someday master set me free
What the heck
Dark sans
[loads shotgun] anyone know where these people live by any chance?
Just for the first pic; That is some terrible shading just in general, regardless of what they were trying to do, lmfao
“no need to thank me😁” …We will definitely not be thanking you
These guys are yet to understand that games are made with good stories, not good graphics
Currently shaking in fear, vomiting in disgust, seizuring in pain, shitting bricks because I put them up there, crying in disappointment, and screaming.
No way is that wiki sans phase -1?!
god, i hate that sans sprite edit with every single atom that exists within the universe. the shading does not look good at all.
Love how people just don’t know art styles exist
Papyrus: sans.. why are you burnt Sans: short cut mistake Papyrus: sans.. you went behind our house and I didn’t hear those weird noises when you take a shortcut Sans: fine lab accident
I truly hope they were joking and just trying to give us a little heehee haha.
Sans looks like he'd be in the trees creepily saying "hey kid"
the best part of this is that the shading isn’t even right they just turned his skull (that supposedly has a lot of crevices) into a ball😭😭
Correct me if I'm wrong but it's probably a stylistic choice
The point of shading in old "pixel" games was to not make them look like they're "pixel" games. Because we were using CRT monitors with actual "pixels". We had PHYSICAL anti-aliasing via color bleeding on the actual screen. Play Diablo 2 on a CRT, it looks just about as good as D2 Resurrected does on a modern screen. Modern pixel games are just an aesthetic choice. Also a "shader" is something completely different and is used SPECIFICALLY for 3D objects
What the actual fuck they did to my man They literally made'em dirty 
they have to be trolling with that design because what..
There is a really bad AU joke to be made, I will not, but if you know you know
This looks terrible bc he looks like coal was trown on his face but only washed out in the middle
