Tim Burton's Undertale - Comic Sans

Answering questions and clearing information.
So, me and Ceiling have noticed comments in criticizing the model in terms of how it looks over all relating to mesh and texture work. We really appreciate this guys, it helps us look into what needs to be worked on as we progress through the other chraracters in the drawings Gidan had made. Though there are comments, some non existant in this comment section and some being removed via user intention, that critizise the model in a way as to in a way of saying, "Why? Why make this model, and why make it look like this? This is so poorly done and it looks NOTHING like Sans. This model is just bad in every shape and form."

I'm not going to lie, that was actually a PM I recived in critizism for the model. I know there are some extream fans of the game when they see a Undertale model release, they want to see it like picture perfect or just looking good like if it were from the game, etc and so on.

I want to clear up some of these comments and questions now while I have the chance in doing so. These answers/explanations are not in order, but I encourage you read on.

Yes, we are making more then just Sans. In the description, I linked Gidan's DA so you can see more work he has done, especially the Tim Burton style Undertale Charaters.

It takes time to make models, especially with refrence. Sometimes things need to be guessed in how big or how wide some parts of bodys need to be with little to so much refrence. It may not be pin point accurate but its appreciated its been done anyway.

The textures and mesh are semi rough creations of the planed final product. I intended to release the model and make adjustments later on then never releaseing the model at all. To me, I rather release a WIP creation then just releaseing a final product; this also gives us the critizism we need to look onto as we progress more in Sans and the other planned models.

Why not make Sans and the rest of Undertale's main characters this style? Allot of models are made by inspiration and dedication to make it so. I had an Idea, I gave it to Celing, we both came the the conclusion to make this a project to keep us busy and enjoyment of making models.

The model is still Work In Proggress (WIP) so of course some things like the texutres and mesh are not going to look so great.

We are not going to make every single character, or characters that are not in refrence, in the Tim Burton style. Though if Gidan does make another picture with some more characters in this style, we may or may not consider it. We do need to stop somewhere after all; good things come to an end for reasons.

Harsh critizism such as, "This model is terrible, the texture and mesh work just needs to be all redone," blah blah we get the picture by now, is just really unnessisary. To be honast, if this is critizism there should be atleast some things that you should point out on what needs to be improved on other then texture and mesh work. We can note this to see what we can do to make it to everyone's liking, but to just say it's bad in general is not even critizsm. This is just a comment saying its bad; if you don't really have anything nice to say I dont think it will be worth it to comment on it. It will make you look like you are "that" kind of guy, and I don't really want people to make fools of themselves.

All in all, if you don't really have anything nice to say or if you don't really have citizism about the model, its not worth the time and effort to make a harsh comment. It may sound like I am being a guy who is "anal" about harsh words or critizism, but belive me I am not when it comes to this. I just don't want people to make themselves look like they are an ass by saying these things. It's just really unessisary and that is about it.

There is more I like to cover on, but this is the majority of questions and subjects that are needed to be touched on. Also forgive me for the bad grammer, it is not my best at the moment. Thank you to those whom read this far down in my ramblings and nonsence. Hopefully this clears the air on some of the things that itches you a little on the Tim Burton's Undertale Project. Again, thank you for reading and have a nice day.
