Because apparently I don't sleep at night, anymore.
And apparently I think it's a good idea to chase doing a personal project with doing a public one. What even are proper breaks?
Meant to have more of the face in the picture, but I didn't plan properly. Derp.
The sketch was a lot more dynamic.
Should've used a softer canvas color.
Overall, happy with it, though.
Corel Painter Essentials and torturing the loaded palette knife brush. Two colors, one layer.

YAY, YOU'RE DRAWING AGAIN <3
Obviously I didn't see the sketch, but this is plenty dynamic. I think the angle is perfect and there's just the right amount of face in the frame. Any more would probably be too much. The wispiness of those tendrils is a lovely contrast to the solid, jagged structure of his arm and fingers, and I don't know if it's meant to be veins or branches or something else emerging from his index there, but I think the ambiguity is perfect, because it could symbolize any of those things.
This style is A++, keep it up!

I'm glad you like it! I'm hoping to do some more with this particular Gaster, with pictures that progressively reveal more about him. I wanted to do something different than the goopy tendrils and I liked the look of the wispy ones. There wasn't meant to be a full face in frame, just a little more, but I'm glad it works well this way.

When I saw this as a thumbnail, I was instantly struck by the hand. I think for the kind of picture this is and the mood it evokes, not having a full on face isn't a bad thing, it draws your attention to the pose and the beautiful anatomy that you drew front-and-center. It's going to be hard for me not to imagine A!Gaster with those hands now, they're so perfect... I'm jelly..>n<

Thanks! The fingers ended up not quite as long as I meant them to be, but overall I was very happy with how it turned out. Hands are of the devil. I have such trouble drawing them. Though this hand is reminiscent of how I imagine A!Gaster's hands to be, the Gaster here isn't him. The biggest difference would be A!Gaster's fingers are properly proportional, where-as with this one has the index finger as the longest and the others scaling down in turn. And shush, your anatomy outshines mine every time! (Weirdly, I didn't intend for the hand to be such a strong focal point and I was worried there seemed to be no pull of the gaze from the hand to the body. But it seems to work??)

Greetings.
While this is a very minimal work, it, along with your title, easily strike a chord, to me. Whether it be in the matter of mortal-finality or it's reflection Infinity, there are just enough hints in this work that it takes on the essence of the ephemeral, that moment where something changes and transmutes toward the edges and interiors of greater mysteries.
These are concepts I haven't answered in and of my own ideas for Gaster - but for all of the artwork and intangible thought and state which I hope to uncover one day, it has a similar feel. There is something to that little branch, crack, or fan of threads from Gaster's hand that draw to mind a rend in the Absolute; perhaps growth, perhaps a drawing together of tendrils of fate into something stronger, a true being having transcended into the flesh and structure of Abstracts.

Thank you! There is certainly something of the surreal and abstract in this incarnation. It's good to know that some of it came through. I'm hoping to develop it more in the future, though I also hope it doesn't disappoint when I do.

I'm often subject to my own doubts over anything I work on, even though, in the end, my work is done solely for my own need to finalize ideas.
Still, the blessings of our fellow fans are important, and the tokens of appreciation are the gems that often buoy our creative spirit.
