My Dark World version Toriel concept(s).

General idea and vibe:

-looks inspred by ,,the old times" aka.70's -bit cringy and not fitting the rest but still cool (clothing) ^4th one is exception -potion maker/ support role -has some type of purse to keep ingredients or unused potions.

Other details:

-skin gains almondy tint -flower rods open while spraying potions -disco thing ha a pouch (it's grey) and emits potion effect as sound-same does guitar/banjo. -hats don't darken her like Ralsei bc she's taller

Alternative colors:

Side sketches (click for full pic):

I think Toriel would need some time to grasp the concept.

Notes: Feel free to use, change or criticize those. I am terrible at pixelart so i wonder how it would work (probably would need a lot of changes)

...anyway, off for a week, enjoy a slice of Butterscotch-Cinnamon Pie.

There is a frog in my medicine jar, what do I do

ooh, and collect some of its slime,

you can use it to hex homophobes <3

The fact that Snape is one of the youngest if not THE youngest professor is fucking hilarious.
