The Fiery Beast - Geno

Blessed Messiah and the Tower of AI AU - Part 2
I got a choice to choose between Geno or Edge because both have hot-tempered personalities relating to their red eyes. My final decision is Geno with my reasons below.

In Aftertale, Geno was about to melt from determination but his new soul trait brought him as a survivor demanding revenge with his "bloody red" burning eye on the human who stole his life and timeline. Even if it means to sacrifice himself, he was clouded in his revenge and believed his universe is better off if everybody died to end the endless cycle.

The creator of Aftertale is the owner of three different skeletons inspired by Sans: Geno, Fresh and Error. In that order, Geno is the oldest and Error as the youngest, going by their date creation. Without Geno, Fresh and Error would fit perfectly for the next two roles after him when the song referencing the older or younger sibling of the remaining two.

Geno is the medic of the group, referencing to his title as the Ultimate Pharmacist in UnderDespair and the determination drug. His relationship to Sci is more of a "descended relative" since he came from a future genocide-route Undertale timeline (while Sci came before Undertale existed). He's closer with his "adopted or non-blood related brothers" Error and Fresh since they're from the same creator.

When the second chamber appears, Geno threatens Sci as he takes the next blessing after G. Geno makes a bold move and prepared to win the trial with his life, risky or not. His timeline and universe were already taken from him and there's nothing left for Geno to lose as the room closed him in.

The second blessing is the "Fiery Beast" with the elemental power of fire, resulting in Geno’s death melting from external flames.



When I start drawing Geno's part, I didn't expect to finish this around an hour or so, which I share him with Fresh's speedpaint video after his. Most of that is because I didn't need to fix most of the lineart from the sketch over a week ago.

I really like how it turned out in the colours and special effects. The shading on Geno's scarf is more of an experimentation of cross-hatching different ways. The flaw is my overlook in anatomy after I published it. His arm isn't wide in the sleeve's width like how I often draw for thick jackets and hoodies.

In the end, it didn't bother me too much because I can't help looking at the colours fit perfectly for Geno (despite his blue part of his eye). I forgot to add the red slash over his top before but I couldn't help how good he looks with or without the cut.

P.S. For the speedpaint of Geno, see the second-half of Fresh's part.
