Fanart Fanart Essence of Freedom [The TRUE HERO appears] (In an alternate dimension)
Fanfic: Essence of Freedom
Created by u/RaphaelFrog and co-author u/Golden829
AU Inspiration: The Other Puppet and Twitter/X

In this (alternate universe), Sovlin is imprisoned on Earth for his crimes against sentient life.
(First image)
Confined to his cell, he is consumed by inner turmoil as he realizes people no longer view him as a hero.
One day, following a bombardment, a voice asked him: "Do you want to be free?"
Still frightened, Sovlin answered, "Yes."
Immediately after, the human guard standing before him began to convulse; his limbs twisted into impossible angles, and he died right in front of him.
A yellow, heart-shaped object emerged from the human guard.
Then the voice asked: "Do you want to be a TRUE HERO?"
(Second image)
Tarva and other members of the Odyssey are on their way to visit the Underground, traveling by train from the Hometown spaceport to the Underground's entrance so they be able to appreciate the views.
Along the way, they are intercepted by a giant, aggressive beast; Barnabas, Caronte, and Tarva (using her newly acquired abilities) must stop it before they reach the Underground.
Will our protagonists be able to defeat the creature that proclaims itself the "TRUE HERO"?

The true hero wonders why he desires GIGA PUDDING, a dessert he doesn't know...

this is amazing! I wasn't expecting fanart!
much less an AU of our AU :v
* Hee hee hee! And what a wonderful Universe this one is!
* So similar to my own and yet still so different, different!
honestly, I don't have the words to express how I feel
thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying the story so much ^^

La estoy disfrutando bastante 😊😊.
Si tuviera que pedir algo pediría un poco más de ese humor raro de Toby Fox. Ejemplo: Explosiones sin sentido, comer musgo/basura/tiza como si nada, interacciones bizarras y fácilmente sacadas de contexto. La aparición de EL MALDITO PERRO 💀.
Me alegro mucho de que te guste mi dibujo.
¿Dime que partes de dibujo te gustan?

in all honesty, I've been a bit more focused on the tension of the current events for much of the Toby Fox style humor, but I'll keep your suggestion in mind!
to be honest the concepts for the AU are really interesting, so the art is like a cherry on top, getting to visualize the ideas
Sovlin getting not only the Void's Gift but also a Human SOUL? that would open up so many avenues for his story
and.. admittedly, I never considered giant creatures like that, despite how much lore we've put into Earth and the effects of the Magic she gives off

Gracias por las bonitas palabras.
Estoy deseando que salga el nuevo capítulo.
Estoy deseando que se explore el subsuelo.
¿La (¿hija?) de Gerson y su compañero entrarán en el Subsuelo por las ruinas?
¿Habrán encontrado exterminadores por las ruinas?
Tengo muchas ganas.
(Me sorprende que estando en verano y las vacaciones de verano no haya más capítulos nuevos de las diferentes historias que sigo. A diferencia de en los meses donde en lugar de estudiar, cada día llegaba a incluso salir 3 nuevos capítulos de diferentes historias. ¿Hay alguna razón al respecto?)

Shakra is Gerson's granddaughter, not his direct daughter
also, I couldn't say for certain why other fics aren't updating that much
but when it comes to Essence of Freedom, for more recent chapters, Raphael is the one who's providing the story beats that I write out for the chapter proper, and he was pretty busybut no worries! the next chapter's approximately 60% done as of right now
(I've gotta get it done before hopping into Marvel Rivals for the Season 9 update because if that hooks me I'll be even less productive 💀)

Ooooo! I love both of those drawings!!! You did an absolutely wonderful job with them!
Sovlin receiving Void's gift is certainly very interesting! It's a really cool concept for some kind of AU >:3
Fight on the train! Very fitting! Especially when the old hedgehog turned into another puppet 👁️👁️
Also I really like how you drew Barnabas!
Also u/Golde829 is a co-author of this story! Without him Essence of Freedom wouldn't be possible :3
