Description
I keep hoping it gets easier.I have a part to play. I made my choice. For the good of my kingdom. For the good of my people...my family...
That doesn't mean that what I'm doing isn't wrong. I am taking the lives of innocents. I try to tell myself that the ends justify the means...but it is hollow comfort.
I am filling my role. I just...I plead everyday...that, whether my role is that of hero or of villain, that one day I will feel like I am doing the right thing. That I will feel like a king again. That all this will get easier.
But it never does.

This is what happens when I work on comics while listening to an Undertale playlist. Especially one that features instrumental remixes of Hopes and Dreams and the Broken King. *coughcough www.youtube.com/watch?v=VU7hjD… * I get distracted. And I end up painting Asgore. Yes I love Undertale. No shame.
I love Asgore's character...I love the whole Dreemurr family, but my heart in particular goes out to goatdad. He was just trying to do the right thing, even if he was wrong to do it... and he lost his son and his wife and his peace of mind...I just want to hug the big guy and tell him it'll be okay.

UGH! THE FEEEEEEEEEEEELS!
Goatdad is definitly the most heartbreaking character to fight. The poor guy's life ended to be a living hell, from which he can't escape if you don't take the Pacifist route.

Hey, it's okay to love Undertale. I do too, as it is easily one of the best games I've played. And the characters are easily the best part of the game. There are very few games where I get emotionally attached to characters to the point where they feel real to me, and Undertale has done that. I can't choose a favorite character because I love them all so much (and will never touch the dreaded G-word route due to this) And Asgore is no exception. You have no idea how much I love this guy.
Asgore is easily one of the most overhated characters in the fandom. I see so many people bash his character without looking at his point of view. Yes, he did make a huge mistake. Killing to free everyone is not good. But this is a man who lost TWO kids in one night (Asriel and Chara) To the same species that trapped his kind for eternity in a tight space. Grief makes people do crazy stuff and people don't think clearly when they've lost a love one. Asgore clearly ordered all humans that fall in the underground to die without thinking straight, which is normal for people to do (well, not think clearly due to grief that is) Hell, during his fight in the regular pacifist run, and during the times you speak to him before and after you get his health to 1 HP, he regrets what he's done and has suffered from all the killing, but since his people had hope after he gave the killing humans order, that's something hard to take back, especially if you're a king. You have to do the best for your people after all. (and let's be honest, Toriel has made a lot of mistakes too, as well as, i dunno, EVERY CHARACTER IN THE GAME)
I remember first fighting Asgore in my first run of the game. I was doing a Pacifist run and I got to Asgore. I remember shaking. I had did my best to not kill anyone, and I was prepared to fight the very guy that killed six humans before me, and would do the same thing to me. When I first saw Asgore, I didn't see a heartless tyrant, but a broken soul. Someone who didn't want to fight me, but felt he had to. When Asgore broke the Mercy option, I panicked. You have no idea how much it hurt me fighting him. This was one of the most painful boss fights I've ever done simply because I did not want to hurt this man. And when he was on his knees at 1 HP, and explained to me about why he acted the way he did and regrets his actions, I cried. I didn't hesitate to spare him when he asked me to kill him. How could I kill someone who's been through so much. I wish there was a hug option after that, because I wanted to hug the poor guy and tell him that even with everything that he's done to the previous humans and everything he did to try to kill me, I forgive him and would tell him that it'll be okay.
Long comment, but I just love Asgore so much and he doesn't deserve all the hate he's been getting. And you did such an amazing job with this picture and captured the pain Asgore went though from the game.

First, you like Undertale? Yes!
Second, this. This is absolutely beautiful. I love how you drew the barrier. I wish I could draw that. And Asgore is such a deep and emotional character, it's a shame he gets a lot of hate from fans. He's probably my favorite undertale character.
...Well, besides Burgerpants.

He really is. He had such good intentions and loved his family and people so deeply...plus, hello, he's enormous and fluffy. You can't beat that.
And as for painting the barrier, I just made lots of rectangles using the rectangle tool and messed with their opacity. It's just like a hundred rectangles all at 50% opacity, and I did the same thing for the main black line of the barrier. Not too hard.

I just want to give the big guy a hug! He was doing what he thought was best for his people. Life as a king can be tough sometimes.
Still better than how I draw the barrier. I tried once, I mean, it wasn't bad, but I probably could've done better.

Asgoooore!!! I love Undertale, yet I have mixed feelings about it. But I agree. I love the whole Dreemurr family as well. I feel like all of the main characters of Undertale just have so much heart to them.
Like, sometimes I imagine *spoilers* how Sans must have felt knowing that he would be facing up to the very being who had heartlessly killed everyone he knew and loved. Not only that, but he had to straight up face and conquer his own lazy, pseudo-apathetic tendencies. Like, what would be going through your mind, knowing that you'd have to stand in the way of the most feared being in the entire monster world, and hoping, yet knowing that you probably would meet the very same fate as every other monster who'd tried before you? Man.....
Anyway, this is a beautiful piece expressing some of the emotions of what truly is a tragic circumstance.

It truly is a masterfully told story.

Agreed. I'd love to be able to say that I've written a story that can touch another person as much as I was impacted by Undertale.
