Undertale Wallpaper: Lost Soul Sans

First of all, this piece had a very positive first impression. The details are nice, you could immediately tell whose the character, etc. Personally I really like how you made the glitches not that opaque, as it gives off that sort of "realistic" vibe a opposed to a solid block, since it would appear as if he's trapped behind a screen as opposed to this one where it looks like you are actually standing face to face with this pun loving skelebro.

If there's anything I'll be nitpicking, its the background. I read about the various motifs you added, the meanings behind the details you put in the background. I think that its nice as it is, but I would like to suggest various ways to improve it.

To begin, I noticed how you tried to hide some of the colors, specifically the yellow one. If you want to avoid using the actual color yellow, try using a really desaturated green. Since the color palette is mainly compromised of shades of blues and indigos, using a desaturated green will make it appear as if its the color yellow alongside the blue tones.

Now for the specifics. Beginning with the "Pale Blue". For the 12 stripes, what you could've one was draw an actual silhouette of a clock behind him, and draw in the roman numerals of the numbers as it being an emphasis for it being a clock, if you even just add the numerical numbers in a circle it would already be good enough for a "clock". If you want, you could even draw a clock, lower its opacity and sprinkle it throughout the background of the image, have some face sideways, shift perspectives, etc. You could even add a really faint glow to it, use a lighter color to emphasize its "glowiness"

For the "Dark blue, you mentioned how its supposed to be shaped like a heart. Now, I have two attacks on this particular aspect of this piece, its really fragmented, distorted and "floaty" that you need to double, even triple check to notice that its an actual heart. Now, that could be GOOD if you wanted to have that effect, the heart being an elaborate easter egg that if you notice you'll go "ahh so that's a heart". However, its BAD if you want the audience to actually notice that it's a heart because the shape is so undefined, the tip of the heart is too rounded to be noticed at a glance.

As for the yellow; its either you absolutely ditch it or you emphasize it even further. The yellow lines on the bottom look like tiretracks if anything. Its either you boldly present it via making some of the glitches yellow, maybe add the yellow as "whirls" in the purple heart, or add it as a vaguely visible glow in his eye, or you just ditch it. I noticed that there are some yellow glitches, but because of the, uhh, "lack of color theory" (couldn't phrase it better) it appears greenish and out of place. Same applies to the purple bits at the edge of the image, it looks like tire tracks. 

Here's a great tutorial on color theory that explains better what I was talking about on the yellows and such


I hope I didn't come out as rude or anything, and I hope i was able to be of any help
