r/MartletAppreciation

I recreated that martlet statue I made in terraria before but with martlet's new sprite ^v^
also includes a little build guide with what tile & paint combos I used so you can make it yourself!
*(that tile/paint combo with the sign above it seems unused as far as I can tell but I didn't bother removing it)

Howdy! I'm uh... well, not really well known for it, but a lot of people saw me estimate Martlet's weight in a comment a while ago. But, that old estimate had a lot of problems, so... here's a new and improved estimate, along with my reasonings for it. Also, NO AI WAS USED IN THIS POST WHATSOEVER, not for calculations, not for the title, not for the pictures, nothing. Also, this calculation was done for Martlet's old overworld sprites, not her updated ones. I believe they are the same height, but I'm unsure.

So, first off, the problems with my previous calculations. I essentially imagined Clover as 12 years old, and the average height of a 12 year old is 5 feet. I then assumed Martlet to be around 7 feet tall, and then scaled a bluejay to around that height. The problem with that, is that a bluejay at that height would be WAY bigger than Martlet.

Also, I pretty much just assumed Clover was five feet tall. So, first, we figure out Clover's height. So, we do know that Martlet implies Clover will be fully grown when the monsters leave the underground. So, since we know enough time has passed between Undertale Yellow and Undertale for most monsters to forget what a human looks like, we can assume it has been several years. For the sake of this, we'll assume Undertale Yellow takes place eight years before the events of Undertale. It's long enough for most monsters to forget what humans look like, and, its about as long as it took Undertale Yellow to release after Undertale.

So, assuming Clover reaches fully grown around the time Undertale takes place, we can get an estimate on Clover's potential height during Undertale Yellow, and also age.

If Clover is a biological female (since Clover's actual gender isn't confirmed, I'll just be using their biological sex to estimate heights)- They should stop growing at around 15. So, that means Clover is around 7 years old as of the events of Undertale Yellow.

If Clover is a biological male- They should stop growing at around 18, so Clover is around 10 years old.

In either scenario, taking the average weight and height of Clover leads to Clover being somewhere between seven and ten years old, between four feet and 4 foot 8.

So, we know Clover is 30 pixels tall in Undertale Yellow, so one pixel is anywhere between 1.6 inches (four centimeters) and 2 inches (five centimeters). Martlet is 53 pixels tall (in her overworld sprite), so martlet is anywhere between 7 feet (85 inches, or 216 cm) and just under 9 feet tall (106 inches, 270 cm).

So, let's go back to the bluejay estimate (even though Martlet is NOT a bluejay, this is just used for feather covering, bone structure, etc), assuming Martlet is eight feet tall. Assuming you took a bluejay and made it eight feet long, it's pretty similar in size to Martlet. The average bluejay is around a foot long, so scaling it up to seven feet, Martlet would weigh 343 times that. If eight feet, 512 times that. If 9, 729 times that.

So, in total, Martlet is between seven and nine feet tall, and anywhere between 1200 ounces and 2552 ounces, or, between 75 and 160 pounds (34-73 kg).

TL;DR: Martlet is between 7 to 9 feet tall, and between 75 and 160 pounds (34-73 kg). If she's eight feet tall, she weighs around 112 pounds (51 kg).

Martlet is trusting you with her back. Will you take up the duty?

shes so glorious

Back in December of last year I was blessed by the angel above and received a Golden Frying Pan in Team Fortress 2! I almost had a heart attack when I saw what I had been given 0v0 like I was literally in shock and denial for a whole night or 2 and could not sleep haha... I'm really happy about it! I've been distracted with other things lately, but Martlet has never escaped my thoughts and I'm glad to finally share what is probably my biggest achievement in all of gaming with this lil art idea I've had for a good while now.

If you did not know, this is one of the rarest items in the game, with an estimated 1/10,000 chance to drop, and they are worth a few thousand G! Safe to say our creative blue birb will have her building ideas funded for a long time now! > v < The Golden Pan turns slain foes into gold statues, so who else better for Martlet to swing her shiny new upgraded weapon at than that insufferable flower? \v/

I based the exact colors off some UF Yellow sprites I saw a while ago from u/tntaro (according to the spritesheet I have saved) but the design (for both mine and tntaro's I believe) is the UF Yellow designs from @/Pantamonte on Twitter.
