From Undertale Wiki

Temmie "Tuyoki" Chang is a freelance animator and illustrator.[5][6] She is a main artist in Undertale and Deltarune. A monster present in both games is named after her.

Early life

Temmie Chang grew up in a suburb[7] when she began drawing on DeviantArt in 2006 and learned pixel art approximatively in 2008.[8][9] The name "Tuyoki" come from her character "Yokii" she made when she was in 6th grade.[10] Her love for JRPGs came from Nippon Ichi Software games where "the main character could swear" and "be a bad person".[11]

The first thing Temmie worked on as an artist was the Momodora series for her friend Rdein.[12] She graduated from the Pratt Institute with a degree in 2D animation.[13][14] She is friends with easynam since 2010[15] and puppiesandanime since 2012.[16]

Undertale

Temmie began to work on Undertale when Toby Fox sent her a Tumblr DM while she was in college because of a Homestuck fanart, which developped into a long-standing frienship.[17][18] Due to the developpement streching to her senior year, she couldn't contribute as much as the earlier parts of the game.[19] Fortunately, thanks to the success of Undertale, she has been able to pay her student debts.[20]

Temmie is credited as the logo designer, cutscene artist, overworld artist, animator, shop artist, and tile artist. She participated in the conception of the following characters:

For the console versions, she illustrated the borders that surround the game[21][22] and illustrated the Undertale story booklet for the UNDERTALE Collector's edition. She also created 2D animations of Mad Mew Mew for the Nintendo Switch release trailer.[23] Lastly, Temmie does the illustrations and pixel art of the Newsletter.
