Planning for stories and stuff.
Word, dawg.

note: this intro hasn't been thoroughly updated in a couple years

This is a world I made mostly for my own use, but I made it a public world anyways. I'll be posting things about story outlines, my characters, my comics (including fan comics), WIPs, ect... It's pretty much a world where I can store information and/or plan things. xD

Below are short descriptions of my stories to help you know what's going on. xD It also shows which characters are in which story, along with their extended profile if I have one made. Some stories aren't mentioned because I don't work on/think about them often. Therefore, not all of my characters are mentioned.

Pencil Sketches

Kind of not related, but I've started to go back and replace the images that aren't working. There's a lot of them, so I haven't gotten very far at all, haha;;;; BUT UH, can someone tell me if there are even images that aren't showing up, for them? I wonder if it's just my computer that doesn't want to load the images. The images start disappearing around page 4.

ANYWAY, sup guys. I've been feeling kind of meh about sketching digitally, lately, so I've started using my sketchbook again. :V DRAWING ON PAPER IS SO NICE, BUT IT'S JUST... SO SMALL, AND I DON'T HAVE ROOM ON MY DESK FOR A LARGE SKETCHBOOK... I like that I can zoom in and out digitally and undo and stuff, but I just like the way sketchbooks feel. :V Anyway, have a couple sketches.

Hey yo, it's Gabe.
It's super weird for me to actually like drawing Gabe's hair. xD I FEEL LIKE... I MORE OR LESS UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE DOING NOW...! It's still a ridiculous hairstyle, but you know. At least I get it. I've been doing some weird stuff with his eyebrows lately, though. I just keep drawing thicker eyebrows on everyone, soon enough no one will have foreheads--it'll just be eyebrows. (?????)
I kind of want to ink and color this for fun, but I'm really uncertain about my traditional inking capabilities. xD Haven't inked in forever, yo...;;; BUT IDK, MAYBE I'LL GIVE IT A SHOT!

Weird quality, sorry. This is Kasey, if you can't tell. I wanted to draw her in that outfit I made for her, again. I'm thinking I'll just scan this and use the cleaned up sketch as the line art, and just color it. It came out pretty good for those Secret Santa drawings, hopefully it'll look good with this! :V
This sort of float-sitting pose is like the easiest thing for me to draw. Idk why drawing people standing is so hard! ;u;/ It's partially because my sketchbook is kind of too small for me to comfortably draw people standing, but I think it's also just that I have a hard time conceptualizing how people balance their weight standing up... So yeah, just gonna stick to float sitting for now.

This is all I've got, wooo. WOW, SUCH A SHORT POST! I feel like that never happens anymore, haha. Thanks for viewing!

????

Okay, so there are a ton of broken links in this world, and I have no idea why. It's only happening to image links that I've taken directly from tumblr, for some reason... but weirdly, it's not happening to all of them. Hmmrr????
What it is is that some of the links I've posted here don't match up with what the links are on tumblr, for some reason. WHICH DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE, IDK WHY THE LINKS WOULD CHANGE...!
I wonder why this is happening. :I Weh.
I'll get around to redoing the links so the images are visible eventually, but meh.

Some Stuff

I tried to post this yesterday, but accidentally closed the page. orz SO HERE WE GO AGAIN...!

Some Gabe heads. Gabe's head used to be the easiest for me to draw (because it's the most similar to how I used to draw heads, but now Gabe's head is one of the more difficult ones to draw... especially as far as head angles go. Noland's is probably the easiest, because it's basically just an oval. :^D;
I like when I get Gabe's expressions right, though. *U*/ Gabe's been trouble for me ever since I created him, but I just... really like him, haha...

I like how the original sketch looked, too, so I guess I'll include it. :9
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY ABOUT THIS, IT'S JUST STEFAN AND GABE BEING CORNY AND CUTE. :^D;;; I want to draw more Stefan and Gabe comics, gah... I just feel weird that I always post these corny drawings of the two of them, but I hardly give you guys any context on their relationship. xD Comics just take a long time to draw, though. orz

Decided to make a body and face reference for Jessica. :u I like drawing her legs, haha. Now I just need to make her hair more consistent;;; BOTH SHE AND DMITRI HAVE THIS CRAZY HAIR THAT I JUST RANDOMLY ASSEMBLE WHEN I DRAW THEM. ;u;/
Even though I've designed her, I never draw anything for Nerdy and Jock. "orz SORRY...

Some cuddly SteGabe. I've drawn Gabe's hand on Stefan's butt on other instances, so I deem this okay to post on theO. -u-b The butt grab here seems more sincere than those other instances, even. :^D (????????? i do not know, my friend.)
I like how most of this came out, but I don't like Gabe's arm. :T MUSCLES? ARMS?? I should practice... I keep saying should practice bodies and anatomy and stuff, but I never do;;;

So much Stefan and Gabe in this post.
Anyway, this was a response to something Tauria said on dA when I posted that top picture of Stefan and Gabe. I imagine Gabe likes when people compliment him and Stefan, but Stefan doesn't really know how to feel about people commenting on their relationship. :^V

This is one of many potential designs I've gone through for Brodney's girlfiend. orz I DON'T... EVEN KNOW ANYMORE, DO I EVEN NEED TO MAKE THIS CHARACTER. /;U; Iiiidk, Nerdy and Jock wasn't supposed to have a huge cast, but it's kind of turning out this way. I just feel like I should maybe have another girl character to help even out the cast, but meh. I like how this character looks, but I'm totally lost on personalities right now. BLUGH.

Finished the Roy line art! :D Now to color, hoo hoo.

...MMMYEP I guess that's everything, then. Hope you have a nice week, yo! :D

This week's draws. :V

Not a whole ton of stuff from last week, whoopsie. I WAS SO BUSY LAST WEEK, IDK WHAT HAPPENED;;; But uh, yeah.

Thought I'd doodle Stefan with a short hairstyle, for those top two drawings there. :^D I've just been into short hair these days. So many of my guy characters from around 2010 have hair that goes past their ears because I was never any good at drawing short hair... Maybe that's the reason I don't draw Rick and Tim anymore.
jk it's just 'cause i'm lame and can't think of any way to salvage them....;;; Apparently, it's been almost year since I've drawn Tim. :I IT ACTUALLY FEELS LONGER THAN THAT... I drew him last school year a fair amount more than I realized.
Uh... anyway, what was I talking about. Stefan with short hair? Stefan doesn't actually get his hair cut for good until some years later. I sometimes think that he'd be better with short hair because it suits his strict personality better, but I just... he's had long hair since high school, I imagine he's kind of sentimental about his long hair. HAHA, IDK STEFAN, YOU DO THAT...

How the heck do you draw heels.
Anyway, here's Noland trying on his mom's shoes when he's like in middle school, or something. I TRIED, drawing younger characters is always harder than I think it will be;;;
I guess this is the only canon time he wears feminine clothing, even though I draw him in skirts and stuff all the time. Idk what to really say about this without feeling like I'm getting weirdly dramatic, so uh... sorry. ;u;/ Maybe I'll draw this scene sometime to give better context...! I'd love to draw stuff about Noland's home life growing up, though I'm not sure if I could pull it off like I want to.

Not sure if any of you remember Jessica Marron, so here you go. She's one of the Nerdy and Jock kids.
Still not 100% sold on how I want to draw her... I'm getting this weird urge to draw her with EVEN BIGGER 80S HAIR and I'm not really sure if that's a sound idea;; I do like her, though, I kind of like where her personality is going. (YEAH I KNOW SHE KINDA JUST LOOKS LIKE ANY OTHER CHARACTER OF MINE RIGHT NOW BUT;;;) Jessica's reminding me WEIRDLY OF GABE, THOUGH... idk if you can see it, but I can because look at that pose. That's a pose I always draw Gabe in...............
I also seriously have no idea how high schoolers dress. Even in high school I didn't know what was considered the fashionable standard;;; HEY HIGH SCHOOL PEEPS. MAYBE HELP ME OUT A BIT, WHAT DO THE "COOL AND POPULAR" KIDS DRESS LIKE...
Also that person on the bottom there is no one, I just felt like drawing something.

Since I drew Peco, here's Smile from Ping Pong: The Animation. Speaking of PPTA, the English dub trailer recently came out. I think the voices are pretty good, but just a problem I've been having with dubs lately is that all the dubs are same-sounding. I WANT... MORE VARIETY... It's not that I even dislike dubs, I just wish I wouldn't hear the same kinds of voices in every anime dub.
BUT WHATEVZ, JUST FELT LIKE BEING MILDLY WHINY FOR A SEC, AHA.

GAH UNDERWEAR! I was initially worried that this pose was too ~*~sexy~*~, and I get concerned drawing Noland in ~*~sexy~*~ poses because he's a teacher. IT'S LIKE... PROBABLY DON'T ROMANTICIZE (?) YOUR TEACHER LIKE THIS, IT'S PROBABLY NOT OKAY.
But at the same time Noland's like the same age as Stefan and only a little older than Gabe... and I don't have that same problem with making Gabe ~*~sexy~*~, so I wonder if I really should be so concerned about Noland. I guess it just depends on whether he's supposed to be taken as a teacher or just another character of mine.
/IDK WHERE THIS WAS GOING

Made some more progress with that Roy pic. The legs are still bothering me a bit, but they're looking better. Not sure how I want to color this yet, hrmmrmrm.

WELL, that's the end of that. Sorry for blabbing so much, guess I was just in the mood to talk. xD;

More Stuff

These titles are getting worse. Bleh.
Here's some stuff I've drawn over the past couple weeks. :v Also, sorry for the weird bored tone in this post, idk what's up, haha;;

I drew this because I wanted to see how exactly I draw Noland when I'm not doodling. ...yeah, idk what else to say. -u-b

I drew this because I wanted to doodle Noland. ...still not much to say;;;

Character ref of O. J. I made for KASA'S ROLE PLAY, WHICH YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT!!! 8D Yeh.
Idk why O. J. is just like PEACE SIGN all the time. orz POSES ARE HARD!!!

Some thing of Gabe that looks off to me, and idk why...!! Idk, his eye is too low or something.
All the drawings in this post so far aren't even ones I feel like I should be posting, but am because I have nothing else to post. orz

Here's a character ref I made for Charlotte! She feels so short to me. WHICH... I GUESS IS OKAY, SHE'S SUPPOSED TO BE PRETTY SHORT.
Charlotte basically looks like this one girl I sat across from in art class in high school, except a little more daring (?) with her clothing. :V Though idk, I feel like Charlotte's clothes are pretty normal. Maybe I'm just used to drawing and looking at them.
blee blah.

Stef, my boy. Expressions are kind of hard to do on your long, pointy face...
I feel like I need to go and practice expressions some more, or just head angles in general. I STILL CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE LOOKING UP ANGLE, YET, I'VE BEEN LOOKING AT PICTURES AND TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT SINCE LIKE SENIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL...
But uh, yeah. I like drawing Stefan's expressions, though. He's always so annoyed, aha;;;

Oh, not really a new thing I drew or anything, but I went and printed this. It's a lot darker than how it looked on my computer, but I think the colors still look pretty good! :V
Now I finally have some SteGabe for my wall, hoo hah hah. -u-

Oh hey, I drew this this morning! I'm experimenting with using a smaller pen size and a sketchier line art, to see what the outcome is like. :V It's pretty fun to work with, and a lot less stressful than how I normally do line art with SAI's pen tool, but I'm still not sure what it's going to look like in the end. Hopefully it'll look good...!
But yeah, Roy. I was in the mood to draw him. The legs and his tunic are tripping me up, though;;; Hope it turns out okay.

...YAH, that's all I've got for you today. BE COOL, MY FOOL. B)
