Various Planning

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.

Created By moonlit dream

Extended Profile: Dean Johnson

Because I know how much you gus love these things. :,D
Not.
**Characters in OFAV may have some information missing from the top questionnaire-looking thing. Yeah.**

Dislikes: Mick
Love Interest: Leah
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Hair Color: Black
Hair Length: Close to shoulders
Eye Color: Turquoise
Relationship with Friends: He's teased often by the OFAV cast; TB listens to what's on his mind; Leah is kind to him
Key Friends: TB, Leah
Key Enemies: Mick
Educational History: Graduated from high school
Phobias / Fears: Public speaking, talking to people (almost a anthropophobe)
Bad Habits / Vices: Extremely quiet and awkward
Best Qualities: Follows instructions
Worst Qualities: Lacks self confidence
Emotional Problems: Low self-esteem
Personal Goals: Become closer to Leah
Style of Speech: Very awkward at first with lots of stuttering, but he talks with moderate intellect when he's more comfortable
Personality: Submissive, shy, awkward, constanly nervous and worried, obedient

Oh, Dean... He's actually one of my favorites in OFAV, because he's not as superficial as a lot of the rest of the cast. He's also really fun to draw. :D But I have my friend to thank for that. She gave him a physical design, and I came up with the name and personality.

Anyways, Dean Johnson is the "hair assistant/make-up assistant/wardrobe supervisor" from Tomato's hair-and-make-up team. Basically, this means he does all the grunt work, and everyone just orders him around. (To tell you the truth, I totally made up that title. xD;) He's very obedient and does everything he's told with little to no question. This makes him a very good worker, but he gets little respect from the rest of the team because of his awkward disposition. He doesn't stand up for himself, so he's teased frequently (usually by Gabe or Jo, but the others will also tease him from time to time). When he's not being teased, he's usually ignored. A running theme in OFAV is that no one seems to notice him or pay attention to what he says.

Dean is possibly the most intellegent and creative (in the sense of photographic and clothing design) character of the bunch, but his extreme shyness (which nears on anthropophobia) restricts his intellengence from being known. The only characters who know of Dean's talents are TB, who he later befriends, and Leah, his crush.

Dean's crush, Leah, has a boyfriend, Mick. Dean has made it an inner goal to win Leah over, and sees Mick as his rival. Because Dean has little confidence in himself, he regards sweeping Leah off her feet as a far away fantasy. He shows dislike towards Mick, which is unusual because Dean rarely outwardly dislikes anyone.

Despite his worry-prone and nervous exterior, Dean has a relatively optomistic outlook on life, and rarely dwells on other peoples' wrongdoings. He usually looks on the brightside, especially in extremely unfortunate situations that usually regard himself. (He has an "It could have been worse" type of attitude.)

Even though he's the most ignored character, he's the only character in the main cast to have a last name.

Comic Strip WIPs: OFAV

Yeah.... I finished sketching the next two OFAV strips, but I have yet to ink them.
[click]
The bottoms got cut off in the scan. D: Oh well. There was nothing important there anyways. It's probably really difficult to read, especially the stuff TB's saying in the 2nd strip. If you need me to translate (transcribe? idk.), tell me. xD;

OKAY! SCHOOL STARTS IN TWO DAYS! Nooo...

ALSO, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARE! He's the only character of mine whose birthday I sort of remember to mention. Rick's birthday was a week or so ago, but I forgot. 8D I don't remember the birthdays of any of my other characters.

A whole ton of random stuff

Okay. I scanned like, 12 pages from my sketchbook. BECAUSE IMOUTO CHAN WANTED TO SEE SOME RANDOM DOODLES. And I had some lying around.
Idk how many images are allowed in a world post, but I'll put as many as I can and the rest will be links. xD;

External Image

I haven't posted these yet, have I? :/
Anyways, these are the pages I used for planning Kor's design. It took 3 pages. "orz Just because I'm really indecisive about things. xD; As you can see, he originally had this really ugly green vest-shirt thing. It was weird, so I changed it to a jacket. :d
....you know you want a shower lamp.

External Image
I posted the top picture of Damian earlier. :U
BUT REALLY, WHAT IF DARE AND RICK HAD EACHOTHERS' PERSONALITY? To me, characters who look like Dare usually have Rick's personality and characters who look like Rick usually have Dare's personality. But that's probably not true. xD

External Image
I drew this at the hair salon while waiting for Takara. :U Stefan is fun. but his face looks weird here. :I
Oh. Takara drew that scary thing on the bottom. Apparently, it's my VERY OWN DBZ OC! (idk. xDDD)

External Image
Tim's mom, Cassidy Ackart. This has spoilers for A Life Like This, I guess. o3o

External Image
I uploaded the colored thing to my portfolio. :0 It was on this doodle page in my sketchbook. xD
LOOK CLOSELY...
That's Segran's catch phrase. I think I've said this before... :I

External Image
More Stefan. This time in normal clothes, beacuse I was bored. xD; HIS LEGS ARE SO LONG THOUGH...
And yeah. Stefan is secretly a tennis pro.

External Image
Sketch of Luli. :D It's not done yet, though.

External Image
Dare and his female self, Truth. xD In RB:SI, she's a rabid Dare fangirl. :U (who knew he had those. xD)
Truth looks very similar to Dare, so here's some sure fire ways to tell them apart:
Truth's a girl, so she has a chest. Duh. xD She also wears a skirt instead of jeans.
If only her head is seen, Truth wears a stud nose piercing, while Dare wears an actual nose ring. Truth also wears hoop earrings, while Dare wears studs and sometimes safety pins (?!?!). Oh yeah, and I draw Truth with eyelashes and slightly longer har. :D SO THERE.

Sketch of Rinchu and Segran. The mysterious figure on the bottom is going to be Segran. xD
Idk how to draw butts. o3o

http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e153/takarafox/akiohs%20album%20of%20junk/img097.jpg
LAST ONE! This is my most recent sketch. I was bored, so I drew Shinitsu. :d What I was talking about on the top of the page is how the Japanese katakana character "shi" and "tsu" look like smiling faces, which is weird because Shinitsu is always smiling.

OKAY THAT'S ALL.
I NEED TO CLEAR THE DISHWASHER.
Sorry for all the random. xD;

BOMBARDMENT OF DOODLES!

I got a new sketchbook a couple of months ago, and doodled a lot in it. So here is everything in my sketchbook except a few concept stuff of a new character (it's for Wakusei's challenge, so I don't want to spoil the surprise) and some other stuff I didn't feel like scanning.
So it's not really everything in my sketchbook, after all... xD; Anyways, here. Random stuff... and one picture on graph paper.

The first things I drew in my new sketchbook. :d Near the bottom, I wanted to practice drawing Tim. C: The picture on the right looks better... But I can never draw him well with two eyes. o_x; And then I started randomly writing "blah" in different ways...

Concept drawings of Nana and Popo (the ice climbers) for TAOMAR. :d These two are fun to draw. xD

Some of my way old characters. xD; Except that mini Charles Darnay under Hichiro. Oh, and that lady singing into a pencil in the top right. (It's a gorgeous picture of my little sis.)
I don't really like any of these characters. They're boring. xD;;;

I usually draw Dare when I'm bored. xD;;; H-HE'S JUST FUN TO DRAW... ;3;

Outfit and pose idea for a picture I want to draw of Michka. This is how most of my pictures start out. :>

Some OFAV doodles. :D Leah is the girl Dean likes. Mick is Leah's boyfriend.
And that's me on the top. I had hiccups, my hair was frizzy because I didn't flat iron it, and because I was about to go to sleep, wasn't wearing glasses. xD;;

A headshot of Damian. :d My aunt was curious as to how I colored, so I drew this quickly. This is the first time I've sketched, inked, and colored something in one sitting since... a long time. xD

Okay.
This is a really odd picture.
Ew.
So I wanted to draw a picture of Stefan and Gabe... but I forgot Gabe was such a pervert. Bah.
Gabes hand was originally on Stefan's neck. And then it was around his shoulder. And then it was on his butt, and stayed there.
.....
Don't expect pictures like this from me. xD

AND THAT'S ALL! :D yeah.

Concept Sketches: Kasey and Dean

External Image
Some more character planning/refrences/sketches/something or other. :D
This is the last of Tomato's hair-and-makeup crew. There are other people who do his hair and stuff when he's modeling, but they don't usually stay constant. o3o
Anyways, this is Kasey (left) and Dean (right). More mini profiles:

Name: Kasey
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Height: 5'6
Special Talent: Make-up
Hobbies: Reading magazines, make-up, hanging out with Jo
Likes: Pop-culture magazines
Dislikes: Haughty people
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Love Intrest: any "hot" guy.
Personality: Gossip-y, bubbly

She's Jo's girlfriend and does Tomato's make-up. She's into pop-culture and is up-to-date on the latest gossip. She loves to gossip. xD; It says in her profile that she dislikes haughty people, and you may be thinking "Isn't Tomato haughty?"
Well... Tomato is nice and up-beat, so she likes him. :D

Name: Dean Johnson
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Height: 5'8
Special Talent: Hair styling, make-up, following orders
Hobbies: Doing whatever Gabe, Jo, Kasey, Tomato, or Stefan tell him to do. (Not really a hobby, but...)
Likes: Leah
Dislikes: Mick
Sexual Orientation: heterosexual
Love Intrest: Leah
Personality: Submissive

This is actually my friend's character! :D Kinda. She drew him in a picture (along with a girl and another guy), and I named him Dean and gave him a personality. She said I could use him. :)
Anyways, Dean is the hairstyling assistant/make-up assistant/wardrobe supervisor for Tomato. Baisically, he gets all the grunt work. xD; He's also the youngest... he's FRESH OUTTA COLLEGE. :D
He's a super pushover, and HAS NO BACKBONE. (not literally.)
People boss him around a lot.
He has a crush on a girl named Leah, but Leah has a boyfriend.
