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.

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.

Hm.
The girl with the eye-patch for no apparent reason.
I don't know where to start with her. xD;;

Michka is the guitarist for the band Something Impossible. She loves to shop for fancy and gaudy things, but mixes them up in a way to give them her own style.
Sometimes she dresses in sweet-looking clothing, but then she's all like, "BNENENNELENELENELLENENNERRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!" on her guitar at concerts (yes, that was my version of a guitar sound effect), and she's all like, "YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH ROCK ON LOSERS" (what a terrible statement...) and stuff. Sometimes...? xD The point is, she is not dainty. Except on some occasions.
Um....
She's supposed to be the sexy one of the band, but... I'm not very good at drawing pictures in the catagory of... sexy. So just pretend, okay? xD;
I'm not sure why Michka wears an eyepatch. She thinks it's cool. She thinks it makes her "HARD CORE HRGH." She thinks it's stylish. I don't now. xD;

In highschool, Michka and Zack were dating. Michka was a sophmore and Zack was a senior. Zack was also a jock; he played football. xDDDD; YES. WEIRD, I KNOW. He also had normal hair in high school.
BUT ANYWAYS, THIS ISN'T ABOUT ZACK.
Michka and Zack were in a band with Laetitia (Michka's twin sister), Lucia (highschool friend), Ace (highschool friend), Pustillio (highschool friend) (I don't know if that's his real name. xD), and an old man called Mitsubishi as their manager. The band was called the Fire breathin grandpaZ (haha. xD).
Michka broke up with Zack when he left the band. Zack left the band because he got a college scholarship for football. He was also planning on leaving Michka because of the scholarship.
Michka also dropped out of the band because she didn't feel like being in the band without Zack. (She wasn't really close with any of the other band members, including her sister.)
Later, Zack realized he didn't want to be without Michka, and didn't take the scholarship. Instead, he made up with Michka (sort of, she still holds a grudge against him, which is why they're not dating or anything), and they started their own band called Something Impossible.
Zack graduated the next year, and Michka was a junior. In one of her classes, Michka met Loyal and let her join the band. They didn't have a bass player until Dare came along, about 3 or 4 years after Michka graduated. (!!) Even before Dare came along, they were writing songs and performing in the highschool's Battle of the Bands event. (Zack played bass at the highschool stuff, but he wasn't very good. xD;)

On a side note, the Fire breathin grandpaZ were playing at a restaurant somewhere a few years after Michka and Zack left the band, when a record company scout (also known as an Artist and Repertoire manager) found the band and were signed to a record label. :0
Later in the comic, Something Impossible briefly tours with the Fire breathin grandpaZ. :D Michka and Zack were replaced by a guy named Danny, by the way.

Michka is NOT NOT NOT on good terms with her twin sister, Laetitia. They have an extreme rivalry. It's totally cliche, but Laetitia was born a little bit earlier than Michka, and is better at everything than Michka. Michka's really annoyed about that, because Laetitia gets more attention than Michka. Even when the two of them were younger, their parents gave Laetitia all the attention.

Michka is extremely hard headed and plays by her own rules. :d She doesn't listen to people, haha. xD; She's also a pretty independend woman, and can stand up for herself. She's also a very skilled electric and acoustic guitarist. :d

Michka's name comes from the Russian word for mouse (mysh). Which is ironic, because Michka is definitely not a mouse. xD;
On a side note, I pronounce Michka's name as "Meesh-kuh", but I think the proper pronunciation is "Mish-kuh" wih a short "i" sound. The "ch" in her name is pronounced as "sh". :D

Uh.... I could probably say more about her, but I'll stop here for now. :I

Comic Strip WIPs: RB:SI, OFAV

Haha... Another weird title. xD RB:SI means Rock Band: Something Impossible, OFAV means Of Fruits and Vegetables. I have some comic WIPs! :D So here's some links:

Something Impossible at the water park part 1

Tomato's manager, Stefan

Yay.
That's right, Dare said "double-floatie-thing". Seriously, what are those called?
Sorry if it's hard to read. xD;;; AND IF IT'S NOT FUNNY. ;A; I know the Stefan one isn't funny. By the way, the Stefan comic is the next one I'm going to upload to the Of Fruits and Vegetables comic!!! SO BE READY FOR AN UPDATE SOON!!! :DDD
Okay.

Laterz.
(SETH, FROM NED'S DECALSSIFIED♥)

Edit: Made the OFAV comic bigger. :D

Process: RB:SI, Ch. 1, pg. 1

Because I was bored, I decided to make a step-by-step process of how I do comic pages. 8D This is the first page of the first chapter of my comic Rock Band: Something Impossible So... Here we go! xD;

External Image
This is the preliminary sketch. It's used as a guide for panel placement and speech bubble placement. It's also use it so I know how to place the people in the panels. :D

External Image
After the pre-sketch, I sketch the page on a 8 1/2" by 11" paper, using the pre-sketch as a guide. I change the poses and stuff as I see fit. I haven't added the dialouge in yet, either.
I write down the dialouge in a book so I can change and edit the dialouge as much as I need to. :D

External Image
Next is the line art, where I ink over top of the previous sketch. The line art always looks worse than the sketch. ;A;
Oh, and I also write the dialouge onto the page.

External Image
Finally, I shade. THIS IS THE MOST BORING PART. DX I hate doing it because it takes so long and it looks weird... and... ;A; Yeah.
Then I scan the shaded page, add in the text, and it's READY FOR UPLOADING! :D

Fun times.
I won't be submitting this page to my comic until I make the chapter splash page. D:

Page Draft: RB:SI, Ch. 1, pg. 1

What up with the title, yo? (??)
It means Page Draft: Rock Band: Something Impossible, Chapter 1, page 1.
So this post will have a draft of the next page in my Rock Band comic! :D

I actually have this page sketched out already, but my style has changed so much that I don't want to use it anymore. ;3; So I'm re-doing all the chapter 1 pages I have. (Three, I think.)

Anyways, here's the draft.

You: ???!??!?!?!?? WHAT IS THIS MESS.

Like I said, this is the draft. xD; I mostly use it for paneling and camera views (which I'm not very good at. xD;) I don't draw on top of this one, I re-sketch it. o3o

The people on this page are Rick and Dare, and Michka in the last panel.
Basically, here's what's going on...

Rick: DARE, YOU'RE SO COOL THE BAND PEOPLE THINK YOU'RE COOL. :D
Dare: SHUT YOUR FACE, RICK. WHY'D YOU TALK ME INTO TRYING OUT FOR THEIR BAND.
I'M TO BUSY WITH SCHOOL TO BE IN A BAND. AND THEY'RE WEIRD, LIKE, ONE OF THEM HAS AN EYEPATCH. D:<
Rick: AN EYEPATCH?1?!??!?!?
Dare: YEAH.
Rick: AND ROLLERSKATES???!
Dare: WHATCHOO TALKIN' 'BOUT, FOO? D:
Rick: ROLLERSKATES!!1!11
Michka: *Is coming towars them on roller skates*
Dare: HOLY-- D:

Yeah. xD;;;
I'LL DRAW AND INK AND SHADE THE REAL THING SOON! :D
