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.

Enjoy Your Stay at Various Planning!

This has both Sketches and Doodles

I felt the need to post some sketches.
SO HERE!

External Image
I drew this in May, I think...? Back when I was reading The Great Gatsby, which was making me think about flappers. xD So I drew a flapper. I wore a similar outfit to this one to school for a project. :M

External Image
I drew this one during school, too. Basically it's a redo of this, but his head came out too big.
I used to think that boys with Dean's character personality rarely exist, but this guy who sat in front of me in math class reminded me of Dean in awkwardness. So maybe Dean isn't such an unlikely guy to meet. xD /random

External Image
Random doodly-sketch-plan-things. xD; The top is a picture idea I have for Stef and Tomato. The bottom is a possible redux of Alcott's outfit. I've always wanted to give him a short jacket, and I think this looks pretty alright. :m Although, I'm always bothered by how boring his pants are...

External Image
A sketch of Luli and Alcott that I drew a couple days ago. At first I wasn't really sure of what to draw, and it turned into Alcott and Luli. xD Even though it's their profiles, I quite like this picture... ;3; I wish I drew the Dreams characters more often. The Dreams story is probably my favorite of my fantasy stories... but I just don't have it planned enough to do anything with it, and I'm not the best at drawing fantastical things. xD;

External Image
Doodles and a random comic with Stefan and Gabe. YOU KNOW... IT'S JUST EASIEST TO MAKE COMICS WITH THEM, OKAY...? ._. By the way, that lady next to Stef is Gabe's mom. Also, that giant block of text next to Dare is just me talking about how I should practice drawing suits. (I wrote that before this.)
Um. COLORED ZACK, WOAH!

External Image
Read downnnnn.
Like I said, it's easiest to make comics with Stefan and Gabe. -u- But somehow, these comics became a "Let's learn some random things about Gabe!" moment. xD;
I don't know how to put the accents on the letters, so the French is accent-less. Sorry, French people.

AND THAT IS ALL. Now you know what I've been doing.
And that is absolutely nothing.

WIP: OFAV Summertime

HEY GUYS. I'm trying to do a picture completely on SAI, 'cause I don't think I've done that since that one TB picture. You know. That one where he's by the river. Yeah. xD; ...Oh, no wait. I did that one Franz one. ...Whatever. :M
I've been wanting to do an OFAV group pic again, and also a summer picture... so I combined them. 8D Here's the sketch:

External Image

ACK, SHIRTLESS MEN. Akioh doesn't know what she's doing and she should look at references but she refuses to because she's just being silly.
...Yeah. I hope to clean it up in the inking process. WHICH IS GOING TO BE TERRIBLE, BY THE WAY. ;A; 7 PEOPLE AGH... The inking may not be very detailed either. xD; This is going to be a pain to finish... but I've been fairly productive lately so I might be able to get it done before summer ends! :D;;;;

And yeah.. that's what I'm working on. I'm also working on a picture of Damian for this challenge. I just need to color the background. BACKGROUND! I know. It's unfathomable coming from me. Actually, I've uploaded a couple pictures with kind of simplish backgrounds recently... So I think I'm actually accomplishing my new year's resolutions from January a little. xD;

Enough of me babbling. Thanks for viewing, as always. ;D

Comic Strip WIPs: OFAV 7 and 8

To recap, OFAV 5 and 6 are here: [click]
I've uploaded 5, but I'm still coloring 6. xD;

Anyway, here's the sketches of the next two OFAV strips. THEY'RE TOTALLY HILARIOUS! Okay, they're really not. The main point of them is just to reveal character traits, because basically only aspects of Tomato's and Stefan's personalities have been revealed in the comic.
That, and I can't think of any punchline-things.
External Image

GAH, MORE STEFAN AND GABE.
...everyone says. Sorry. There's just one more consecutive strip of Stefan and Gabe dialogue, then a couple of strips with Kasey and Jo dialogue, then a strip about Dean, and then we enter OUR FIRST ARC...
Or something like that. SEE, I DO HAVE A PLAN OF SORTS OF HOW I'M DOING THIS COMIC.

Okay I have to set the table now. FARE THEE WELL....................................

Spring break doodles

WHILE I DID NOTHING PRODUCTIVE THIS SPRING BREAK (with the exception of the Stefan picture), I did do a lot of doodling. I also did some short story comics on lined paper, but I'll upload those on a different post.

Also, sorry but I won't be able to finish the sketches until another week. orz I have SAI on a different computer, and I won't have access to that computer until next week. """orz Sorry 'bout that... ;A; BUT I WILL DO THEM!

So yeah.
Here's a lot of doodles I did in my newly-created "doodle notebook". :D I'm not typing any of the text because I don't feel like it. Sorry you have to read my freakish handwriting.

External Image
Some random scene or somthing. You read down, left to right. I drew a lot of Stefan this break. 8D More than I'm posting here. I drew a comic thing on lined paper. I'll post it later.

External Image
For some reason I wanted to design Gabe's parents. They totally will not appear in OFAV ever. Probably. xD;

External Image
Little comic of Tim. :U This is read left to right, not up and down.

External Image
An outfit for Michka. I love when fancy clothes have pockets, by the way. 8D I like putting my hands in my pockets.

External Image
I've been playing The World ends With You lately. I'm trying to get all the items and be friends with all the shop clerks... :D;
Anyways, I thought I'd try to draw Stefan and Gabe in TWEWY style. xD; Kinda fun! But also kind of weird.

These next few aren't from spring break, but I'll post them anyways.
External Image
External Image
These were for a RB:SI-OFAV crossover thing. xD; When Something Impossible goes to Paris (which will be never at this rate), Rick somehow ends up meeting Tomato. And yeah.
I drew the first one while waiting to eat at The Cheesecake Factory. I started drawing this guy's shoe, but I think he noticed I was looking at him. I started making it up at the end so I wouldn't have to keep looking at him. :D;

External Image
Last one! Just a random thing about Rick and his eating habits. (???) As it says, read down.
Idk if that's going to be Mr. Stairwell's final design. Probably not.
Also, I can't spell cruller.

Okay, that's all! Thanks for viewing. :)
...Do I draw my characters too much?...
Nahhhhhhhhh.

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.
