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.

New Characters in "Foreigner"

I don't think anyone really reads these posts when I post them after 9:00, but whatever. xD (Why?)

Anyways, title's kind of weirdo if you don't know what Foreigner is... but it means I have new characters for "Foreigner" (the story with Kor and Eagle who I never draw).

The girl is Michelle, and the guy on the bottom's name is "Dailen", pronounced "day-len", for the time being. Yep. They work at Eagle's tattoo and piercing shop.
The text next to Michelle says "Michelle is an extremely thin, tall, and bony woman who works at Eagle's tattoo and piercing shop. Despite her bangs being eternally in her eyes, she's quite good at tattooing. She is most likely older than the clothes she wears [as in the style] and how old she says she is. ([she's] anywhere from 25 to 45.)" I wanted to make a reeeeeeeeeeeally thin character, for some reason. I guess she doesn't even look that thin... but she's thinner than how I draw most of my characters. I MEAN... HER HEAD IS WIDER THAN HER WAIST, SO... I also for some reason wanted to have a blonde girl with straight bangs covering her eyes. xD
The text next to Dailen is "extremely OCD. Insomniac. Asexual. He's pretty skinny, too. Think Drake Bell in physique." I had decided early on that I wanted to have some guy at the tattoo shop be OCD for no particular reason. xD; But I also decided to make him asexual because I don't have any characters who explicitly say they're asexual. Although, I do have 3 asexual characters: Ms. Marigold (who I recently think is really cool), Falorin, and Rick.
You: WHA-- BUT I THOUGHT RICK WAS GAY.
Okay, so. I decided this a while back and never told you guys, but Rick is actually homoromantic asexual. This has no effect on his personality at all, it just means he doesn't want to have sex with people. He actually calls himself gay, but by my word he's asexual.
But enough about Rick.
I want the characters at Eagle's tattoo shop to be kind of quirky, off-beat people, so that's what I'm trying to do with Michelle and Dailen. Trying to do. Yeah.

A doodle of Michelle on my poetry assignment. :M;;; I tried giving her a different outfit.

Dailen with a different expression. I'm still not too solid on what kind of personality he's supposed to have. I don't want him to turn into another "random idiot guy character"... which tends to be the personality I give my guy characters. "orz HAHA...

Anyways, this is getting long-ish. Thanks for reading! c:

Line Art: Michka and Zack

Hm... I think I vaguely remember these characters... Oh, it's ZACK AND MICHKA! It's been so long since I've seen them that I thought they died or something!

;u; Hello everyone. I had some time after my government test today that I decided to try sketching something random off the top of my head. I ended up liking it, and spent my study hall and lunch inking it. Took about 3 hours total.

BUT ANYWAYS,
DID YOU KNOW THAT IT'S BEEN A WHOLE YEAR SINCE I'VE INKED A PICTURE OF MICHKA AND/OR ZACK...? Or more than that, even. My most recent picture of them was inked in April, 2011. :D; Yeah. orz Feel free to blame Stefan and Gabe, because this is obviously their fault.

I actually QUITE LIKE THE COUPLE OF ZACK AND MICHKA... I'm sure this is obvious, but I like pairing opposites together. :D; Zack and Michka, Gabe and Stefan, Tomato and TB, Tim and Rick, Eagle and Kor... that's a pretty big chunk of the pairings of my characters. Well, except the My Dear Princess and Dreams characters.
Dare and Loyal aren't opposites exactly (I think they share a similar line of reasoning actually), but they're also not one of my favorite couples of mine... >3>

BUT ANYWAYS YET AGAIN, the line art. I'm pretty happy with how it came out. :D Especially Michka. Zack looks a little funky on some parts, but he's Zack and always gives me issues. >3>; The text in the back is messed up in some places too, but OH WELL.
By the way, Michka has a transparent guitar. 8D They totally exist! But they don't exactly look like how I drew it. >3>

Feel free to color this if you want, for some reason! :M I have a transparent PNG version on my dA that I could send upon your request. Just make sure you credit me for the line art.
I hope to color this soon, because I haven't colored anything traditionally in a while. Well, I've used markers... but I haven't used my colored pencils on a full pic in forever. ;u;

Yep. The end. Thanks as always for reading!

More Random Stuff. :V

Yay... .u.;;; I'll draw something for real eventually. xD;;

Here's the song that the lyrics are from. :V I ONLY LIKE DREAMING ALL THE DAY LONG... I remembered that this song existed last year.
This song partially reminds me of Stefan because he got a lot of pressure from his parents growing up to be proper and to study hard. That's pretty much why he's so straight-laced.

While we're on the topic of Stefan, he's a shirtless picture of him!

Aha.
...;;
I drew this for a friend who wanted some advice on drawing men with thin frames. IDK IF THIS IS REALLY HELPFUL AT ALL, BUT... I figured I'd show you guys anyways. xD

And here's a random picture of Vevila I drew yesterday.

She's talking about the song Man eater by Hall and Oates. BECAUSE SHE'S A MAN EATER... HAHA... Hilarious, Akioh. -u- (idk)
I'm really terrible about keeping up with the MCC... """"orz GUYS, I CAN'T RP WELL...

...and that's all I have for you today. 8D; Thanks for viewing!

Character Development Meme: Stefan

These things are probably the most boring things to you guys... but they're really fun for me. xD

(Click for larger)

I think Stefan's personality is still pretty similar to how he was when I first created him. The biggest difference is just the way I draw his clothes. (Yeah, I have no idea what's up with that outfit on the left.... >3>;) It's kind of weird to think that I learned how to draw suits just this summer. I think I've got the hang of drawing them these days.

As I mentioned in this thingie here, Stefan's personality kind of changed because I learned how to draw suits... xD;;

Another thing that's changed about him is his views on romance. In a meme/quiz I did with Stefan some time ago, one of his answers was "I wish I was a model... and I wish I had a lover. ;A;" I doubt he would say that last part out loud, these days. xD; Stefan's turned into the kind of person who prides himself in deliberately pushing romance out of his lifestyle, and often goes as far as to say there's no such thing as love. I've known people like this, who say they don't believe in love and that what people think is love is actually infatuation/superficial attraction. It's a pretty pragmatic approach to romance, so I'd say it's a fitting view for Stefan. :m

I'd say more stuff, but I have to go to school. orz Thanks for viewing! c:

Comic Sketches + Misc

Since I put comic sketches in the title first, I guess I'll post the comic sketches first. :m I'm working on a comic-thing for Christmas (since I never upload Christmas-themed pictures) of Dare, Rick, and Tim. These are just the 1st two pages. Yeahhhh. It takes place in 11th grade, so it's pre-Something Impossible.
Akioh, I have no idea what you're talking about because I forgot everything in relation to A Life Like This and your Rock Band comic because you haven't updated either in several months
Me too, mysterious reader. Me too.
:I;;
Maybe I should update those some time.............

Aw, yeah. Master of dialogue here. ... COMICS WITH FLOWING DIALOGUE ARE TOO HARD. ;w; Maybe that's why I like 4-panel strips so much.
Whoa, Akioh, who the heck is that guy with the hat-- OH, IT'S RICK! I really wanted to draw Rick in a new hat... xD
And yep. Sorry for the handwriting, as usual.
Oh, and here's the song Dare was singing in the beginning. Not relevant at all. xD

Anyways, on with the other non-comic stuff! :m While we're on the topic of Tim, here's a picture of him and his mom.

Yes, Cassidy looks freakish. :M Who cares about bodies making sense! Answer: everyone.
The weird thing about these drawings is that I drew the picture of Tim and the picture of Cassidy on two separate papers at two different times. So it was kind of weird that they kind of matched when I put them together like this... Even the quotes seem kind of consecutive. xD;
But yeah. Akioh draws weird stuff sometimes.

I hardly draw Loyal, but I felt like drawing her the other day. :o No, that's not a beard... it's some weird shading... ;u; I remember reading a chapter of Yu Yu Hakusho once where a guy's chin was shaded like that, and I thought it was a beard. xD; I was wondering why it vanished in the next panel...
What I like about Loyal is that I don't feel compelled to draw her in a girly pose like certain individuals. :V

The rest of the stuff is OFAV related. I was talking to Takara the other day about how Gabe's pretty different from how he used to be. I think his appearance changes are on behalf of my drawing style changing. I can't seem to decide if I want him to have light brown or dark brown hair, though... I want it to be light brown, but it always comes out dark in marker. ;A;

This is the first thing I've colored in marker since... Hm. Apparently, I still think it's summertime.
Gabe's hair color is incorrect. BAH.

I think this is the first time I've uploaded a picture that actually shows Stefan crushing on Tomato. xD
Stefan, I think you have to be crushing on someone 12 and under to be considered a pedophile. I think you're in the clear. Although, when Tomato was 17 and Stefan was 26, those could be plausible ages for a teacher crushing on a student. Which is what the song Don't Stand So Close To Me is about. YEAH, CONNECTIONS!

Last one! :m Quote on the side is from Wounded by Third Eye Blind. Inconspicuous quote on the bottom is irrelevant.
I like drawing Stefan, yo. :U

It's weird that it's almost 2013! ;A; I feel like I haven't done much on my "things to improve on" list. I guess you could say I've been working on action poses...

Hm.
Well anyways, that's all for now. 8D YEAH...
