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!

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

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

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...

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;

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!

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.

Fare Thee Well, Old sketchbook... (Doodles n' stuff)

After finishing the picture of Damian that I recently uploaded, I completely filled up my sketchbook...
But it's okay, 'cause I'm also drawing in two other sketchbooks at the moment. |D;

Since I just finished a sketchbook, I went through and found some stuff that I hadn't posted in this world. YAY... I guess. There were only 4 things that I thought I'd post. Pretty much everything else in the sketchbook was doodles and things I had posted...
Mostly doodles. -u-

I drew this today. Happy 4th of July to America, by the way! :)
Uh... I just wanted to draw Gabe in a suit to see what he'd look like. xD; I like coloring with markers on little pictures like this. *^* It's quick, and it comes out pretty vibrant. But coloring anything large is a pain... "orz

I don't think I posted this yet...? Or maybe I did. Tell me if I did. .____.
This was the planning sketch for the casual and street style challenge. :9 I always thought this drawing of Stefan looked better than the actual picture, even though this is less detailed... :T Idk. Sometimes I just like sketches better than inked pictures.

Some dialogue between Jo and Danny. I actually QUITE ENJOY WRITING DIALOGUE BETWEEN CHARACTERS... but I don't like drawing panels. xD If I could make comics of floating entities, then I would. :9 BUT ALAS...
Idk where this dialogue was really going, but whatever. :m;;;

Last one! Tim and his mom. This was something I considered for the Inspiration Musica challenge, where you had to draw a picture inspired by a song. The song was Trouble by Coldplay. But I wasn't really into the picture, so I just quit. xD;

And that's all I guess. :D I think I'm going to update OFAV and my "ask my characters stuff" thing soon. So yeah. Look for that.
BA-CHOW.

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:

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.

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....................................

A Line Art, Doodles, and Teaser Page

Hey, I drew some stuff! :D Yeah... xD;

I felt like drawing Dare yesterday, so I did. SURPRISINGLY, I like how this came out! ;0; Usually I mess up Dare's face when I draw him facing the right, but he actually came out looking like Dare this time around. xD Also, I've found that I'M ACTUALLY STARTING TO ENJOY INKING... OH MAN. What is going on. o____o I guess that's a good thing, because it means I might finish more pictures than I used to. xD
Oh yeah, I drew him in the outfit I drew him in here, just like I said I would. >:D

Hey, it's Gabe. Takara showed me this song recently, and now it's been in my head. xD; I drew Gabe because the song's called Graduate and Gabe did really bad in school... The song's not really about literal graduation, I think. But whatever. Gabe's not in school anymore anyways. :D
(?)
This took like 30-ish minutes to draw during study hall... idk if that's fast or slow or what, But I obviously get scribbly when I'm trying to draw fast. >3>
Also, I doodled a semi-realistic Gabe because I was trying to figure out what his hair would look like in real life. :d Because obviously I don't know what I'm doing when I'm drawing his hair in cartoon style...

This scan came out really bad for some reason. .____.

Lastly, here's a TAOMAR teaser page. This is a scene from chapter 4, which hasn't happened yet. xD; The basic plot of that chapter is Sheik is helping Roy with his grades so Roy doesn't move to a lower level class.

Yeah! I always end these posts abruptly... xD; I think I've said this before.
Anyways, thanks for viewing. :D
