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!
Here's some stuff from the past couple week or two! :M
Prue and Nolandddd. :V They're fun to draw together. I'll make a big long post about their relationship, eventually.
I imagine Noland has like 7 pillows on his bed and uses all of them when he goes to sleep.
Some drawing of me. I was explaining to someone how I kind of choose clothes based on my characters... >3>;;;
THE SADDEST NOLAND DOODLE IN EXISTENCE!! I wasn't feeling sad at all when I drew this; I just wanted to draw a really sad crying face. xD; Noland's supposed to be around 22 here, but idk if he actually looks any younger than how I normally draw him;;;
I was listening to this when I drew this. I listen to a lot of Daughter when I draw Noland. :V;;; THIS IS STILL YOUR FAULT, KASA...
I feel like I had a reason for drawing the doodle on the top where Gabe's being a clingy idiot, but I can't remember what it was. RANDOM COMIC, WOO HOO!
Felt like drawing Noland in some outfit he'd never actually wear. RED PANTS!
Some cranky Stefan. Boo yah.
Nerdy and Jock sketches. ONE THING I REALLY LIKE ABOUT THIS GROUP is that they're all high school school kids (which is something I haven't focused on since A Life Like This), but there's no real "high school drama". Idk, I was never really into high school drama fiction like Degrassi or Glee or other things... but I do kind of like Disney Channel high school shows, like Good Luck Charlie and ANT Farm, because they're just really fun! xD So idk I guess this is like my Disney Channel boys love with swearing.
And since it's summer, have a bathing suit pic! 8D These are some friends' and my Fire Emblem OCs. My OC Wybert is the one in the hilarious old fashioned one piece...........;;;
I feel like I've been doing a random "here's some stuff I drew" dump like, every week... >3>; H-HOPE YOU GUYS ACTUALLY LIKE THESE POSTS, BECAUSE I'M GONNA KEEP DOING THEM.
ANYWAY, I'm almost done with the next OFAV strip... I said I'd update every two weeks, but I'm HORRIBLE. So I'll probably finish it tonight and upload it tomorrow morning. 8D IDK, MAYBE I'LL TRY TO UPDATE THIS SATURDAY, TOO, TO MAKE UP FOR IT!!
Anyways, here's some things I drew recently.
After playing Mario Kart 8, my passion for the Koopalings has been REKINDLED. I used to really like them in elementary school, back when Iggy still had rainbow hair like Lemmy. :V They always seemed so hardcore to me because of their spiked bracelets, so PUNK-ISH GIJINKAS, I GUESS...
I also thought Roy (bottom right) had a pink bowl cut, for a while... I GUESS HE'S ACTUALLY JUST BALD...?
Anyway, these were really fun to design, and I might make some more drawings with them. :D
Some sketches of Noland and Prue. WEIRD-ISH CONVERSATION POINT COMING UP...?: I don't usually like drawing girls because I always draw chests badly. BUT. I actually enjoy drawing Prue because her ~pointy bosoms~ are actually pretty easy to draw................................ She's just all around angular, actually. Maybe that's why I like drawing her. I usually draw guys pretty angular because of the muscles....
/end weird topic
I REALLY SHOULD DRAW CHRYSTAL MORE, because she's technically more important to Teach Me Something Good than Prudence. Not that Prudence isn't important.... Idk, she's more important overall in Noland's life than Chrystal is, but Teach Me Something Good focuses on his first year as a high school teacher. Or something. WHAT. EVER.
Maybe I'll talk about Noland and Prue in detail, sometime. Idk, I think they're interesting. MAYBE, YOU, WILL, THINK SO, TOOOOOOO?????
Puffmaster Noland.
This is actually from a couple weeks ago, but HERE YOU GO.
Soft shading practice! 8U If anyone has some tips on how to soft shade on SAI, THROW THEM MY WAY BECAUSE I'M STILL HALF-WINGING IT. AND ABUSING OVERLAYS.....
This has been happening a lot to me, but I keep seeing DARE IN GABE'S EXPRESSIONS AND IT'S FREAKING ME OUT. I like Gabe and I like Dare, but I don't like thinking "oh he looks like Dare" when I draw Gabe.
/idk.
/IDK!
~*~sweatshirt with the sleeves ripped off is really pointless!~*~
I was trying to draw an outfit for him, okay. Idk what kind of clothes Gabe even shops for...;;; WHY CAN'T YOU BE SIMPLE AND JUST WEAR SUITS LIKE STEFAN?
I think I've been doodling Gabe a lot because I'm paranoid that I won't like drawing him anymore if I don't draw him a lot.
BUT AKIOH, YOU LOVE DRAWING PUNK IDIOTS!
You're right, you're right. I shouldn't worry. :U;;
I have a doodle like this in my sketchbook, but it didn't look very attractive, so I drew it again on SAI.
In my mind, Stefan tries to act like a gentleman when he's dating Gabe by doing things like opening doors and offering to pay for meals for Gabe, and Gabe can't decide if he should be flattered or annoyed by it.
And my mind is canon because Stefan and Gabe are my mind, so THIS IS CANON.
YEAH.
...okay that's all. HAVE A NICE WEEK, AWESOME POSSUMS.
This world is just a big doodle dump. ;u;
I think I'm going to spare you guys the random FE OC comics and stuff I've drawn. UNLESS YOU WANT TO SEE THOSE...! Idk, they're not that intersting. Anyway, here's some drawings of Noland:
Me trying to figure out how to draw Noland at different ages. orz Here's what I've got so far.
Younger Noland:
- wears plastic-rimmed glasses (maybe. I don't really do this, all the time.)
- Has a smaller nose (N-NOT THAT YOU CAN TELL, BUT...)
- Doesn't wear his shirt tucked in, and doesn't wear a tie. (Noland always dresses kind of square-ish in his life, but he doesn't start dressing more formally until he meets Stefan.)
- Is skinnier
- Has somewhat bigger eyes (ONCE AGAIN, IT'S NOT NOTICEABLE, BUT...)
GAH, AGES! I'll work on it.
I also like drawing Noland in this huge puffy sweater he wears in the wintertime. *u* I have doodles of him all in my notebooks from the past two semesters wearing that sweater. Maybe I'll upload some of them, if I can find my notebooks.... >3>
DRAMATIC NOLAND DRAWING. His face came out kind of eh, but I thought the rest looked cool-ish. He came out too blonde, though. LIGHT BROWN HAIR IS HARD...
Some Tiger & Bunny sketches. I like drawing Barnaby, but that might just be because I like drawing Stefan... >3>;;; Kotetsu is hard to draw, though. .____.
Those rectangle drawings are supposed to be prints I might want to do, but I haven't been working diligently. 8D;; I think the Kotetsu-in-the-city-with-background-thing would look cool if I could actually draw backgrounds, but... FOR NOW, IT MAY HAVE TO REMAIN A THUMBNAIL SKETCH.
And there you go. Argh, me matie. >:V
I've been super productive this week. But not really. Have some great doodles I did instead of working on actual projects! 8D
I posted this on my tumblr, already, but here's some doodle of Prue and Noland. My tumblr is slowly becoming posts of hilarious quality phone photos of my drawings....
Prue is also really weird to draw with her hair down. I always imagine her with her hair in a clip or pony tail, so when I draw it down... it just doesn't look like her. xD
ALSO, YOU DON'T KNOW HOW GLAD I AM THAT SHE FINALLY HAS A NAME! Prue's been around for a while, but I've been reluctant to draw and post stuff about her b/c of her lack of name and finalized design. Her design's probably still going to go through some changes, but yeah. NAMES. They're important.
I've been meaning to post this for so many months, but I just didn't want to use my scanner......... WOW, LAZY. AMAZING.
I think this is the only time I've drawn Gabe's hair sort of realistically where it almost makes sense. Sometimes I try to imagine someone styling their hair like Gabe's in real life, but I always think it'll just turn out looking like the sun.
By the way, here was my face reference. :^D
More Gabe! This is the default winter outfit I draw him in. I like the idea of him wearing a jacket with a fuzzy hood, for some reason. :V
Also, I drew this before my tablet pen broke. THIS WAS ACTUALLY THE LAST THING I DREW BEFORE I DROPPED MY TABLET PEN... I need to order a new tablet already. -u-
On a completely different note, here's Gabe in a bathing suit acting like he always does! Warning, shirtless dude aaaaagh. (???)
Ignore the fact that his chest tattoo looks like a palm tree.
I feel like Gabe would wear the smallest possible swimshorts besides a speedo just for the attention value. Mostly to entertain (?) Stefan.
AND WHILE WE'RE ON THE TOPIC OF BATHING SUITS, here's Noland in a bathing suit, too!
I'm pretty bad at being consistent with the way I draw Noland, but this is about what he's supposed to look like. :V On a related note, here's what Noland has to say about his body:
I have amazing handwriting. Ha..... If this is too small to read, right click and say "open image in new tab," bro. ;o
The "cool and fit" Noland was really weird to draw, because I've more or less gotten used to drawing Noland with curvier (?) lines. It just... looks like Gabe's body with Noland's head....;;; Or like his original concept art.
Noland also doesn't mind being called cute. DEEP DOWN, HE THINKS OF HIMSELF AS CUTE, TOO... /idk
Prue's dialogue is still a little inconsistent because I'm not comfortable writing in her voice yet. GAH. I just have to make sure she doesn't sound too much like Stefan, or Stefan's Boss. (Not that you know what Stefan's Boss sounds like, but.............)
And lastly, some SteGabe idiots. NOW THAT PEOPLE IN THE REAL WORLD HAVE TOLD ME STEFAN AND GABE ARE CUTE, I feel no shame in drawing them. HA......;;; Actually, I didn't used to draw them a lot because some of my friends in high school gave me a hard time about Rick and Tim in 10th-ish grade, so I was just really secretive about Stefan and Gabe after that. :V I also used to assume everyone hated them because Stefan's 30 and Gabe's almost 30, which is OLD. Er. Older. But if I don't say their ages, people just kind of assumes they're in their like, early or mid-20's. I think people in their 30's still look pretty young, so... WHATEVER....
I also kind of forget that I'm still more than 10 years younger than Stefan. He is probably not anything like what a 30 year old man would act like, for I am nowhere close to being a 30 year old man..............
That was a weird tangent. Anyway, THAT'S ALL FOR NOW, FOLKS! I'm working on this colored pencil picture that I hope to finish this weekend, but might not because I want to draw a BACKGROUND. Ugh. Have a nice Friday, anyway! :D
Couple of things I did the other day. This is Prue, Noland's coworker/superior.
A lot about her personality is supposed to be similar to College Stefan, but I'm actually modeling most of her personality off of my History professor from this semester. :V She's someone who has clear authority, is not easy when it comes to school work, but is still respected and liked by her students. She's also published a couple books, over the years. Prue's Noland's closest adult friend. She knows and more or less accepts that Noland and Chrystal are close friends, but worries about the potential of Noland having a crush on one of his students. Kind of spoilers, but unlike Chrystal (who loses contact with Noland after graduation), Prue maintains a friendship with Noland for future years.
Annnnndddd... yeah, there's some brief info on her.
I've been having trouble with her design. orz In my head, I've imagined her with blonde hair since around the time I created Noland, But I felt she would look too much like Gliding Eagle if I kept her light haired. I also thought maybe I should have some sort of East Asian character, but she doesn't look like she comes from any country in East Asia because I ROCK SO MUCH. Gaaaaaahhh. Maybe she could pass for a really tall Korean girl. Idk. I guess the general Korean face type is the most diamond shaped out of East Asian countries, so... SURE. I want to keep her pointed, diamond-shaped face, is the issue. ._.
When I was designing her, I wanted to draw someone with a looooooong torsoooo. So there you go. She kind of ended up looking like my mom, though. GAH--
And here's a little doodle of her and Noland I did:
Even though I think Noland and Prue would be a really cute couple, I don’t think they’re ever going to be in an official relationship. :V Teach Me Something Good focuses more on the friendship between Chrystal and Noland, while Prue and Noland's relationship develops after that. Right now, I imagine them as developing this borderline-romantic-kind-of-touchy-feely-but-not-quite-officially-dating relationship over the years. Idk how it is. Myerp. It is canon for Prue to express having romantic feelings for Noland, though. :m It's mostly on Noland's will that they don't consider to be dating each other. Not that Noland doesn't believe in love, though. I think it's like he's looking to have a sort of fascination with a person to consider an emotion for that person to be love, which is something he doesn't feel for Prue.
OR.
SOMETHING.
But that's just Noland.
AND... yeah. Now that I'm back home, my drive to draw detailed things has plummeted. IDK WHY THIS HAPPENED... ;U;
