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.

More Pointless Things!

I post so many useless things and doodles in this world. orz

Not really a true "Draw This Again" meme, but DO I EVER TRULY DO THEM? No.
Anyways, these are commissions I did of random bunny people, for some reason. The left was for shinshou on tinierme, while the right was for snow-rabbit148 on gaia.
Things that have changed for me as far as drawing goes is digital line art (which is thinner and colored), digital shading (which is usually cell shading + airbrush), and ~*~FACES~*~! Here's a long blob of footnotes from deviantART because I'm not cool enough to type something new.
I've always been really frustrated by the way I draw faces on people, because I never used to draw them with logical sense. I was aware I drew them weirdly, but I didn't bother to try to change them because... I just was lazy.... o3o;;;; But sometime last year something helped me figure out how to draw faces better. Weirdly enough, I think it was a drawing of my Physics teacher I did back in May of last year that indirectly helped me figure out faces. (IT WAS A GIFT, OKAY) Drawing my Physics teacher made me want to make a character with short hair and a different chin... which is how Noland came into existence! 8D Partially. I had been thinking about Noland's personality for about a month or less, but I didn't know what he should look like. He actually does kind of resemble my Physics teacher in the first sketches I drew of him, but that's mostly because of the dark shaded hair.
Anyway, I've somehow figured out a way to draw heads and faces that makes at least more sense to me than it did, so that's good... I really do want to get better at face shapes. :M;;; So far, I can only draw 3-ish vaguely different face shapes. xD; AHA... but I'll get better.

Also, something else about Noland relevant to that large blob of text! My friend from real life commented on this asking if I modeled Noland after a her physics teacher from my high school. I didn't (I had a different physics teacher), but Noland actually is a lot like her teacher from what I've heard. xD; I even found this perfect quote from his "rate my teacher" profile that easily could be applied to Noland:
"No idea what on earth he is doing.. It is truly saddening because you can see that he is extremely smart, and genuinely wants us to understand [English], and he is so passionate about it. BUT, he is terrified of high schoolers."
I actually didn't post that for you guys, I posted it here so I can remember it. THIS IS MY WORLD, I'LL DO WHAT I WANT.
Punks. >:V

STEFAN BEING ALL EMBARRASSED. I like drawing random blushing dudes, okay... ;U;
I have so much less to say about this compared to the previous picture. .___.

I call this, "Gabe Gesturing at Nothing, Forever."
I wanted to do a quick animation of something, but animating takes so long. ""orz This took longer than I thought, and it's only 7 frames...! xD;; I could've added more frames to make it less choppy, but meeehhhhh... animating is hard. BUT SERIOUSLY, It's really difficult because you have to make everything the same size as it was in the previous slide, and make sure every part of the person makes sense relative to the previous slide... I don't feel like going back and fixing Gabe's sleeves. I KNOW THEY WOBBLE. ;A; Bububububuh. I didn't even give him a tattoo because I know I would mess it up somehow. xD;;;;
As lazy as this animation came out, it's actually more detailed than any of the animations I did in that English project last school year. -u-b

I'm going to get back to studying now. :V HAPPY ALMOST FRIDAY!

Noland Expression Meme

OH YEAH. Forgot to post this.

Noland's crying face is the easiest to draw out of my characters, I think. BECAUSE HE IS JUST A BOO HOO BOY. (???) Gabe, on the other hand, is really difficult to draw crying. I have a total of one successful example that I don't feel like scanning.

For the submissive/dominant ones, I never know what to draw. xD; I stuck Stefan in there because I didn't know what to do otherwise. Noland looked basically the same in college as he does now... idk how that's possible, but HAH. WHATEVER... >3>;;; I wrote in his profile that "he aged quickly" or something, but these days Noland looks like a 5 year old. I don't know whyyyyy...... ;A;
Also, the sound effect there is "ruffle," but wrote it as "rffl" for unknown reasons.

For the enraged one, I was a little unsure of what to draw. Noland doesn't really get real angry. The thing I drew is from a scene where Chrystal keeps asking Noland if she can try his cigarettes. I HAVE MENTIONED THAT NOLAND SMOKES... but I haven't really talked about it much, I guess. Here's this, as PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE.

Not a photo. Obviously. UNLESS THIS IS A PHOTO OF MY COMPUTER SCREEN! Which it's not.
I think this is from September, so it's RATHER OLD.

I think Noland has already undergone CHARACTER PERSONALITY EXAGGERATION SYNDROME. That's not real, but it is now. I believe it's called Flanderization on TVtropes.
BUT REALLY, CHECK HIM OUT IN THE FIRST POST I POSTED HIM IN. It's already been 7 months since I made him, actually.
It's partially because I shaded Noland's hair and made it look dark that he seems different, but he's also somewhat more bashful now than he was. Idk! I think Noland's starting to overlap with Rick too much, so I'll try to fix that somehow.

But uh. Yeah. I should be reading for homework..........
BYE GUYS, HAVE A NICE DAY! C:

SO MUCH NOLAND!

I was feeling moody today, so I ended up drawing a whole ton of Noland today. xD; Kind of fun! But I hate drawing his hair. It has not gotten any easier. Anyway, here's my Noland doodles from today, and a couple from the rest of the school year.

...I also wrote a lot of random stuff, so I guess I'll transcribe it for you so you can see JUST HOW MOODY AND DRAMATIC NOLAND IS! 8D And I'll just have the transcriptions instead of the usual random talk about the pictures that I usually do. I also hinted briefly at a secret thing about Noland's story that I haven't mentioned to you yet.
You probably won't find it. :V
You'll probably take that as a challenge. :^D

"Desire is a dangerous thing"
"I don't want to feel like that..."
"Noland's hair is slowly turning into this weird afro thing...;;"
"(That one lonely guy)"

"The ones who wound you help you move on. (Male experienced despoilment; And he'll admit it.)"
"I've been in a rut."
"Leave those emotions behind. Passion is a dream that doesn't need to happen."

"Crystal isn't a love interest, but she is a true friend. I think with most of my characters, I emphasize that emotional love is more important than physical love. But here, I want to say that friendship is just as valuable (or even more so) than love. Basically: It's okay never to fall in permanent love."
"Even w/o love, you won't be lonely b/c you have friends."
"Be careful of the downfalls of overhyping romance."
Noland: "She's always surprising me."
Chrystal: "Stop hating yourself. (your emotions alone never did anything to hurt me.)"

"Pay no mind: he's only crying from withdrawal."
"The movies told me I'd win my first love over again."
"Can't get back again."

"でも [however], something's not right..."
"何を見ている、ノランドくん?" (What are you looking at, Noland?)

This one doesn't any words on it, but it seemed related to the previous picture. Since he's looking at his hand here, and he's looking at his hand in the previous picture... yeah.

This one has no words, either! The idea here was that they're blinding each other. Idk. OR DO I K? Youdk.
(?????? I...yeah.)

No words, except for some of the lyrics to "We Never Change" by Coldplay. Noland is running! WOW!
Also, that's supposed to be Tim's dad on the right. Actually, it's how Tim's dad looks in a dream that Tim has. And the eyepatch is just something I added because I hate drawing 2 eyes. xD

"Noland dresses more like Stefan, stands more like Gabe, and acts more like Dean. (??)"

OH YEAH, almost forgot I did this random Noland Tegakie thing.

Drawing on Tegakie is still hard. But coloring feels easier, somehow. Idk how much of a success this is because it still looks weird to me, but the coloring was fun. xD
Noland's face is always "BOO HOO. HOO. HOO BOO."

Alright, that's everything! SO MUCH NOLAND! WOW. Look at all that hair that I can't draw. Look at all those two eyes that are actually one eye because EVERYONE HAS ONLY ONE EYE.
GOSH.
Okay, I need to work on my research paper or study or something, now. xD Thanks much for reading!! :D

Noland Line Art

As I've mentioned previously, I've been pretty into drawing Noland lately. SO, here's a line art! WOO HOO!

I actually wasn't going to ink this, but I got so bored one day that I did. THAT'S RIGHT. PRODUCTIVITY THROUGH BOREDOM. Yeah. I wanted to draw winter clothes. Noland's winter outfit looks a lot like Stefan's... not that any of you know what Stefan wears in wintertime, since I haven't posted anything like that. When I draw Noland, I imagine him to dress fancy, but a notch less fancy than Stefan. :V

I think the worst part about drawing Noland is his hair. It's never consistent! ;u; WHY, SHORT HAIR... And foreheads.

I've been really into the song #41 by the Dave Matthews Band as of recent. So that's where that bit of lyric comes from, in the picture. I don't really like including lyrics in pictures, but I wrote it in there for the sketch... and idk, kept it BECAUSE I CAN.

I don't know what else to say, so I guess that's the end of this post. POINTLESS! 8D I wish I had more pictures to upload, but I don't have time to scan. I have to go to class now.
