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!
Hey guys, thanks for the birthday messages on my birthday!!! ;u;/ ♥ Twas very sweet, dohoho.
Anyway, HERE'S MORE STUFF. WHOOP.
I wasn't going to post this because... shirtless Gabe... and butt... but you know, whatever. If it's bothering anyone, I'll take it down.
Anyway, I wanted to practice drawing Shirtless Dudes because idk, I guess that's what I do now. orz I JUST WANT TO PRACTICE DRAWING MUSCLES...!!! I see these people draw dudes with their muscles and they're just SO GOOD. I DON'T WANT TO DRAW GABE'S MUSCLES ALL WEIRD AND BLOCKY ANYMORE, I WANT TO BE GOOD AT DRAWING MUSCLES WAAHAHHEHGH. ;-; But no, it's just been bothering me when I look at old pictures of Gabe, and how I'd draw his muscles... Being angular is okay for Stefan and others, but I feel like Gabe's arms and stuff are supposed to have more round lines than angled. :T
Anyway. I used an abercrombie photo as my ref. Abercrombie photos are my secret to getting shirtless dude refs without actually searching anything sketchy. 8D;;;
I really weirdly like how I drew Stefan's calf in the top sketch. :^D
This outfit looked cooler in my head. -u-; But yeah, trying to draw Jo for the first time in forever. I'm pretty set on having her have short hair, since Gabe has pretty long hair. (??? Doesn't make sense;;;) For her hair, I'm thinking of having it have this sort of spiral shape to it. :V Idk, I'll work on it.
Also, I've never seriously drawn arms in this pose before, apparently. The hands were kind of difficult, aha;;
A smiling Gabe. :^D I'M STILL NOT OVER THE FACT THAT I CAN DRAW GABE FAIRLY COMFORTABLY....
Some Stefans. Stefan is so pointy. ...Idk what else to say about this, aha;;
Killua and Gon from Hunter x Hunter. I've been watching HxH since last semester, but I'm still not done. orz JUST... 50-ISH MORE EPISODES...? Weehhh....
Anyway, Killua and Gon are such cutie best friends!! ;-; So I drew them. I was thinking of making this into a mini print, but maybe... I'll make it a full-sized print, too....???? Idk, I'll just do both, aha. xD;
Older Gon, because IDK. Gon is like 12/13/14 in HxH, so I tried to draw him 16 or 17-ish. :^D I didn't change his outfit because I thought his shorts would still be cool. I just like when people wear shorts, okay. -u-b
LIKE I SAID... I LIKE SHORTS. THEY'RE COMFY AND EASY TO WEAR. Actually, I hate wearing shorts. BUT. Yeah. Noland in stupid swim trunks. 8D
I wanted to draw some Noland and Prue fluffy stuff. :^D Though I still don't really know what I'm doing with Prue. Waaaah, Prue, just reveal your secrets to meeee...!!!
Noland has gotten so cutesy over the years, though, idk what's happening. xD;;; I just like drawing this cute fluffy dude... :M;;
So yep. Gotta go work on stuff for finals, now. ALMOST SUMMER TIME, GUYS...!!! *U*/
Not a whole ton of stuff from last week, whoopsie. I WAS SO BUSY LAST WEEK, IDK WHAT HAPPENED;;; But uh, yeah.
Thought I'd doodle Stefan with a short hairstyle, for those top two drawings there. :^D I've just been into short hair these days. So many of my guy characters from around 2010 have hair that goes past their ears because I was never any good at drawing short hair... Maybe that's the reason I don't draw Rick and Tim anymore.
jk it's just 'cause i'm lame and can't think of any way to salvage them....;;; Apparently, it's been almost year since I've drawn Tim. :I IT ACTUALLY FEELS LONGER THAN THAT... I drew him last school year a fair amount more than I realized.
Uh... anyway, what was I talking about. Stefan with short hair? Stefan doesn't actually get his hair cut for good until some years later. I sometimes think that he'd be better with short hair because it suits his strict personality better, but I just... he's had long hair since high school, I imagine he's kind of sentimental about his long hair. HAHA, IDK STEFAN, YOU DO THAT...
How the heck do you draw heels.
Anyway, here's Noland trying on his mom's shoes when he's like in middle school, or something. I TRIED, drawing younger characters is always harder than I think it will be;;;
I guess this is the only canon time he wears feminine clothing, even though I draw him in skirts and stuff all the time. Idk what to really say about this without feeling like I'm getting weirdly dramatic, so uh... sorry. ;u;/ Maybe I'll draw this scene sometime to give better context...! I'd love to draw stuff about Noland's home life growing up, though I'm not sure if I could pull it off like I want to.
Not sure if any of you remember Jessica Marron, so here you go. She's one of the Nerdy and Jock kids.
Still not 100% sold on how I want to draw her... I'm getting this weird urge to draw her with EVEN BIGGER 80S HAIR and I'm not really sure if that's a sound idea;; I do like her, though, I kind of like where her personality is going. (YEAH I KNOW SHE KINDA JUST LOOKS LIKE ANY OTHER CHARACTER OF MINE RIGHT NOW BUT;;;) Jessica's reminding me WEIRDLY OF GABE, THOUGH... idk if you can see it, but I can because look at that pose. That's a pose I always draw Gabe in...............
I also seriously have no idea how high schoolers dress. Even in high school I didn't know what was considered the fashionable standard;;; HEY HIGH SCHOOL PEEPS. MAYBE HELP ME OUT A BIT, WHAT DO THE "COOL AND POPULAR" KIDS DRESS LIKE...
Also that person on the bottom there is no one, I just felt like drawing something.
Since I drew Peco, here's Smile from Ping Pong: The Animation. Speaking of PPTA, the English dub trailer recently came out. I think the voices are pretty good, but just a problem I've been having with dubs lately is that all the dubs are same-sounding. I WANT... MORE VARIETY... It's not that I even dislike dubs, I just wish I wouldn't hear the same kinds of voices in every anime dub.
BUT WHATEVZ, JUST FELT LIKE BEING MILDLY WHINY FOR A SEC, AHA.
GAH UNDERWEAR! I was initially worried that this pose was too ~*~sexy~*~, and I get concerned drawing Noland in ~*~sexy~*~ poses because he's a teacher. IT'S LIKE... PROBABLY DON'T ROMANTICIZE (?) YOUR TEACHER LIKE THIS, IT'S PROBABLY NOT OKAY.
But at the same time Noland's like the same age as Stefan and only a little older than Gabe... and I don't have that same problem with making Gabe ~*~sexy~*~, so I wonder if I really should be so concerned about Noland. I guess it just depends on whether he's supposed to be taken as a teacher or just another character of mine.
/IDK WHERE THIS WAS GOING
Made some more progress with that Roy pic. The legs are still bothering me a bit, but they're looking better. Not sure how I want to color this yet, hrmmrmrm.
WELL, that's the end of that. Sorry for blabbing so much, guess I was just in the mood to talk. xD;
These titles are getting worse. Bleh.
Here's some stuff I've drawn over the past couple weeks. :v Also, sorry for the weird bored tone in this post, idk what's up, haha;;
I drew this because I wanted to see how exactly I draw Noland when I'm not doodling. ...yeah, idk what else to say. -u-b
I drew this because I wanted to doodle Noland. ...still not much to say;;;
Character ref of O. J. I made for KASA'S ROLE PLAY, WHICH YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT!!! 8D Yeh.
Idk why O. J. is just like PEACE SIGN all the time. orz POSES ARE HARD!!!
Some thing of Gabe that looks off to me, and idk why...!! Idk, his eye is too low or something.
All the drawings in this post so far aren't even ones I feel like I should be posting, but am because I have nothing else to post. orz
Here's a character ref I made for Charlotte! She feels so short to me. WHICH... I GUESS IS OKAY, SHE'S SUPPOSED TO BE PRETTY SHORT.
Charlotte basically looks like this one girl I sat across from in art class in high school, except a little more daring (?) with her clothing. :V Though idk, I feel like Charlotte's clothes are pretty normal. Maybe I'm just used to drawing and looking at them.
blee blah.
Stef, my boy. Expressions are kind of hard to do on your long, pointy face...
I feel like I need to go and practice expressions some more, or just head angles in general. I STILL CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE LOOKING UP ANGLE, YET, I'VE BEEN LOOKING AT PICTURES AND TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT SINCE LIKE SENIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL...
But uh, yeah. I like drawing Stefan's expressions, though. He's always so annoyed, aha;;;
Oh, not really a new thing I drew or anything, but I went and printed this. It's a lot darker than how it looked on my computer, but I think the colors still look pretty good! :V
Now I finally have some SteGabe for my wall, hoo hah hah. -u-
Oh hey, I drew this this morning! I'm experimenting with using a smaller pen size and a sketchier line art, to see what the outcome is like. :V It's pretty fun to work with, and a lot less stressful than how I normally do line art with SAI's pen tool, but I'm still not sure what it's going to look like in the end. Hopefully it'll look good...!
But yeah, Roy. I was in the mood to draw him. The legs and his tunic are tripping me up, though;;; Hope it turns out okay.
...YAH, that's all I've got for you today. BE COOL, MY FOOL. B)
I made a little timeline of how I used to draw Gabe, Stefan, and Noland a couple nights ago, because I was avoiding doing homework. -u-b HAVE A GANDER, IF YOU LIKE...

I never know what to title these dumps because there's usually no surrounding theme or anything... ANYWAY, drawing dump time. I feel like I just posted one, but I guess that was actually like a week ago. :O
ALSO, thanks, to everyone who joined my challenge!! I'll go and comment on everyone's piece, and then I'll decide on the winners. I'll try to finish that up by next week! c:
Katsucon made me want to draw some SSB fan art. This is coming out strangely cartoon-y, though, not entirely sure how I feel about it right now. Maybe it'll look good in the end, idk. INCONSISTENT!
The Pit I've drawn here is so different from the whiny-pouty-Pit I used to draw in 8th grade. :I MAYBE SSB4 PIT IS DIFFERENT FROM SSBB PIT, LIKE... THEY HAVE DIFFERENT VOICE ACTORS. So there.
There was a text post going around on tumblr, which made me think TEENS IN FORMAL WEAR. WHAT A FANTASTIC IDEA. So yeah, here's Ned and Jack going to some dance together.
Idk why Jack is looking so short, lately... originally, Ned wasn't supposed to be that much taller than him. But idk, there is a visible height difference between them... so this is probably actually right, haha. Jack's like 5'8 or 5'9, btw, while Ned's at least 6 foot.
PruexNolandxPillow, OT3. (I-i'm just kidding, don't bother me;;;)
I just wanted to draw Noland and Prue being snuggle bums. :V Prue looks too different with her hair down, though, I can't get used to it;;;
Still waiting on the day when I have the energy and time to type a big post about Noland and Prue, and probably also some about Chrystal and just Teach Me Something Good in general. :I
I guess I'll just say here that even though Noland isn't romantically interested in Prue, the two of them do, like...cuddle, hold hands, and sometimes kiss. But it never reaches a sexual point. Also, Prue is romantically interested in Noland, but understands that he doesn't have the same objectives as she does. She's also let Noland know how she feels, but doesn't try to pressure him or their friendship in any direction that he doesn't want it to go.
Idk, they're basically just very open about their feelings and communicate with each other a lot to let each other know what they're thinking about and also what they want to do as far as romantic interaction goes.... idk if this is making any sense, but yeah. Noland and Prue have a fairly intimate relationship, but neither of them see themselves as dating the other or anything like that.
Yeah. There's the poorly written abridged version of that.
Thought I'd try to figure out the flow of Gabe's hair, one night. :V I pretty much traced these photos to help me get the gist of the flow. I'm not really sure if I like how fluffy Gabe's hair is in these, but idk, it's definitely interesting... I feel like I'm slowly getting closer to THE KEY THAT WILL UNLOCK THE MYSTERIES OF GABE'S HAIR.
...but in the meantime, I'll just be drawing it like I always do. B)
I just... really like drawing Noland with pillows. And also drawing Noland in his underwear, apparently. I'M SORRY, I JUST THINK BOXER BRIEFS LOOK KIND OF CUTE AAAAAAH WHEN DID I GET SO PG-13;;;; But uh, yeah. Anyway, pillows. I really like pillows, so I kind of gave Noland my love for pillows. YOU UNDERSTAND, RIGHT, NOLAND? A NICE FLUFFY PILLOW IS A WONDERFUL THING.
I really liked how this looked while I was drawing it, but now that I look back on it, Noland looks a little too young. BUT I MEAN, HE KIND OF ALWAYS DOES... look too young, I mean. I swear he's 33, he's just... a human fluff pillow...............
Mr. Hanekoma from The World Ends With You. I kind of just wanted to see if I could draw him. :V While I was drawing him, though, I realized he looked weirdly similar to Leorio from Hunter x Hunter. Is this some sort of anime/Japanese trope that I'm not aware of...???
Hm.
YEAH, ANYWAY, have a great week and stuff. I wish I had better ways to end my posts, haha. xD:;
