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.

FURST WEEK OF SKOOL drawings

Yeah! Happy first week of school, friends. I still need to buy one of my books;;; BUT ANYWAY, have some stuff I've drawn.

O. J. being himself. I actually like how this thing came out, it was really fun to draw. :^D Haha. I'm sometimes kind of tempted to make this his default outfit, but I don't like the fact that the big fluffy jacket covers up his arms. Mainly because I just like to draw his arms...

I was going to post this in my fashion world, but I decided not to since it's just a side view of the outfit... weh. I just wanted to draw Noland in something other than BROWN AND RED, since that's what I always draw him in. xD;

Somewhere in me, I keep thinking this picture is supposedly too "steamy" for theOtaku. Idk what that says about me. AM I TOO CAUTIOUS ABOUT THE AGE GROUP ON THEO? AM I JUST NOT ABLE TO TELL WHAT IS "STEAMY" AND WHAT IS NOT, ANYMORE...? The reason I'm even thinking about where this falls on the PG to PG-13 scale is because of Stefan's legs in the picture. :V
Although, I've drawn and posted things of varying questionable content, before, so maybe I shouldn't worry about it. Also, none of those pictures I linked are canon, anymore. *u*; Things started to get more in line with how I currently see Stefan and Gabe with this picture, which is from like... May 2012, apparently. Yeah. SteGabe before that = not cannon. SteGabe after that = basically canon.
Anyway, idk what I'm talking about, anymore. Hm. THAT WAS A NICE BLAB ABOUT NOTHING. WHATEVER THIS IS MY WORLD, I'LL BLAB ABOUT WHAT I WANT....;;;

PRUE IS SO HARD TO DRAW. What up with that, Prue. Why are you doing this to me. I'm already pretty bad at drawing two eyes, but something about the way her face is shaped makes it even more difficult for me to draw two eyes on her. I'm also not entirely sure how pretty I want to draw her face, yet... there are some pictures where I draw her face with small and pretty features, and other times where I give her more sharp, kind of harsh features. Idk, you might not notice. I'M STRUGGLING, PRUE... STRUGGLING WITH EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU. Though I'm really interested in the kind of character she is, I have the most trouble figuring her out and having a concrete way of describing her. orz
BUGHLSD

Yo, sorry for getting weirdly rant-y near the end, haha;;; xD; I JUST... WANT TO TALK ABOUT MY CHARACTERS SOMEWHERE.
Oh, I drew a couple chibis for the Nerdy and Jock cast this week, also, but I'm going to post those all as a group to my portfolio or something once I finish them. :D YAH.

HAVE A LOVELY WEEK, YOU PEEPS.

Final Drawings of Winter Break.... ;m;

WAH, I'M GOING BACK TO SCHOOL TOMORROW.... The good news is that my professor just e-mailed me telling me she'll let me override into her class. I'm also taking fewer credits this semester, so maybe I'll have more free time.
But. Yeah. School.

I've been kind of inactive as far as drawing goes because I've been trying to finish my Virion cosplay for Katsucon (which I didn't...;;;) BUT! Here's some stuff I've drawn the past couple weeks.

KISSING! One of my greatest enemies. I think this kissing thing came out pretty good, but I'm bad at drawing kisses from different angles. Anyway, this is an actually-going-to-be-detailed-y kind of picture that I'm working on. Line arting is taking a while, but I think I can finish it up eventually. It's 11 x 17 size, so maybe I'll print this and have a lovely SteGabe poster on my wall...

I wanted a break from drawing the above picture, so I drew this thing of Noland. Not much to say about it, idk.

I wanted to draw this picture of Barnaby, because WHY NOT! Pretty boy fluffy hair Barnaby is the Barnaby for me.

Some doodles. Tried drawing Mikoshiba from Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, which was... an experience...;;; WHY AM I BAD AT DRAWING ANIME BOYS.
Btw, I finished watching the Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-Kun anime, which is FANTASTIC!!! It's hilarious and cute and I recommend it to the 9th power. (?)

I didn't know what to draw the other day, so I drew Gabe in a suit. Will most likely remain a sketch forever. :V I also forgot how to draw hands in this picture, or something;;; So yeah, sorry for the lack of COOL HANDS here.

Was suddenly in a Stefan mood, this morning. Here's a sunglasses-less Stefan looking condescendingly at you.
I'm kind of surprised when my parents recognize my characters... I was drawing Stefan some weeks ago, and my dad was like, "You like drawing that guy with the pointy chin, don't you?" I was just just happy he recognized Stefan as Pointy Chin Guy.

elricbrothersfan sort of reminded me that I should draw Ned! :V So this one's for her, haha.
Idk if Ned even looks Ned-y enough, here. I MEAN... I GUESS HE DOES...? I wish I drew more Nerdy and Jock strips, but drawing comics is just so time consuming. orz (Actually, each strip probably only takes like an hour or two, but YOU KNOW;;;;)

AND... THAT'S THE END. HAVE A GREAT LIFE. I'll be in school. ;u;b

STUFF WHOOP

I wish I'd stop making these art dumps SO LARGE! I should limit myself to 3 or 4 things per dump, instead of TEN.

I got some watercolor materials for Christmas! So I drew my cousin's daughter for her, because I kind of said I would back in the summertime;;; I ref'd a photo, but I don't feel like getting it onto the computer so TOO BAD FOR YOU! 8D
I want to do some other watercolor drawings, but idk what, yet. ANY... SUGGESTIONS...???

BERT. My fire emblem OC. Haven't drawn the poor guy in a while. Hopefully will draw him again soon.
The end.

LITTLE MAC. From Super Smash Bros. 4. Might make some SSB4 keychains, or an SSB4 print, if I can think of anything. :^D
Maybe.
Hopefully.

Trying to figure out Dmitri's face... he's one of the characters in Nerdy and Jock. I ACTUALLY LIKE THIS GUY QUITE A BIT, NOT THAT YOU WOULD KNOW... Idk, I love drawing ANGRY FOOLS.

It's Devin! My Animal Crossing mayor! Just felt like drawing him. :V I want to play AC, but I left my DS in my dorm room... orz WHAT A FOOLISH MOVE, AKIOH...

Wanted to update Noland's body ref. His face came out kinda eh, but idk I think the body is accurate. :V IDK, I'M BAD AT THIS CONSISTENCY THING.

AAAAGH, SCANDALOUS...??? There's no meaning to this, I just wanted to draw a moody, underwear-clad Noland. I did something different with the line art-y thing, though, which was interesting! 8^D I suppose.

Jack says, "whutup."
Yeah, idk what to say about this.

steFAN WORK WITH ME i can't MESS WITH YOU if you FLIRT right BACK at ME
-Gabe
Gabe, stop swearing. I drew this two seconds ago, because HOOBADOOBADO! (????) I hadn't drawn this sort of scene in a while, and then it turned into this.
Stefan and Gabe are my homeboys. :^D

Idk why I decided to draw his arm like that, I have no idea how perspective is supposed to work.

ANYWAY, that's all I've got for you, today! :D HAVE A LOVELY WEDNESDAY.

Christmas card things, and other doobops

For Christmas, I made a couple 3 inch by 5 inch drawings for my friends. :V I meant to post these last week when I finished them, but then I forgot... so I guess I'll just stick them in a doodle dump with some other stuff. *u*b

(^this one was for keyblademewkasa, btw. 8^D /pointless mention)

Idk what to say about these individually, really... overall, they were a lot of help with practicing coloring! *U*b Though it turns out 3x5 is actually very small, when printed. Idk why I thought they would be larger, when I went to print them... BUT WELL, now I know to make them bigger, next time. :^D
I felt bad for making the Dean Johnson drawing for one of my friends, because it was just of my OC... I was running out of time before break, and my characters are the fastest for me to draw. She likes Dean, though, so she was pretty happy with it in the end. -u-b

Some Noland head that came out pretty decent. Noland has such an afro, idk what happened with his design. :I ALL OF MY CHARACTERS GET PUFFY HAIR, EVENTUALLY... It's weird for me to think that I've only had him for a year and a half, though! I feel like he's been around a long time.
Sometimes, I want to draw out chapters from Teach Me Something Good so I can draw NOLAND IN ACCTION (??) and not just as a silent fretful dude. But DIALOGUE! DIALOGUE TAKES SO LONG TO WRITE OUT!! And then I'd have to figure out how to panel all those pieces of dialogue, and then I'd have to draw all those panels, and then and then and then... I felt like that SteGabe comic I did this year was a big ordeal, but it was actually a relatively simple comic to plan out and draw. Doing chapters from TMSG would be like 30+ pages to draw, and with more backgrounds and scene changes.... guhghgh. orz Idk how professional comic people can do this. WEH. ;m;
...and there's my mini blab about how distressing comics can be.

I felt like drawing O. J., one day, so I drew him. My sketchbook is only big enough for me to comfortably draw people in full body when they're sitting down... but if I get a bigger sketchbook, then everything gets distorted b/c of the angle I draw at. :I HGBLAGH.

SEE? ALWAYS SITTING.
But yeah, I wanted to draw Noland and Prue being cute butts. I'm slowly figuring stuff out about Prue, as far as her backstory and personality go. Something about being a 3rd wheel all her life or something, idk. (i-it sounds lame when I put it like that, but.......;;;)
I blabbed a whole ton to Michka about Noland and Prue's relationship, so MAYBE ONE DAY... I'LL MAKE A COMPREHENSIVE POST ABOUT THEM.... I've said that before, and I still haven't done it. I just want to make like PICTURE DIAGRAMS (??) or something to go along with it, because just words on their own is too boring. :I
Anyway, yeah. I started inking this, but I only got as far as this at the moment:

I'm kind of excited to color, but a little worried... I'm using a canvas size that equates to 11 x 17 inches, so WHO KNOWS WHAT'LL HAPPEN... I'm mainly worried about the program crashing while I work on the drawing. orz

O. J. again. I'm not used to seeing him in what's supposed to be his "normal clothing," so... yeah, drew this to familiarize myself or something. I changed his color scheme from pastel clothing to brighter, more saturated colors because WHY NOT. Idk, the pastel just wasn't working for me. It made him look to washed out and kinda dead. orz SO BRIGHT COLORS IT IS!

Blagh. Idk what else to say. GOTTA WORK ON SS STUFF, EVEN THOUGH I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DOOOOOO.......
