Various Planning

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.

WIPs: OFAV SAI Pictures

For some reason, I haven't been working on traditional art... ._. I don't have any particular sketches that I feel like inking, because I hate inking. xD;
SO INSTEAD, I've been doing some stuff on Paint tool SAI.
I've been in an OFAV mood lately, too...

....I don't really know what to say about this. I think I'm getting the hang of this whole CGing thing, though. xD;
To me, Tomato's eye looks really scary. o____o Or it did, earlier. I had drawn some lip gloss or something on his lips, but somehow it made his eye look scary. (He looked fine with it before I colored his eye! :I) I erased the lip stuff because it somehow made his eye look less scary.
(Yeah, I have no idea.)
Oh yeah, and look. It's Danny. :U

External Image
AGH, chests. Let's not look at them.
Anyways, here's how that summer picture is coming along. I think this is the last WIP I'll post of it, because I want it to be at least some sort of surprise when you open it in your backroom... xD;

YEAH. Just thought I'd show you guys what I'm working on. :U As always, thanks for viewing! :)

Miscellaneous Things

I haven't been posting a lot of WIPs lately, just doodles... xD; Here's some doodles. YAY.

External Image
These are for Harvestmoonluvr, who got me in the mood to draw some Dare. :U Just some random comics... yeah. xD
Literal fruit. (Idk, that's just what came up when I googled "literal fruit" just now...)

External Image
I drew this at the beach. Just an OFAV relationship chart. It looks complicated, but it's less confusing than it looks. xD

External Image
Some random thing of Gabe that I drew last week. It started with a random head, and ended up turning into Gabe... YEAH. I don't doodle much on SAI, so this was kind of weird to draw. ._.

External Image
Just finished this today! :0 It was pretty quick 'cause I didn't color anything. There's some Japanese in (randomly. xD;;;), so here's the translations:
Enraged: Tomato-kun!
Sad: I look sad? Um... no I don't.
Bashful: (He doesn't have glasses)
Impatient: Hurry up...
Also, here's the link to the magazine cover I used. :M [click]

AND YEAH! I've said it before, but these posts always end abruptly.
Oh.
And here's a secret number character that I didn't tell you about in the previous post. I made him for my sister... [click]
And with that, I leave you.

This has both Sketches and Doodles

I felt the need to post some sketches.
SO HERE!

External Image
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

External Image
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

External Image
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...

External Image
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;

External Image
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!

External Image
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.

Suit Studies

I was talking a little while ago about how I thought it'd be a good idea to learn how to draw actual suits for Stefan. So today, I took the time to take a couple of notes/etc on suits! 8D

Looking up references made me notice that I've been drawing Stefan's suit collar (lapel?) too big. :M; THE POWER OF REFERENCES...
When I was reading about and looking at pictures of suits, I discovered that there are more styles than I realized. .o. I also realized that another word for vest is "waistcoat". Do more English-speaking countries use vest, or waistcoat...? .________.

As Stefan's outfit currently is, he doesn't wear a tie. I think I want to give him one... *u* I've been wanting to give him more variation in his clothing, and I could do that through different ties and undershirts and stuff.
STEFAN! NOW YOU HAVE MORE THAN ONE OUTFIT IN YOUR CLOSET! Be proud.

And so. Now I can sort of draw suits better. HOORAY! Maybe you'll find some use in this if you ever want to draw suits. xD;

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-

External Image
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

External Image
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;;;

External Image
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.
