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!
I meant to post some of these a couple weeks ago, but couldn't because of con stuff. xD; But whatevz! Here's some drawings.
I WAS GONNA POST THIS TO MY PORTFOLIO...!!!! But then I didn't, and here we are. THIS IS KIND OF LATE, BUT I'M SO GLAD TO SEE ROY BACK IN SUPER SMASHHHH!!!!!! ;U;/ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ It's been too long, my friend. His new outfit is really cool. *u*b except for the bell-bottoms but HWATEVA
So yeah. Have some Roy to celebrate his return to the Smash Bros universe. :,DDD
Oh yeah, have some Little Mac too, 'cause I guess he's cool or something. -u-
I did this Noland drawing around the same time I did those pose practices in the previous post. :U I didn't use a ref for this, though, just kinda winged it. I like drawing Noland's legs when they're bent. :U
I just wanted to draw a cute Noland.
EVEN MORE NOLAND! Noland likes getting affection (as most people do, I guess). He's kind of lazy when giving affection, he'd rather not do anything. (?)
Someone on Tumblr wanted me to draw Kotetsu from Tiger and Bunny for the emoji challenge. :^D This was emoji b3.
I kinda miss drawing Kotetsu! Maybe I can draw him and Barnaby better, if I try again... :V HM.
Anoter one for the emoji challenge! This was for WyvernWings, actually, of their character Pumpkin Chai with my O. J. :^D This time I put the emojis on the pic itself, so there you go.
Random Gabie-Boo I drew to get away from working on cosplay stuff last week. orz
Drew some Steven Universe fan art, 'cause why the heck not. I've only seen like 5 episodes of this show, so I wouldn't really call myself a fan;;; But it's not a bad show. ;m I wanted to draw Jasper because I like drawing muscles, even though I have no idea what I'm doing.
Idk, I thought it'd be interesting to compare Noland and Stefan's head shapes, since they're the most drastically different from one another. :^D STEFAN IS SUCH A POINTY INDIVIDUAL!
YEAH!
Okay, that's all I've got. THANKS FOR THE VIEWAGE, MY FRIENDAGE. (????)
YO. I feel weird posting so soon, since I already posted to this world this week. xD; But I've been drawing a lot of stuff, so I want to just go ahead and post the stuff. :U So here we go!
This was Little Mac from that one drawing I did in February, that I don't think I'll ever finish. xD;; It was just coming out too meh for me to finish it. "orz BUT OH WELL! Maybe I'll do a different drawing with some SSB4 characters, some time.
But yeah, just messing around with soft shading... This was kind of fun to do, but soft shading just isn't fun/comfortable for me! I say this every time I talk about soft shading, but I think it is just not the lifestyle for me. *3*/;; But oh well.
Noland in PJs. :^D Because that's what you do, when you're me. Draw Noland in PJs. (?)
AHA, okay yeah idk why I'm posting this. But I am.
Keyblademewkasa and I were talking about doing a The World Ends With You cosplay for Anime USA, where she'd be Rhyme and I'd be Beat. But I am a blind and skinny fool, so here is an artistic representation of my cosplay.
Some coloring test I did on the Roy picture. It was too inconsistent for me to feel comfortable doing, so I switched to the coloring I did in the finished picture. xD
A ~*~dramatic~*~ picture of Stefan and Gabe. I was thinking about how I always used to draw Stefan crying, when I was in high school. So that's what I decided to do, here.
I keep drawing the weird dot-eyes that I usually only do in doodles, but in more detailed drawings! >:U Idk how I feel about this. I've kind of always had a weird relationship with eyes, but eh... something about drawing the dot eyes instead of more detailed eyes all the time... idk what to do about it. xD
/idk if that even made sense
I said I would ink this a while ago, so I finally did, haha. Though inking is a pain, traditional inking is, in some way, strangely relaxing. :^D I just don't like to do it too often, because I always mess up and INK! IS NOT ERASABLE!
I guess I'll get around to coloring this, at some point. Haven't seriously done traditional coloring in like a year, though, so idk how that'll go. HA...
Noland chibi! 'Cause I thought it'd be cute. I haven't really posted a lot of them, here, but I've been drawing a lot of chibis for people on gaia and for charm designs. I think I've finally got the hang of them, hahaha. :^D
When I drew this, I kept thinking "NOLAND LOOKS LIKE SUCH A DAD... SO WHY DO I STILL THINK HE'S CUTE.............."
Idk what that says about me.
Anyway, yeah. Here's Noland either grading some papers, or looking over his own writing. Also smoking is not wise, kids, don't do it. ;U
And. That's my post. :D Thanks for viewing!
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:;
HALLO, FRIENDS! Katsucon was this past weekend! It was a lot of fun, but it's good to be back and stuff. :^D I'll talk about it and post pictures in my normal blog-y world some time this week, but for now, have some drawings and WIPs and stuff.
Felt like giving another shot at one of those fake screenshot things, so here's the flats. I always draw Tomato in blue and white stripes, but I just... really like those colors on him... orz ALSO HE LOOKS SO YOUNG, SORRY FOR THE WEIRD SMALL SHOULDERS...! I didn't feel like fixing the proportions, haha;;;
Had another little crisis about Gabe's hair. Though I've definitely gotten more comfortable drawing his hair, I still think he looks kind of goofy compared to the shorter hairstyle... BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IDK, I think his stupid hair is stupidly cute...!! And it just look so Gabe, idk.
I was talking to a friend about it the other day, and she was saying his hair isn't bad, it just doesn't seem like the kind of hairstyle a 28-year-old should have. I'm thinking I might try to incorporate a haircut into Gabe's timeline... because his difficulty accepting his age is some sort of theme, or something. I mean, he still acts like and kind of likes to believe he's still in his teens or early 20's. So maybe getting his hair cut to be something (sort of a little barely) more mature can come at a point when he's more comfortable accepting his age or WHATEVER..........????? Something like that. It sounds kinda silly typed out like that, but I can see someone actually doing something along those lines... maybe............
Yeh.
This next thing has swearing in it and I'm a little too lazy to go and censor it, so read at your own... risk? Risk is not the right word. Reading comics is not risky.
Idk what the punchline is, just look at Jack's funny face and laugh. *u*b
I made this comic because I don't think that either Ned or Jack personally identify with any sexual orientation title, they kinda just have an "I like who I end up liking" mentality (especially Ned, who doesn't stress over his preferences like Jack does). I mean, the two of them do sort of have an underlying set of preferences that I decided on and could mention, but the two of them themselves aren't fully aware of their preferences and don't really try to define them either. So I don't think it's really that important to mention. :M
Not that there's anything wrong with definitively deciding on a sexual orientation, or anything; Charlotte identifies as pan, Brodney identifies as straight, and other characters have their own thing. Ned and Jack don't really identify as anything specific, though. :V
/some talk about something
I'll try to make the rest of the Nerdy and Jock comics that I do less orientation-related, and just about teenagers being silly. *u*b
Dmitri wears shorts forever.
Also, I still have no idea what's up with this guys hair. xD;;;
I'M REALLY WORRIED ABOUT THE BACKGROUND, so I added like some test colors and overlay colors to see what it'll look like. The colors actually look pretty decent, so that's good. I'm just really worried about actually doing the background... orz
ROY!!!!
WHAT IS HE DOING HERE?? I haven't drawn him in so long. If you're a long-time subscriber of mine, you may remember I drew him all the time, back in the day. The reason for his sudden reappearance is that someone was selling these really cute SSB charms at Katsucon... I was about to buy the Little Mac one, when my friend was like,
"LOOK. THEY HAVE ROY."
And I died a little because it was such a cute charm. I bought it. B) BUT REALLY, ROY MERCH IN THIS DAY AND AGE... it makes me so happy. ;u;/ So yeah, I drew this because my love for Roy was rekindled a little. *u*b
Yeah, I think Little Mac is pretty cool... I just like muscle boys, okay.
There was this one Little Mac cosplayer we saw when we were pulling into the Katsucon hotel, who was RIPPED. ...Or just had somewhat more muscle than average. I was impressed (?), because most of the other Little Mac cosplayers were just regular dudes. WHICH IS FINE, THEY JUST DON'T LOOK AS LITTLE MAC-Y. There was also this hipster Little Mac with these hipster glasses... except he was actually pretty fit, too. :B
/pointless stories from Katsu
I actually wore these big hipster glasses while cosplaying, too, idk what I'm talking about. I'M A LITTLE BLIND... orz
UH YEAH, that's all I've got for you. :^D I'M GONNA GO GET SOME FOOD NOW, BYE! *u*b
Hey, guys! Happy couple days after thanksgiving, for you American people! :^D And happy Sunday for everyone else, I guess. It's weekly-ish sketch and stuff dump time! 8D
I'm still going through a Gabe crisis. Idk what's up with his face, it just all feels all off balance. ;u; I think I've been drawing his chin too big, or something. I had that problem last year, too... so maybe if I work on fixing his chin, everything else will be okay. -u-;
Stefan thinks he's so cool, and he's so wrong.
TRYING TO PRACTICE GABE'S HAIR! I figured out some stuff on how to draw his normal hairstyle, which is good... and then I drew him in his short hairstyle, because why not. I sometimes feel bad for Gabe, because the short hairstyle is probably what I was actually going for when I first designed him, but just didn't know how to draw it. And now he's stuck with this hilarious spiky-fwoosh hairstyle, instead. OH WELL, GABE, OH WELL...
There are times when I actually like Gabe's hairstyle, but now is not one of those times. :V
I haven't drawn Noland in a while, so here's a doodle thing. Noland sometimes reads during his lunch break. :m I also kind of imagine the high school he works at to look like my high school, because it's the only high school I know. -u-b Fun Fact!: Don't smoke on school grounds, Noland, it's against the rules.
/not actually a fun fact
I always want to do a full drawing of Noland, but every time I start one, I end up hating it. orz Noland is really fun for me to doodle, but doing detailed drawings of him just doesn't work for me. ;u;
My sis bought the new Smash Bros game, so I got to play that this weekend. *u* Little Mac is really fun to play (a-and I just think muscle boys in shorts are cool, okay), but his recovery is SO BAD HHGHH. Horrible. I try to avoid edges as much as possible with Mac. orz
I feel like I draw his face cuter than it is in the game, though. Nintendo gave him like the WACKIEST EXPRESSIONS POSSIBLE... OR SOMETHING.
Still sad that Roy's not back in the game, though I knew they wouldn't bring him back. "orz ROY... MY BOY... IF THEY'RE BRINGING BACK MEWTWO AS DLC, THEY SHOULD DO THE SAME FOR ROY AAAAAGHGHGHDKLSKFJAF yeah.
...SO YEAH, gotta go do work now. Thanks for reading, bro! :V
