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.

Pose Practice 2

This wasn't going to be a sequel to this post (because honestly, I forgot about it), but my computer told me I already had something titled "Pose Practice." So I guess this is Pose Practice part TWO.

I've been doing GaiaOnline freebies for people where they send me a reference pic, and I draw their chara/avi in their underwear/bathing suit using that pose. (I figured drawing people without a lot of clothing would be better for me to practice the pose and body.) It's been pretty fun! I wanted to do this 'cause I thought it'd help me get more comfortable with different poses. :V I know life drawings are better for this, but WHATEVER, I'MMA JUST USE PHOTO REFS FOR NOW.
Anyway, here's the ones I've done so far:

(for .~[Misty.Muffin]~., ref used)
I felt like the arms were good practice for this one, since I don't draw arms in that position very often. :V I feel like the face angle in a lot of these, though, was the more difficult thing for me to do, ahah;;

(for MomoShino, ref used)
BACKS. backs are weird.

(for Syrionia, ref used)
THIS ONE! I really like how it came out, for some reason. I think I just like how the head looks, 'cause I hardly ever draw heads tilted that much. (?? idk) It was a fun pose, haha. :D

(for Lea_Suki, ref used)
Eh. Wasn't crazy about this one.

(for Ranma-kun, ref used
IDK WHY THE PERSPECTIVE ON THIS WAS SO HARD, THERE WAS BARELY ANY AT ALL...!!! Maybe I just don't draw people lying down often enough, hahaha.

(for maikaymon, ref used
I thought this pose was cute, haha. :^D

(for Trust Your Story, ref used)
The person who requested this sent me a pic of the undergarments (?) they wanted drawn on their character, but I don't have the link anymore;;; JEWELS EVERYWHERE!

(for Calen Arkadys, ref used)
PERSPECTIVE STRIKES AGAIN!!!! I kind of cheated and used the warp tool on the image, after I did all I could on my own. orz I REALLY NEED TO PRACTICE PERSPECTIVE.

(for Coitus Interuptus, ref used)
Hope this one isn't too steamy for theO, whoop;;; IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE CUTE, NOT SEXY, IMO... I like how it came out, though. :^D

(for phiphty, ref used)
Last one! This one was kind of weird 'cause the dude in the ref was wearing so much clothing, I felt like I had to kind of make up stuff;;; (HORRIBLE) I like how most of it looks, except the leg on the right. BUT OTHER THAN THAT! NICE.

So yeah! There's those.
By the way, if you want to request anything like this, you can, too! :V Just send me a pm or comment here with

• the character you want drawn,
• the pose reference, and
• ref of underwear/bathing suit you want your character to be wearing (optional)

So yeah! There's that. Not sure how quickly I'll get them done since I'm trying to do cosplay stuff for the next two weeks. xD;
Anyway, thanks for viewing!

Pose Practice

Happy Halloween, everyone! :D I don't have a costume this year, unfortunately... but oh well. I don't have time to trick or treat or anything this year, anyway. (Or maybe I do, idk. xD;)
But enough about that.

After some adventures on Gaia, I've decided I need to practice drawing poses. I have a bad habit of not using references... >u> I don't like to use tons of references for completed pictures because then it feels like I just copied it... but I've come to the conclusion that practicing drawing poses from references will help me become more comfortable with anatomy and whatnot! 8D
/obvious conclusion
So here are some sketches I've done from references:

I can't find all the reference pictures I used for this... but I drew these from Star Trek TOS screenshots. Though I think I used this for the drawing of Spock's face and maybe this for Kirk's face. REAL PEOPLE ARE NOT EASY TO DRAW! 8D;
I really want to draw some Star Trek TOS fan art, but idk if I'll ever get around to it. ;u; Maybe some day. Hopefully. xD;

I wrote "posemaniacs studies", but I didn't actually use Posemaniacs. xD; It didn't work on my phone. :M I like how the one of Stefan standing and looking to the right looks. :D But collared shirts are a bother... I think I just don't like drawing buttons. Gah.
I can't find all of the references I used for this, either, but here's some of them. And this might've been used for the Stefan-Face picture, but I'm not sure.

"Younger years" doesn't mean anything, by the way. I just wrote it there so I don't forget it. And yeah, Gabe doesn't play guitar... but he looks cool with one, right? 8D Haha... ha. xD;
Anyway, here's Gabe's references: They're all Mark McGrath, because why not. xD AND LOOK, I HAD ALL OF THEM! They were easier to find because I remembered what I searched in google.
I didn't use a reference for the last one, but I just liked how it came out, so... :Y The mess of lyrics comes from this song.

And... yeah, that's what I have. :D I also have some non-related Tomato sketches that I drew the other day, so I might upload those later or soonish. Oh, and I'm working on a colored picture of Noland, which is taking a while... all I have to do now is the background, which is going to be fun. 8D; AHEH.

Oh, and I might break tradition and not have my 300th picture be a thank you. ;m; I really want it to be a thank you, but I haven't thought of anything or started the thank you picture yet... And I'm drawing other stuff, too. I WILL DO A THANK YOU PICTURE, but it won't be my 300th picture. Probably. I still need to think on that.

Anyway, have a nice Halloween! :)
