Secret Santa 2013 Wishlist

Mood: Grumpy
Currently working on: MY ESSAY.

WHOA, IS IT ALREADY DECEMBER? How did that happen. Anyway, here's my SS Wishlist! :D This'll probably be in order of preference, but don't feel obligated to chose the first thing on the list. I like all of these things! C:

1) Any of my OCs, who you can find in my Various Planning world, but my favorites right now are probably Stefan and Gabe. (You can read their shorter character profiles here and here.) I also like stuff with really stupid and corny romance between them... haha;; But if bl isn't your thing, you can draw one of them individually, or draw them together in a non-romantic way. 8D If you draw one of them, I'd probably maybe prefer Gabe over Stefan...? Mostly because I haven't gotten a lot of fan art of Gabe. (Probably since his hair is so weird...) I really like Stefan too, so if you draw him by himself, that'll be cool too. :D (But I'd much prefer a drawing of the two of them together, even if it's not romantic. ;u;)

2) I remembered that Star Trek is a thing that I like, so maybe Spock, Kirk, and McCoy? You don't have to draw all three of them togther, but LOOK, THEY WERE SUCH BEST FRIENDS!! If you don't want to draw all three of them, I'd prefer Kirk and Spock, or any of the three individually. Oh, and I like the TOS actors over the reboot actors... so if you draw Kirk, can you draw him with Shatner's hairstyle instead of Chris Pine's hairstyle? Yeah.
S-SORRY FOR ALL THE WEIRD SPECIFICS GAAAHHH!!!
Also I'm kind of a fan of k/s just gonna put that out there.
...Yeah. :M

3) I also remembered that Tiger and Bunny is another thing I like, so if you drew Barnaby and Kotetsu, that'd be wicked cool too. :D I also think Barnaby is pretty cool without his jacket. And his glasses.
Even though I'm saying lots about Barnaby, Kotetsu's actually my favorite. So if you were to draw just one of them, I'd prefer Kotetsu. But Barnaby's a close second, so I wouldn't be disappointed if you drew him, either. :D
(I-I really like these guys because they're pretty much Stefan and Gabe in disguise...)

4) Basil from Harvest Moon: Magical Melody/Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town!
Yep.
Yep yep.

5) And lastly, the ever obligatory Marth and Roy request! I still like these guys. xD If you draw them in armor, I like Marth's SSBB design and Roy's SSBM design best. (Those are the outfits I linked to.) If that doesn't work for you, you can draw them in those school uniforms I used to always draw them in. Or even cuter, come up with some cool casual clothes yourself for them to wear!! :DDD
If you only want to draw one person, then I'd prefer Roy over Marth. ;o Because Roy's our boy, rite? Rite.

...OKAY, THAT'S MY WISHLIST! It's been a while since I've done one of these, so I hope there are enough options. xD; Or not too many... Sorry for the lack of girl options, too. .u.;;; Anyway, I hope one of these options interests you! Thanks you in advance, Secret Santa!!! :D

I'VE BEEN DISCOVERED.

Mood: Procrastination-y.....?
Currently working on: NAH-THING. WHY.

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I always think of things to post about, but then I forget, and then I don't post...
Hm.

Anyways, I guess I'll share with you a story now. So the other day while hangin' with that one girl, another friend on our floor came over to hang with us ~*~cool kids~*~. (??) Somehow the three of us got to talking about hobbies, so I pulled up my theO portfolio on her computer, and showed her some OFAV.
Which was QUITE THE EMBARRASSING, but you know. >3> I was reading them out loud at first, but that was just weird. OFAV is not meant to be read out loud. It just sounds weird, otherwise... I stopped before I got to TB's voice. H-how would I even rendition his supposed french accent..?
But anyways.
I went to bed after that, but STUPID ME FORGOT TO LOG OUT OR CLOSE THE PAGE OR SOMETHING... So she read my other comics and now she knows how to find my comics.
:D
GAAAAH!
REAL PEOPLE ENTER MY FORMERLY SECRET SANCTUARY THAT IS THEO.... ;u; she said she liked them, but STILL Haha, I feel like I have no privacy now. xD Not that I really had any privacy in the first place, since all of you people read my comics anyway...

But enough of that. What a pointless story. :D IT'S WHAT I DO.
;D

I want to draw more comics, though. I need to update OFAV. Gaaaah. Gaaaaaaah. ""orz But I have to study for philosophy instead, so I'll do that now. HAVE A NICE LIFE, FOLKS! :D

Things I want to do

Mood: Bored
Recently Added: Kasey Girl

The other day, I got strangely inspired to start A Life Like This up again. Idk why, but I got inspired to keep writing it. I've been into OFAV lately, but I always get frustrated with the OFAV cast because they're more like caricatures of people than people themselves. (It's comedy, so thing get exaggerated I guess.) A Life Like This is a little easier on me mentally because... I don't know, it feels less whacky somehow and more level headed as a story. (MAKES NO SENSE, BUT...) I do want to see the story all the way through, one day. :V And I've also been thinking that it'd be really cute if I put little sketches within the pages of text of things going on in the story... of course, I wouldn't be able to upload it to theO like that, but oh well. And anyway, I'm getting off topic.

The main problem with my continuance of A Life Like This is that it really really needs revising. Revising is my biggest problem with writing because I hate looking back at the mistakes I made. GAH. MAKES ME CRINGE! And because I don't revise often, I don't get more confident with my writing. ;u; AHEH. But anyway, I pretty much want to give the current chapters a face lift, and work for there. Hopefully after the writing feels like it flows better, I can get more organized with the direction I want to go with the story.

Another problem is Dare's aspect of the story. To be completely honest, I have almost no desire to write a "band story." Right now Dare's storyline is intended to follow the structure of band forms, band gets noticed, band gets famous, band travels places, some sort of conflicts within happen, some sort of resolution. It's very straightforward, kind of unrealistic, and different in feeling or tone or something than Rick and Tim's story. The unrealistic aspect isn't my biggest concern, but I worry about making it fit the tone of the rest of the storylines. Moreover, I have difficulty fitting in Rick and especially Loyal. I really hope I figure some things out with Dare's story... I'd hate for it to just go around in circles. BAH.

But anyway, I'm rambling. xD; The title of this post is "Things I Want To Do." So here's some things I guess:

• Continue and revise A Life Like This
• Revise I Was a Boy, Too
• Finish Cellphones and Surreptitiousness (only one page left for me to draw!)
• Draw/write some College Stef and College Noland
• Work on the alt. universe Stef and Gabe for that challenge-thing

By the way, now that I'm in college I feel compelled to think about and draw College Stefan. I-I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE I'M ENTERING THE AGE OF THE BEGINNING OF STEFAN'S STORY... GAaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahhah. ""orz This is a mix of crying (for I am older and will probably have a harder time relating to my high school characters) and laughing (because now I can relate somewhat better with college Stef and college Noland.)

Speaking of Noland, I've been really into drawing him lately! even though he's never consistent So if you see him popping up a lot in Various Planning, don't be surprised. IT'S BECAUSE I'M IN COLLEGE, AND HE WAS IN COLLEGE, AND STEFAN WAS IN COLLEGE... COLLEGE! I've been thinking a lot about Stefan and Noland's relationship, and I think they would've made a nice couple. :V OH WELL, NOLAND'S FAULT! or mine, technically Idk what I'm even talking about anymore.

IN CONCLUSION, I need to sleep. -u-b If I have time, I'll upload those comic pages. My mom helped me figure out the printer. 8D As in, she did everything... But yeah. Good night, have a good week! :)

This is a thing that happened

Mood: PRETTY DECE!

WHO'S THAT COLLEGE DORM NEIGHBOR?!

IT'S KEYBLADEMEWKASA!!!!

Yeah okay so. If you didn't already read Kasa's world post, she and I are neighbors on our floor at our college. I don't know how that happened. I don't... I didn't think that could even happen in the real world. xD PRETTY CRAY-ZAY, YO... But hey! I was totally fantasizing before I came to college, thinking "What if my roommate is someone from theO...?" And while that didn't quite happen exactly, it was pretty close. :V
BUT YEAH. TOTES COOL AND STUFF. 8D

Oh, I had my first day of classes today! c: Today I had Japanese 201 (which I have to audit. Baahh. :T), Intro to Geology, and 2-D Fundamentals in Art. I'm kind of worried about Japanese because I'm not sure how well my high school Japanese courses prepared me for college Japanese... and what seems like everyone in the class is at least a year older than me. xD;;;; BUT I'm hoping it'll be okay. I don't have any homework in Art yet, but the syllabus says I need 6 studio hours per week. Hope I can manage to do that when the homework and projects start up. .u.

On another note, I can't figure out my printer for the life of me. "orz S-SORRY... I'm going home this weekend for labor day, so I'll be able to scan those remaining comic pages then, I think. YEP!

And that's all. HAVE A GREAT WEDNESDAY! it feels so weird to post in the middle of the week like this whaaaaat

CAWLEDGE.

Mood: Beh.

Hey guys! I'm in college! I've moved into my dorm, and figured out the internet, so... yeah! Now I can finally tell you about college stuff. I'm still going to be pretty busy until like, Thursday, because freshman orientation is REALLY LONG WHAT THE HECK I HAD NO IDEA.

So yeah. I have to follow a schedule until Tuesday or Wednesday, so I don't have a lot of free time to come on here to keep you updated. :T Sorry about that. I want to draw and stuff, but since I don't really have much down time, I can't do that... Oh, but I do have the next two pages of that one SteGabe comic sketched out, so if I can hook up my scanner I can probably post them tonight. (I hate doing late night posts, but what can you do... ""orz) There's only one page after the next two. I wanted to upload all three together, but I want to at least post something pretty soon. ;3; The last page can wait, I guess.

Anyway, college is pretty much weird. Right now it feels more like camp because I'm being toted around with a group of girls from my dorm from place to place. BUT WHATEVZ... I think once orientation is done I'll be able to settle in a little easier.

Ummmm.... what else was I going to say. OH. I have SAI on my laptop here, but I didn't copy the settings I had for the brushes and things from my desktop version of SAI. So I'm not quite as comfortable coloring digitally here as I was back at home. THEREFORE, I may be slow to update digitally. I brought my traditional supplies though, so yepppp.

Anyway, I'm probably going to go to bed soon. orz After I upload those pages. YAY! Actually, I can't figure out the printer so I'll do that later.

HAVE A NICE REST OF SUMMER, IF YOU'RE STILL ON BREAK!
HAPPY SCHOOL YEAR TO THE REST OF YOU!
AND HAPPY LIFE TO THOSE OF YOU WHO ALREADY GRADUATED/ETC! :V
