Secret Santa 2017 Wishlist
IT'S TIME!!!! to make my wishlist. I feel like I'm really late with it this year, sorry;;; ANYWAY hello Secret Santa!!! Here's what I would like art of!! It's mostly OCs, sorry about that;;
Original Characters
Here are links to profiles of my favorites:
If you're up for drawing pairs, Stefan and Gabe are dating and Lafayette and Dmitri are really close friends. :D
Also if you aren't interested in any of the characters above you can browse my character weebly page for any character you'd rather draw~ The rest of the options are stuff from animes/etc. My OCs are my favorites, but I like the following characters too!
Mob Psycho 100
Ping Pong: The Animation
You can draw these two either individually or together, either is fine~
Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun
Super Smash Bros
You can draw them individually or together! If you want you can also make up outfits for them and draw them in casual clothes if you don't feel like drawing all their armor and stuff. ;0
And that's everything!! Hope you find something you want to draw, and thank you for this!! Happy holidays~~~ ♥
Blab
HEY what's up to whoever is here, sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been apprehensive about posting to theO because a lot of my images in my world are broken now (PHOTOBUCKET WHY) and using img links from tumblr isn't always permanent (UGHGU...Answered OC Questions
AH wow I'm super late on answering those OC questions. HERE THEY ARE NOW, I GUESS!
The first ones are from XxArrancarFanxX, for Lafayette!
5. On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets?
HMM.... not sure. He doesn't carry a purse, so probably just a wallet + phone + headphones, just typical stuff ahah. SORRY FOR THE BORING ANSWER RIGHT OFF THE BAT. I'm trying to think of what he'd carry related to his interests, but his acting/singing hobby doesn't really require any props... when he's older he may sometimes carry cigarettes in his pocket I guess. :u
10. Does your character feel more comfortable with more clothing, or with less clothing?
Despite what I draw him in (especially when he's older), I wanna say Lafayette's more comfortable with more clothing rather than less. :0 I think Lafayette has kind of an interesting relationship (?) with clothing and his body, so I drew some quick notes on the do's and don'ts for Lafayette in terms of clothing/modesty:
There are exceptions here and there to these notes depending on setting, but yeah. As a general rule, I think he likes showing off his legs but tends to be a little more modest with his upper body (namely his arms).
18. Is your character more likely to admire wisdom, or ambition in others?
Lafayette almost never admires anything in anyone (he tends not to think highly of anyone other than himself), but....!!! I'd say ambition. For instance one of his favorite albums is The Family Jewels by Marina and the Diamonds (one of the few people he admires AHAH;;), which has ambition and reaching for success as one of overarching themes of the album. I guess ambitious celebrities/people/characters/themes appeal to him because they reflect his own ideals for success.
I think Lafayette's also kind of fascinated with the negative side/consequences of being overly ambitious, he probably romanticizes that side of ambition more than he should. Idk if that makes any sense, ahah;;; I'm talking about the kinds of people/characters in songs like Numb by Marina and the Diamonds or Big Girls Cry by Sia. UNBEKNOWNST TO HIS HIGH SCHOOL SELF, he gets a lot closer to this kind of "tragically ambitious" (?) character than he expects to when he's an adult, ahah;;;
SORRY FOR THE LONG ANSWER... I don't think he really cares much about wisdom. Like, Dmitri is somewhat "wise" I guess compared to Lafayette and Lafayette respects him, but Laf definitely doesn't admire him for his wisdom.
35. How does your character behave around people they like?
This is kind of difficult because he doesn't usually have much of an opinion on other people, ahah;; Lafayette is loud and pompous around everyone, but I guess if he actually cares about you he'll be marginally more subdued than usual. He's still not really all that courteous even to people he likes, though.
36. How does your character behave around people they dislike?
Like the previous question, Lafayette's still loud and pompous around everyone, even people he dislikes... I don't know if he'd be more likely to outwardly say his negative opinions on a person if he dislikes them, he kind of says exactly what he thinks about people all the time (even the people he likes). I guess he gets a little more sarcastic and curt around people he doesn't like... His rudeness can come off as a joke even when he's being serious though, so it's not always obvious when he dislikes someone.
The next questions are from Keba Si Rota, for Noland!
13. Is your character bothered by the sight of blood? If so, in what way?
Hmm I've never really thought about this before! Probably because none of my stories really have violence in them, ahah;; I wanna say he's probably a bit more on the squeamish-around-blood side, I can't imagine that he likes gory movies or anything. I don't know if he'd faint or anything at the sight of blood, but he'd probably get woozy seeing someone bleeding a lot... idk Noland tends to subconsciously empathize with people in this regard, like he cries when he sees someone crying and would probably vomit if he saw someone vomit. Idk if there's a word for that, but he has that kind of reaction to things like that. (???? sorry if my phrasing doesn't make sense ahaha;;)
26. How does your character behave around children?
Noland's not particularly comfortable around children because he's just really shy, but he tries to be as honest and friendly as he can be with children.... he usually just lets kids talk when he's around them, and asking them questions now and then so he doesn't have to say much himself, ahaha. Because he's honest and listens to what kids say, kids are actually pretty comfortable around him (much to his surprise ahaha).
Thanks for the questions both of you!! :^D Hope my answers are interesting enough, ahaha;; And if anyone for some reason has any other OC questions I'd be glad to answer them.... :^)
Ask me OC questions??
Edit: Thanks to those of you who commented so far! :^D I'll try to make the answer post on Monday~
I have to go in two seconds, but I thought I'd post this real quick! I saw this fun list of OC questions on tumblr, so I thought it'd be fun to share it here too~ :0
Anyway if you're interested, feel free to comment with a number/numbers and one/some of my ocs, and I'll answer the questions in a later post! Idk if anyone will do this but idk I'll just post this anyway. B)

officially graduated / update
Mood: conflicted
Hey guys! I haven't made an update in a while, so here I am. :^0 I'll try to be fairly quick (mainly because I have to leave the house in an hour, haha;;;)
First off, I had my graduation ceremony last weekend!
Nice. A true graduated friend. I'm taking grad-level classes at a college close to home in fall and spring, so I'm not actually done yet... but like idk I still have to think about job stuff which is BOTHERSOME but...!!! that's for a different post.
Oh, I also recently learned why all my fan art posts have been doing so poorly on tumblr (which I whined about over here a couple months ago). Apparently tumblr makes posts unsearchable if they have external links in the description (which mine did), so a ton of my stuff has just not been going through tumblr's search engine. People posted about a loophole to the system which I'm doing now, and now my note count has gone back up, which is the way it was before I started putting my store link in the description.
SO!!!! THAT'S GOOD... it's been super frustrating drawing fan art that no one would see because like I said in the other post, I mostly draw fan art for other people rather than myself. :u (OCs are entirely for me tho I don't care as much if my oc stuff doesn't get any notes.)
I just wish I knew about this issue earlier... the last couple months have been frustrating art-wise because I've been focusing on so much fan art for Otakon, so the lack of me drawing my OCs + the low number of notes on any fan art I'd post was just really draining on my art confidence. WHEN OTAKON PREP IS DONE, YOU CAN BET... I'M GOING TO DRAW 1075720802349 DOODLES OF MY OCS.
but yeah that's that. OH! I also got new stickers in the mail yesterday!!
I haven't posted the art for these to theOtaku yet because I'm trying to come up with something special for my 400th picture (which might just end up being something simple, idk yet).
I'm actually a little disappointed with the stickers... I ordered from this place I've never ordered from before (stickittomestickers) because they were cheap and printed on vinyl, but the biggest issue is that the white parts for some reason didn't print as clean white (ie: no ink) and instead printed with this slightly grainy quality.... :< It's not noticeable from a distance or in these photos, and honestly I don't think anyone will care as long as they don't have anything to compare it to..... BUT!!!! IT'S STILL REALLY FRUSTRATING.... I just don't understand why it was printed like this. I might email the person I ordered these from about the print quality, but I'm also nervous;;; I don't want to seem like I'm complaining because this person runs the whole sticker printing herself so.... idk.
Anyway here's a small pros and cons list for stickittomestickers's stickers:
pros
*very affordable
*vinyl instead of label paper so they're glossier than my old stickers
*waterproof
*longer lasting
*fairly low minimum order quantity (25)
cons
*white spots turned out grainy.....
*colors are a bit dark
*corners of sheets got a little bent in the mail (not a big deal for me because I'm cutting them out)
Anyway, that's that. SIGH. I keep trying to tell myself the grainy thing isn't a big deal, but I just keep thinking... what if it wasn't grainy...................... yeah I'm gonna email about this to see if I can somehow get a reprint, idk.
SO YEP. That's what's goin on over in Akiohville. :^U I feel like all I talk about these days is merch prep, sorry;;; that's basically the only exciting thing going on with me, so... yeah. I guess I've also been playing persona 5, too. Maybe I'll talk a little about my thoughts on the game once I finish! Idk who'd be interested in reading that but whatever why not. xD
THANKS FOR READING, I'll try to post some stuff to my doodle world tonight!!
