Quote of the Week: You do you and I'll do me and we're not gonna do each other.
- Created By art4life
OC Character Profile: Nissia
Name: Nissa
Height: 5'6"
Age: 16
Hair: Short, light brown
Eyes: pale green
Personality: Shy, quiet, more talkative around friends, cautious, forgiving, self-conscious, gentle, willing to do whatever is necessary to achieve something important, understanding, nervous
Enemies See Her As Being: Strange/Surprising
Friends See Her As Being: cute/ kind to the point of being irrational
Specialty: Metal-doesn't like weapons or fighting, but can control and change the shape of any metal that isn't moving. Meaning that if she has some metal bullets she can meld them together or launch them at someone without touching them. But if they are being fired at her, then she can't control them and will have to either block or dodge.
Relationship to Dez: CLOSE friends, like practically stuck together. He calls her Iss. She can always be counted on to pull him away from a fight before he does too much damage. He doesn't see why she pulls him away when his opponent is a real scumbag( really did some bad things). No matter what the bad guy did she doesn't get mad and doesn't see how Dez can be so bloodthirsty towards them.
Extra: loves listening to music. Usually dresses in earth tones or pastel colors. Not as strong a fighter as Dez but still good enough to easily defeat most opponents.
Before starting a fight, even if she is already being attacked, Nissa will first apologize for the injuries she is about to inflict on that person. Dez will often tell her she's just wasting time, to which she replies, " Not everyone is as cold hearted as you >:( ".
**** I'm going to draw these characters soon so you can see what they look like. I'm currently drawing one that I haven't revealed yet (her name is Lainey). I didn't do the profile for her because I haven't got all the details yet but I drew her anyways because she's my favorite one to draw. Didn't get to finish today, so probably tomorrow.
I don't usually draw guys, so Dez is hard to draw. I can't get the hair or the eyes right. (*`Д´)ノ!!! So Frustrating! Bwarg!
Anyways.... I need to calm down.... I'll draw Iss when I'm done with Lainey so you can see what this shy girl looks like. :)
Book List
Currently Reading:
The Promise of Amazing by Robin Constantine - fiction/romance
Last Read:
The Young Elites by Marie Lu (1st book in series) - fantasy/action/romance
Very good book - as expected of Lu Sensei. Takes place on a planet very much like Earth in the 1300s. After a pandemic certain children who got ill develop special powers and are now discriminated against. They can be identified by "markings" (strange hair/eye color, markings on skin).
The main character is very interesting because she has a dark side that can be hard to control.
Recommended to those who enjoy books with kings and queens, really unique characters, a bit of a psychological element, and a little sadness. Can't wait for next book in this series
Wish List:
- Lullaby by Amanda Hocking (2nd book in Wake series)
- The One by Kiera Cass
- Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi
- Strange and Ever After by Susan Dennard
- Paper Towns by John Green
- Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
did someone really name their child Rainbow?
OC Character Profile
Name: Dez (can't think of a last name, names aren't my specialty, sorry~)
Hair: Dark Brown and short
Eyes: Purple
Height: 6'
Age: 16
Personality: Usually very stoic and sarcastic. Doesn't smile or laugh often. Doesn't let emotions cloud his judgement. Always the calm one in bad situations. Blunt/Straightforward. Reliable. When he does show emotion - can become very possessive and out of control
Enemies Think of Him as Being: Fearsome/Murderous
Friends Think of Him as Being: Different (in a good way?)
Speciality: Genius - can find a way out of any problem, observant, above average intelligence. Combat - Doesn't favor a specific weapon and is known for his fighting ability.
Extra: People often underestimate him because of his age or appearance (he looks like a normal boy), so he enjoys beating them up proving them wrong.
The most notorious and powerful man to ever live was given the title of King of Death. Dez defeated him, and therefore, won the title for himself. ( although he had to use a little trickery- even Dez couldn't defeat the original King of Death by himself) Now all the King 's "subjects" (he wasn't an actual king but he had subordinates) loyally follow Dez.
I haven't completely thought of how his story will go, but I have an idea of who some of the other characters will be. :)
More Content
I looked on my profile and realized that I only submit fan art every couple of weeks. For some reason I thought I submitted more frequently than this so it kind of surprised me.
So I want to submit more often. I'm a slow drawer so I definitely wouldn't be able to submit something everyday. The plan was to do several drawings this evening, but, good gravy, that Chiyuki drawing took forever and it's not even that good. And now I'm tired.
I think the only chance I have of making good digital art is to do the lineart and shadow first in pencil, so that's what I did.
Drawing more will also be good, because I need some new bookmarks anyway. Just so you know, some of the drawings I do are done on index cards so I can use them as bookmarks in the various books I'm always reading. The drawings I did of Kaneki, Kakashi, Nel, and Toki are all bookmarks. I always get complimented on them when people at school see them and ask if I drew them. It's very pleasant.

Not Busy + Epiphany?
It's Tuesday again. Sometimes Tuesday feels like the new Friday to me.
Much to my surprise and delight, lately I've had almost zero homework so I don't have a lot of work taking up my time. And I'm not doing any clubs this quarter ( for reasons) so I have a lot more free time after school.
At the same time I feel like I'm falling behind the students who do do clubs/sports because I know colleges like that. I think it would be good if I wrote some more stories. My parents are encouraging me to try to get my stories published in a magazine or something and I think that would be as good as doing a club/sport.
But, I seem to be lacking ambition lately. Or maybe I always lacked it but never felt like I needed it before. I used to think I wanted to somehow get rich when I'm older; maybe create something new. Now I'm thinking I'll be content as long as I don't have to sit in an office all day but can still make enough money to have the free time to do what I like. Not that I actually have any idea of what I want to be. I'd probably say author of I had to choose, but I don't actually write anything. I just imagine little pieces of different stories. I've thought up so many characters but never gone anywhere with them.
And I don't have any confidence that I can write something really good. Which, when I think about it... is kinda strange? I mean it's not like I grew up being told I can't do anything. I get good grades and I learn how to do things quickly so people actually tell me I'm smart.
I guess it's that shy thing again.
But somehow, realizing this now, that my lack of confidence seems kind of illogical to me, makes me feel better still not motivated though
I've tried writing things down to make myself feel better before, but this is the first time it worked.
I think I'll try something to get myself started:
I was wondering lately (for reasons), what motivates me to post in this world every Tuesday and Friday like I said I would? Why am I consistent with this but not other things?
I think I found the answer-- it's because I told you guys I would. I'm aware that you may have forgotten that I said I'll post here every Tuesday and Friday, but I still really feel like I have to our I'll disappoint you or make myself seem untrustworthy. ( please don't say that I don't have to feel obligated to do this or something, because that may ruin my whole resolve. )
This is probably also part of the reason that I always do my homework even if I procrastinate. Everyone expects it of me so I have to do it. Anything less would be a disappointment.
I don't always keep a promise I make to myself, but I keep promises I make to other people.
This is a long post. Are you still reading? I'm going to start small: My next Tuesday post will be a character profile of my favorite OC
Operation 'Finally Begin Doing Something With My Life' Commence! <--- This is me trying to be less shy. I'll probably regret it right after I hit the publish button
