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!

Mostly Gabe, but also some other stuff.

YO. It's me, back with another dump of drawings and stuff from the past week or so. 8D Since I've been going through a Gabe crisis these past couple weeks, I decided to draw a lot of him until I understood how to draw him again. And now I do! So that's good. I probably forgot how to draw everyone else, though... -u-

Anyway, yeah. Stuff.

This is one of the characters in Nerdy and Jock. His name is Matthew Brodney III, but pretty much everyone calls him Brodney. Jack sometimes calls him Matt. He's briefly appeared in a couple of the strips, like the ones here and here.
LET ME TELL YOU, BRO, THIS DUDE IS ONE SWELL GUY. I actually really like Brodney a lot because he's just... JUST... SUCH A PURE SOUL...!! EVERYONE LOVES BRODNEY IN NERDY AND JOCK BECAUSE HE'S SUCH A TRUE FRIEND TO EVERYONE...
Sometime I want to make a big long post about all the Nerdy and Jock characters. There are quite a few! Brodney and Dmitri are two characters in particular who I think would be fun to talk about. But I guess I should actually just make Nerdy and Jock strips with all the characters in them, instead of FANTASIZE ABOUT MY CHARACTERS ALL THE TIME WITHOUT ACTUALLY DOING ANYTHING.
Someday, I'll sit down and do a bunch of Nerdy and Jock strips and introduce all the characters to y'all. Someday.

Sketchin' Gabe to get back into the habit of drawing him. :V I think I just needed to draw his muscles more round-y and less jagged-y than I had been, as far as his body shape goes. Yeah.

I took an old sketch of Noland and colored it for coloring practice. :^D I've been working with soft shading these days! I can do it pretty simply without much trouble, but I haven't really gotten a grasp on blending colors and all that fancy jazz. Oh well, this works for me for the time being.
This is also like the only picture of Noland where I actually like how I colored his hair. o____o IT WAS QUITE SHOCKING, FOR ME....

Aaaa lack of shirt, aaaa. /obligatory shock
I mean, he's wearing pants, so... IT'S NOT TOO BAD FOR Y'ALL, IS IT...?
I actually changed some things in the original sketch of this because the more I stared at this version, the less I liked it... For the most part, Gabe looks pretty decent here. His head's a little bigger than it's supposed to be, though.
I drew this because I was thinking about how if Gabe had an instagram or whatever, it'd probably just be a bunch of shirtless selfies of himself. Not that this is a selfie or anything, but yeah. Shirtless.
Hughbghgugh. -u-

I took a doodle I did on paper and lined it to see if I still knew how to do line art with the pen tool in SAI. >:V The line art came out pretty decent, but I've decided that I should consistently start doing cell shading with solid line art, and soft shading with brush tool line art/sketch "line art". Idk, soft shading just looks kinda funky with this bold, solid line art. YEAH! 8D

This was technically a Christmas present for one of my friends because she likes Stefan and Gabe, but it's also... kinda... for me, because.... SteGabe......
I had a lot of fun drawing it, haha. 8D Kinda don't like how Stefan's face came out, but GABE! HE CAME OUT PRETTY NICE HERE! Since I had been having trouble with his hair, I was considering changing his hairstyle to look like the shorter hairstyle he gets when he's older... but when I finished this, I was like "NAH, THIS LAME DUDE'S GONNA KEEP HIS STUPID HAIR BECAUSE IT'S JUST HOW HIS HAIR IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK."
Yeah.
The worries and troubles I go through for the sake of your hair, Gabe....

I remember the days I felt embarrassed for posting Stefan and Gabe fluff. Those days, clearly, are no more.
Anyway, yeah, here's some corny romance with these two dudes. I've been drawing Stefan as pretty romantic these days. :V I think it's probably to make up for the times I had drawn him being aversive toward Gabe from like... 2010 to 2012. Stefan isn't very keen on PDA and would probably scold Gabe if he tries to be too lovey-dovey in public places... But idk, in private I think Stefan would be all about that kanoodling life.
/what is this description

Aaaaand... yep. HAPPY ALMOST WINTER BREAK FOR ME!! 8D Next Wednesday, I'll be done with classes. WOO.

Bathing suit doodles, 'cause why not.

I... mostly did these because I wanted to draw Gabe in stupid swim shorts PRACTICE DRAWING GABE'S BODILY PROPORTIONS.... and then I threw some other people in there for the sake of a fun swimsuit time. :^D

I DON'T REALLY MENTION IT, but Kasey and Gabe are actually total bros! 8D Or bro and sis. Or besties. IDK, I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO SAY BESTIES, SO I WENT WITH BROS EVEN THOUGH KASEY'S A GIRL. They like to geek out over hot celebs and sing trashy pop music together. (???) Yeah, idk.
I actually have a comic idea about Jo, Gabe, and Kasey living together when they first move to France, and how Kasey and Gabe become friends. Gabe's actually a pretty big butthole in that story, but I think it'd be an interesting thing for me to draw, someday. :V
Kasey always wears fun clothes. I should design stuff for her more often. :m

I have no idea what this dialogue is, or even how I was supposed to write it. I-I DON'T REALLY TALK TO PEOPLE ABOUT ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE. HOW IS IT DONE? WHAT IS CONSIDERED ETHICAL AND UNETHICAL? ENLIGHTEN ME.....
As Kasey and Gabe are pretty close, Stefan and Jo are actually decent friends, as well. He considers her more or less the most level headed person out of the OFAV group, excluding maybe Dean. Jo was actually the one who got Kasey and Gabe their jobs with Tomato and Stefan, by the way. :^D

Idk how to draw Jo's face anymore. -u-b And I don't really have anything else to say about this doodle. Meh. :^D

I MEAN, WHY NOT DRAW NOLAND IN STUPID SHORTS, TOO... Aha, yeah. While I do think Gabe would seriously wear stupidly short swim shorts, Noland would probably wear knee-ish length swim trunks and some sort of swim shirt or jacket. (Do swimming jackets exist? ...??? Idk.)
On a side note, Prue is so hard for me to draw without thinking of her as secretly Stefan...!!! ;m; I do have some fairly concrete differences between them in that she's 100x more honest/open than Stefan, and is far less cynical. But they both have this cold, intellectual air to them that I don't really know what to do with. (Not that it's even noticeable in the above doodle, but;;;) I guess Stefan's coldness is more or less intentionally put up on his own will, while Prue's coldness is something she doesn't really realize she's doing. Idk. I'LL FIGURE THIS CHICK OUT, ONE DAY.

You may have noticed that I degraded into my usual draw-one-eye-only syndrome. IT'S JUST... TOO HARD TO DRAW TWO EYES AND KEEP THE EXPRESSION I WANT AT THE SAME TIME. ;U;
So yeah. Happy almost winter break, guys! Hang in there, yo. ;o

Some Dudes and Stuff

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

More Random Stuff

No introduction, this time. ART DUMP A-GO.

This is actually from several weeks ago! :V I was trying to get better at drawing Kotetsu. Yep.

This is related to O. J.'s backstory/etc, and since I want to use him for role play stuff, I don't really want to give too much away... ;u; But uh. This is what he dresses like when he's not performing on stage and stuff. Yeah.

Some head stuff. I wanted mainly to practice drawing Prue's face. I have trouble drawing her. "orz For some reason, she looks really different with her hair down. :V
I stuck Stefan in there so I could compare his and Prue's faces, sine I used to draw them really similar.

(Sorry about Gabe's gesture, I can remove it if you need me to! :V)
These were some redraws from this thing! Yeah. Expressions are like my favorite thing to draw! 8^D I wanted to see if I've gotten better at drawing them and stuff. Angry expressions used to be really difficult for me to draw, but I think I'm getting better. Serious-angry is still pretty difficult, though. Idk. I'll figure it out eventually. :V

O. J. doesn't believe in shirts, or something.
I keep drawing O. J. in basically the same clothes, but with different patters. orz WHATEVER, IT'S FUN.
This is also the first time I lined something traditionally in a long while. Lining can be fun, but my pens don't really like drawing over the pencil sketch. 8D;

Some Vanity Fanfare expressions. :V I still don't know anything about her backstory. I thought drawing her would help me think of something, but EH...

More Gabe. I HAVE SO MUCH TROUBLE DRAWING HIS HAIR!!! It just doesn't look like how I want it to. D: I have a pretty easy time drawing his short hairstyle for when he's older, but idk... for some reason, his current hairstyle has to be so PRECISE. And if I draw something a little incorrectly, it just makes him look weird. orz Idk what's up.

And yep, that's what I've got for you today. :V Thanks for viewing, as alwayzzzzz.
