Various Planning

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.

Created By moonlit dream

Sketch: Ms. Marigold

I was looking through one of my old sketchbooks and found Ms. Marigold in this outfit:
External Image
I think that's from last year... or maybe 2010. Idk. I remember I was dreaming one time and I envisioned Ms. Marigold in this cool looking outfit. So when I woke up I tried to draw it. xD (For some reason a fair amout of the ideas I have for Dreams come to me while I'm sleeping or trying to sleep.)
Realising I hadn't drawn Ms. Marigold in a million years, I decided to draw her in the outfit yesterday:
External Image
Yeah. I really haven't drawn Ms. Marigold in a while. I should draw her more often. I should just draw the Dreams characters more often. xD
Her skirt makes her butt looks huge, but it was totally in-style to make your butt look really big in the 1890s. AW YEAH.

I feel like I might make this Ms. Marigold's official outfit because it looks better than her current outfit. But idk, she looks a lot more youthful than I had originally intended for her design. :T

Anyways, yeah. Kind of like a before-and-after post or something... I want to get this done, but I probably won't because I'm AWESOME! I mean terrible.
D: Ugh. I HATE INKING. What prevents me from finishing pictures is inking, I think. But actually, I have two line arts that I need to color...
If I ever finish this, it's going to be in markers.

Spring break doodles

WHILE I DID NOTHING PRODUCTIVE THIS SPRING BREAK (with the exception of the Stefan picture), I did do a lot of doodling. I also did some short story comics on lined paper, but I'll upload those on a different post.

Also, sorry but I won't be able to finish the sketches until another week. orz I have SAI on a different computer, and I won't have access to that computer until next week. """orz Sorry 'bout that... ;A; BUT I WILL DO THEM!

So yeah.
Here's a lot of doodles I did in my newly-created "doodle notebook". :D I'm not typing any of the text because I don't feel like it. Sorry you have to read my freakish handwriting.

External Image
Some random scene or somthing. You read down, left to right. I drew a lot of Stefan this break. 8D More than I'm posting here. I drew a comic thing on lined paper. I'll post it later.

External Image
For some reason I wanted to design Gabe's parents. They totally will not appear in OFAV ever. Probably. xD;

External Image
Little comic of Tim. :U This is read left to right, not up and down.

External Image
An outfit for Michka. I love when fancy clothes have pockets, by the way. 8D I like putting my hands in my pockets.

External Image
I've been playing The World ends With You lately. I'm trying to get all the items and be friends with all the shop clerks... :D;
Anyways, I thought I'd try to draw Stefan and Gabe in TWEWY style. xD; Kinda fun! But also kind of weird.

These next few aren't from spring break, but I'll post them anyways.
External Image

These were for a RB:SI-OFAV crossover thing. xD; When Something Impossible goes to Paris (which will be never at this rate), Rick somehow ends up meeting Tomato. And yeah.
I drew the first one while waiting to eat at The Cheesecake Factory. I started drawing this guy's shoe, but I think he noticed I was looking at him. I started making it up at the end so I wouldn't have to keep looking at him. :D;

External Image
Last one! Just a random thing about Rick and his eating habits. (???) As it says, read down.
Idk if that's going to be Mr. Stairwell's final design. Probably not.
Also, I can't spell cruller.

Okay, that's all! Thanks for viewing. :)
...Do I draw my characters too much?...
Nahhhhhhhhh.

Comic Sketches & Character List WIP

I've had these historical comics sketched for a while, but I haven't finished them yet... xD; So instead I'll just post the sketches!
~~or partial sketches, rather~~

External Image
Historical background for these two comics: William Short was Thomas Jefferson's private secretary who kept Jefferson in tabs with the French Revolution. Jefferson also referred to Short as his "adoptive son". Jefferson unofficially adopted him (Jefferson had no children due to being a widower), despite Jefferson only being 16 years older than Short.
Jefferson, being a strong patriot and advocate of Democracy, fully supported the French Revolution. On the other hand, Short often wrote Jefferson of the violence occurring on behalf of the revolution.
I LIKE WILLIAM SHORT. We didn't learn about him in school, so the only things I know about him are from the internet. So some of the stuff I write/draw about him may not be true... But he was Jefferson's "adoptive son".
John Adam's son was future president John Quincy Adams.

External Image
Historical background for these two comics: Jefferson and Adams went to England in 1786 and (according to www.monticello.org) "also visited Shakespeare's home -- and chipped off a bit of his chair as a souvenir, in Adams' words, 'according to the custom.'" Obviously, I exaggerated the event for the sake of the comic. xD;
By the way, I can't spell souvenir without spell check. "orz
The Boston Massacre was an event in US History where a conflict between a group of anti-British colonists and 8 British soldiers resulted in the death of 5 civilians. It is still debated over who started the incident: the colonists or the British soldiers. Ultimately, the event sparked even more British hate in the American colonists. John Adams defended the British soldiers, resulting in six of the soldiers being acquitted and the remaining two convicted of only manslaughter rather than murder. The soldiers payed him eighteen guineas, about the cost of a pair of shoes. (Idk whether or not he actually bought new shoes, I just made that bit up. But he was payed enough to buy some. :D;)

YAY, LEARNING!

And lastly, here's a picture of how my character list from ages ago is coming along:

I finished all the sketches, now I just need to ink and color. orz

OKAY, THANKS FOR VIEWING!

Story: A Life Like This (Chapter 10)

WHY DO I TAKE SO LONG TO WRITE????? ;A; Sorry for the long delay. orz I'm kind of confused over whether or not I like the pacing to this story... But anyways, here's the next chapter. I don't know what to say about anything today......

Extended Profile: Danny

Since I just uploaded a picture of him, I'm going to post Danny's extended profile. :m

**OFAV characters have some information missing from the top part of the profile because such information is irrelevent**

Nicknames: Danny, Danny-boy (by Gabe or Jo, on occasion)
Age: 24

Love Interest: Gabe; later Jo
Sexual Orientation: Thought to be homosexual, but is actually bisexual
Hair Color: Dark brown

Eye Color: His eyes are naturally brown, but he thinks that’s boring so he wears purple contacts. (But he also wears glasses... what? xD)
Jewelry: One piercing on each ear, likes to wear rings and wristbands
Key Friends: Gabe, Jo, slightly Stefan and Dean (Actually I wrote this a while ago, and I can’t remember what conversations he has with Dean…. >3>)
Key Enemies: None, but considered Stefan a rival at one point
Phobias / Fears: Cockroaches
Bad Habits / Vices: Snide at times, nosy
Best Qualities: Easily converses with people
Worst Qualities: Complains a lot
Personal Goals: TO GET THOSE HORMONES UNDER CONTROL, BOYYYY. Okay, not really. Uh. Well, he’d like to confess to Jo someday I guess…
Professional Goals: He doesn’t care, he just wants money.
Style of Speech: Like, totally girly! But not quite as girly as Tomato.
Personality: Energetic and emotive, but selfish; stubborn; seemingly arrogant, but can be quite bashful; needs to be constantly entertained.

(By the way, a lot of this probably won’t come up in OFAV… xD;;;;;;)

Yeah… Danny. I think I made him because I wanted to draw a very childish and immature character. Tomato is pretty immature, but he’s almost a different kind of immature… I guess. xD Danny’s an energetic boy who gets bored very easily. When he’s bored, he has a tendency to complain a lot. He acts proud and cutesy, but he can also be a bit snarky (I think that’s the word? xD) and mean. He finds hilarity in making fun of people he doesn’t know. Even though he acts like he’s all that, he’s actually easily embarrassed.

So. Danny is a 24-year-old... something. I’m leaning toward guy-who-works-at-a-coffee-shop. xD His parents are fashion designers, so he has an interest in fashion, and designs clothes in his free time. He can’t sew, so his clothes usually just stay sketches. More than designing clothes, he likes window shopping at really expensive stores that he can’t afford to buy from.

He loves candy and anything sweet. :B But he has bad oral hygiene, so his teeth are terrible. He has multiple fillings and is supposed to wear a retainer. (But he doesn’t…) The reason I decided on this is because I used to want to draw him with a gap in his teeth when he smiles. xD; Like this:

But I probably won't draw him like that.
He also has a knack for baking. :9 Yum.

While Danny and his parents don’t always see eye to eye, he’s very close to them. This is because he has only recently been living on his own; in college, he commuted from college to his parents’ house. Danny met Gabe through his parents. Like I said before, his parents are designers. They designed some clothing for Tomato, and were at the photo shoot when Tomato was modeling the clothes. Danny came along too, and met Gabe there (since Gabe’s Tomato’s hair stylist). Gabe, being the flirt that he is, pulled his moves on Danny. (what) Danny wasn’t incompliant, though… Aha. -u-; And that’s how their friendship (?) began. They are real friends, though. I mean, their relationship isn’t totally physical… but I’d say a fairly large portion of it is. .3.

On a side note, Gabe is the only boy that Danny fools around with, but Gabe has multiple lovers. (orz) But it’s not like Gabe keeps his friends a secret from each other, he’s pretty open about it. GABE IS JUST… RATHER PROMISCUOUS…

But enough about Gabe. Danny ends up falling in love with Gabe because yeah. He initially was going to confess to Gabe formally, but he suspected Gabe liked Stefan so Danny kind of lost hope in Gabe. He gives up the idea of him and Gabe being in a formal relationship when Gabe tells him he likes Stef. For a while Danny does consider Stefan his rival, but he knows that Gabe only thinks of Danny as a friend and doesn’t stand a chance against Stef. (Or something like that, idk.) In the end, he tries to encourage Stef and Gabe to go out with each other. Aha. WHAT IS THIS OVERLY-ROMANTIC STORY…

After Danny’s feelings move on from Gabe, he ends up developing feelings for Gabe’s sister Jo. The initial reason is because she kind of looks and acts like Gabe. When Danny realizes he’s crushing on Jo, he kind of freaks out because he’s never been attracted to a girl before. He also doesn’t know if he should confess to Jo because she thinks he’s gay and she’s told him that she’s not really into romance. He also hates how she’s taller than him. Haha. BUT HE GETS OVER IT.
Isn’t that right, Danny.
Yeah.
DannyxJo is like… one of two straight couples in OFAV. Or three-ish. The other two are DeanxLeah and MickxLeah… BUT I’M NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT. Read Dean’s profile if you’re interested in that.

UM… I guess that’s all I have to say about Danny. If I think of anything else, I’ll add it.
