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.

Enjoy Your Stay at Various Planning!

Created By moonlit dream

Sketches from the deep...

...or from the beach.
Whatever.
I drew very little while I was at the beach. xD I only sketched a couple things. (Which was probably a bad idea, considering I hardly ever finish my sketches into complete pictures. >_____>)
So um...
Here. :D Sorry I always bombard you with sketches. ;~;

Rick. :U Because I felt like it. xD; I haven't drawn him in a while, so I wasn't really sure what I was doing. :I I never know what kinds of outfits to give him. In the top left corner, you can see a drawing of Rick my little sister made. And directly below that is an inaccurate drawing of my little sister that I drew.

I drew this without really knowing what I was doing. xD; I hate drawing Dare facing the right. D: But Loyal's outfits are always fun to draw. :D Pretty much anything goes with her. Dare's shirts are fun too... mostly because they're so stupidly strange.

I felt like drawing Gaelnis, one of the characters from My Dear Princess. I'm still working on how his outfit... I'm not sure what to do with his undershirt and boots.

I drew this one on whim. Idk what I was really doing, except I wanted to draw someone with wings like his. So I made this robo-dude with wings and all that. This may or may not be a new character... I've wanted a sci-fi character for a while now, but I planned on it being a girl. I don't have many girl characters, you see. xD; BUT I DO LIKE THIS GUY'S DESIGN... Maybe I'll just change him into a girl. I mean, he is wearing like... short shorts.
...I'm actually suprised the pose doesn't look totally incorrect in this one. 8D

That's all I drew while I was gone. Oh, except this one page with a bunch of stupid doodles. But this is all the semi-decent stuff. xD

Stefan is Tomato's manager. 8D He's easily annoyed, and Tomato's non-stop talking usually bugs him like crazy.
But somehow he has developed an awkward crush on Tomato. He denies it completely, though... mostly because of the 9-year age difference between Him and Tomato (he says it'd be like a 12th grader dating a 3rd grader. xD;), and because Tomato is usually annoying. He hates Tomato at times because he's so annoying. He also gets aggravated with Tomato's naivety and stupidity. His crush on Tomato is mainly based on physical appearance and the fact that Stefan's around Tomato so much.

He also hates Tomato's boyfriend. :0 Because he's JEALOUSSSS.
...Secretly.
But seriously, he is. Stefan always tries to prove he's better than TB, so he's extra proud and show-off-y around him. He'll also take any opportunity to insult TB. They have kind of a frienemy relationship, though; they actually both like fighting with each other. xD I guess? It's difficult to explain.

Stefan is always stressed due to overwork. He does most of the work required for Tomato's photography gigs and whatever. He's also stressed about his emotions and whatnot, especially over Tomato and Gabe. As a result, he's developed drinking problems. D: He drinks because he hates thinking about things, and would rather just have his problems disappear from his memory rather than try to solve them. He's often oblivious to his own feelings. (ie: he ignores them.) This is obvious in his relationships with both Tomato and Gabe. I guess it's more prominent with Gabe, though. He has obvious feelings for Gabe, but fails to realize it for some time...
And by then, everyone already knows. Hoho.

Gabe and Stefan have a weird relationship. :I If you read Gabe's character profile, you'll know that he's a big flirt and pervert. That annoys Stefan. Oh yes. He also doesn't think Gabe is serious about him since Gabe's such a big flirt. Although, Stefan does like Gabe for keeping him company and talking to him and stuff. Most of the other characters pay little attention to Stefan b/c they figure he's too busy.

FASHION IS STEFAN'S LIFE.
For sure. xD
He's extremely serious about his job. The people he works with usually think it's funny how serious he is. 8D
He used to be a photographer, but now he's Tomato's manager. :0 Yay. He secretly wants to be a model, though.... So he's somewhat jealous of Tomato about that. He figures since he does all the work, he should be the one being photographed.

AND THERE.

Thanks for reading again.
It's a lot longer this time around...

Zack Sketches. :D

According to Google Chrome, Zack is spelled wrong.
:I That's very strange.
Anyways, it's been a while since I've drawn Zack... mostly because he's so hard to draw. xD; So I'm going to try to force myself to draw him as practice. I mean, I finally managed to learn how to draw Tim's hair, so I think it's time I learned how to draw Zack. :> I did some sketches last night. So here.
-3-

I like the top two pictures, actually. :0 I may ink and color one of them.

About the dancing picture...
Grooving means dancing according to me. Actually, I thought that's what it meant to everyone, but I'm not sure. :/ My reasoning was the word "groovy" is associated with discos, which have lots of dancing. And the song "shake your groove thing"... it's like... dancing. And "get your groove on" means "dance".
Yeah.
OKAY. I JUST DON'T GET ANYTHING.

The quote on the bottom of the couch picture says "when you're in high school, you notice two things in girls' bodies: butts and boobs. But when you graduate, you start to notice the legs."
I actually heard a guy say that before. So I totally stole that from some random guy. >3>
Zack's not a creep. He's just a boy. -w-

Even now I have no idea what I'm doing when I'm shading Zack's hair...

Story: A Life Like This (ch. 4)

This one's a little longer. :| I think this is the last of Tim's middle school chapters. :U By the way, Tim's mom is actually 29 in this chapter. Sorry for the strange dialogue. "orz WHAT DO MIDDLE SCHOOL BOYS TALK ABOUT...? Also. Desc...

A whole ton of random stuff

Okay. I scanned like, 12 pages from my sketchbook. BECAUSE IMOUTO CHAN WANTED TO SEE SOME RANDOM DOODLES. And I had some lying around.
Idk how many images are allowed in a world post, but I'll put as many as I can and the rest will be links. xD;

External Image

I haven't posted these yet, have I? :/
Anyways, these are the pages I used for planning Kor's design. It took 3 pages. "orz Just because I'm really indecisive about things. xD; As you can see, he originally had this really ugly green vest-shirt thing. It was weird, so I changed it to a jacket. :d
....you know you want a shower lamp.

External Image
I posted the top picture of Damian earlier. :U
BUT REALLY, WHAT IF DARE AND RICK HAD EACHOTHERS' PERSONALITY? To me, characters who look like Dare usually have Rick's personality and characters who look like Rick usually have Dare's personality. But that's probably not true. xD

External Image
I drew this at the hair salon while waiting for Takara. :U Stefan is fun. but his face looks weird here. :I
Oh. Takara drew that scary thing on the bottom. Apparently, it's my VERY OWN DBZ OC! (idk. xDDD)

External Image
Tim's mom, Cassidy Ackart. This has spoilers for A Life Like This, I guess. o3o

External Image
I uploaded the colored thing to my portfolio. :0 It was on this doodle page in my sketchbook. xD
LOOK CLOSELY...
That's Segran's catch phrase. I think I've said this before... :I

External Image
More Stefan. This time in normal clothes, beacuse I was bored. xD; HIS LEGS ARE SO LONG THOUGH...
And yeah. Stefan is secretly a tennis pro.

External Image
Sketch of Luli. :D It's not done yet, though.

External Image
Dare and his female self, Truth. xD In RB:SI, she's a rabid Dare fangirl. :U (who knew he had those. xD)
Truth looks very similar to Dare, so here's some sure fire ways to tell them apart:
Truth's a girl, so she has a chest. Duh. xD She also wears a skirt instead of jeans.
If only her head is seen, Truth wears a stud nose piercing, while Dare wears an actual nose ring. Truth also wears hoop earrings, while Dare wears studs and sometimes safety pins (?!?!). Oh yeah, and I draw Truth with eyelashes and slightly longer har. :D SO THERE.

Sketch of Rinchu and Segran. The mysterious figure on the bottom is going to be Segran. xD
Idk how to draw butts. o3o

http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e153/takarafox/akiohs%20album%20of%20junk/img097.jpg
LAST ONE! This is my most recent sketch. I was bored, so I drew Shinitsu. :d What I was talking about on the top of the page is how the Japanese katakana character "shi" and "tsu" look like smiling faces, which is weird because Shinitsu is always smiling.

OKAY THAT'S ALL.
I NEED TO CLEAR THE DISHWASHER.
Sorry for all the random. xD;
