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.

A random thing

I was *HINT HINT*-ed by a CERTAIN PERSON *coughimoutochancough* to post some doodle stuff.
Yaaaahhhh maahhhn.
But only one because I'm too lazy to scan anything else. xD

External Image

Rick and Dare.
Of course. xD;
This started with me wanting to draw Rick in that old outfit I always made him wear back in the old days. :d Which I pretty much never draw him in now... idk why, I guess I've just tried to steer clear of the outfit since I used to ALWAYS draw him in it.
I also put ~*~*EXTENSIVE DETAIL*~*~ into Dare's apple shirt this time around. xD
Although, I wonder where I've seen that pose before...
Oh yeah, it was in the picture from the previous post.
....I couldn't think of a pose, okay? xD

Oh, yes. That strange little doodle on the right...
was on behalf of this song.

Okay. End of rant. For real now. xD

New Introduction!

Because I said I would, when I first made this world... like a year ago. xD
GO CHECK IT OUUUUUT.
Hopefully it'll make understanding my posts easier. :d

BOMBARDMENT OF DOODLES!

I got a new sketchbook a couple of months ago, and doodled a lot in it. So here is everything in my sketchbook except a few concept stuff of a new character (it's for Wakusei's challenge, so I don't want to spoil the surprise) and some other stuff I didn't feel like scanning.
So it's not really everything in my sketchbook, after all... xD; Anyways, here. Random stuff... and one picture on graph paper.

External Image
The first things I drew in my new sketchbook. :d Near the bottom, I wanted to practice drawing Tim. C: The picture on the right looks better... But I can never draw him well with two eyes. o_x; And then I started randomly writing "blah" in different ways...

External Image
Concept drawings of Nana and Popo (the ice climbers) for TAOMAR. :d These two are fun to draw. xD

External Image
Some of my way old characters. xD; Except that mini Charles Darnay under Hichiro. Oh, and that lady singing into a pencil in the top right. (It's a gorgeous picture of my little sis.)
I don't really like any of these characters. They're boring. xD;;;

External Image
I usually draw Dare when I'm bored. xD;;; H-HE'S JUST FUN TO DRAW... ;3;

External Image
Outfit and pose idea for a picture I want to draw of Michka. This is how most of my pictures start out. :>

External Image
Some OFAV doodles. :D Leah is the girl Dean likes. Mick is Leah's boyfriend.
And that's me on the top. I had hiccups, my hair was frizzy because I didn't flat iron it, and because I was about to go to sleep, wasn't wearing glasses. xD;;

External Image
A headshot of Damian. :d My aunt was curious as to how I colored, so I drew this quickly. This is the first time I've sketched, inked, and colored something in one sitting since... a long time. xD

External Image
Okay.
This is a really odd picture.
Ew.
So I wanted to draw a picture of Stefan and Gabe... but I forgot Gabe was such a pervert. Bah.
Gabes hand was originally on Stefan's neck. And then it was around his shoulder. And then it was on his butt, and stayed there.
.....
Don't expect pictures like this from me. xD

AND THAT'S ALL! :D yeah.

Sketches!

I have a scanner!!! 8D Too bad I've just been doodling a whole lot... Actually, I've been drawing a lot of the character for Wakusei's challenge, but I want to keep him a secret until I finish the picture for the challenge. :M
Anyways, here's some sketches. :D

External Image
It's JAMAL. He's dying.
Okay, he's not really dying. He's choking. xD; I mentioned in his profile that he has lung problems because of the smog in his town, and that he coughs a lot. Well, he chokes a lot too. :P Um... It's got a background and everything! :D
I'm kind of scared to ink and color this pic because I'm pretty sure I'll mess up. xD

External Image
It's Gabe. I just drew this on whim. xD; I'm not really crazy about it. But idk. Maybe I'll finish it.

And that's all for nooow. :M Hopefully I'll finish some pictures soon....

Extended Profile: Gabe

**Updated 7/4/13

I was bored one day, and sketched a picture of my character Gabe. Since I've never really talked about him before, I'm going to post some stuff about him.

*Note: The characters in Of Fruits and Vegetables (OFAV) are not meant to be totally round characters... so if you see a lot of information missing in this profile, it's because such information is irrelevent.*

Personality: carefree, sometimes crude and obnoxious, rather arrogant, hot-headed, joker-ish

Gabe... Oh, Gabe... I have conflicted feelings about him. I don't like his personality. Actually, his personality is exactly how I want it to be, but I don't particularly like people with his type of personality
Because.
HE IS A BIG PERVERT. DDDD:

Gabe is Tomato's hairstylist. He is a MAJOR CREEP. He flirts with strangers, makes provocative remarks and dirty jokes, and is just really obnoxious. >:I I can't even explain how much of a creep he is because I'd feel dirty.
**If you want to know exactly what Gabe's standars for raunchiness are, I talk more about them at the bottom of the post.**

Gabe has a crush on Stefan. Or something... He finds him "voluptuous." o_x Stefan has rejected Gabe many times, but Gabe is persistent... He teases and flirts with Stefan all the time. Beause he's a creep.
(but secretly Stefan likes it.) (?!??!) (Okay, maybe not.)
Gabe is confident that Stefan will one day fall head-over-heels in love with him. Yeah, he's a little stupid... He also tells Stefan to call him "Gabey-babe" at some point. Oh my gosh such a creep asodflsdf.
Eventually, Gabe begins to develop honest feelings for Stefan and tones down his pervertedness. (?)

Hm, what else...
Oh yeah, Gabe has a tattoo on his chest, which you can see in the above picture. It's the snake-fire-thing. And yes, he does randomly lift up his shirt to show Stefan his tattoo at random intervals.

Gabe is possibly the only character in OFAV that is honestly concerned with Stefan's drinking problem. The others are concernd, but really just kinda let Stefan do his own thing. Not that Gabe doesn't drink though, 'cause he does. He just thinks Stefan drinks too excessively. (Personally, I'd say Stefan's drinking level is above what a normal person would drink, but below what an alcoholic would drink.) Mainly he complains at Stefan because he says drinking alone and making yourself sad is stupid. IF YOU WANNA DRINK, YOU SHOULD BE DRINKING AT A PARTY OR CLUB OR SOMETHING, MAN! No but seriously, Gabe is the one who sees Stefan's drinking more up-close (?) than any of the other characters.

The people in OFAV usually think Gabe is kind of a jerk... he is quite rude and makes fun of people he doesn't like. D: He also probably teases Dean the most out of the rest of the crew, and doesn't realize how SENSITIVE Dean is. Basically, he doesn't get other peoples' emotions well.
Oh, one last thing. I don't think I've drawn Gabe with a beard before this picture, but he does indeed have a beard. Sometimes. Depends on his mood, I guess...

Um... That's about it. For the most part.
BASICALLY,
ALL YOU HAVE TO KNOW ABOUT GABE IS THAT HE'S A PERVERT.

**At this point, Gabe's perverseness has been toned down a bit since I first designed him. xD; Initially, I intended him to be the kind of guy who has one night stands with tons of dudes, gropes people at random, makes out with guys on the street... and then I eventually realized that he could probably get arrested for sexual harassment if he did that. xD; CAN'T HAVE ONE OF THE PROTAGONISTS IN OFAV GETTING ARRESTED, CAN WE? actually, that might be an interesting comic strip arc But anyways, I've since more clearly developed Gabe's standards for "raunchy activity"/etc. I won't get too into it, but here's the gist of it if you're curious about how Gabe handles this stuff:

Sex: As much as I don't like talking about it, sex kind of is part of Gabe's character... so here you go. For Gabe, sex has little to do with romance/being in love and is mainly sexually active because he's bored. It's pretty safe to say that he doesn't fall in love with someone just because he sleeps with them. (This is unlike Danny, who develops feelings for Gabe because they sleep together.) Gabe lost his virginity at 14 years old. (A little young, but what can you do...) Total, Gabe has slept with 6 guys; something like 2 guys in high school, 1 guy while he was in New York in his 20's, and 3 guys during his time in Paris including Danny. I imagine that he sleeps with the same 3 guys on multiple occassions, rather than one night stands. When I first created him, I always imagined him to have slept with like... 20 guys. That's ridiculous. xD; Anyway, two of his personal "rules" is that he doesn't sleep with guys younger than 21 or virgins. That said, he does sometimes flirt with Dean, who's 18... but he's just teasing him.
As his crush on Stefan developes into deeper feelings (and some of Stefan's philosophies rub off onto him), his hormones gradually calm down and he begins to understand that it's time for him to grow up. But bad habits are hard to break; it takes him a bit longer than you might think to quit being so promiscuous.
OH YEAH, and he always practices safe sex. YAY?

Kissing: Gabe has no problem kissing guys he doesn't know, but this usually happens at clubs or bars with the other person's permission. He doesn't kiss teenagers. Gabe sometimes kisses Stefan on the cheeks to annoy him, but he doesn't usually lip lock with him unless it seems like Stefan is okay with it. (But then again, he's bad at reading the mood of a situation... so he's usually wrong. >3>)
Danny has no problem going up to Gabe and greeting him with a lip lock, but Gabe becomes increasingly uncomfortable with this as he begins to see Danny more of as a good friend rather than someone to sleep with.

Touching: Nope, he doesn't grope random guys. HOORAY! Usually the most he'll do is put his arm around someone's waist when he's flirting with someone. Sometimes he may slap/pinch Stefan on the buttox because Gabe's stupid, but he'll never full-out feel someone up out of no where.

Flirting: This is mainly excessively complimenting guys that he thinks are cute and saying slightly suggestive things to them. He does this to anyone, mostly for entertainment. He thinks straight guys are funny to flirt with. And Stefan. He gets good reactions out of them. If someone honestly gets mad at him, he'll usually stop. While stefan often seems like he's "honestly mad", Stefan's really just annoyed more than anything.

SO THERE YOU GO! Your lesson on Gabe's raunchy activity. Maybe this'll help you understand just how he acts around other people.
