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.

WEH sorry for never updating. I've just been kinda unmotivated lately, and I can't think of anything I wanna draw. -u-/ It's been cloudy and rainy for a couple weeks, which really drains me for some reason. I'm also weirdly busy (even though it do...

Some Noland Stuff + New Character

Idk why the *u* face has been my smiley of choice, lately, but I have indeed been using it a lot in my posts and things. It just kind of happened...;;; ~*~STARS IN MY EYES~*~
Anyway.

I'm really behind in posting my tumblr doodles to theO, but I will post them all!! (Sorry to those of you who follow my tumblr and have already seen them;;; I do this not just so the people not following my tumblr see my sketches, but also so I can add longer footnotes/commentary on my sketches. BECAUSE. I LOVE TALKING ABOUT MY OCS;;;)
For now, have some Noland sketches from this past school year, and a new character that's part of the Nerdy and Jock crew.

I wrote that Noland doesn't like many sweets, but I think it actually goes like this: He tells people he doesn't care much for sweets, but if offered a dessert, he'll always eat it. *¬*
Stefan honestly does dislike sweets, though. I LOVE SWEETS, SO IDK HOW THIS IS EVEN POSSIBLE, BUT...
My mom also dislikes sweets. I've mentioned before, but I use my mom as reference for a lot of Stefan things... >3>;;;

If I ever get around to doing anything with Teach Me Something Good, there's this one scene or series of scenes or something where Chrys invites Noland to an amusement park and stuff goes down there. I'd really like working on Teach Me Something Good because I think it'd actually be a pretty interesting story/comic/idk what... but yeah, I just don't really feel like I can take the time to draw/write it, yet.

Some random Noland. I was trying to get a handle on his body type. I STILL STRUGGLE SO HARD, BRO... ""orz Consistency is not my strong point. :D;

This was supposed to be like some chapter cover illustration, or something. Maybe I just wanted to draw Noland in a bowtie. I. Don't. Know.... >3>;
I've briefly mentioned the scene where Noland gets asked on a date by a fellow teacher. That fellow teacher is, indeed, Prue. :V This is another scene thing that I'd like to draw/write, if I wasn't hilariously lazy. -u-b

Another chapter cover illustration thing. This pic is also kind of spoilers that I haven't mentioned, yet. I don't want to reveal to much about this, because the ending-ish part of Teach Me Something Good can come off as very "I wanted this to be unnecessarily dramatic hoo hoo look at this story"...;;; I've considered taking out this part so many times... and I still might, idk yet. "orz
(Btw, Teach Me Something Good ends around the time that Chrystal graduates, but Noland and Prue's story continues for years after TMSG.)
The title-word-stuff comes from this band from the 50's called Nolan Strong and the Diablos. :^D I only know about them because I googled Noland Strong this one time...

Also spoilers of the same nature as the previous pic, but yeah. I'mma just leave this here... :V;;;

LASTLY, here's a pic of the new character: Ned's best friend, Charlotte! 8D;

And I'm too lazy to come up with new commentary on this, so I'mma copy and paste this up, yo. >:V
So, uh. Ned has a best friend, and this is her. I feel like I haven’t designed a character like this since 2009, or something. xD MULTIPLE BELTS. CRAZY PANTS. LOTS OF BRACELETS. HAIR OVER THE EYE!!!!
Anyway, yeah. This is Ned’s best friend since 6th grade, and her name’s Charlotte Han. She’s some sort of voice of reason to Ned’s crazy hyper fool thing. Maybe.
I’m so bad at “scene” fashion, but I kind of think it’s pretty cool looking. Tacky, for sure, but SOMETIMES, YOU JUST DIG THE TACKY.

THAT'S ALL FOR NOW! Thanks for viewing, as always~~~ ;3;

Noland and Chrystal Doodles

Idk if I have something titled this already, but whatever. xD;

I got bored today, and did some doodles! Noland and Chrystal, aw yeahhhh. I actually really like drawing them together (as friends). :9 So yeah, here we gooooo.

1) Idk what they're looking at. Yeah, Chrystal's hand is on Noland's shoulder............... but she's just like that with all her friends.
She also obviously does not treat Noland as a superior if she's treating him the same as she treats her friends her age... BUT HEY, I guess Noland doesn't really care much.
Except usually he does. Stop being so friendly Chrystal it's weird I'm old aaaaa <<-A good summary of their story. orz

2) Here's the dialogue:
Noland: I know I dress like a square! But is it really that bad to like boring clothing?
Chrys: It's cool, man. (Note:: It is probably not okay to call your teacher "man.")
This one, 3, and 4 are all related. Noland gets asked on a ~*~DATE~*~ (by a fellow teacher), so Chrys invites herself over to his place to help him pick out clothes for the date. Is it totally weird to have a student over at a teacher's apartment? Pretty much. Does Noland care? Pretty much.
Chrystal, on the other hand, doesn't give two hoots. :V
What kind of slang am I using. TWO HOOTS...

3) ....
I just like drawing Noland in clothes. 8D; This is an outfit Chrys picks out for Noland to wear on his ~*~DATE~*~, or something.

4) Dialogue:
Noland: [in response to the outfit Chrys picked out] I-Isn't this a little too young? I don't know if I can pull it off--
Chrys: Nah, dude, you look great! (I'm a genius. ☆) (Note:: It is probably not okay to call your teacher "dude," either.)
Chrystal is very proud of her ability to pick out clothes, I guess. She totally didn't steal it from an Abercrombie & Fitch magazine, or anything........................

5) Felt like trying some realism. CHRYSTAL CAME OUT SO CREEPY, THOUGH. I also wanted her to look slightly younger than she really is (16 or 17, idk), but she ended up looking kind of old. Eye dee kay. :V;;; Despite all that, I don't think it came out too bad as far as realism goes! Still looks kind of cartoon-y, but eh.
Yeah, I know she's missing an eye... .u.

6) Yeah, he's missing an eye, too. >3> I think this one came out better than the Chrystal one, but I wasn't really using a ref for this one. I've gotten really bad at using refs... "orz
I did these realism drawings because I was curious about how Noland's hair would look in real life, but then I ended up drawing it as nonsensical as I always do. xD; SWOOSH SWOOSH. BLOBS. That's how you draw Noland's hair.
Yeah.
I still don't know if he looks the correct age. :^D

AND, I GUESS THAT'S ALL! Thanks for viewing and reading my rambles about my characters! 8D

Line Art: Noland and Chrys

Since I just uploaded info about them, I want to do a colored pic of Chrystal and Noland. :V I finished the line art:

Yep, so there they are. I wasn't going to make it look like Noland was dropping his books, but... WHATEVZ. His hair looks like whipped cream to me, for some reason. :9 His face was also giving me issues. :I I'm probably going to change it again.

If anyone wants to color this for practice, feel free too! I ENCOURAGE YOU TO. YOU HAVE TO COLOR THIS, OR ELSE. Okay, that last one's not true. But I do like to see how other people color my line arts, for some reason. xD If you color this, make sure you tell me and credit me for the line art.

I've been doing lots of digital art/doodling on sai/etc lately. orz I haven't touched my colored pencils in a while... mostly because I'm too scared to. ;A; I do have a traditionally inked pic that I should color with colored pencils... yeah.

That's all for now. I'm trying to finish coloring this today. :V

New Characters/Etc

Hey guys! I feel like I always open up with that. Anyways, I mentioned in my Welcome To Dreamland! world that I have some new characters. SO. Here they are.

Noland Strong

Don't try to read everything on there, because I'll just type it out here:

• Noland is Stefan's ex boyfriend. He cheated on Stef and ended the relationship due to embarrassment/ashamedness with boy-boy gossip.
• A kind and meek guy, but horribly weak-willed. Easily talked into things he doesn't believe in. Desires acceptance. Very much a follower. Self pitying. Meant to be compared with Dean Johnson: both have similar personalities and situations, but Dean is stronger in that he doesn't pity himself. (They never actually meet, btw. This is just a comparison of two similar characters.)
• Probably remains a bachelor for the rest of his life.
• Equally or more affected than Stefan by how their relationship ended.
• As far as physical description goes, he's around 5'10, and the same age as Stefan. His story focuses on when he's in college (22) and when he's a high school English teacher (33-ish). He aged quickly, so even in his 30's he looks around the same as he did in college. He has light brown hair and blue-green eyes similar to Dean Johnson's.

Yep, so that's Noland. His story would be about his life as a teacher, and his friendship with his student Chrystal:

I'm too lazy to type everything this time, so POOP TO YOU! My friend came up with her name. I think it's good. :V Chrystal is one of Noland's slacker students who somehow becomes friends with him. She goes by Chrys. Chrys likes to wear this bunny-ear hat thing in school, even though hats aren't allowed in school. She also does not date.
Noland has a crush on her, but due to the fact that he's a teacher and she's his student, he tries to ignore his emotions. (Nothing happens between them in-story, either.)
Idk what grade she's in yet, but I'll figure it out someday.

And here's a comic-thing about Noland! Yay. The first part with Stefan and Noland wasn't really supposed to feed into the comic with Chrys, but oh well. It works well enough, I guess.
(If it's not big enough, right click and select "open image in new window" where you can view it in its HUUUUUGE original size.)



LOOK, HE MESSED UP THE WORD "ORIENTATION" ON THE CHALKBOARD WHEN TALKING ABOUT HIS ORIENTATION! I'm pretty sure no one except me is going to notice that...
Also, all I ever talk about is peoples' orientations. Sorry. AGH.

And while we're at it, here's a pic of College Stef!

And that is the origin of his sunglasses, I guess. He still uses the excuse that he has sensitive eyes. Is it really just because he likes the way they look? The world may never know. ...Because I don't, really.
The only differences between College Stef and Regular Stef is that his hair is slightly different, and that he wore slightly different clothes. xD I think Stefan became more strict with himself as he got older, though. :m
Stefan so wishes he became a model.

And um... yep, that's that! :D Thanks for reading!
