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!
GAH kinda behind on posting stuff to theO. orz I've been kinda worn out, anyway, and haven't had time to do ~*~cool doodles~*~ anyway. ;0;/ SO UH... YEAH SOME OF THESE ARE GONNA BE SUPER SLOPPY, HAHA. I might make another post in less than a week with the rest of the doodles/WIPs I have. ;o
But yeah, here's this.
I was remembering some weeks ago that I once drew an outfit for Tomato that had this pointlessly huge bustle-thing on the butt. So I wanted to try drawing it again, hahaha. :^D It's been a while, though, Tomato...
I NEGLECT SO MANY OF MY OCS.
Some comic I drew to try to figure out how to draw comics with Lafayette. I DEBATED ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT TO POST THIS HERE, BUT... WHATEVER, IT'S FINE, RIGHT.
When I re-read this, it kind of just looked like Lafayette was showing Dmitri that he was wearing shorts under his skirt. But uh... the boxers are, indeed, his underwear.....
After drawing this, I came up with a number of other underwear-related jokes with Lafayette that I could draw. Why I have the sense of humor of a 10 year old, I do not know. /-u-;;
I wanted to draw a better ref of Dmitri, since I've been thinking about him a little bit. :^U His legs really annoyed me in this pic immediately after I drew this, but... idk, they don't really bother me as much right now, hahaha. xD;
MY GREATEST PARANOIA WITH DMITRI AT THE MOMENT IS THAT HE WILL BECOME... IDK... MIKORIN, OR SOMEONE... orz I've rarely even posted anything with him, so this probably doesn't matter that much to y'all, though, haha. xD;
IDK WHY I HAVE SO MANY DOODLES/ETC WITH LAFAYETTE... I don't even feel like I've drawn him that much, idk. I guess I'll just talk about them all individually, since I LOVE RAMBLING.
1) The top doodles were about Lafayette in gym class, or something. Idk. IDK! The bottom stuff is Dmitri bringing Lafayette back to class. Laf skips a lot and just kinda chills in classrooms he's not supposed to be in. Teachers usually ask Dmitri to go fetch him, since he's basically the only one who can handle Lafayette.
2) Dmitri barging into a classroom to bring Lafayette back to his correct class. LAFAYETTE 2 COUNTERCULTURE 4 U. (???)
3) Lafayette's almost always really different when he's acting in plays. As a side note, even though most people admit that he's rather a good actor, he almost always gets small roles in these days. He was once given the lead role to a play, but because of his UNpreDICtaBLE nATurE, Lafayette broke character because of someone in the crowd and ruined the whole production. The drama club doesn't want that to happen again, so they just stick him with lame roles.
Oh, he also plays both male and female roles, if you were wondering for some reason.
4) Some earlier concept art for Lafayette. I think this was when I figured out how to draw his bangs, idk. HIS BANGS LOOK SO WEIRD IF THEY DON'T COVER HIS EYEBROWS AND TOUCH HIS GLASSES...!! I don't understand, but that's how it is.
5) SHORTS. Despite his expression in the bottom doodle, he's actually really happy.
Wow, that was pointlessly long.
I haven't really been drawing Noland, lately. orz I still think about him pretty often, though, so I'm not worried or anything. (?)
I wanna draw stuff with him and Chrystal! >:U I don't know what, though, all the comic ideas I have are too long and I'm horribly lazy.
EXTREMELY LAZY STEFAN DOODLE. That's all.
(NO STEGABE THIS POST...! ????)
I've drawn some better things besides the stuff here, but I guess I'll just post those later. But yeah, that's all for now! Thanks muchage for the viewage, my friendage. (??? Why do I feel like I've said something like this before.)
HALLO, FRIENDS! Katsucon was this past weekend! It was a lot of fun, but it's good to be back and stuff. :^D I'll talk about it and post pictures in my normal blog-y world some time this week, but for now, have some drawings and WIPs and stuff.
Felt like giving another shot at one of those fake screenshot things, so here's the flats. I always draw Tomato in blue and white stripes, but I just... really like those colors on him... orz ALSO HE LOOKS SO YOUNG, SORRY FOR THE WEIRD SMALL SHOULDERS...! I didn't feel like fixing the proportions, haha;;;
Had another little crisis about Gabe's hair. Though I've definitely gotten more comfortable drawing his hair, I still think he looks kind of goofy compared to the shorter hairstyle... BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IDK, I think his stupid hair is stupidly cute...!! And it just look so Gabe, idk.
I was talking to a friend about it the other day, and she was saying his hair isn't bad, it just doesn't seem like the kind of hairstyle a 28-year-old should have. I'm thinking I might try to incorporate a haircut into Gabe's timeline... because his difficulty accepting his age is some sort of theme, or something. I mean, he still acts like and kind of likes to believe he's still in his teens or early 20's. So maybe getting his hair cut to be something (sort of a little barely) more mature can come at a point when he's more comfortable accepting his age or WHATEVER..........????? Something like that. It sounds kinda silly typed out like that, but I can see someone actually doing something along those lines... maybe............
Yeh.
This next thing has swearing in it and I'm a little too lazy to go and censor it, so read at your own... risk? Risk is not the right word. Reading comics is not risky.
Idk what the punchline is, just look at Jack's funny face and laugh. *u*b
I made this comic because I don't think that either Ned or Jack personally identify with any sexual orientation title, they kinda just have an "I like who I end up liking" mentality (especially Ned, who doesn't stress over his preferences like Jack does). I mean, the two of them do sort of have an underlying set of preferences that I decided on and could mention, but the two of them themselves aren't fully aware of their preferences and don't really try to define them either. So I don't think it's really that important to mention. :M
Not that there's anything wrong with definitively deciding on a sexual orientation, or anything; Charlotte identifies as pan, Brodney identifies as straight, and other characters have their own thing. Ned and Jack don't really identify as anything specific, though. :V
/some talk about something
I'll try to make the rest of the Nerdy and Jock comics that I do less orientation-related, and just about teenagers being silly. *u*b
Dmitri wears shorts forever.
Also, I still have no idea what's up with this guys hair. xD;;;
I'M REALLY WORRIED ABOUT THE BACKGROUND, so I added like some test colors and overlay colors to see what it'll look like. The colors actually look pretty decent, so that's good. I'm just really worried about actually doing the background... orz
ROY!!!!
WHAT IS HE DOING HERE?? I haven't drawn him in so long. If you're a long-time subscriber of mine, you may remember I drew him all the time, back in the day. The reason for his sudden reappearance is that someone was selling these really cute SSB charms at Katsucon... I was about to buy the Little Mac one, when my friend was like,
"LOOK. THEY HAVE ROY."
And I died a little because it was such a cute charm. I bought it. B) BUT REALLY, ROY MERCH IN THIS DAY AND AGE... it makes me so happy. ;u;/ So yeah, I drew this because my love for Roy was rekindled a little. *u*b
Yeah, I think Little Mac is pretty cool... I just like muscle boys, okay.
There was this one Little Mac cosplayer we saw when we were pulling into the Katsucon hotel, who was RIPPED. ...Or just had somewhat more muscle than average. I was impressed (?), because most of the other Little Mac cosplayers were just regular dudes. WHICH IS FINE, THEY JUST DON'T LOOK AS LITTLE MAC-Y. There was also this hipster Little Mac with these hipster glasses... except he was actually pretty fit, too. :B
/pointless stories from Katsu
I actually wore these big hipster glasses while cosplaying, too, idk what I'm talking about. I'M A LITTLE BLIND... orz
UH YEAH, that's all I've got for you. :^D I'M GONNA GO GET SOME FOOD NOW, BYE! *u*b
I wish I'd stop making these art dumps SO LARGE! I should limit myself to 3 or 4 things per dump, instead of TEN.
I got some watercolor materials for Christmas! So I drew my cousin's daughter for her, because I kind of said I would back in the summertime;;; I ref'd a photo, but I don't feel like getting it onto the computer so TOO BAD FOR YOU! 8D
I want to do some other watercolor drawings, but idk what, yet. ANY... SUGGESTIONS...???
BERT. My fire emblem OC. Haven't drawn the poor guy in a while. Hopefully will draw him again soon.
The end.
LITTLE MAC. From Super Smash Bros. 4. Might make some SSB4 keychains, or an SSB4 print, if I can think of anything. :^D
Maybe.
Hopefully.
Trying to figure out Dmitri's face... he's one of the characters in Nerdy and Jock. I ACTUALLY LIKE THIS GUY QUITE A BIT, NOT THAT YOU WOULD KNOW... Idk, I love drawing ANGRY FOOLS.
It's Devin! My Animal Crossing mayor! Just felt like drawing him. :V I want to play AC, but I left my DS in my dorm room... orz WHAT A FOOLISH MOVE, AKIOH...
Wanted to update Noland's body ref. His face came out kinda eh, but idk I think the body is accurate. :V IDK, I'M BAD AT THIS CONSISTENCY THING.
AAAAGH, SCANDALOUS...??? There's no meaning to this, I just wanted to draw a moody, underwear-clad Noland. I did something different with the line art-y thing, though, which was interesting! 8^D I suppose.
Jack says, "whutup."
Yeah, idk what to say about this.
steFAN WORK WITH ME i can't MESS WITH YOU if you FLIRT right BACK at ME
-Gabe
Gabe, stop swearing. I drew this two seconds ago, because HOOBADOOBADO! (????) I hadn't drawn this sort of scene in a while, and then it turned into this.
Stefan and Gabe are my homeboys. :^D
Idk why I decided to draw his arm like that, I have no idea how perspective is supposed to work.
ANYWAY, that's all I've got for you, today! :D HAVE A LOVELY WEDNESDAY.
Here's some stuff I haven't posted yet from the past couple weeks. :V
Ned and Jack doodlie-doo. I'm surprised that I really like Jack. Usually I gravitate toward hyperactive idiot characters like Ned, but I think I have more fun drawing Jack. *3* Also, Ned's too tall here. I forget how tall he's supposed to be... like 6'1? Jack's 5'11. Idk.
I was feeling bad for not drawing Stefan and Gabe one day, so I drew this. I draw Gabe in tank tops too often, these days... I'm not as used to seeing him in a t-shirt. xD;
Painting practice on SAI. Idk how this even managed to come out decent, because usually I mess up paintings so bad... xD THE LUCK WAS WITH ME, I SUPPOSE. I didn't feel like drawing Noland's other eye, though, so I just eyepatched it up. :V
More Ned and Jack. Ned looks really scary in the top right pic, sorry. orz
Jack's redheaded football friend, Dmitri. He's a total jerk who can't think for himself, but he's actually a really fun character to draw. :V He'll be appearing in comics from time to time, usually to grump around and be angry at Ned. Yeah.
Here's some random little dialogue. .3. I keep seeing Jack as some little human sitting in a tiny chair, instead of being in the background... .u.;;;
I was staying at my aunt's house about a week and a half ago, and she asked me to draw something on her chalkboard. :V So I drew Noland... aha. xD; CHALK IS SO HARD TO WORK WITH, THOUGH... I couldn't get the skin to have a nice even layer of color. It took me like 4 tries. orz
I did some random sketch of Gabe yesterday, and I actually kinda liked how it came out. SO I GUESS I'LL INK AND COLOR IT...? I know I upload a whole ton of grinning Gabe, but... EH... It's his signature look, okay...! ;u;
And uh... yeah, that's all for now. I have some doodles from the beach that I forgot to scan last week, so I'll try to upload those sometime soon. ;o
Here's some stuff from the past couple week or two! :M
Prue and Nolandddd. :V They're fun to draw together. I'll make a big long post about their relationship, eventually.
I imagine Noland has like 7 pillows on his bed and uses all of them when he goes to sleep.
Some drawing of me. I was explaining to someone how I kind of choose clothes based on my characters... >3>;;;
THE SADDEST NOLAND DOODLE IN EXISTENCE!! I wasn't feeling sad at all when I drew this; I just wanted to draw a really sad crying face. xD; Noland's supposed to be around 22 here, but idk if he actually looks any younger than how I normally draw him;;;
I was listening to this when I drew this. I listen to a lot of Daughter when I draw Noland. :V;;; THIS IS STILL YOUR FAULT, KASA...
I feel like I had a reason for drawing the doodle on the top where Gabe's being a clingy idiot, but I can't remember what it was. RANDOM COMIC, WOO HOO!
Felt like drawing Noland in some outfit he'd never actually wear. RED PANTS!
Some cranky Stefan. Boo yah.
Nerdy and Jock sketches. ONE THING I REALLY LIKE ABOUT THIS GROUP is that they're all high school school kids (which is something I haven't focused on since A Life Like This), but there's no real "high school drama". Idk, I was never really into high school drama fiction like Degrassi or Glee or other things... but I do kind of like Disney Channel high school shows, like Good Luck Charlie and ANT Farm, because they're just really fun! xD So idk I guess this is like my Disney Channel boys love with swearing.
And since it's summer, have a bathing suit pic! 8D These are some friends' and my Fire Emblem OCs. My OC Wybert is the one in the hilarious old fashioned one piece...........;;;
