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.

I've decided to start numbering these drawing dumps so I don't have to keep giving them different titles, btw. ;0 STARTING AT SUCH AN ARBITRARY TIME, BUT WHATEVER... Anyway, have some draws. ...

Pencil Sketches

Kind of not related, but I've started to go back and replace the images that aren't working. There's a lot of them, so I haven't gotten very far at all, haha;;;; BUT UH, can someone tell me if there are even images that aren't showing up, for them? I wonder if it's just my computer that doesn't want to load the images. The images start disappearing around page 4.

ANYWAY, sup guys. I've been feeling kind of meh about sketching digitally, lately, so I've started using my sketchbook again. :V DRAWING ON PAPER IS SO NICE, BUT IT'S JUST... SO SMALL, AND I DON'T HAVE ROOM ON MY DESK FOR A LARGE SKETCHBOOK... I like that I can zoom in and out digitally and undo and stuff, but I just like the way sketchbooks feel. :V Anyway, have a couple sketches.

External Image
Hey yo, it's Gabe.
It's super weird for me to actually like drawing Gabe's hair. xD I FEEL LIKE... I MORE OR LESS UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE DOING NOW...! It's still a ridiculous hairstyle, but you know. At least I get it. I've been doing some weird stuff with his eyebrows lately, though. I just keep drawing thicker eyebrows on everyone, soon enough no one will have foreheads--it'll just be eyebrows. (?????)
I kind of want to ink and color this for fun, but I'm really uncertain about my traditional inking capabilities. xD Haven't inked in forever, yo...;;; BUT IDK, MAYBE I'LL GIVE IT A SHOT!

External Image
Weird quality, sorry. This is Kasey, if you can't tell. I wanted to draw her in that outfit I made for her, again. I'm thinking I'll just scan this and use the cleaned up sketch as the line art, and just color it. It came out pretty good for those Secret Santa drawings, hopefully it'll look good with this! :V
This sort of float-sitting pose is like the easiest thing for me to draw. Idk why drawing people standing is so hard! ;u;/ It's partially because my sketchbook is kind of too small for me to comfortably draw people standing, but I think it's also just that I have a hard time conceptualizing how people balance their weight standing up... So yeah, just gonna stick to float sitting for now.

This is all I've got, wooo. WOW, SUCH A SHORT POST! I feel like that never happens anymore, haha. Thanks for viewing!

Bathing suit doodles, 'cause why not.

I... mostly did these because I wanted to draw Gabe in stupid swim shorts PRACTICE DRAWING GABE'S BODILY PROPORTIONS.... and then I threw some other people in there for the sake of a fun swimsuit time. :^D

External Image
I DON'T REALLY MENTION IT, but Kasey and Gabe are actually total bros! 8D Or bro and sis. Or besties. IDK, I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO SAY BESTIES, SO I WENT WITH BROS EVEN THOUGH KASEY'S A GIRL. They like to geek out over hot celebs and sing trashy pop music together. (???) Yeah, idk.
I actually have a comic idea about Jo, Gabe, and Kasey living together when they first move to France, and how Kasey and Gabe become friends. Gabe's actually a pretty big butthole in that story, but I think it'd be an interesting thing for me to draw, someday. :V
Kasey always wears fun clothes. I should design stuff for her more often. :m

External Image
I have no idea what this dialogue is, or even how I was supposed to write it. I-I DON'T REALLY TALK TO PEOPLE ABOUT ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE. HOW IS IT DONE? WHAT IS CONSIDERED ETHICAL AND UNETHICAL? ENLIGHTEN ME.....
As Kasey and Gabe are pretty close, Stefan and Jo are actually decent friends, as well. He considers her more or less the most level headed person out of the OFAV group, excluding maybe Dean. Jo was actually the one who got Kasey and Gabe their jobs with Tomato and Stefan, by the way. :^D

External Image
Idk how to draw Jo's face anymore. -u-b And I don't really have anything else to say about this doodle. Meh. :^D

External Image
I MEAN, WHY NOT DRAW NOLAND IN STUPID SHORTS, TOO... Aha, yeah. While I do think Gabe would seriously wear stupidly short swim shorts, Noland would probably wear knee-ish length swim trunks and some sort of swim shirt or jacket. (Do swimming jackets exist? ...??? Idk.)
On a side note, Prue is so hard for me to draw without thinking of her as secretly Stefan...!!! ;m; I do have some fairly concrete differences between them in that she's 100x more honest/open than Stefan, and is far less cynical. But they both have this cold, intellectual air to them that I don't really know what to do with. (Not that it's even noticeable in the above doodle, but;;;) I guess Stefan's coldness is more or less intentionally put up on his own will, while Prue's coldness is something she doesn't really realize she's doing. Idk. I'LL FIGURE THIS CHICK OUT, ONE DAY.

You may have noticed that I degraded into my usual draw-one-eye-only syndrome. IT'S JUST... TOO HARD TO DRAW TWO EYES AND KEEP THE EXPRESSION I WANT AT THE SAME TIME. ;U;
So yeah. Happy almost winter break, guys! Hang in there, yo. ;o

Random OFAV doodle-things

GUYS, I FOUND ANOTHER COMIC CALLED OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES!! What the heck. Hahaha. xD

Anyway, here's some sketches/doodles I did in my doodle notebook thing.

External Image
Some years ago, my sister left me a comment with her prediction of all the pairings that would happen in OFAV, by character. For Stefan, she said "Stefan >> everyone."
UNUSUALLY PLAUSIBLE, ACTUALLY...
The only one of these that's moderately canon is StefanxTomato, because Stefan has a sort-of crush on Tomato in the comic. (Actually, I keep forgetting he's supposed to like Tomato... but.....;;;)
The next plausible would actually be StefanxDean. (!?!?) Stefan usually treats Dean pretty well (compared to the rest of the cast minus TB), but that's partially because Dean kind of a little bit reminds of Stefan of Noland. So I guess he's a little partial to Dean because of that.
The least plausible is... UH... probably StefanxKasey. I think Kasey is 100% unattracted to Stefan, purely because Stefan is 30 years old. Which is old for her. IDK, KASEY, YOU'RE ALREADY 25 OR 26 YOURSELF...

External Image
This is from some dialogue I was planning out for a comic about Stefan, Gabe, tattoos, and the levels of friendship or something. (????) I never finished the comic or the dialogue... I just took a picture of this because I like Stefan's face, here. 8D I like drawing an annoyed look on his face, hahaha.

External Image
I also really like drawing slightly-bashful-but-not-quite Gabe. 8D;;; This is probably the face of Gabe that I doodle the most in my notebooks....

External Image
Stefan was freaking out about making the monthly quota, or something. (??? idk how to talk in business terms.) Gabe's trying to help him out like an Absolute Pro.

External Image
A little doodle I did based on THIS AMAZING DRAWING THAT GEROCHAN DID FOR ME!!! ;0; ;0; ;0; /i'm totally bragging sorry
The "Stefan and Gabe Japanese umbrella romance" in the background made me wonder if Gabe would draw something like that.
Answer: maybe...

External Image
KISS ON CHEEK, OOOH. yeah. Here's my sort of ref. :V I-I like drawing corny romance stuff, okay...
Gabe's actually not that much taller than Stefan, so HOW LAME OF ME TO DRAW HIM SO TALL. Maybe Stefan's leaning down or something, idk.

SO! There's some stuff. :D HAPPY WEEKEND! I'LL TRY TO WORK ON THE NEXT OFAV...
