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.

Comic Sketches + Misc

Since I put comic sketches in the title first, I guess I'll post the comic sketches first. :m I'm working on a comic-thing for Christmas (since I never upload Christmas-themed pictures) of Dare, Rick, and Tim. These are just the 1st two pages. Yeahhhh. It takes place in 11th grade, so it's pre-Something Impossible.
Akioh, I have no idea what you're talking about because I forgot everything in relation to A Life Like This and your Rock Band comic because you haven't updated either in several months
Me too, mysterious reader. Me too.
:I;;
Maybe I should update those some time.............

Aw, yeah. Master of dialogue here. ... COMICS WITH FLOWING DIALOGUE ARE TOO HARD. ;w; Maybe that's why I like 4-panel strips so much.
Whoa, Akioh, who the heck is that guy with the hat-- OH, IT'S RICK! I really wanted to draw Rick in a new hat... xD
And yep. Sorry for the handwriting, as usual.
Oh, and here's the song Dare was singing in the beginning. Not relevant at all. xD

Anyways, on with the other non-comic stuff! :m While we're on the topic of Tim, here's a picture of him and his mom.

Yes, Cassidy looks freakish. :M Who cares about bodies making sense! Answer: everyone.
The weird thing about these drawings is that I drew the picture of Tim and the picture of Cassidy on two separate papers at two different times. So it was kind of weird that they kind of matched when I put them together like this... Even the quotes seem kind of consecutive. xD;
But yeah. Akioh draws weird stuff sometimes.

I hardly draw Loyal, but I felt like drawing her the other day. :o No, that's not a beard... it's some weird shading... ;u; I remember reading a chapter of Yu Yu Hakusho once where a guy's chin was shaded like that, and I thought it was a beard. xD; I was wondering why it vanished in the next panel...
What I like about Loyal is that I don't feel compelled to draw her in a girly pose like certain individuals. :V

The rest of the stuff is OFAV related. I was talking to Takara the other day about how Gabe's pretty different from how he used to be. I think his appearance changes are on behalf of my drawing style changing. I can't seem to decide if I want him to have light brown or dark brown hair, though... I want it to be light brown, but it always comes out dark in marker. ;A;

This is the first thing I've colored in marker since... Hm. Apparently, I still think it's summertime.
Gabe's hair color is incorrect. BAH.

I think this is the first time I've uploaded a picture that actually shows Stefan crushing on Tomato. xD
Stefan, I think you have to be crushing on someone 12 and under to be considered a pedophile. I think you're in the clear. Although, when Tomato was 17 and Stefan was 26, those could be plausible ages for a teacher crushing on a student. Which is what the song Don't Stand So Close To Me is about. YEAH, CONNECTIONS!

Last one! :m Quote on the side is from Wounded by Third Eye Blind. Inconspicuous quote on the bottom is irrelevant.
I like drawing Stefan, yo. :U

It's weird that it's almost 2013! ;A; I feel like I haven't done much on my "things to improve on" list. I guess you could say I've been working on action poses...

Hm.
Well anyways, that's all for now. 8D YEAH...

Story: A Life Like This (Chapter 8)

WHY ARE THE CHAPTERS GETTING SO LONG? Well, they're not terribly long. This one's just over 5 pages on word, though. ;A; WHAAA-- Anyways, we have some dialogue between Dare and Loyal here. I was kind of unsure of how to write out the part wh...

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

AAAAAaaaaggghhh.
Loyal, I don't get you at all. But I'll try.

Loyal Ionel is the drummer for the band Something Impossible. She graduated from the same school that Dare goes to. Also, Michka and Zack also graduated from that same school. Woah.
Anyways, Loyal is an orphan. She was given to an orphanage home (I guess?) as an infant (probably very soon after she was born), and was never adopted (for unknown reasons... orz).
Loyal never knew her parents, and doesn't even know her last name. (;A;) The name Loyal was probably given to her by the orphanage people. BUT WHO REALLY KNOWS, HM?
However, Loyal gave herself the last name Ionel. She probably read it in a magazine or book or something.
IDK.
Up until she was 14, Loyal lived in the orphanage home. She went to school. Yay.
When she entered high school, she ran away from the orphanage and lived on the streets by herself temporarily.
(YEAH, I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE WASN'T KILLED AND STUFF OKAY, THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS. D:)
Later that year (I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG, KAY? D:), Loyal met and befriended Michka, who was a junior at the time. Michka let Loyal live at her house, because she thought Loyal shouldn't be homeless. Or something like that.
Oh yeah, and Loyal also met Zack around this time, and it wasn't long before Something Impossible was created.
I don't know how Loyal learned to play the drums.... she probably joined the band at school or something. Or she taught herself. IT IS IRRELEVENT.

By the way, currently in the comic, Michka has her own house because she moved out when she graduated. The house probably was given to her by her grandparents, somehow. (???)
(It's a smallish house by the way.)

Anyways, about Loyal's personality... Well, she's a weird one. She'll often bring up irrelevent topics into a conversation. She likes teasing Dare because he acts so dramatically. Also, she has this strange fasination that Dare and Rick are destined to be together. (WHICH THEY ARE NOT LSDKHJROASHDT) (LOYAL, WHY ARE YOU A DARExRICK FAN, GET OUT OF HERE YOU LOSERFACE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE IN LOVE WITH DARE AAAGH)

Loyal is kind of clumsy... I said earlier that she sometimes drops her drumsticks when she's playing the drums. :I She also isn't very good at paying attention to her surroundings, so it's a wonder she survived living on the streets.
Oh yeah, she's also horrible at cooking. xD At some point in the comic, Dare teaches her how to make pancakes, and it's basically the only thing she can make.

Uh, what else... Oh yeah. Since she doesn't have any parents, she's a little independent. Also because she doesn't have parents, she's childish. When she insults people, it's usually in a somewhat kiddish manner.
Loyal also likes to shop in the "kids" section of clothing stores. 8D She says she can "sometimes fit into a size 14"...
YEAH IDK...

Uhhh....
oH.
Loyal also likes to dress like a weirdo sometimes. Like. In the most weird outfits.
She claims she's making a fashion statement...

AND THAT'S ALL BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL LIKE TALKING ABOUT LOYAL ANYMOPRE ADSJRHAOSIT.
