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!
YO sorry for the lack of posting here, for the past couple weeks. I've been in a bit of a drawing rut, I guess. orz HOPEFULLY THAT'LL STOP SOON, HAHA. Anyway, have some drawings.
WOW the first thing I post is something super embarrassing. I remember being really uncomfortable drawing the profiles, when I drew this. I haven't practiced profiles in a while. orz
This is a emoji challenge request I did of Den-chan's character, Coda. >:U Sunglasses, bro. They make everyone at least 5% cooler.
I feel like I posed this, already... even though I don't think I did. Anyway, this is a Marth and Roy print I'm working on! *U*b It's a remake of sorts, of this old drawing from 2008. ;o Except Marth and Roy are in their SSB4 outfits, now. Even though I've been kind of lazy about working on it (still haven't finished the line art;;), I'm really looking forward to finishing it! *U*/
This is an emoji challenge request I did of Kasa's character, Kin. KASA, I'LL DRAW ELIZA, TOO, I PROMISE...!!! Eventually.
I wanted to draw Stefan in this shirt, and white pants. Yeah, it's a totally normal outfit, idk why I felt the urge to draw it.... I was surprised with how the pose came out, though. :U
BRODNEY DOODLE... My beautiful, shining child of pure goodness.
Also, I think I finally designed his girlfriend...???? I don't really have a strong attachment to her, though, idk how I feel about her. I'll post those sketches later, though.
I liked this when I drew it, but NOW IT JUST SCARES ME...!!! Anyway, I was watching Chunibyo and Free!, so I tried to draw in Kyoto Animation's style.... It's too weird for me to draw. Never again.
Also, this is supposed to be Jack. (????) And the background is from here. (IDK WHAT'S GOING ON IN THIS SCREENSHOT, IT'S JUST WHAT I FOUND THAT HAD A SOMEWHAT OPEN BACKGROUND.)
This is about all the progress I've made on the Marth and Roy pic... I need to line Roy. """orz INKING WHY.
Fake screenshot! I didn't technically draw this, I traced the first panel of this page from the webcomic THIS IS NOT FICTION. >:U I was gonna do the whole panel, but... this was so much easier! AHA;;;
I'm working on a couple fake screenshots of my own characters and stuff, too. Those'll be done eventually. WOO.
Okay, yep. That's all I've got, for now. YEAH!
I meant to post some of these a couple weeks ago, but couldn't because of con stuff. xD; But whatevz! Here's some drawings.
I WAS GONNA POST THIS TO MY PORTFOLIO...!!!! But then I didn't, and here we are. THIS IS KIND OF LATE, BUT I'M SO GLAD TO SEE ROY BACK IN SUPER SMASHHHH!!!!!! ;U;/ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ It's been too long, my friend. His new outfit is really cool. *u*b except for the bell-bottoms but HWATEVA
So yeah. Have some Roy to celebrate his return to the Smash Bros universe. :,DDD
Oh yeah, have some Little Mac too, 'cause I guess he's cool or something. -u-
I did this Noland drawing around the same time I did those pose practices in the previous post. :U I didn't use a ref for this, though, just kinda winged it. I like drawing Noland's legs when they're bent. :U
I just wanted to draw a cute Noland.
EVEN MORE NOLAND! Noland likes getting affection (as most people do, I guess). He's kind of lazy when giving affection, he'd rather not do anything. (?)
Someone on Tumblr wanted me to draw Kotetsu from Tiger and Bunny for the emoji challenge. :^D This was emoji b3.
I kinda miss drawing Kotetsu! Maybe I can draw him and Barnaby better, if I try again... :V HM.
Anoter one for the emoji challenge! This was for WyvernWings, actually, of their character Pumpkin Chai with my O. J. :^D This time I put the emojis on the pic itself, so there you go.
Random Gabie-Boo I drew to get away from working on cosplay stuff last week. orz
Drew some Steven Universe fan art, 'cause why the heck not. I've only seen like 5 episodes of this show, so I wouldn't really call myself a fan;;; But it's not a bad show. ;m I wanted to draw Jasper because I like drawing muscles, even though I have no idea what I'm doing.
Idk, I thought it'd be interesting to compare Noland and Stefan's head shapes, since they're the most drastically different from one another. :^D STEFAN IS SUCH A POINTY INDIVIDUAL!
YEAH!
Okay, that's all I've got. THANKS FOR THE VIEWAGE, MY FRIENDAGE. (????)
YO. I feel weird posting so soon, since I already posted to this world this week. xD; But I've been drawing a lot of stuff, so I want to just go ahead and post the stuff. :U So here we go!
This was Little Mac from that one drawing I did in February, that I don't think I'll ever finish. xD;; It was just coming out too meh for me to finish it. "orz BUT OH WELL! Maybe I'll do a different drawing with some SSB4 characters, some time.
But yeah, just messing around with soft shading... This was kind of fun to do, but soft shading just isn't fun/comfortable for me! I say this every time I talk about soft shading, but I think it is just not the lifestyle for me. *3*/;; But oh well.
Noland in PJs. :^D Because that's what you do, when you're me. Draw Noland in PJs. (?)
AHA, okay yeah idk why I'm posting this. But I am.
Keyblademewkasa and I were talking about doing a The World Ends With You cosplay for Anime USA, where she'd be Rhyme and I'd be Beat. But I am a blind and skinny fool, so here is an artistic representation of my cosplay.
Some coloring test I did on the Roy picture. It was too inconsistent for me to feel comfortable doing, so I switched to the coloring I did in the finished picture. xD
A ~*~dramatic~*~ picture of Stefan and Gabe. I was thinking about how I always used to draw Stefan crying, when I was in high school. So that's what I decided to do, here.
I keep drawing the weird dot-eyes that I usually only do in doodles, but in more detailed drawings! >:U Idk how I feel about this. I've kind of always had a weird relationship with eyes, but eh... something about drawing the dot eyes instead of more detailed eyes all the time... idk what to do about it. xD
/idk if that even made sense
I said I would ink this a while ago, so I finally did, haha. Though inking is a pain, traditional inking is, in some way, strangely relaxing. :^D I just don't like to do it too often, because I always mess up and INK! IS NOT ERASABLE!
I guess I'll get around to coloring this, at some point. Haven't seriously done traditional coloring in like a year, though, so idk how that'll go. HA...
Noland chibi! 'Cause I thought it'd be cute. I haven't really posted a lot of them, here, but I've been drawing a lot of chibis for people on gaia and for charm designs. I think I've finally got the hang of them, hahaha. :^D
When I drew this, I kept thinking "NOLAND LOOKS LIKE SUCH A DAD... SO WHY DO I STILL THINK HE'S CUTE.............."
Idk what that says about me.
Anyway, yeah. Here's Noland either grading some papers, or looking over his own writing. Also smoking is not wise, kids, don't do it. ;U
And. That's my post. :D Thanks for viewing!
I tried to post this yesterday, but accidentally closed the page. orz SO HERE WE GO AGAIN...!
Some Gabe heads. Gabe's head used to be the easiest for me to draw (because it's the most similar to how I used to draw heads, but now Gabe's head is one of the more difficult ones to draw... especially as far as head angles go. Noland's is probably the easiest, because it's basically just an oval. :^D;
I like when I get Gabe's expressions right, though. *U*/ Gabe's been trouble for me ever since I created him, but I just... really like him, haha...
I like how the original sketch looked, too, so I guess I'll include it. :9
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY ABOUT THIS, IT'S JUST STEFAN AND GABE BEING CORNY AND CUTE. :^D;;; I want to draw more Stefan and Gabe comics, gah... I just feel weird that I always post these corny drawings of the two of them, but I hardly give you guys any context on their relationship. xD Comics just take a long time to draw, though. orz
Decided to make a body and face reference for Jessica. :u I like drawing her legs, haha. Now I just need to make her hair more consistent;;; BOTH SHE AND DMITRI HAVE THIS CRAZY HAIR THAT I JUST RANDOMLY ASSEMBLE WHEN I DRAW THEM. ;u;/
Even though I've designed her, I never draw anything for Nerdy and Jock. "orz SORRY...
Some cuddly SteGabe. I've drawn Gabe's hand on Stefan's butt on other instances, so I deem this okay to post on theO. -u-b The butt grab here seems more sincere than those other instances, even. :^D (????????? i do not know, my friend.)
I like how most of this came out, but I don't like Gabe's arm. :T MUSCLES? ARMS?? I should practice... I keep saying should practice bodies and anatomy and stuff, but I never do;;;
So much Stefan and Gabe in this post.
Anyway, this was a response to something Tauria said on dA when I posted that top picture of Stefan and Gabe. I imagine Gabe likes when people compliment him and Stefan, but Stefan doesn't really know how to feel about people commenting on their relationship. :^V
This is one of many potential designs I've gone through for Brodney's girlfiend. orz I DON'T... EVEN KNOW ANYMORE, DO I EVEN NEED TO MAKE THIS CHARACTER. /;U; Iiiidk, Nerdy and Jock wasn't supposed to have a huge cast, but it's kind of turning out this way. I just feel like I should maybe have another girl character to help even out the cast, but meh. I like how this character looks, but I'm totally lost on personalities right now. BLUGH.
Finished the Roy line art! :D Now to color, hoo hoo.
...MMMYEP I guess that's everything, then. Hope you have a nice week, yo! :D
Not a whole ton of stuff from last week, whoopsie. I WAS SO BUSY LAST WEEK, IDK WHAT HAPPENED;;; But uh, yeah.
Thought I'd doodle Stefan with a short hairstyle, for those top two drawings there. :^D I've just been into short hair these days. So many of my guy characters from around 2010 have hair that goes past their ears because I was never any good at drawing short hair... Maybe that's the reason I don't draw Rick and Tim anymore.
jk it's just 'cause i'm lame and can't think of any way to salvage them....;;; Apparently, it's been almost year since I've drawn Tim. :I IT ACTUALLY FEELS LONGER THAN THAT... I drew him last school year a fair amount more than I realized.
Uh... anyway, what was I talking about. Stefan with short hair? Stefan doesn't actually get his hair cut for good until some years later. I sometimes think that he'd be better with short hair because it suits his strict personality better, but I just... he's had long hair since high school, I imagine he's kind of sentimental about his long hair. HAHA, IDK STEFAN, YOU DO THAT...
How the heck do you draw heels.
Anyway, here's Noland trying on his mom's shoes when he's like in middle school, or something. I TRIED, drawing younger characters is always harder than I think it will be;;;
I guess this is the only canon time he wears feminine clothing, even though I draw him in skirts and stuff all the time. Idk what to really say about this without feeling like I'm getting weirdly dramatic, so uh... sorry. ;u;/ Maybe I'll draw this scene sometime to give better context...! I'd love to draw stuff about Noland's home life growing up, though I'm not sure if I could pull it off like I want to.
Not sure if any of you remember Jessica Marron, so here you go. She's one of the Nerdy and Jock kids.
Still not 100% sold on how I want to draw her... I'm getting this weird urge to draw her with EVEN BIGGER 80S HAIR and I'm not really sure if that's a sound idea;; I do like her, though, I kind of like where her personality is going. (YEAH I KNOW SHE KINDA JUST LOOKS LIKE ANY OTHER CHARACTER OF MINE RIGHT NOW BUT;;;) Jessica's reminding me WEIRDLY OF GABE, THOUGH... idk if you can see it, but I can because look at that pose. That's a pose I always draw Gabe in...............
I also seriously have no idea how high schoolers dress. Even in high school I didn't know what was considered the fashionable standard;;; HEY HIGH SCHOOL PEEPS. MAYBE HELP ME OUT A BIT, WHAT DO THE "COOL AND POPULAR" KIDS DRESS LIKE...
Also that person on the bottom there is no one, I just felt like drawing something.
Since I drew Peco, here's Smile from Ping Pong: The Animation. Speaking of PPTA, the English dub trailer recently came out. I think the voices are pretty good, but just a problem I've been having with dubs lately is that all the dubs are same-sounding. I WANT... MORE VARIETY... It's not that I even dislike dubs, I just wish I wouldn't hear the same kinds of voices in every anime dub.
BUT WHATEVZ, JUST FELT LIKE BEING MILDLY WHINY FOR A SEC, AHA.
GAH UNDERWEAR! I was initially worried that this pose was too ~*~sexy~*~, and I get concerned drawing Noland in ~*~sexy~*~ poses because he's a teacher. IT'S LIKE... PROBABLY DON'T ROMANTICIZE (?) YOUR TEACHER LIKE THIS, IT'S PROBABLY NOT OKAY.
But at the same time Noland's like the same age as Stefan and only a little older than Gabe... and I don't have that same problem with making Gabe ~*~sexy~*~, so I wonder if I really should be so concerned about Noland. I guess it just depends on whether he's supposed to be taken as a teacher or just another character of mine.
/IDK WHERE THIS WAS GOING
Made some more progress with that Roy pic. The legs are still bothering me a bit, but they're looking better. Not sure how I want to color this yet, hrmmrmrm.
WELL, that's the end of that. Sorry for blabbing so much, guess I was just in the mood to talk. xD;
