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.

Lined Paper Sketches

I really like drawing on lined paper! :V I used to really hate drawing on lined paper. And apparently, lined paper annoys some people... I know that now, but I didn't realize it until someone pointed it out. xD I wonder how many people get annoyed by lined paper. :M
But yeah, I liked lined paper because it doesn't fray (?) like my sketchbook paper does. .u.

Anyways, here's a couple sketches I did yesterday, instead of studying for my Psych exam.
Also, none of these sketches have people with two eyes.
Sorry.
:^D

After finally finishing a post for the MCC, I was in the mood to draw Vevila and Vittorio. Vittorio doesn't have a bottom half of his body in this picture because I am extremely skilled and intelligent.
I was listening to this while I was drawing, so that's what that scrawl of weirdo cursive is supposed to come from. o3o;;;
You know, Vevila's kind of fun to draw. I'd draw her more if, in the words of my grandma, she wasn't "TRYING TO LOOK NAKED!"
Oh yeah, and fun fact! I got Vittorio's first name from a guy named Vittorio Giannini, who composed a song I played in my 11th grade orchestra! :V ...Yeah. That song was really hard. orz

The other thing I drew is the most dramatic Stefan and Noland thing, because I'm boring. (???)

The middle text was supposed to say "We spent most of our relationship with our eyes closed." And then some more lyrics from that song up there because it was still in my head.
GUH sorry about this. I'm usually too embarrassed to post stuff like this since you already get too much SteGabe out of me, but I thought this came out pretty decent. >3>;;; Idk if I like how Noland came out in that top picture, though. His face looks too short to be Noland. :T
Stefan and Noland's pairing name would be Nofan. BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE "NO FUN!" 8D ...I'm the only one entertained by that. "orz The pun is more like the pairing has "no fans" because most of the people that I've shown Noland to don't like him. 8D ...Still the only one entertained.
I draw angular butts. ._.

...yyyep, and there's that! :D I'mma go study now. :V

More Pointless Things!

I post so many useless things and doodles in this world. orz

Not really a true "Draw This Again" meme, but DO I EVER TRULY DO THEM? No.
Anyways, these are commissions I did of random bunny people, for some reason. The left was for shinshou on tinierme, while the right was for snow-rabbit148 on gaia.
Things that have changed for me as far as drawing goes is digital line art (which is thinner and colored), digital shading (which is usually cell shading + airbrush), and ~*~FACES~*~! Here's a long blob of footnotes from deviantART because I'm not cool enough to type something new.
I've always been really frustrated by the way I draw faces on people, because I never used to draw them with logical sense. I was aware I drew them weirdly, but I didn't bother to try to change them because... I just was lazy.... o3o;;;; But sometime last year something helped me figure out how to draw faces better. Weirdly enough, I think it was a drawing of my Physics teacher I did back in May of last year that indirectly helped me figure out faces. (IT WAS A GIFT, OKAY) Drawing my Physics teacher made me want to make a character with short hair and a different chin... which is how Noland came into existence! 8D Partially. I had been thinking about Noland's personality for about a month or less, but I didn't know what he should look like. He actually does kind of resemble my Physics teacher in the first sketches I drew of him, but that's mostly because of the dark shaded hair.
Anyway, I've somehow figured out a way to draw heads and faces that makes at least more sense to me than it did, so that's good... I really do want to get better at face shapes. :M;;; So far, I can only draw 3-ish vaguely different face shapes. xD; AHA... but I'll get better.

Also, something else about Noland relevant to that large blob of text! My friend from real life commented on this asking if I modeled Noland after a her physics teacher from my high school. I didn't (I had a different physics teacher), but Noland actually is a lot like her teacher from what I've heard. xD; I even found this perfect quote from his "rate my teacher" profile that easily could be applied to Noland:
"No idea what on earth he is doing.. It is truly saddening because you can see that he is extremely smart, and genuinely wants us to understand [English], and he is so passionate about it. BUT, he is terrified of high schoolers."
I actually didn't post that for you guys, I posted it here so I can remember it. THIS IS MY WORLD, I'LL DO WHAT I WANT.
Punks. >:V

STEFAN BEING ALL EMBARRASSED. I like drawing random blushing dudes, okay... ;U;
I have so much less to say about this compared to the previous picture. .___.

I call this, "Gabe Gesturing at Nothing, Forever."
I wanted to do a quick animation of something, but animating takes so long. ""orz This took longer than I thought, and it's only 7 frames...! xD;; I could've added more frames to make it less choppy, but meeehhhhh... animating is hard. BUT SERIOUSLY, It's really difficult because you have to make everything the same size as it was in the previous slide, and make sure every part of the person makes sense relative to the previous slide... I don't feel like going back and fixing Gabe's sleeves. I KNOW THEY WOBBLE. ;A; Bububububuh. I didn't even give him a tattoo because I know I would mess it up somehow. xD;;;;
As lazy as this animation came out, it's actually more detailed than any of the animations I did in that English project last school year. -u-b

I'm going to get back to studying now. :V HAPPY ALMOST FRIDAY!

WIP and Doodles

My sister said she liked this sketch I posted a couple days ago. I told her I'd try to finish it. (This picture was giving me really weird vibes, though, and inking it felt very awkward! Idk why. .____.) But yeah, here's what I've got so far. Sorry for the non-scanned picture. I don't feel like putting stuff into the scanner. :V SO MUCH WORK!

Gabe is so bendy. Idk.

I decided to draw Stefan's Boss again! :V You may not remember her. I only mentioned her once. I drew her 'cause I've been wanting to draw Tomato and Stefan when they used to live in New York... and this lady was present. I haven't gotten around to any comics, yet, though. xD;
I still don't have a name for her, but I'm leaning toward something like Taylor Rose.

Trying to figure out soft shading on SAI. I've figured something out that makes at least somewhat more sense to me, so maybe I'll get better if I keep trying! :V But idk.

REALLY LAZY-TONED POST BECAUSE... idk, I'm sleepy or something. Thanks for reading, if you did! I'm going to take a break from computer-ing, now.

Noland Expression Meme

OH YEAH. Forgot to post this.

Noland's crying face is the easiest to draw out of my characters, I think. BECAUSE HE IS JUST A BOO HOO BOY. (???) Gabe, on the other hand, is really difficult to draw crying. I have a total of one successful example that I don't feel like scanning.

For the submissive/dominant ones, I never know what to draw. xD; I stuck Stefan in there because I didn't know what to do otherwise. Noland looked basically the same in college as he does now... idk how that's possible, but HAH. WHATEVER... >3>;;; I wrote in his profile that "he aged quickly" or something, but these days Noland looks like a 5 year old. I don't know whyyyyy...... ;A;
Also, the sound effect there is "ruffle," but wrote it as "rffl" for unknown reasons.

For the enraged one, I was a little unsure of what to draw. Noland doesn't really get real angry. The thing I drew is from a scene where Chrystal keeps asking Noland if she can try his cigarettes. I HAVE MENTIONED THAT NOLAND SMOKES... but I haven't really talked about it much, I guess. Here's this, as PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE.

Not a photo. Obviously. UNLESS THIS IS A PHOTO OF MY COMPUTER SCREEN! Which it's not.
I think this is from September, so it's RATHER OLD.

I think Noland has already undergone CHARACTER PERSONALITY EXAGGERATION SYNDROME. That's not real, but it is now. I believe it's called Flanderization on TVtropes.
BUT REALLY, CHECK HIM OUT IN THE FIRST POST I POSTED HIM IN. It's already been 7 months since I made him, actually.
It's partially because I shaded Noland's hair and made it look dark that he seems different, but he's also somewhat more bashful now than he was. Idk! I think Noland's starting to overlap with Rick too much, so I'll try to fix that somehow.

But uh. Yeah. I should be reading for homework..........
BYE GUYS, HAVE A NICE DAY! C:

Sketches, Doodles, and Gaia Dump

I haven't posted in this world in a while, so today is the day! :D I BRING YOU TONS OF RANDOM STUFF. 8D

A quick sketch I did of Stefan and Gabe I did maybe 2 days ago. It's too sloppy for me to finish, so it'll stay as a sketch forever. :V Floating SteGabe, yaaaay. :^D

This is something I want to draw for the OC Fans challenge. It's Izuzu15's character Amnesia! I really wanted to draw Grief in the picture, too, but the page wasn't big enough. .u.
I WANT TO DRAW EVERYONE'S OC FOR THIS CHALLENGE, it's such a fun idea!! *0* Too bad the deadline's so short. orz I hope I can at least get a couple submissions in.

It's Daaare! 8D I always feel bad for not drawing my A Life Like This characters. I should probably work on that.
Anyways, for this one I was practicing coloring over top a middle value color, and seeing how that would work out. :M

Stefan doodlie-doos. :V The Japanese says "tsun tsun, dere dere." Because... Stefan... yeah.

I've also been doing tons of Gaia freebies/commissions because I get bored. Here's some of the ones I liked!

This is AuroraRugiada's character Thomas. I liked drawing his head. :V

This is A Perfect Memory's character Hiwa. I really liked drawing the pose! :D

This is MateSprite's character, but I don't know the name. Drawing the legs was pretty difficult. orz I'm not used to non-human limbs. ;u;

AND... That's all I have for you. Kind of a boring post, but oh well. Thanks for viewing! c:
