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.

WIPs, doodles, and the like.

Yeah. Random stuff. :d Just to show you what I'm working on...

External Image

A random picture of TB I'm working on... (he looks different without hair dye... :d) I'm going to practice soft shading on SAI with this picture. And backgrounds, I think...

I'm also working on the character list. I'm still in the sketching process b/c I haven't been working on it too much, but here's what I've got so far:

I think I have 14 or so more characters to sketch. I like how the OFAV team came out best. I was the laziest with the Dreams characters. xD (Obviously.)

External Image

Something I doodled yesterday. Actually, it was this morning at around 2 AM. I don't really like these kind of quotes, but I wrote it anyways...
But yeah. It's Rick without his hat. It looks more like him if you do this:
External Image
But if you do this, he magically turns into Stefan:
External Image
xD How fun.

External Image

A relationship/influence chart. Yeah. :D Mostly for my own refrence so I don't forget stuff...

External Image

Sequel to this. I'm to lazy to ink it or anything though, so I'll just submit it here. :d
Oliver is Dare's real name, for those of you who don't know.
Oliver Cromwell.
Lord protector of England.

Okay, that's pretty much it. Thanks for viewing. :D

Tegaki E blah

I drew random stuff on Tegaki, but I don't really want to clog my gallery with this stuff since it's just kind of bleh. xD; I'll submit them here, though...

External Image
Sothe.
It's been a while, man. His hair fun to draw. xD
I should play Radiant Dawn again. :M

External Image
HAHA. Moving on.

External Image
Tim and his mom.
...Yeah, it's pretty sloppy. xD I sort of drew this just so I'd be able to put 3 picturs in this post. 3 IS THE MAGIC NUMBER! 8D
But yeah.

THAT'S ALL! I just woke up... sorry for my lack of enthusiasm. xD

Mini Comic Sketch

I'm drawing a 2 page comic of Stefan and Gabe. :D I've actually been wanting to make a comic-type thing with the OFAV characters since I don't normally get to do this. (OFAV is all 4-panel comics.)
So yup. Here's the sketch:

External Image
External Image

HAHA. So corny. xD; But that's the way I am. :M
I really like the first two panels on the first page. :,D But the 5th and 6th panels on that page...
Maybe I'll ink this one day. When I have the patience...

Stefan is Tomato's manager. 8D He's easily annoyed, and Tomato's non-stop talking usually bugs him like crazy.
But somehow he has developed an awkward crush on Tomato. He denies it completely, though... mostly because of the 9-year age difference between Him and Tomato (he says it'd be like a 12th grader dating a 3rd grader. xD;), and because Tomato is usually annoying. He hates Tomato at times because he's so annoying. He also gets aggravated with Tomato's naivety and stupidity. His crush on Tomato is mainly based on physical appearance and the fact that Stefan's around Tomato so much.

He also hates Tomato's boyfriend. :0 Because he's JEALOUSSSS.
...Secretly.
But seriously, he is. Stefan always tries to prove he's better than TB, so he's extra proud and show-off-y around him. He'll also take any opportunity to insult TB. They have kind of a frienemy relationship, though; they actually both like fighting with each other. xD I guess? It's difficult to explain.

Stefan is always stressed due to overwork. He does most of the work required for Tomato's photography gigs and whatever. He's also stressed about his emotions and whatnot, especially over Tomato and Gabe. As a result, he's developed drinking problems. D: He drinks because he hates thinking about things, and would rather just have his problems disappear from his memory rather than try to solve them. He's often oblivious to his own feelings. (ie: he ignores them.) This is obvious in his relationships with both Tomato and Gabe. I guess it's more prominent with Gabe, though. He has obvious feelings for Gabe, but fails to realize it for some time...
And by then, everyone already knows. Hoho.

Gabe and Stefan have a weird relationship. :I If you read Gabe's character profile, you'll know that he's a big flirt and pervert. That annoys Stefan. Oh yes. He also doesn't think Gabe is serious about him since Gabe's such a big flirt. Although, Stefan does like Gabe for keeping him company and talking to him and stuff. Most of the other characters pay little attention to Stefan b/c they figure he's too busy.

FASHION IS STEFAN'S LIFE.
For sure. xD
He's extremely serious about his job. The people he works with usually think it's funny how serious he is. 8D
He used to be a photographer, but now he's Tomato's manager. :0 Yay. He secretly wants to be a model, though.... So he's somewhat jealous of Tomato about that. He figures since he does all the work, he should be the one being photographed.

AND THERE.

Thanks for reading again.
It's a lot longer this time around...

A whole ton of random stuff

Okay. I scanned like, 12 pages from my sketchbook. BECAUSE IMOUTO CHAN WANTED TO SEE SOME RANDOM DOODLES. And I had some lying around.
Idk how many images are allowed in a world post, but I'll put as many as I can and the rest will be links. xD;

External Image

I haven't posted these yet, have I? :/
Anyways, these are the pages I used for planning Kor's design. It took 3 pages. "orz Just because I'm really indecisive about things. xD; As you can see, he originally had this really ugly green vest-shirt thing. It was weird, so I changed it to a jacket. :d
....you know you want a shower lamp.

External Image
I posted the top picture of Damian earlier. :U
BUT REALLY, WHAT IF DARE AND RICK HAD EACHOTHERS' PERSONALITY? To me, characters who look like Dare usually have Rick's personality and characters who look like Rick usually have Dare's personality. But that's probably not true. xD

External Image
I drew this at the hair salon while waiting for Takara. :U Stefan is fun. but his face looks weird here. :I
Oh. Takara drew that scary thing on the bottom. Apparently, it's my VERY OWN DBZ OC! (idk. xDDD)

External Image
Tim's mom, Cassidy Ackart. This has spoilers for A Life Like This, I guess. o3o

External Image
I uploaded the colored thing to my portfolio. :0 It was on this doodle page in my sketchbook. xD
LOOK CLOSELY...
That's Segran's catch phrase. I think I've said this before... :I

External Image
More Stefan. This time in normal clothes, beacuse I was bored. xD; HIS LEGS ARE SO LONG THOUGH...
And yeah. Stefan is secretly a tennis pro.

External Image
Sketch of Luli. :D It's not done yet, though.

External Image
Dare and his female self, Truth. xD In RB:SI, she's a rabid Dare fangirl. :U (who knew he had those. xD)
Truth looks very similar to Dare, so here's some sure fire ways to tell them apart:
Truth's a girl, so she has a chest. Duh. xD She also wears a skirt instead of jeans.
If only her head is seen, Truth wears a stud nose piercing, while Dare wears an actual nose ring. Truth also wears hoop earrings, while Dare wears studs and sometimes safety pins (?!?!). Oh yeah, and I draw Truth with eyelashes and slightly longer har. :D SO THERE.

Sketch of Rinchu and Segran. The mysterious figure on the bottom is going to be Segran. xD
Idk how to draw butts. o3o

http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e153/takarafox/akiohs%20album%20of%20junk/img097.jpg
LAST ONE! This is my most recent sketch. I was bored, so I drew Shinitsu. :d What I was talking about on the top of the page is how the Japanese katakana character "shi" and "tsu" look like smiling faces, which is weird because Shinitsu is always smiling.

OKAY THAT'S ALL.
I NEED TO CLEAR THE DISHWASHER.
Sorry for all the random. xD;
