Various Planning

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: OFAV SAI Pictures

For some reason, I haven't been working on traditional art... ._. I don't have any particular sketches that I feel like inking, because I hate inking. xD;
SO INSTEAD, I've been doing some stuff on Paint tool SAI.
I've been in an OFAV mood lately, too...

....I don't really know what to say about this. I think I'm getting the hang of this whole CGing thing, though. xD;
To me, Tomato's eye looks really scary. o____o Or it did, earlier. I had drawn some lip gloss or something on his lips, but somehow it made his eye look scary. (He looked fine with it before I colored his eye! :I) I erased the lip stuff because it somehow made his eye look less scary.
(Yeah, I have no idea.)
Oh yeah, and look. It's Danny. :U

External Image
AGH, chests. Let's not look at them.
Anyways, here's how that summer picture is coming along. I think this is the last WIP I'll post of it, because I want it to be at least some sort of surprise when you open it in your backroom... xD;

YEAH. Just thought I'd show you guys what I'm working on. :U As always, thanks for viewing! :)

WIP: OFAV Summertime

HEY GUYS. I'm trying to do a picture completely on SAI, 'cause I don't think I've done that since that one TB picture. You know. That one where he's by the river. Yeah. xD; ...Oh, no wait. I did that one Franz one. ...Whatever. :M
I've been wanting to do an OFAV group pic again, and also a summer picture... so I combined them. 8D Here's the sketch:

ACK, SHIRTLESS MEN. Akioh doesn't know what she's doing and she should look at references but she refuses to because she's just being silly.
...Yeah. I hope to clean it up in the inking process. WHICH IS GOING TO BE TERRIBLE, BY THE WAY. ;A; 7 PEOPLE AGH... The inking may not be very detailed either. xD; This is going to be a pain to finish... but I've been fairly productive lately so I might be able to get it done before summer ends! :D;;;;

And yeah.. that's what I'm working on. I'm also working on a picture of Damian for this challenge. I just need to color the background. BACKGROUND! I know. It's unfathomable coming from me. Actually, I've uploaded a couple pictures with kind of simplish backgrounds recently... So I think I'm actually accomplishing my new year's resolutions from January a little. xD;

Enough of me babbling. Thanks for viewing, as always. ;D

Comic Strip WIPs: OFAV

Yeah.... I finished sketching the next two OFAV strips, but I have yet to ink them.
[click]
The bottoms got cut off in the scan. D: Oh well. There was nothing important there anyways. It's probably really difficult to read, especially the stuff TB's saying in the 2nd strip. If you need me to translate (transcribe? idk.), tell me. xD;

OKAY! SCHOOL STARTS IN TWO DAYS! Nooo...

ALSO, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARE! He's the only character of mine whose birthday I sort of remember to mention. Rick's birthday was a week or so ago, but I forgot. 8D I don't remember the birthdays of any of my other characters.

WIPs, doodles, and the like.

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

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.)

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:

xD How fun.

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

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

Professional Goals: To be a photographer
Style of Speech: When he does talk, he’ll sometimes talk in a roundabout sort of way as to avoid the actual question; he's also French, so imagine he speaks in a French accent. xD
Personality: Unbelievably boring, quiet, stoic-ish (MAYBE HE'S VULCAN? no.) (I say stoic-ish rather than straight-up stoic because he's not completely unimotional or indifferent to emotions, his normal mode is just... seemingly bored. xD;)

TB is, obviously, Tomato’s Boyfriend. He’s a self-taught photographer and hopes to be a professional photographer some day. However, because he’s never had any formal photography training, his career isn’t going too well. He currently has no real job except for selling photos at random and sometimes modeling with Tomato. He sometimes models with Tomato because photographers who are supposed to be photographing Tomato will occasionally ask TB to come in the picture as well. Why this happens is a mystery.
TB really wants to go to college.
Besides photography, TB enjoys going to the museum because it’s quiet, calming, and has art.

TB is a very quiet guy. This is partially because French is his first language, and he doesn’t like speaking English often. Usually he says the minimal amount of words needed for a conversation, but if caught on a good day, he’ll talk in a long and circuitous manner as to annoy the listener for his own enjoyment.
He usually does this to Stefan.
But he’s actually not a bad guy. He’s the kind of guy who’ll listen to all your problems instead of voicing his own opinion on the matter.
He doesn’t like Stefan, though. xD He knows Stefan’s got a crush on Tomato, so he tries to keep them as far apart as possible. Which is kind of difficult since Stefan is Tomato’s manager…
Oh yeah, TB will also occasionally slip some French into his speech.

TB has a tendency to look very… bored. He claims it’s a bad habit. As a result, people usually get the impression that TB is kind of aloof and cold. He’s actually just bad at showing emotions. His bored-ness is also shown in his clothes, which usually consists of a plain colored tee and jeans. He just doesn’t like putting effort into how he looks because he thinks it’s a little weird. (That’s another reason why Stefan hates him. :D) BUT HE’S A NICE GUY! REALLY! Tomato often brags about how romantic TB is when they’re out together.
OH, BUT HE HATES WHEN GUYS HIT ON TOMATO. Like seriously. He goes into “I’MGONNAKILLYOUJERK” mode.
Such anger is usually directed toward Stefan.

Besides Tomato, Dean is TB’s best friend. How this really happened is kind of a mystery… I guess it’s because out of all the cast, the only person willing to listen to Dean is TB. Because TB is French, Dean mistakenly calls TB “Jacques”. This is not TB’s name, but he lets Dean call him that anyways. (I guess it’s more comfortable for Dean to call TB a real name instead of… well… TB or Tomato’s boyfriend.) TB often listens to Dean talk; Dean usually talks about Leah, the girl he likes, and Mick, Leah’s boyfriend. TB is basically the only character that Dean has real dialogue with.

Lastly, TB has a fear of GETTING HIS HAIR CUT! 8D By other people, at least. His reasoning is that sharp pointy object + near his neck + in the hands of a stranger = DANGEROUS. So he cuts and dyes his own hair.

AND THAT’S THAT.
