DIGI....VOLUTION

I think that's a good way to describe my art progress. Uh.

I would feel like a douche bag putting this on DA. Like. Reposting art. Mega lame. HOWEVER it was interesting for me, and this page is pretty much for all the stuff I don't want on my DA, SOOOO.



I tried to leave out as much Spire stuff as possible but. Like. That was a huge chunk of the year. I'm not sure that I really got much better over that time... well. Wait. I know I got better, I learned a lot of shit. But. The drawings themselves. Didn't change much. Biggest change on that bottom line, aka when I went to art college. Also when I decided to stop using color, apparently.

It bugs me that I had to put AP piece in May, partly cuz I wanted to keep it cartoon-centered, but mostly since I'm pretty sure I didn't draw it in May, but it was all from may in my DA gallery and I don't have any old art in this computer. SO.



THIS DOESNT FIT THE BLOG THEME. ITS NOT CHARACTER STUFF. OH WELL.
Feb, March, June, and July aren't my characters.

More

I drew him more. |: Messed with the design a bit. Trying to keep him from looking too much like Jack Skellington. Also still feels too vert to me. Also also I think his name is Nad. :>


Oh. This was supposed to be a height comparison. Sean is kind of short but Nad is waaaaay tall.

He describes his occupation as "professional leg-breaker".

WAAAH BOY YOU ARE SO UNATTRACTIVE.




that is all.

Ouch

Was browsing through vert-is-ninja's gallery today and ended up inspired to make a new guy. I can't tell if the inspiration is obvious or not yet...
Characters who I need to invent are like people with different body types than scrawny male and ladies, but I was in the zone so I ignored that and drew what I felt like (always scrawny men).

Ended up with this.



Still not sure what he's gonna do. I'm toying with a couple different roles he could fill up in Sean's universe. (I don't like putting people in that universe though cuz it still has no plot waaaaahh). I don't feel like I can name him until I figure out where he's gonna go. AHHH ANOTHER POST WITH NO LABEL.



I'm pretty confident that he is not upset about whatever happened to that face. Also I am so a fan of that overbite.
Also also his theme song is Poker Face. I've never seen that video till now, and I think it just makes this all better.

Jeremy's a ho

I'm writing a blog post to wake up as I await Emily's animation.


Here's some Jeremy heads. I been thinking about entering him in an OCT. Because. I am a masochist.
I guess I won't reveal too much, considering I'm not really confidant in my plan atm, but here's a few hints of what may be to come:
he's dead
he's in hell
he partakes in a fighting tournament even though he's kind of a coward pansy
and he will probably have help

I have... a thing... about entering non-fighters into fighting tournaments. CB


So, anyway, been practicing expressions. Which also very much helps getting his face and all down. (it was doing this face meme that I fell in love with Sean's face, sooooo...)
I actually am not too sure about that fierce face. He doesn't really have the balls for that much fierce. Maybe when he was new to the vampire thing, but... that was several decades ago. *ponders away*
I've been drawing him in this black peacoat with a black scarf and black skinny jeans since I randomly dropped him into that zompocalypse universe. He ate people and wore duct tape rolls as bracelets. And had a scarf and a peacoat. CB I was actually really fond of him in that universe.

He actually looks quite a bit different then when I first drew him, huh? Looks older. Everyone looks older. Actually. Since this tournament would take place later in his life than bridgeport, I guess he SHOULD look older.

Anyway, broken up cuz I figured blogger could handle it better. :/ shrug.




STILL NOT SURE I'MA ENTER SO DON'T WORRY GUYS. But it'd be a nice way to do something with him. I wonder... what this will do to his standing in Bridgeport...?

ART

So. Like. I could be working on my drawing homework. But. I'm not really feeling it. And, generally when I don't feel like doing homework, I WRITE A BLOG POST. \o/

Heeee~~ been drawing with pens, lately. I got a skinny one and now I'm ink-happy. CB
So I drew a page full of Seans moving without restricting myself with things like logic or physics (because that's pretty much the definition of easy drawing for me) and then inked a bunch of them. EXCITEMENT.

I think the city I drew for drawing class is going to be where Sean and Jim live. There's Sean jumping off a building with a lightsaber. Fuck. Yeah.
(Also, I was listening to Paper Planes)
That's not a scanner fuck up, that's the edge of the pages. :|




AND NOW FOR THE FANCHARACTERS
They won't leave me alone as of late. I really gotta do something with them. Maybe a comic. Somehow I think I can motivate myself better to drawing a comic than to writing a fic. Plus. It's more worthwhile.

Anyway, a page of Elles. Was inspired by listening to Flogging Molly, tee hee hee. The one at the top with the floppy hair is him when he was younger... like, thirty I think?... with his GIRLFRIEND. Who dumps him cuz he's a coward HA HA.

Still gotta work on drawing him properly.


Aaaand here's some first sketches of some characters. Carnet's the lady with the proportions that don't make sense because I can't draw women. She... in her preDesian days lead a gang-thing of half-elf ladies. The sketchychibi girlies on top are some of her ex-followers/fangirls.
And the dude at the bottom is a very very first sketch of her boyfriend, who's name is Ayres and who is not nearly as badass as Carnet is. He was not a gang leader. In fact, I'm not even sure he even ever lived with humans. Hang on. I'll check. Oh. Lawl. He's from the same half-elf town as Elles. He's also quite old. SO LIKE I WROTE DOWN HOW OLD EVERYONE WAS AND WHERE THEY CAME FROM DON'T LAUGH AT ME. I like making up half-elf ages because they can pretty much be whatever the fuck I want. :>


FFFF WAIT. THIS ISN'T ORIGINAL. THIS. THIS IS TRUE FANART.
(left to right, top to bottom is Rodyle, Kvar, Kvar, Pronyma, Magnius, Kvar again, Forcystus. I didn't invent them)
Gotta learn to draw the Grand Cardinals if I'm gonna make a comic about Desians. Kvar's become the most fun, although I'm still not quite happy. I'd think he'd be in it most, seeing as how all the main characters are from his ranch, but he... dies. :/ Dammit, Lloyd.
I guess Forcystus will do the most. His hair irritates me... i liked the drawing so much better without the hair. xD Annnnd yeah Rodyle and Magnius won't be in it much at all. Magnius dies elsewhere in the first chapter. Dunno bout Pronyma, but I RUHEALLY need to learn to draw her properly. ffffailboat.



Nrrr I still don't really feel like drawing. Nrgh. Ngh. Nugh. FFFF.

Plot Meme


I'm totally avoiding doing my homework right now. I have so much to do it frightens me to think about it.

I think... I actually haven't put up one of these long memes yet. THAT'S CUZ I DON'T HAVE THE ATTENTION SPAN TO FINISH THEM OLOLOL. Probably you have to click on it to actually read it...
Still wanna put this on DA, but I'll clean it up and color it and make the words actually readable and whatnot. My handwriting sucks ass. 8D

ANYWAY A MEME FOR PLOTS. From DeviantArt, blank is here. Actually, it was really mostly for characters within the story, not so much the story itself. I guess I may have answered some questions wrong... oh well. In searching for the blank I found one that is totally better that I wish I'd done. FAILBOAT.
THIS PLOT HAS NO NAME yet. Been waiting for inspiration to strike. For like three years. ffff. But it's about superheroes and terrorists. In a nutshell. And I do love nutshells. 8D


(HM download's not working for me? Oh well. DA, someday.)

If you're someone who's watched my da for a while... or if I've explained this to you (i think that's just janet, actually...) you'll notice that Jin got promoted to second main character, that Ishmael's life got a lot worse, and that I still hate Elli TEE HEE.
I think I'll hold off the explanations till DA. They're only necessary occasionally anyway.



Ohhhh the names in that tag cloud are all gonna get BIGGER \o/

huckabilly-17

Okay. So the story is about a bunch of unknown bands touring the country that end up getting tangled up in a mess of demons and vampires and monsters and what have you, possibly involving the end of the world. It's also meant to be a lighthearted sort of dark comedy. Since I know very little about mythology and the apocalypse and basically nothing about music, I should probably research some before I get to deep into it. :I

Anyway, I think Atticus has become kind of the main character. Which I guess makes his band Huckabilly-17 kind of the main group? They've got a close second, and then a mess of lesser characters.
But, yanno, can't develop plot till you've got great characters. Finally wrote 17's drummer and NOW. NOW THEY ARE COMPLETE

Left to right to bottom: Tango, Atticus, Huck
Drums, vocals/lame guitar, real guitar. I like tiny bands C:
At the moment I like Tango best because his face is SO MUCH FUN TO DRAW. Also just designed him so he's new which is also fun.
And Huck needs the most work. :/ Drawn him, like, three times. This pic makes him look like my speech teacher from last year, for some reason... which is weird.
Er. And Atticus is golden. He's been a character since, like, middle school.
ANYWAY MORE TANGOS
Let's see. Tango. His full name is Sang-Ho Lim (he's a fucking american, here we put first names first), and the nickname Tango is because his white boy bandmates (read: white chick creator) prefer to mispronounce it a bit. He really was born in the US. He's the oldest but doesn't act like it. Still has that rebel complex that kept him from going to college back when pretty bad. Likes partying. But is still a mega dork. Has the most formal education in music of the band. Has a pet birdy that he leaves with Atticus' mom and calls too often. :I Likes experimenting with every kind of instrument. Att and Huck came to Wyoming to recruit him after becoming bffs over the internet. Is twenty three and five foot seven, which makes him pretty small beside his bandmates. Has had a mohawk thing for, like, five years. FFF random facts are random.




Still not sure where this story is going, but I like it. It's also the only universe where (so far) Mikey exists but doesn't die. \o/
Okay. Now I really need to write that paper. BACK TO HOMEWORKLAND

Newwww guy

And also a Tee:



H'okay. So. New guy. Drawing his hair I kept thinking of Elise's Castor, which made me nervous. I guess it's just the hair and the hat, though.
He's really not a new guy... well. He's based of a character who's been haunting my brain for years, but who I've actually never drawn. But, yanno, while drawing him he started creating a totally new plot around himself. I'm not quite sure what he is, yet. Some sort of demonic hell lord thing that no one likes. I do know that he's looking for the... antichrist who isn't actually the antichrist but is... er... yanno, how bout I figure this story out before I try and explain it.
The story is the same as the one that those two dudes are from. It's a lighthearted sort of goofy story about monsters and demons and the end of the world and stuff. And indie bands.

Anyway.
Actually, he's supposed to be one of those no-eyed characters, but in all these heads he's got an eye showing. Heee. Also he doesn't speak, so he rarely opens his mouth, so I put some fangs in there. 8] LOGIC.

Also he also shapeshifts. He's sort of the uber powerful character of this story. I think I'll end up working in some of that old RP character who I didn't get to use much of but fell in love with and never was able to fit anywhere else. :> Here he is harassing Atticus. But as a bird. My eraser smudged Att's eye, so I bruised it. Tee hee.
The text is me playing with a way of showing him talking with his brain versus his mouth.

Here's the picture I meant to start with. Also Mandi tries to draw dogs. FAILBOAT.
Regardless of what I end up doing with this character, he's fun as hell to draw.


Oh. And no, he doesn't have a name, and he probably never will. FUCK what do I tag this as??

More meeeeeeeemes

There are three people following this blog. I'm not positive what that means. So, I still work under the assumption that everything going on here is for the audience of me and myself. I kind of prefer that, really. I do enjoy talking to myself.
But not about myself. Let's get back to the fiction, yeah?



IRL I hear it pronounced mee mee or may may, but wiki ways its pronounced meeeeem. Oh the confusion.
Put some of this on my da journal a while back, but I did a bunch more. SUPERKIDS. This is actually, in retrospect, and pretty good overview of
all the main characters. :>
The word file that contains all the memes about the superkids is mostly outdated, which is kinda sad. I gotta get my new ideas down on paper. And by paper, I mean a word file.


(Write out the names of your characters and explain

1) how you thought of their name

2) what made you create the character in the first place

3) how the character has changed over time (if they have changed)

4) any random fun fact about that character)

Ellis R Irving

1) AAAHH I searched forever for his name. He was a Mike for a while, but I abandoned him for a time and when I came back that name had been taken. We read that holocaust book in tenth grade, and the author went by "Elli" and I liked that but STILL had to search for a full name cuz Elliot didn't fit him (and, yeah, neither did the author's). Finally stuck with Ellis, unsure if it was a real name, and then read Atlas Shrugged and found it it was! 8D

2) Needed a main character. He was one of the last to be created, too. Never do that. Never create a character for a story. Create a story for a character. I'm still struggling with him.

3) He's been gradually attaining a personality. I recently made his past a little less bloohoo and a little more, uh, realistic. Still working on that, though. I still don't know how he's going to end. Appearance-wise, though, he hasn't changed at all from the first "official" sketch I did of him.

4) He likes basketball but dislikes his haircut. His grandparents got deported back to south america HA HA. He gets his Altered genes from his dad.

Pippin J Daniels

1) Good Omens. It was only used once, the girl went by Pepper I think. Anyway, I'm like THAT'S A NAME? YES.

2) The trio of main characters was kinda formed before there were actual characters in it. So, she was the lady and the side before I actually created her. She was gay before that, as well. As I recall. This was simply to keep myself from making her a hermione to Tee's ron.

3) Not much, actually. Pretty much everything she started with, I've kept. She's really supposed to a lighthearted, likable secondary character. Not too serious, thus I haven't felt the need to change her too much. I... made her a cheerleader, I guess.

4) She wore the dress to her prom; her date wore the tux. She wasn't a cheerleader her senior year, and this made her sad. She's not the responsible one of the group. She gets her Altered genes from her dad... who she's never met

Terrance "Tee" M South

1) A placeholder... T because we read "Antigone" in tenth grade and there was a blind prophet who's name was... something that started with a T... and I'm like OOOH I'LL SWIPE THAT but couldn't find a name that started with T that I really liked. Still don't like Terrance much BUT HE STICKS WITH T SO IT'S ALL GOOD.

2) All of the trio was created before the actual characters existed. So there was a blind prophet, and then there was Tee.

3) I just deleted this whole question because it was packed with spoilers. I'll just say, A LOT.

4) He has red hair, freckles, and green eyes... but he actually has very little irish in him. He doesn't like music, although his playlist is mostly Incubus. He's an asshole. He also can't see. The present. He gets his Altered genes from his mom.

Jin Sinclaire

1) I... I... I don't remember. Sinclaire just sounded like a villain name to me. I also don't know why she's the only one in the story who I call by their last name. Her first name did come later, aaaaand that just sorta fit. In roleplaying, I think. Salute to Cork.

2) Errr, they also have a long history. Has always been a villian, though. Before there were terrorists in the story, they were just an angry cyborg thing... I think. Was evil for a time, until I put thought into them. Now shares main characterdom with Elli, I think.

3) Yeah, has been becoming a better and better person. As soon as I started putting thought into them they refused to be evil. Really, a perfect example of a character writing themself. Ha ha ha... Something that hasn't changed is they've always had some form of gender issues. Also I believe was always arabic...

4) Apparently I can't decide on which pronoun I want to use for them. Good thing the final work will be visual and not written HA HA. An idealist, and good with rallying/encouraging people, but is also an extreme social retard. Lectures too much. Has an irrational fear of zombies. Gets her Altered genes from her mom... kind of. I have a lot of trouble drawing them on a tablet.

Ishmael M Jarvis

1) It's a name I've always wanted to use. I was reminded of it by my International Issues teacher when she explained religions to us... at the same time my boy was being resurrected. Btw, I totally just made up his middle name right now. Aren't you excited?

2) Ah ha ha ha ha... okay. Okay. So I had this crazy idea for an akuroku fanfiction. It involved some sorta vampire-cannibal-things. Time passed, and I'm like "hey, let's make this original". Then I dropped it 'cuz it was lame. Then I found doodles from it a year or so later, just about the time I was bringing forth new characters for the SOS universe, and he was reborn AGAIN, hopefully for the last time. I really don't remember how he got to be co terrorist leader.

3) Obviously. A lot. He used to be Roxas. Pfft. Then he was still unfriendly and being chased around by a gay high schooler. Then he was a terrorist. Then he got a personality, became naive and intelligent and clueless. The latest change being the JinIggy relationship. I don't remember how that came to be, actually... it just worked, I guess. Really, the only things that haven't changed are he's always eaten people, he's always been strong, and he's always been short.

4) He has a twin sister and a younger sister, who he's pretty sure aren't Altered like him. He's also pretty confident that he has one or more half-siblings, because his dad was a whore. He gets his Altered genes from said whore.

Constantine Zhu

1) Pfft, it's a bitchin' name, guys. OH I REMEMBER from that awful vampire book about the cinnamon rolls (like I said, awful) Janet lent me. That was the vampire's name. They called him Connie at times and that's how I fell in love. Note that my original Constantine was quite a bit older and it fit him at least somewhat better.

2) UHHH I had a dream about him. YEAH REALLY. He was much more sad and friendly then. ...actually, I got Shaun from a dream too. Huh. Anyway, when I woke up and doodled him, I ended up taking that doodle and making Sheremy the zombie HEE HEE. Still, an explosive boy. I think he gave people cancer in the dream. Oh so heroes.

3) But so long as he's been in this story, he's been angry and burning things. Actually, he really has changed very little. His age has changed around numerous times. I'M STICKING WITH THIRTEEN AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO CHANGE IT. Oh, he became chinese. Half. I guess. I only recently realized he's the villain.

4) He calls Shaun “mom” in attempt to be an ass. Mom tries to get him off energy drinks instead of getting him off killing people. He thinks spiders are awesome. He's Canadian... although he hasn't been to said homeland in eleven years. His Altered genes are from his dad. The shoes I draw him in are the ones Ben wore in junior year TEE HEE.

CONDUMP

HAI CONSTANTINE
You know. Your name really is quite silly. Has anyone ever met a real person named constantine before? It must be your canadian mother. I'm going to blame your canadian mother.
The fact that he's the only TRUE villain (the one who doesn't switch sides or question right and wrong) and is also a pimply asian preteen makes me so happy.
So.
Happy.


Also he's actually thirteen now and I'm not going to change it. So nvm that preteen business.

Lack of caffeine causes migraines.
Migraines prooooobably cause a good chunk of Con's blowing shit up. The other chunk being caused simply by hating the world.


I really have fun drawing Con making faces that aren't angry. The problem is he usually doesn't make faces that aren't angry.
Also I'm trying to make Shaun look like less of a pussy girly loser. WEAR THAT EYEPATCH LIKE A MAN. Problem: eyepatches = pirate. Always. People in his apartment building must be wary of him. Which is funny because no matter how much I man him up, he's still a pussy girly loser on the inside.

I wasn't trying for this, but I like that he looks older now. He looks thirteen to me. Does he look thirteen to you?
I am immensely satisfied.




Trying to get together enough doodles to throw out some nice ref sheets. Like that Iggy one, remember? Uh...
....
here

...
wow, i want to redraw this. Improving is great except when stuff you like gets ugly in, like, two days.
Or a year. Wow, this is a year old. Dammit, time.
Anyway, like this ref style, want to replicate it for all the superkids. And THAT'S my mini goal.

REVITALIZE

The amount of Symphonia references on this page really is disgusting.

Now that I'm through with the Spire I've been doing this brainstorm thing again. AND OH WHAT STORMS MY BRAIN HAS BEEN CREATING. Wonderful, really. Happiness.

I'm pretty sure there are no spoilers on these pictures. xD



Went back to these two MEGA old characters, Skylar and Findlay. They've always fit into the superkid story... but they've been sitting in a corner gathering dust for AGES. Last night determined that Skylar has fluffy flouncy hair, likes dresses, and is called Lars... by Findlay anyway. Also how they fit into the universe better.
Fun fact about Lars: she was a man originally and for the longest time.
Anyway, design still under construction. She looks way to young, she hasta look like the mature one. But man was this a great ideadump.

Finny, though, has looked exactly the same since forever. I remember, back in the days when this story was about robots or something, he got a girlfriend, but now I can't remember where she came from or what she was like or what she did. Ha ha ha ha ha.
Skylar is his sister from another... mister.

And also there was some Elli brainstormings. I swapped around his childhood not too long ago, which makes me like him a lot more. Lindsay helped me figure details last night. HIS MOM SOLD DRUGS HA HA HA.
That haircut of his is so him, but MAN is it ugly. I just can't bring myself to get rid of it. But... who was the jerk who cut his hair like that? Really.



In retrospect, this pictures aren't really much to look at. THEY'RE SIGNIFICANT TO ME, THOUGH. Plot development ftw.
Still need a name for this story. Been waiting for inspiration to strike for three years or so, now.

Artsssssssss...

Before September gets here

Waaaaaahh I've been neglecting this blogland. And not for lack of interest, but mostly lack of time. I shouldn't even be here now, what with Spire and school to tend to.
Buuuut.
You know how I roll.

'Sides, gotta get at least something in here for the month of August. Let's fancharacter, shall we? FAAAAAAN OH HOW I WISH I COULD PUT THEM SOMEWHERE ORIGINAAAAAAL

MITHOS FELL. HEALER N' BADASS.
That's what it said in his speech bubble. xD
I don't remember what I've said about this fanfiction... but it basically follows the survivors (desians, that is) from the Asgard Ranch and how they fit into the world Lloyd and co. create. It gets pretty epic by the end, if I do say so myself. Anyway, Fell here is the only member of the medical squad that survived the ranch's destruction HA HA POOR KID. Usually he looks less like this *points up* and more like... exhausted. x3

REVITALIZE
Epic spell is epic.
This kid has freckles on his knuckles. I love him so hard.


Baw Fell, youse such a cutie.
On another note, I like naming ToS fancharacters Mithos. REMEMBER THAT ONE TIME Raine says Mithos is a common boy's name... but the only Mithos you ever meet is, yanno, the real one. So anyway, I use it a lot. I think there are... three or four Mithoses in this story. Main Mithoses, I mean. Not counting, yanno, the real one. xD

I've clung to Picco as my fave desian kid since I first started making 'em (that being several years, now, jesus christ), but... I think this boy may surpass him. Reasons I love Fell:
-He's a super nice guy. Didn't even want to be a Desian, but sorta got sucked into it
-He's a blabbermouth
-He has a southern accent DAWWW (that is, a thoda accent, but whev)
-His mom story. He didn't meet her until the desians picked him up (she'd been servin' at the Palmacosta ranch). By half-elf standards, they're the same age. TEE HEE.
-He's addicted to orange gels. HA. LAUGH WITH ME. HA HA.
-...freckles :D



I'ma put up the meme all these pics come from, someday. Soooomedaaaaay. For now, I should prolly go back to my homework. ]:

I kill them. All of them.

So when it comes to me and my relationship with my characters, there are two things that I should probably share.
One, I recycle them LIKE CRAZY. AT LEAST fifty percent of my children exist in more than one universe. Usually as side characters, you know, or even just background people who barely exist, but sometimes they can play bigger roles. Sean, for example, is a main character in his own universe and a big ole antihero in another. Oh, and they almost always travel in groups... Seth and Mikey, Jeremy and Tycho, etc. This is just what I do.
And two, I LOVE TO KILL THEM. And this... lead me to evalutation. Of just how likely my kids are to get dead in a new universe. And here it is.



First up, group one. The immortals.

These guys are completely denied the right to die. They always come in pairs, the second being much more likely to die than them. They always live in order for me to make them unhappy.
First, Jeremy, who... actually really IS immortal, and whose immortality I use to break his heart over and over again. :>
Next is Seth. Okay, okay, so I actually do have Seth's death planned... but it doesn't occur until AFTER EVERYBODY HE CARES ABOUT DIES. Seriously, it's like the pinky swear thing. Befriending this boy WILL GET YOU DEAD. <3
Ishmael. Ishmael kills and then hates himself for it. Ishmael's beloved dies. Ishmael's friends betray him. And Mandi makes him live through and beyond the whole thing. >3 (actually, this afternoon I started to ACTUALLY FEEL KIND OF BAD FOR THE POOR KID. I might let him suicide in the end. Considering it.)
And Jim. Weeeell... Jim's just a tool who I refuse to kill until he learns to stand on his own two feet, dammit.
And now group two... the unlikelys.


Well, these guys I keep alive usually but not always, and generally for different reasons than the immortals, who I just love to make miserable. A lot of my characters fit into this category, but I don't think I should mention EVERYONE ._.
Tee... well, to an extent I keep him alive to feel guilty about being an asshole. But also I let him live because, generally, he changes and sort of starts over in a less assholey life.
Claudio can play two roles. The strong-hearted victim who keeps on truckin', or the martyr. Usually I like the former, though, because it makes all the adults he interacts with feel like losers. >3
Pippin is a rare case among my characters. Pippin I keep alive because I like her too much to rid the world of her adorable silliness. That's all. <33
And Killian, even though logically he should be long dead, I keep alive because he's occasionally suicidal, and his reasons are dumb, therefore I won't let him do it right. On the other hand, when he appears in universes besides his own he often plays a sort of filler (a guy who gets eaten by zombies... a kid for when my other gays need something to fuck), and I'm much more willing to kill him then.

Now, we move on to the much more likelies.

These guys? Yeaahhh, I'll probably kill them, unless I can come up with a really really good reason not to. There are many many more in this category as well, but I only listed a few. You may notice, most of them have a friend up in the immortals...
Sean. Because in the end, he always finds himself in a situation where he's completely doomed, at which point he says "NO ONE GETS TO KILL ME BUT ME" and kills himself. :/ Also I have some gorgeous death scenes planned for him in which he gets shot in the head, usually. <33
Siiiinclaire. Is too opinionated and headstrong to ever CHANGE, and therefore must DIE. Usually killed by friends or people they trusted.
Tycho, one of my rare "good people", which will generally get them killed. Leaving behind a very unhappy immortal boyfriend.
And Constantine, who generally learns to trust or to chill or to hate less just hours before his death. Which is frusterating and sad... but also kind of cool because he dies rather happier than he lived. His Shaun I didn't draw, but he'd be up with the likelies.

And, finally...
We have Mikey, who dies in every single universe I put him in. And he's not just in two or three stories. Mikey happens to hold a place in my heart as absolute favorite, and so he's reincarnated EVERYWHERE. Let's see... he's eaten by zombies, hit by a truck, murdered a few times, oh zombie infected and thus shot in the head... Throughout his entire main story, he's only alive in flashbacks.
No, really. He is my favorite.
I don't get it either.
Is this sadism?
I'm not sure. But GAWD do I enjoy it.

more doodles

Two "new" characters... that is, they've been around for a while but I never drew them. xD
Furry alien boy~~ WITH UNICEROS EARS LOL. From the sean jim universe... has a kind of connection with Sean. The thing about this universe is that there's no plot. :/
His name is On and no mater how you pronounce it you're pronouncing it wrong. He was a very optimistic young doctor who came to ys-11 in hopes of doing good and whatnot... he is now a very bitter and unhappy doctor who wants to leave like hell but gets talked into feeling obligated to stay by his boyfriend every day. He hates everything, especially sean and the government. <3
Design is very very under construction

Aaaand Jim's dad. Along with a timeline sort of thing and the side of his wife's face ._. The only doodle of him so far that I actually like.
The amount of crazy fun I'm having with the story of Jim's parents is absolutely ridiculous. It's got excessive amounts of silly romance and gangsters and they both die in the end. <3>

SRSLY HE'S SO MUCH COOLER THAN JIM IT DRIVES ME UP A FUCKING WALL
but then, landon doesn't have all the issues that make jim so lovable. So I guess it balances.

and now it's july

Yeah, well, the spire starts up again and I doodle less.
I guess I could put up some more old memes... we'll see I suppose.
Anyhoo, here's some fancharacter.


Picco. He's toned down SO MUCH since I first made him, mostly cuz I put him in a position of great responsibility and he couldn't be a goofball anymore. :>
"gentle wind, gather before me and transform into blades of air"
... that's picco again. :/
Aaaand here's Elles. He was originally the main character. He still does important things, buuut I wouldn't call him main anymore.
HE'S A LOSER I HATE HIM but I love to draw him 8D

So I was filling out this meme, and it said "draw your character doing something they'd never do".
Yeeeah desians don't like Lloyd.
Just a silly picture. :>




Elles and Picco are FANCHARACTERS from a tales of symphonia FANFICTION I still can't let go of. D: So, yeah, some of the ideas here and also Lloyd's face aren't mine.
*swoons*

looooong meme

Claaaaaaaaudio. He's pretty much the only thing I like about his story at this point. Besides the zombies, I mean. Maybe I'll redo the whole thing and make him the main character. Just follow him wandering the apocalyptic wasteland or something. idk. His face is one of my favorites to draw. <3
This is a long one. Just a warning.



BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Historical Period: Future… probably around 2032. BTW 2021 = 1, as that’s when they restart the calendar. So, if the story does start in 2032, it’s actually year 12. That’ll be read “twelfth year after reconstruction” or something similar… AR 12?
Gender: male
Age: fourteen
Given Name (Full): Claudio Nicholas Nautzin
Meaning(s): Nautzin from Nanautzin from the Aztec god who sacrificed himself to make the world right… or whatever. Claudio is latin and means “disabled” or “lame”, apparently, which is kind of appropriate since I plan on beating him up a bit before he gets to where he wants to be. The name was swiped from the singer of Coheed & Cambria, which kind of inspires this whole apocalypse story. It’s also the guy from “Measure for Measure”, I believe, who was put to death for fucking his wife.
Ever changed name? If so, why? to what? for how long?: Well, he might lie about his name every once in a while, just because lying needs to happen in the hell wasteland thing he treks through. Idk.
Nicknames (with reasons): Claude, Claudie… you know. Lame things.
Nationality (Citizenship): American… well, he was born in what had been America five years ago but at this point was a zombie-infested chunk of hell. He is not a citizen of any of the big safe cities, which is kind of the issue.
Background (Nationality): Heee’s got some South American roots, his mom was the white everything, and no one’s really sure where he got his traffic-cone-color hair from.
Born in: an overcrowded, undersupplied high school-turned-fortress where around a thousand people where trying to make some sort of living and fend off the undead somewhere around New York.
Birthday: Unknown… early winter of the fifth year after the outbreak. That’s about 2017, and about the time everyone stops keeping track of time and doesn’t really restart (at one, btw) until four years later.
Birth Mother's Full Name (Maiden): Nichole Eschert (father was Nicholas, btw, where Claude’s middle name comes from)
Birth Father's Full Name: Anthony Nautzin
Other Parents: Not exactly related to Claudio, but Anthony was married and had two kids before the zombies came and ate his whole family (along with most of the rest of the world). He and Nichole get it on a couple years after and make a Claudio, although they’re never actually legally married… oh, that’s just because legality is hard to come by in the zombie apocalypse. Anthony’s quite a bit older than Nichole, btw… fifteen or so years. Anyway, he tells Claude about his old family every once and a while, and Claude kind of enjoys hearing about them.
Siblings: Again, two half-siblings who died before he was born. Aside, though, he’s an only child. He wasn’t exactly intended, you know… I mean, no one is thinking about starting a family when the undead are trying to claw their way through their window to eat their brains.
Grandparents: missing, presumed dead. Nichole’s mom made it to that high school, but she died before Claudio was old enough to remember her. At least she got to see her grandson, anyway. *shrug*
Mother Tongue: english
Fluent in: that’s it
Parents are fluent in: His dad knew bits and pieces of Spanish that he hadn’t used in thirty, forty years.
Eye Colour: Left brown, right blue
Skin Colour: pale, windburned face, a bit pimply and scarred here and there
Hair Colour: this bright Roark orange. Fucking traffic cone orange. <3
Natural Colours? If not what is?: naturaaaal
Freckles: Here and there
Birthmarks: none that he’s aware of: they blend right in with the scars
Beauty marks: no, I swear I never curse characters with beauty marks
Moles: not the same thing?
Scars: cuts and scrapes all over his hands and arms and face and knees… torn up left ear and poorly healed left hand… chipped front tooth… newest gash in both hands that probably won’t quite be healed when he meets Danny
Tattoos: none
Other skin marks: Pretty much always has a fresh scrape or something somewhere. Chews on his fingers like mad, which tears them up pretty bad.
Face Shape: oval
Nose Shape: pointer than I usually go, but not as impressive as Seth’s. :<
Eye Shape: a little narrower
State of Teeth: pretty bad. He doesn’t brush them often. He’s never even heard of braces. And, you know, he’s got that battle scar right in the front there.
Blood Type: B
Posture: tired
Physical Build: malnourished
Eyesight: pretty good: he’s spent his whole life scanning the horizon for zombies and bandits and rabies
Hearing: again, trained well
Flexibility: not really
Double jointed?: no
Middle toe larger than big toe?: no
Other Physical Quirks: about 5’5” and just over 80 lbs

PERSONALITY
General Temperament: cautious
Three words you would use to describe their personality: defensive, scared, cautious
Three words they would use to describe their personality: same, really
Self-esteem: er, not exactly something he’s made to consider. He doesn’t really feel guilty for anything, and he doesn’t exactly doubt himself either. I don’t know if confident is the right word, though.
Sanity: paranoia is kind of unavoidable when you grow up in a zombie apocalyptic country
Optimistic /Pessimistic /Apathic /Realist: a bit of a subconscious optimist
When upset: freaking out, I suppose?
When angry: usually just silently fumes, but not above hurting something. He got in a pretty bad fight with that older kid, that’s how his ear got all torn up.
When depressed: he’s not one to hold things in… he’ll certainly cry, but quietly of course. He’s just raised that way, you know? He’s a tough kid, though; he’ll keep on truckin’.
When overjoyed: small smile, maybe a soft chuckle. This is becoming less and less frequent, especially once his dad dies.
Leader or Follower?: follower… to an extent. He doesn’t like being alone, but he usually operates best that way.
Stressed easily?: hell yes. He’s constantly stressed. In an eternal state of extreme paranoia.
What do they do to relax?: not much. Collapse from exhaustion and konk out for a few hours.
What would send them into a blind rage?: Threaten his life, or someone he cares about.
What would over joy them?: Hm… a fun story, I suppose: like, a reminder that things were once better. Simple, obscure pleasant things that’ll just randomly bring him up. Blueberry muffins.
If the closest person to them were to die from an illness: That’s how both his parents die, you know. He keeps moving towards the coast, because he doesn’t know what else to do.
If the closest person to them were to be killed: He’d probably look for revenge… I’m sure his well-being would, at least consciously, be ignored to accomplish this task.
If they suddenly lost use of their legs: he’d be helpless zombie bait
If they suddenly became a vampire: I… jeez, I don’t know. I think he’d pull the old Joe Pitt, you know, hiding it and sneaking blood without killing. I mean, Joe Pitt without the badass.
If they suddenly became a were-wolf: :> He’d be a cute wolf because his eyes would be different colors. Anyway, he’d lock himself in a basement or tie himself to a tree every month or something similar.
If they woke up as a ghost: he’d look for his family
If they had one wish: his wish his whole life is to just, you know, be safe and able to relax and not worry. He kind of achieves this, but isn’t really able to fully realize it because he’s just too wired to ever just chill… I mean, he’s never in his whole life been able to feel completely safe, so it’s hard to even when he is.
If they could live anywhere: one of the really big colonies
If they were made into a toy, what three phrases would they say?: he wouldn’t be a talking toy. You’d pull his string and figure he’s broken when he doesn’t make any noise. ):
Dream Job: He’s not really familiar with the occupation thing. His dad was a firefighter, and he’s heard enough stories to decide that’s obviously the best job in the universe.
Nightmare Job: zombie killer?
View on Others (General): questionable, untrustworthy for a time… buut he does want to like them.
View on Others (Same race): no prejudices, he fears everyone equally
View on Others (Different race): besides, everyone’s the same shade of dirty, ashen grey that he meets
General Beliefs: survive
Beliefs on Poverty: doesn’t really get it... he’s never used money, or known anyone who’s somehow superior/inferior to him because of their, uh, possessions.
Beliefs on Fighting and War: well, you need to fight to stay alive, and if you have to hurt someone then that’s just how it goes. War hasn’t really occurred since before he was born, and from his point of view the reasoning behind them is a bit hard to grasp.
Beliefs on Death / Afterlife: don’t die… that’s it. Mom told him that if he was good something good would happen to him after he dies… at least, that’s how he got it: mom died when he was ten or eleven, and dad wasn’t religious, so the idea of heaven and hell kind of escapes him.
Beliefs on Money: Never used it, never needed it, will be a bit confused by it when he finally gets to the coast
Most treasured item: Mom’s cross necklace… he loves it because it was hers, and doesn’t actually have a clue as to what it means. On a slightly vaguer scale, he values every item he gets his hands on: clothing, food, equipment, he knows to appreciate what he gets.
Most treasured memory: his mom and his dad and blueberry muffins. I guess it happened, once.
Wants to forget: scary things, death, undeath… you know.
Embarrassed about/by: being a weakling
Proud of: not being a weakling
What would they say is their best quality?: Even though he’s initially untrusting of everyone, he’s not too difficult to open up and befriend. This works against him a couple times.
What would they say was their worst quality?: shyness, I guess?
Manners: hasn’t exactly been taught many, but tries to remember what he is told
Fears/ Phobias: everything
Obsessions: his saftety
Talking Behavior: don’t speak often, and when he does its scratchy and clear that he’s not used to it. He’s almost through with puberty, which doesn’t help. Quiet and sparse.
Do they like dancing? no
Do they like singing? NO THE ZOMBIES WILL HEAR D:
Do they like acting? Doesn’t get it
Do they like playing music? Doesn’t know it
Do they like creative writing? Doesn’t get it
Do they like math? It’s just another of those survival things.
Do they like science? Doesn’t really know much beyond what he needs to.
Do they like chickens?: he tried to kill a kid over chicken flavored ramen, once. :
Other Personality Quirks: one of my sweetheart characters that makes me smile but also makes me want to go write a Sean or a Jeremy really bad. :/


HISTORY
What did they look like when they were three? Small and scrawny little kid, mess of that crazy hair, super shy and suffering a constant cold, adored by everybody because there are no children around at this point. :>
What did they look like when they were eight? Very similar… bigger, gap-toothed, still shy but actually aware of why he’s being shushed all the time. He never did the childhood thing, at this point he’s pretty much the same as he is when he’s fifteen.
What did they look like when they were thirteen? Growth spurted, but stuck at 5’5”. :/
What did they look like when they were twenty? I don’t even know how this story ends… I have no clue if he even lives to twenty. Probably he will, because I don’t want to kill him. But maybe he won’t.
Their First Memory: that high school
Something they've forgotten: his grandma, a lot about his mom and pretty much every detail of religion she passed on to him, a reasonable amount of unimportant detail he makes no effort to remember. :/
Something they could never forget: mom and dad
Most frightening experience: too many to pick just one.
Most embarrassing moment: I think after he and Tycho try and kill each other
The worst thing they have ever done: I don’t think he’s done it yet.
The worst thing that has happened to them: oh, jeez. Which death? Which attempt on his life?
Worst time in their life: after his dad dies… uh, particularly before getting to the city but kind of extending for a long while ‘till maybe when he meets Danny.
Best time in their life: before his mom dies… things suck then, sure, but it’s suck that he’s grown up with.
A defining moment in the shaping of their personality: his whole upbringing in a post-apocalyptic world.
Relationships with Family and why: he loves his parents very much, but they’re both dead now :<
Where have they lived?: he starts in New York and ends in California. Everywhere in between
Education: informal and scattered
Broken bones? If yes, which ones and how?: left hand gets bashed up pretty bad by Tycho and doesn’t heal properly, nothing else though… generally, breaking a bone is pretty much a death sentence, ‘specially when he’s traveling
Are they wanted for anything?: naw, but there’s certainly no law where he frequents. When he gets to the city, he’s sortaillegally saved from deportation by Danny after he kindaillegally kicks some guy’s ass
Other important history: tba

TECHNICAL:
Why did you create this character?: for a haircut I found online and the discovery of how cool orange highlighter and black gel pen looked together
How did you come up with the name?: coheed and cambria singer… it is an excellent name. I’m naming my second born Claudio. :
How long have you had this character?: maaaybe a year?
How has this character changed since you first created them?: he was originally a sorta assholish teenager who hated people and loved his hair and also had some demonic issues. I pulled him from Bridgeport when I… I… don’t remember. When I wanted a zombie boy, I guess.
How often do you role-play them?: never
Have you ever drawn pictures of them?: duh
Have you ever commissioned a picture of them?: no
Have you ever written a story about them?: working on it
Other Comments: Yes, I do make characters purely for the sake of torturing them.

WRAPPING UP
Quote them: “It’s just me”
Final Comment: :]

a text conversation

So I drew this. Then I took a picture on my phone and texted it to lindsay, at which point we exchanged a conversation through text messaging over who would win the battle that would follow this scene - Sean or Killian's ex-gangster buddy Harper. I was amused, I copied it down, and here it is.


SEAN SHOULD NOT RAPE KILLIAN! THIS IS BAD. SOMEONE WILL DIE.

SOMEONE INDEED, BUT WHO?

IM NOT SURE!

EITHER WAY KILLIAN IS LEFT IN QUITE THE UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATION

How would he react? I mean, he doesn't want to be sodimized, but he also doesn't want anyone murdered.

Killian is very good at being understanding of those who do him wrong. That said, he prolly would be rather unhappy with sean

And while he doesn't want sean dead, I'm sure harper is higher on his "plz don't die, srsly" list

Plus, harper probably wouldn't look for kill's permission before murdering sean

Uh, no. No. however he maay feel a twinge of guilt for killian after the fact

Kill wouldn't be too heartbroken if sean's mangled corpse were found in a dumpster weeks later.

Good to know.. What about days later? hours? moments?

However, seand prolly just kill killian right there. Also in a battle to the death, seans got a jim and all harper has is a killian

No way, sean would be a challenge, a possibly not won challenge, but jim would be dead before harper even found out whether or not killian was okay. the man can't even dodge knives in his sleep. puh-leeze.

Ooh, thatd piss sean off. only HE can stab jim while hes asleep!

Well it looks like we have a pretty intense battle here. Harper has many years of rage, plus the h-is-so-angry-i-cant-even-think-of-a-metaphor rage of someone even thinking about possibly touching killian even WITH consent.

Which there was not. and sean has... an extra decade of experience killing people and irritation at losing his jim

Yeah man. Dude this sucks. I'm have a lot of faith in seans assassin abilities, and harper would probably lose, but he would pu up a hell of a fight. Sean would be pretty bloody. And jim-less.

Not really worth the killian rape, in the end. hes gotta plan his sexual offenses more carefully

O sean.
