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The word file that contains all the memes about the superkids is mostly outdated, which is kinda sad.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.

A quick one while he's away

Spiiiiiiiiire

Colleeeeeeeege

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.
