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.
