Character design of Amari, the Vampire Kid. I might start a 4-panel comic series about him and his little adventures.

I like it when vampires are depicted as horrible monsters, hence his true form.

I’m hungry, so I drew an OC eating a hamburger.

Some sketches I made of an old/new character named Blake for a comic I was planning to make. He’s not supposed to be recognizable when his hair is down.

I have too many projects planned, and none are getting done. I’m so sad. :C

Rough sketch of Ivan playing his violin for my new visual novel. [reference] I might use this as a promo image after I give him clothes, ahaha.

Ivan’s the sensitive type. I’ll admit I kinda modeled him after Alois from Amnesia: Justine because he’s my favorite among the Suitors (even though Malo is the one who plays violin, lol). Anyway, I really like the violin. I’m glad I found a sound clip I can use on freesound.org for it, so there’s something exciting.

New character for yet another new visual novel story I thought up and began developing. Her name’s Josephine.

I really want to write horror after watching so many horror game playthroughs, ahahaha. I’m not really feeling it with Rosbach Manor lately, so I’m going to try making a new story. I hope that I can write it well. My stories apparently have predictable endings or something.

Current mood.

Some days I just get depressed, but not enough to cry. No matter how much I want to, I just can’t. It takes a lot for me to shed tears, to be honest. No matter how unreasonably sad I am, today wasn’t bad enough to draw tears from my shriveled up tear ducts.

So I draw them instead.

Sketch for our group’s poster. Our title has something to do with compliance and knowledge of hand hygiene, so here’s ~~me because of a lack of models~~ a student nurse being amazed with how clean her hands have become.

I guess I am a bit dramatic.

Draft of Molly for Runemoon’s Swimsuit Contest tomorrow.

I had to browse through a lot of Victoria’s Secret swimsuits to get that design. Those models make me feel like a fatass lol. /cries forever

Rough sketch of Lillian and Chelsea in this rp group. They became friends, it’s great! C: Characters I rp are capable of making friends! I got excited so I drew this…

~~Don’t judge me. /sobs~~

I finally finished the flat colors on his outfit. I want to give up already…At this size I realize that I don’t really like the way I colored his face, so maybe I’ll practice some cell shading instead.

And my indecision shines through once again! OTL

More of Mickey’s progress. Why do I do this to myself?

I changed his outfit a bit. I think he looks much better now. Off to color~

~~Overdue~~ sketch of Mickey in his Spring Ball outfit.

I like his hair, but now he looks older than he should be… orz

Alright, I finally decided on this layout for the first main menu. I’m going to delete the others now, so the spam will disappear~

Thu, 17 May 2012 18:18:00 +0800

What I’ve been trying to figure out the whole day. ~~Lol they’re naked.~~ I’m still thinking about the title, because “15 Roses” isn’t that important, to be honest. xD And I don’t think “Grampa’s Love Life” makes an appealing title for an otome game. I might just go with “Rosbach Manor” as the title…So much for being clever. orz

That would make this the 3rd time I’ve changed the title. Yay~ /tosses confetti

I made an assessment of where I stand with 15 Roses:

Thu, 17 May 2012 14:39:23 +0800

Story: Planned and currently being outlined
Script: 1/4 finished with Day 1, since Damon’s and Alex’s intros are more or less done; currently working on Myles’s intro
Character Designs: 5/11 characters done
Sprites: Nothing final; poses are still being decided upon
Backgrounds: Most have been chosen, they just need to be drawn/painted
CGs: Haha
Music: Collection of free sources, will add as I see fit
Programming: Text box completed; still need to make menu buttons

Oh yeah, progress. orz

Taking a break from writing to make the main menu page. I think I’ll start a separate development blog for this game as soon as I finish the main characters’ sprites. ~~I’m gonna reblog everything I put on this there lol.~~

Wed, 16 May 2012 20:22:43 +0800

Okay, I think I finally got his design down. Here’s Dr. Myles Ross~

His look is loosely based on Flynn Rider from Tangled because I wanted to draw a character with a goatee. C: He’s kind of like him personality-wise as well, mixed with Dr. Shamal from Reborn! because I wanted a flirty/pervy type to be among the love interests.

I also managed to draft poses for the other guys. Yay progress~ I’m one step closer to formally announcing the game’s plot, which I’m really anxious to do because I want to see the reception. C:

Wed, 16 May 2012 13:00:00 +0800

Trololol Damon’s such a midget. I tried to capture their heights as Lloyd at 6’3”, Damon at 5’9”, and Alex at 6”. Maybe you can guess their personalities from their faces, haha. I also changed the text box, I think it looks cooler now than before.

Let’s see, I still need to fix Dahlia’s hair, and draw the last love interest as well as the old lady…Far from being done. Actually, I only have Damon’s poses and expressions completed from a long time ago, but I have to redraw it now. TTUTT Back to work now…

Wed, 16 May 2012 04:39:21 +0800

The gardener love interest Lloyd. He’s the shy type, I guess. According to my notes at least, but when I start to write, the character tends to change. Why?! ;u; Anyway, I just finished Damon’s and Alex’s intros, so Lloyd’s and the other love interest’s are coming up. I think they’re going to be tough to write…I just get this feeling… orz

Btw, I changed the title from “Rosendo” to “15 Roses.” And I need to redraw Damon’s sprites, my style has changed for the better. Work, work, work~

I want to hurry up and finish some art so I can make a website for the game, heehee. Priorities, I have them. >u>

Mon, 14 May 2012 18:03:14 +0800

jo-nah:

Main character Dahlia sketch, because my style has evolved from the last time I drew her. I still like her color scheme, but I think I want to give her shorter hair because long hair is a pain to color. =u= At the moment, I’m trying to think up a good group picture of all the characters.

LOL I put this in the wrong blog. orz
