today i redesigned my old character development graphs to make them a lot more accessible and easy to use! i've always wanted a visual resource to build the general outlines of a character's personality, so i tried to create some templates that could be used for tons of different scenarios, no matter what kind of universe your character exists in! these can be filled out in ms paint, with a multiply layer or however you choose - feel free to use and repost them for your ocs, or even use them for canon characters!!!

(edit: imgur link with hi-res images for cleaner editing <3)

below the cut is an example of how they can be used!

I've had this little idea in my head for a while now, so I decided to sit down and plot it out.

Disclaimer: This isn't meant to be some sort of One-Worksheet-Fits-All situation. This is meant to be a visual representation of some type of story planning you could be doing in order to develop a plot!

Lay down groundwork! (Backstory integral to the beginning of your story.) Build hinges. (Events that hinge on other events and fall down like dominoes) Suspend structures. (Withhold just enough information to make the reader curious, and keep them guessing.)

And hey, is this helps... maybe sit down and write a story! :)

Tuesday Tips - “Don’t just stand there!” A surprisingly simple yet challenging exercise. Try to draw as many standing poses of a simple character. Try not using props or things to lean on. It will make the exercise more fulfilling. Go through your first ideas quickly. Get those out so you can start thinking more specifically about how a character would behave or feel if he/she was cold, impatient, worried, late, hurt, angry, etc. We often forget that the whole body is engaged in expressing a feeling. Also, more technically, it forces you think of weight distribution (makes your poses more solid and believable). As always, stay loose and do it fast to surprise yourself with what you come up with.

People have told me they like how I do poses so here's how I think about them

(just rediscovered this "tutorial" from 2021 which I didn't post here. these aren't rules, I try not to use absolute wording)

EDIT: I think I mixed up concave and convex here lol ^

So here are my tips for drawing side profile views and study people’s faces! I wish I could explain more but I’m all over the place I’m sorry ㅠㅠㅠㅠ but well, I hope this can be useful for someone!

So the other day, I was thinking about the classic alignment chart, and how it doesn’t really do much for me personally since it’s more about how characters interact with systems rather than how they interact with other people

I had a minute, so I figured I’d throw something together that DID suit my needs!

(Note: This chart regards a character’s intent rather than the outcome of their actions—and for sake of clarity, here are the definitions I’m working with:

Good: concerned with the well-being the collective, often at expense of the self

Evil: concerned with the well-being of the self, often at the expense of the collective

Kind: concerned with the emotional responses of others

Cruel: unconcerned with the emotional responses of others)

I like conceptualizing things this way, cause sometimes Bad People behave with ‘good’ or ‘kind’ intentions, and sometimes Good People do things that seem ‘evil’ or ‘cruel’

Also this gives me a way to compare/contrast characters who get lumped together under the other system

EPISODE 1: Let there be light

If you made it this far, thanks so much for taking the time to read the inaugural episode of The Nexus Adventures. This is only the prologue so there will be plenty more story to come! Press On, Dear Reader!

[penofthewriter]

COMING SOON: THE NEXUS ADVENTURES

Hey guys. I am super excited to share my first webcomic this weekend, January 27 @6/7 CT! The first episode will be here on tumblr as well as on Webtoon’s Canvas (Chronicle Comics) This is a story I have wanted to make for a long time, but I’ve never felt like my skills were quite there. I’m realizing that there will always be ways to improve and the only way to find them is to get out there and do it! There may be times it gets rough but with each panel and hurdle I jump I get a little better and grow a little more. The only way forward is to Press On!

I can’t promise consistency in publishing schedules since I can only do this in the spare time I can scrounge up, another reason I have put this off. But I want to be consistent in providing updates and showing the process, so in the meantime, here is some cover art and synopsis to whet your appetite. 

Nick Reynolds has always wanted to do his part to save the world, but he never counted on becoming a superhero! When an alien, yet strangely familiar, element with an ancient history crash lands on earth, the stuff of fantasy becomes reality, and Nick has to reexamine everything he thought to be true about the world and his place in it. Will Nick be able to hang on to his future, his family, and his faith or does an even greater destiny await him?
