WIP Roundup

I was tagged by @taigainside and @izukillme, thanks guys!! <3

I’ve already laid out my full list of WIPs for this prompt, so I’m going to take this opportunity to talk about a few I didn’t get to touch on, as well as discussing some of my currently updating fics.

everything under the sun 

the massive, self-indulgent pastel/punk college AU I’ve been waiting to write for over two years now. I think I’m finally going to tackle it next month for NaNoWriMo (at least to try and get it to 50k, the structure and milestones might motivate me and help me along). I’ve talked about it a little before, drawn some things for it, and made a playlist, but I still don’t think y’all realize just how deep this thing goes. the logline is “Kagami doesn’t realize what he’s getting into when he agrees to meet the rest of Kuroko’s friends”, but the real gist of it is trying to capture the impact people have on each other’s lives, the wonderful weirdness of the college experience, the feelings of being young and in love... it’s the most ambitious project I’ve ever taken on, part of the reason it’s taken so long to get to the point where I can actually write it, and let me tell you *slaps roof of 14-page outline doc* this baby can fit so much self-projection in it. I’m excited and terrified and you should be too.

Full-Frontal (or, “draw me like one of your American boys”)

AoKaga nude model AU. they... say write what you know? I’ve got this one outlined and have started to draft it out, but I haven’t made any serious progress just yet. it’s just a oneshot, and it’s very self-indulgent, but it’s a nice simple project to come back to when the others get too stressful.

beards (re: playing it straight)

I’ve had the idea for awhile now of writing a real fake dating AU, in which the fake pairing never actually get together, and help each other get with other people instead. basically, Aomine and Momoi are each other’s beards, it’s a mutually-beneficial arrangement since Momoi is secretly with Riko and is tired of fending off hopeful straight guys, and Aomine is still in the closet and doesn’t want to deal with relationship advances of any kind. things get complicated when Momoi suggests breaking off the deal so she can be with Riko in the open, but Aomine is still in denial and clinging to the illusion, despite having finally met someone else he actually wants to be with.

worst kept secret

part of my Aomine/x collection... there is no plot whatsoever, the only thing you need to know is the working title for a long time was “the glory hole fic”.

Crazy = Genius (+Balls To The Walls)   

I’m planning on writing an Aomine/Oikawa crossover someday, just you wait. these two titles refer to what would essentially be two parts of the same concept, the first from the alternating points of view of Momoi and Iwaizumi, who are at turns completely baffled and weirdly understanding of Aomine and Oikawa’s nonsensical relationship. the second would follow the boys themselves, and show exactly what kinds of insane scenarios they get themselves into. 

The Night We Met

the AoKuro time-travel fic nobody asked for, inspired by a song of the same name by Lord Huron. in the middle of Aomine’s post-Teiko slump, he’s suddenly transported back in time to the moment he and Kuroko first met. he’s then forced to essentially relive middle school, with all the memories and knowledge of how things will eventually pan out still intact. I’ve got this one about half done already; it should be around four or five chapters long by the time it’s complete, I’m just trying to wrap up one or two existing fics before I publish any more WIPs.

and speaking of wrapping up existing fics...

Hoist the Colors

the AoKaga pirate AU I started to take my mind off being trapped in quarantine, after binge-watching the entire Pirates of the Caribbean series back to back and listening to the soundtrack for several days. chapter one (out of five-ish) is already completed, and I’ve got a very clear outline for the rest of the story, I just need time between projects to string it together. 

Bring Me Roses

why yes I am still planning on finishing my AoKuro Florist/Tattoo Artist AU, thanks for asking! I’ve got foreshadowing and subtext to follow through on and more flower symbolism to write, I can’t just leave it hanging forever. I’ve got about half of the second part already written out, and I know exactly where it’s going, I just kind of lost steam somewhere in the middle and have to find the motivation to pick it back up.

I’m tagging: @bakugoukatsuki-rising, @hybristophilica, @meiyanaalexia, @hadenxcharm, @spaztictwitch, @homiro and anyone else who’d like to give this a go!

May the Horizon Bring Me You

@oikawararepairweek Day 4: Space or Mermaids/Pirates

Tooru was not sulking, no matter what Iwaizumi or any of the others said. It had only been a month since the Iron Wall had disappeared over the horizon, not enough time to work up a good enough sulk.

Even if Aone had promised he would be back by then.

Anyway, the point was, Tooru was not sulking. He was simply watching the sea, looking out for stray ships the way any good siren would. And if that stray ship happened to be the Iron Wall, well. Tooru simply liked the crew’s company.

He still remembered the first time he and Aone had met. The ship had been blown astray by a storm and Tooru, out on his first solo hunt, had been all too happy to lure it in toward the rocks. But then the ship had veered away. Aone, unable to hear Tooru’s song, had saved his crew and his ship single-handedly. Tooru had been impressed, to say the least, and bitter. He’d followed the ship to a little inlet where it dropped anchor and the crew set out to explore the island. Tooru had watched the captain clap Aone on the back and do something with his hands that Aone seemed to understand, though to Tooru it was just a bunch of waving and finger-twisting. Everyone on the crew had left the ship then, except for Aone.

Tooru smiled to himself, thinking of the way he had approached the ship, more curious than mad at that point. He’d gotten all the way up onto the deck before Aone noticed him, drawing his sword and letting out a bleat of surprise.

“Hey now, there’s no need for that,” Tooru had said, letting honey and sugar coat his voice. It should have made Aone drop the sword immediately. It should have. But Aone kept ahold of his sword and his wits, advancing on Tooru with a menacing look in his eye. It was the first time Tooru had genuinely feared for his life.

Aone must have seen that fear in his eyes, because he had put away the sword and cocked his head curiously. Tooru had opened his mouth to try again, but just at that moment he had heard the sounds of the crew returning. Aone saw the turn of his head and turned to look as well. When he saw the others, panic had flooded his eyes and he had unsheathed his sword again. Tooru had thrown his hands in the air just as the captain and several of the others made it up onto the deck.

“What’s going on here?” the captain had cried.

“Tell him I mean no harm,” Tooru had insisted. The captain had grabbed Aone by the arm and done the waving-finger-twisting thing again, but Aone had not relented. He had waved back at the captain, who had turned to Tooru.

“How do we know we’re not under your thrall?” the captain had asked. Tooru had rolled his eyes.

“You’d all be dead by now,” he’d said. The captain’s eyes had widened and he had waved something frantically to Aone. The conversation had gone on for several minutes while other members of the crew stood about in various states of unease. Finally, Aone had sheathed his sword and the captain had turned to Tooru.

“Why are you here?” he had asked.

“Curiosity,” Tooru had replied. “Why can’t he speak?”

“He’s Deaf,” the captain had said.

“Can you teach me to communicate with him?” Tooru hadn’t been sure why he was asking, but a part of him desperately wanted to talk to Aone, to find out more about him. There had been something soft in the captain’s eyes, like he had known exactly what was going to happen. He’d nodded and the rest of the crew had gone about their business.

It had been a long few weeks that they had docked at the island, gathering supplies and teaching Tooru how to sign. Tooru had learned Aone’s name, and the names of each of the crew, and in turn had taught them about his people. He did what no siren was ever supposed to do; he taught the human pirates how to resist their thrall. And in return, the Iron Wall made the island her home port, building up a fortress out of the trees and stone they found there.

Tooru was delighted. The other sirens, not so much, but they eventually came to accept their new neighbors, thanks to the gifts the Iron Wall brought back from far away for them. And every now and then, a rival group would follow the Iron Wall into siren waters and they would feast.

As time went on, Tooru and Aone grew close. Closer than close. With every word Tooru learned in Aone’s silent language, he found himself falling deeper and deeper.

Which was why it was so irritating that the Iron Wall hadn’t been back in so long. This was their home, wasn’t it? Weren’t they supposed to come back every now and then? Tooru huffed to himself as he stared out at the horizon, waiting for Aone to return so that he could finally tell him how he felt. There would be no more beating around the bush, no more pretending he wasn’t completely head-over-heels for Aone and his gentle personality. He would march right up to Aone and demand to be loved in return.

Or he would, if the ship would ever show up. Tooru stared at the line where sea met sky, and his heart skipped a beat. There was something there, something small and far away, but definite and true. Tooru could just barely make out the shape of a ship.

Familiar white sails broke the horizon and Tooru found himself beaming. He dove into the water and swam with all his might to go greet his love and the beginning of the rest of his life.

Oh MrBasil

So MrBasil decided to delete my Aooi account for possession of multiple accounts. 

But strangely enough, he left my WorkOfArt account alone. That's weird because I sent like 5 tickets asking him to delete WorkOfArt. Anyways, I give up, so I'm just gonna use WorkOfArt.

On a different note, I'm glad the website is changed. It still looks bad, but its better than before.

//it looks much much better. except it still can't compare to the one we had before. I wish mr/b would just revert back to the old one before he tweaked everything, sigh

//hasu: ... -gibbed up already- I didn't mind the weaksauce version of the new layout, cus the screens were on top of everything, but meh. 

//derp:... i switch basil accounts like every few months and he hasn't deleted them yet so lol IDK

[derpmarket]

BOOOO Basil Layout!

The new layout completely undermines the chat section! I know MrB has good intentions (maybe!?), but now the most publicity will go to whoever's lucky enough to have the most recent submission. And combining videos with screens just makes things messy. IMO, it should go back to how it was before. It's sad, I have a feeling the chat section will slowly wither away, 

// this is 

weird

whatejlakdkjaflajdflakjkl

what do you guys think?

//rainy: . . . . . "what the hell" was my only reaction . ___ . 

it's honestly crappy and cluttered-looking, not to mention terrible and it seems like it's been put together in a rush.

but it's just my personal opinion lol. i definitely miss the older one :'c

[derpmarket]

IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!

The new mumble theme brings tears to my eyes. I logged on and I was like !!! Eyes are shined, big wide smile on my face

WOOP WOOP WOOP, here's an hour long speedpainting with my new painting style that I mentioned earlier. 

I'm probably gonna make it as detailed as possible sooner or later, but here's what it is for now. The rest of it will be colored in after my midterms and weekend parties are done.

Got a lot more to work on for this picture but this new coloring style is really fast and helpful. 

// i like his lips and that sneer LOL

[derpmarket]

Trying out a new coloring style!

So I was coloring that Kratos-Assassin thing I drew earlier, and I thought "why am I trying to block in colors within the lines and erase the lines like an idiot?" 

I decided to try doing the whole drawing in a single layer, background included, everything is blended. Does anyone else color this way? So far I found it to be confusing at first, but the results are better than before, and gives transitions a more natural feeling, and the time taken is cut by a good amount. I think I'll finish up the coloring and submit it in a couple of days. I'm recording it for anyone who's interested. (As future reference, I record everything I draw, so if people need anything just give me a heads up)

// it's funny because i never understood the color-then-erase-the-lines process. i think lanique actually does something like that too, but idk maybe that was someone else. i just don't understand lineless coloring in general, but guys, provide some input

//hasu: everytime I try lineless, I always do the background and subject separately. But the backround is one layer, and the subject is one layer (so two layers)...because I don't get where to separate the layers so I don't bother 8D

Some Non-Maple Art?

I don't know if I'm allowed to post non-Maple art, but I just finished playing Assassin's Creed 2 (yes I'm behind a bit), and decided "Hey, let's make a crossover, mix some God of War with some Assassin's Creed and create a buff-guy assassin with a beautiful 8-pack. 

I originally did this for fun but I ended up learning quite a bit about muscle and male body proportions from this! Even doodles have their helpfulness ^^

// idk what do you guys think about non-maple art? because personally i'm fine with posting everything (and i'm especially fine with assassin's creed)

but if you think that we should just have people post MS then you know, tell me
