Is this your character? Interesting. Are you still planning this story out or have you abandoned them?

Also, woah, you've known Puck for a long time! I'd love to know how you guys met, if you're fine with sharing.

Ahhhh, holy crap you insanely-nice person, you~ ;v;
Yeah, he's (?) my character, and he's been around for quiiiiiite the while now. I think the only OCs I have that're older than him are Seth and Rouka!
But, um, yeah, anyway... he's for a novel that I haven't quite managed to let go of, though it's still pretty cliche and high-fantasy most points, but I'd still really like the chance to rip it up again and give it another go! ...I'm sentimental like that, hahaha. I still doodle the characters for this story every now and then (corryn and valkyre are also from the novel), I just need to pound out some set characters, hummmm~

And, oooooh, me and puck~ xD We met waaaaaaay back on Fanart-Central.net, in, I think it was... freshman year high school? She stood out because she read one of my stories and almost immediately started drawing me fanart, ohgosh~ ;v; I'm still so utterly baffled as to why she'd liked it so much, and I'm always unbelievably thankful for the support she always shows for me, it's really just absolutely ridiculous, ohgod~ ;c;

But yeah, holy crap you. You with your super-nice comments and your caring for other people, aslfnksfnsknk ;v;
/ASPIRES TO BE MORE LIKE YOU

THANK YOUUUUUUUUU~

I don't think that's odd at all. I still have the first drawings of my first OC(s), and I still remember how they came into being. I also want to rewrite their story. They will get their chance to "live", one day.

That's really nice how you met Puck. I'm new to the whole online-friend thing, and I'm a bit doubtful about it all, but I've already managed to make one I'm really fond of (it was a complete fluke though! It just sort of happened). Perhaps I can make more, but not many. Enough so that the goal of meeting them face-to-face one day and being able to call them "real-life friends" is possible. Making friends and being social has never really been my strong point. But who knows? Maybe I can improve.

I'm very selfish! Don't say that. X) But you're welcome.

Hahaha, well see, I guess I made more friends online because I find it easier for me to make them online? I don't know, but I get awful nervous in real life, and do lots of stupid things...

And hot damn, I want to see your OCs! O:

My.. my OCs. Erm, don't expect that anytime soon. X) They've been out of action for a long time, and all of the ideas I have planned out for art are fanworks. I should get stuff like that out of my system first, no?

But I do need to start developing my characters a bit more. I seem to conveniently forget how old I am.

That's the same for me; I get nervous and act like an idiot. I'm quite anti-social, actually. But I don't think there's anything wrong with that. That's just who you are. (channeling Lloyd Irving here, hahaha)

To be honest I kind of prefer shy/socially awkward people. When I'm around louder individuals, I tend to get jealous, overly proud, and aggressive. Of course, my jealousy and my pride are constant problems but they appear to manifest themselves more strongly around individuals who describe themselves as outgoing. I always seem to feel like they're pushing themselves on everyone around them, and, being a self-righteous butthead, I think that's wrong.

However, I think I'm the same online as offline. The thing to remember in all this, though, is that the way you see yourself is often not the way you seem to the outside world.

Yeaaah, I know that that's going to be quite the problem, and I've still yet to figure out how to handle it. D: I just really wish that I could make better first impressions on people, since I always manage to fail miserably at that... ;v;

And baaaaaw, I'd love to see your OCs, though! I'm not picky with what I get as long as I get to see more art from you period, but I really love seeing peoples' OCs and learning about their stories, so go for it! And goodness, I'm in sore need of revamping and developing my own characters more. Problem for me is, I'm so awful attached to the same OCs I've had since age 14, and they're in sore need of some development, most of 'em...
But yeah, whatever you've got to draw, go for it! As long as you draw it and show us~

Do you have any proof that you make bad first impressions? Has anyone ever explicitly told you so? I've heard that many find shy people intimidating, but other than that how would you know?

I have the exact same problem with my OCs. They're so old, and underdeveloped, and most of them (I've just realized) don't have names or distinctive personalities. But hanging around the Craic Three Stooges is rubbing off on me. I've never really cared for original characters before, and for the first time in my life I'm actually interested in yours, Shera's, and Puck's. And so, I'm starting to think about my own stories and characters too. Maybe that's the reason why I haven't been into Tales much recently. But it's a good thing.

This year is full of firsts for me. I will try to draw more but that's proving to be a very difficult promise. I'm absolutely not giving up though!

Laitma In reply to amon-jell [2010-05-17 06:26:01 +0000 UTC]

Hahaha, Craic Three Stooges. C-Can I quote you on that? xDDDDD

But yeah, I know exactly how you feel, but I'm sure that we can get through this, and I'd really, seriously LOVE to see your OCs! So draw 'em, when you get the free time! o:

And, well, I've just found that I tend to make stupid mistakes a lot in front of people. Not to mention I get pretty nervous...
I have a tendency of failing to find important handouts in class. I go up to the professor to ask for them, and they give me this look and ask me if I want the 20 other handouts that were passed out that day in class, because of course they assume that I just ditch lecture like a lot of other kids do... but which I never actually do.
...And then I go home and find the handout sitting smack dab in my folder. :T;;

amon-jell In reply to Laitma [2010-06-30 03:01:21 +0000 UTC]

Yes. Yes you can. hahaha

...You have no idea how much I've been panicking ever since you accepted my OC challenge. Even though we each only have to draw one, I realized how crusty my characters are. It's very good though. It's making me think of my stories and writing again. I want to develop my characters again. For our challenge, I'm currently having trouble deciding between the two characters I ever came close to completely developing. They're also the only two I can think of that have names! X)

Anyway. Do you think you might be being a bit too hard on yourself? Everyone does stuff like that but it's alright. Do your best to ignore the stares--they're just being difficult. You know the truth, and that's what's important.

I've been struggling with crippling shyness in university. I often embarrass myself, and I turn all red, too! I've only made one friend, and pass through my classes like a ghost; it's very difficult for me to get participation marks. But I think it's fine. I'll try again, I'll do better. You don't notice it, but everyone is going through the same thing. And if they're not... well, just remember that EVERYONE looks like shit first thing in the morning. Everyone has looked like an idiot at least once, everyone has puked, everyone has had a bad hair day.

Everyone's imperfect. And that's just fine. Be patient and forgiving with yourself and carry on. DO YOUR BEST AND THAT'S IT!

YEAH!

TOTALLY BEING FULL OF MYSELF RIGHT NOW! SOAPBOXXXX

For what it's worth, I think it would be awesome if I'd get to hang out with you one day. Maybe when you're seventy-four and I'm in my hundreds. hahaha

ffffffff no husht, you're fine! You're still such a ridiculously kind person, and so encouraging too! I actually agree with a lot of what you say; I'm also super-shy in class, so I've no hope of doing well in seminars classes even though I often love the material and the conversations we have, because I'm just too shy to speak up! I still can't quite figure out how I managed to land among the friends I did at college, honestly. I didn't talk to anyone my first two days at university, either.

And, by the way, I think it'd be great to meet you.
...Sooner than that. 8D I definitely need to drop by Canada someday and see a few other internet friends as well. I could just drift from house to house like a hobo bumming a bed to sleep in every night! 8D;;

But by the way, seriously, don't panic about the OC challenge! Take your time! I just really hope to get to see your OCs, as you want them to be seen, because I honestly just friggin' LOVE OCs. People always have such original concepts and stories for them, and it's always so much fun to hear about them! o:
