little dreamer kyandi synopsis and goals

 hi friends! today i'm going to talk about my main story, Little Dreamer Kyandi!

:-)

in terms of media presentation:  if it's going to be a comic book series-- or an series of animated short films--  is still something i'm working out.  i like to think i am more comfortable working with animation, but i am still doing comics a lot of the time, so i dunno. right now i'm thinking it's probably going to be a comic book first, then a series of animated shorts if i get better at animation. (i can animate-- to an extent! i'm still learning  of course!) (you can find some animation tests and other projects on my  youtube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG8KOxFD6iWb4M2kPcrWDQQ)

it's about a girl named Kyandi who has weird dreams when she goes to bed at night, where she is transported to another world called Unity. it's about her life growing up and dealing with challenges, and how Unity and the magical dream world helps her cope with her depression.

 

if i were to put a genre for Little Dreamer Kyandi, it would be:

- escapism 

- fantasy

- slice of life

 

themes presented in Little Dreamer Kyandi:

- sad themes

- coping with mental illness

- escape from reality

- peaceful days

- romance, LGBTQ+ romance included

- daily life of the characters

- bittersweet

- overall hopeful, somewhat optimistic morals/messages while still keeping it real

first of all, here are some drawings of Kyandi! (i have done over the years!)

way back in early 2000's (can't remember exactly):

nowadays:

i have made many characters so far. some of which i don't even have names for yet...!

 all characters in Little Dreamer Kyandi i can remember to date:

- Alice Heartfelt

 

- Aka Yamashita

 

- RimRim 

- Jade 

 

-  Lunaris (alt Jade)

- Momo / Jelly Heart

 

- Dark Sorceress

NUDITY AHEAD

(for the people who don't like seeing naked people???)

here are some drawings i did today and notes i made about the creatures in Unity

ok, so..my brain hurts today so i can't write much else.

this story is in the writing stage, i am still writing the outline for it! but i am also drawing all sorts of drawings for it as well.  my goal is to make this a finished comic at some point.

thanks for reading!

life update yahoo!

         

 

hi! it's me, tiny apples! today i am going to write about a life update.  let's get started!  yahoo!

COVID-19 sucks, but i'm not going to let it stop me from enjoying my daily life and doing projects.  i'll do anything i can to get creative during the quarantine period! also, i wear a mask wherever i go!!!! (a lot of people also forget to wear mask over your NOSE!!! i always remember to do that as best i can. if the mask isn't covering your nose, it won't keep you safe properly.)

 

currently, i have been working on a project where i think of ideas for cute clothing and plushies. i also try to sew, and draw product ideas. currently, i've been doing all of my illustrations/drawings/comics on my ipad. as well as animations, if i have the energy to work on them. :-) the ipad is working pretty well...!

i have thought maybe my style (for art, clothing/fashion style, general style) is like a mix of bright color aesthetics (kidcore, rainbowcore, etc) (although i don't really like kidcore all that much/not a big fan of the term sometimes because of the general stigma of the community, not saying it's bad, but it can be a little........cringey....sometimes...sorry.....i hope i don't upset you if i say that....by cringey i mean, it's-- not much about art or aesthetics as a whole in my view, it's very...ugh idk. i feel weird about saying "kidcore", yet i also don't mind it as well...so it's weird.) + with soft aesthetics (pastel, kawaii, etc) (i love cute things!) with certain motifs, and frogs are definitely my spirit animal at this point.  geez, frogs are so cute. i love frogs so much!!! FROGS!!!

 

 (tbh i have NO IDEA how to define kidcore haha. also i don't know why somewhere inside me it feels like a weird thing to say........i guess i'm just anxious about it even though i generally like the aesthetic.)

(in my view, the better term for bright colored fashion would be "decora-kei". decora is much more easier for me to say.) (and YES, i love Japanese fashion!!! especially decora!! ahaha...)

so, recently, i've been thinking a lot about how to make my clothes more colorful, and i feel like i should start a "capsule wardrobe" but with things i really like, clothes that genuinely make me feel good and that i like.  i would be really interested in sewing some of my own clothes.  when i figure out how to do that properly, i'll let you know! i'm currently doing a lot of research on clothing design, patterns, how to sew, sewing machine, etc.

also, i've been playing an insane amount of animal crossing. :^)

i have made (on my switch lite) a soul eater themed island, which i plan on sharing soon! i am currently making a video about it.

 

(Kiddo!!!!! love my boy)

also, besides bright colors, soul eater and obviously death the kid will be added when i make clothing, as well as plushies and other sewing projects. my general aesthetic will include my favorite things, and i really like soul eater. so yea!

also i drew a lot of drawings this week!

here are some examples of things i was working on!

thanks for reading this short update!!!!!!! 

goodbye!!!!! :^)
