Welcome to the Evening Exhibits for Day Two of C3. We have quite the entries today, but lets start with a bang, shall we? The first one will be a series that was long put on hold, but is finally making a return:
Rumor has it that the lost hero's weapon still remains hidden on Meta-Nui. The sacred sword was preserved in the event that a new threat would rise, and it has been kept in secret since. There is also the additional possibility that the sword has somehow developed an alterantive version of itself, one that holds the essenve of the fallen evil. This powerful tool was given the name "Meta Sword", but because the only method of obtaining the sword was written in the book of the past, it's well possble it will sleep for all eternity.
Legend has it that if the sword were to be awakened, ten new heroes will come to claim it. But a vast army of villains who serve under the Moon, the Lunites, will fight for the blade as well. In the event that the moon-touched claim the Meta Sword, chaos will reign, and the fallen will return to this world.
The ten heroes who will be given the task to rescue the sword will be called...
The Rising Suns.
Haha! This is what you've been waiting for, eh?
Hello, fellow BZP citizens, I am Blade Titan974/BT974/Bladeran/McBlade/McStarman Deluxe, previously inactive comic maker, member of the International ComicContinuity, minion of McGyiyg, and I will be your handsome presenter for this exhibit. I'd like to take this opportunity to say welcome to C3, and to remind you to turn off your cell phones in the theater. Alright, so about two or so years ago, I started a comic series I liked to call "Blade Titan974's Comics". Crude, I know. They became fairly popular, and I became fairly well known. I'd say, rank 12 on the list of best Chimoru comic makers? Quite the achievement. Alas, I was a slow producer, and I was easily distracted by video games. I had so many addictions that it led to me putting BT974's Comics on hold almost exactly a year ago. I've made little comics since then...
...Now I've got a glorious little project to show you guys.
Rising Suns tells the tale of ten unlikely heroes, including our main protagonist Blade Titan974, who are thrown into a race to obtain a powerful weapon, the Meta Sword. In order for them to reach the sword, they must collect three keys scattered on the far corners of Meta-Nui. However, a group of villains led by a Matoran named Storm Lasher479 is after the object as well.
Ok, nothing new here, right? Blade stumbles upon some mysterious book, and he suddenly decides to go after this thing that might not even exist--no questions asked. He forces his little buddies to come, and they have a big road trip. So what's the big deal? Isn't Rising Suns just Quest for the Meta Sword, only with a new version of Chimoru Omega?
Not exactly. Rising Suns is a fresh start. After a long winter of Nocomicitis, it's time for the sun to rise, and the moon to fall. And it is my honor to give you the first ice cream cone of the summer--metaphorically speaking, of course, considering how summer began a while ago, but anyway, back to the fresh start. I'm taking you back in time a little, before Blade learnes how to run 40 miles an hour, before we found the book, before Blade finally went outside, before we met our mutated worm buddy, Glablob, and even before Storm's first generic comic villain attack. We'll start at the very beginning, only this time without Dark709's backgrounds.
Oh lordy, now we're gonna have to wait a whole nother year for QFTMS to come back.
The folks of Rising Suns, now in stylish new packages.
I was gonna post a written version of the intro of Rising Suns, but since the staff of C3 has encountered issues with too many characters being used or something, I'm gonna have to post it somewhere else. Why did I have to make this long?
Oh yes, I almost forgot the visual goodies you'll be seeing. Well, don't expect all the fancy Photoshop stuff you see Kahi do every day. I use Gimp. I do know some fairly advanced stuff (as seen in the first preview up there), so you'll be given some nice eye candy. And as you can see, I'll be using an all-new version of Chimoru Omega, created by the esteemed Gerlicky. Sorry, no more classic bi-shade anymore. Or at least, not in the main story.
As with the plans from the original series, there will be a side series called Life on Meta-Nui, which follows a very classic studio-comic setting, very similar to my first few comics, complete with all the retro sprites and backgrounds too. Nostalgia is always a good thing, amirite?
Oh, and anyone remember that game I announced a while ago? Yeah, that's gonna take a while.
So this time, I ain't giving any tentative release dates of any kind. I'm done giving away false hopes, I'll just get there when I get there. But that means the sun may rise at any time, so stay tuned to your local BZP forums. And now, let's continue to our next little C3 exhibit, yes? This is McStarman Deluxe, signing off.
Comic 2) Some Form of Procrastination
Needless to say, this one is based on the fact that, at the time, I hadn't made any comics for almost a month. I was bored and depressed, and literally spent a lot of time just sitting around doing nothing. When I decided that I had to start making comics again, this was the first thing that came to mind.
I decided doing a character sheet wasn't a good idea after all, because I hate giving my characters consistent personalities. However, I knew I at least had to do some sort of introduction to the new PGSes, so I used it as an opportunity to both bring back Lord Morahn and introduce a new character. For the record, the Hero isn't at all related to the similar character in comic.jpg; he's actually based on a character Pyronius created for OverAchieving ages ago.
I was experimenting with various kits a while ago, when I started slapping pieces of kits together trying to see if I could make "XanRaMoru done right" - and I ended up with this abomination. I figured some people might be offended by this, so I might as well point out that I'm not trying to insult Jakiro here, or anyone who uses his kit. It's just intended to be another one of Philbert's seemingly noobish schemes to gain popularity.
I had initially decided that I wouldn't bother making this, but then this idea popped into my head on the 5th, so I figured I'd throw the comic together anyway. I gave up about halfway through, though, and only got around to finishing it a few days ago. When Pohuaki said to try making jokes about noob-bashers, this is how I interpreted it - those newbies that always go around talking about how they kill noobs or something. 
Now on to the important stuff...
Philbert has been mysteriously abducted by a cosmic entity known as the Protector. He wakes up in a strange realm, surrounded by people who claim to know him. He is no longer a Matoran, but a cosmic entity named Falibor with an uncontrollable dark side. Now he finds himself caught up in a secret organization dedicated to saving the universe from things he didn't know existed, in the first ever TCTMOMNBMBIP saga, Echoes of the Past.
I may post more comics in my blog later on, so you might want to check that out too. Anyway, I suppose that's all for now...
