Alright, got tons of updates. TMOMN, Twisted Island, Endless Blue, Monster Mystery, FCG entry... tons. I've also had a Dreaded Real Life delay... well, two if you count the garage door opener that conked out, but I'll save that for a later entry; got photos to upload for it.
1) TMOMN. We were a-gonna wait to re-upload after the "Dataclysm" till we finished V4, but we've given in and just put up V3.2 again. See the edit added to the firstpost of the topic: BP: The Map of Mata Nui. (Begins wi
Previously I said I'd do krana for my FCG entry (and put the graphic of them, Bohrok, and "Kofo-Visorak" up for yall to use too), but Bohrok are taking so long to make, what with dogsitting and all, I'm not gonna have time. Instead for my entry I will have a single type of mutated krana used in every Bohrok.
(Storywise, I DID say these Twisted Island Bohrok are mutant Bohrok. But I'm drawing them essentially set-accurate, so it will now be the krana that will be the mutants, not the Bohrok t
Do they notice the irony?
(Yes, I just complained about people who complain about people who complain about people who complain. So complain about me. )
Seriously, if someone complains to start out with, why can't they stomach a little complaining about them? If it's okay for one, it's okay for the other.
(Yes, I posted a random blog entry. I'm busy. Dogsitting three dogs and working heavily on the FCG entry. Two of the dogs hiiiigh energy. )
Attention all Paracosmos fans! Twisted Island is now fully reposted up to where I had left off before the "Dataclysm". The never-before-seen Chapter 18 is up!
Speaking of Twisted Island, Ojhilom and my FCG contest entry, Enigma Pacman, is coming along great (it is set on TI in late 2006 story). The gameplay is pretty much finished; I just have to complete graphics, especially enemy graphics.
For that, the smaller winners of the Beasts MOC blog contest (the creatures used in the epic

Updates:
-- S&T5 Ranking Poll. Congrats to the ten winners! (That poll is just to determine order of listage in BRC. )
-- Ojhilom and I love the theme of the first FCG contest so much we decided to go ahead and enter. We've got a test level about haaalfway completed -- the basic gameplay is already playable and it's addictive.
I don't want to say too much, but I can say it's set on Twisted Island, will be the fifth Paracosmos Bonus Series episode (takes place after Mindfire in la

Here are the instructions for judging the Name the Expanded Multiverse Contest.
Step 1: Judges (RKs and BS01 staff only) open a notepad file (or Word, etc.), and go through the entry topic, copypasting the "Multiverse/planet name: Blahblahia" lines you like best into your note file. In the case of a rule-breaker entering more than three planet names consider only the first three (if more than one multiverse name, only the first).
Step 2: From this list, select your top three favorites for
Random occurances, updates, and interesting stuffishness: I have decided to change my "every entry has a banner" tradition, and say that update entries like this will generally not have banners. It takes time. But major entries will always have banners, if I can help it. 'Twill make it easier to fulfill the "weekly blog" rule. These will be called "ION" entries -- "In Other News." Twisted Island has been re-begun, and the Paracosmos Tapestry Collection Topic re-revamped. Now all that's left
And the Name the Expanded Multiverse Contest is now open.
Also, there's an artwork topic for it. Post and stuff.
Editing period for the Time Capsule Contest is now closed. Polls a-comin'.
I've got all the info noted in one file that I need to make the polls, except a few technical details on some of the entries. Those members have been PMed.
Assuming I get the answers before Tuesday, I intend to launch the polls then or Wednesday. Still gotta make thumbnail images for a lot of entries, but that should go fairly fast.
Looks like the category breakdown will be as follows:
Media (4)
Collage (2)
Art (3)
Text (1)
4+2=6+3=9+1=10
The numbers in parentheses are the number of winners the category will have, based on the percentages of those entered in the contest. That totals ten that will be featured in the BRC; ten that will be in the final "ranking" poll.
The distinction between collage and art will be that collage is the combining of LEGO-company-produced images into one image, while art is p
Everybody knows the Bohrok Kal sold horribly. They were clones of the original Bohrok. This is bad. Not everybody hated them, but yeah.
Coincidentally (okay not so much ) the Bionicle Paracosmos is going to have an opportunity soon to include both the original Bohrok Kal, identical to canon, AND six further-mutated Bohrok Kal. The only guideline I have is that these mutated Kal are larger than normal Bohrok, and each is mutated in a different way.
That's what this contest is all about. Re
Edit: And that's it. A few entries were squeezed in, so glad I did that. Alright, from now on the only part of the contest that's open is the editing time, as explained below. Little under a week for that.
Repub: One hour left!
Repub: Four hours left now! No late entries have come in -- these four hours are your last chance!
The midnight quoted below is referring to TONIGHT now, at midnight EST.
So about nine hours left to submit late entries via PM!
Repubbing -- you have till noon EST tomorrow! Enter fast!
Assuming it doesn't get deleted again lol, this is the FINAL deadline to enter, and it's approaching fast! Go!
S&T#5: Time Capsule Contest
All 21 chapters of the Bionicle Paracosmos epic Captain of Treason have finally been reposted. It would rock if someone would review. (I know some people said they were meaning to get around to reviewing for the final chapter, but the glitch got in the way.)
Now I've gotta get around to restarting Twisted Island and reposting the two Altacosmos Chronicles so far.... and writing the SS for the Monster Mystery Contest... and doing a bazillion other things....
Speaking of contests, great en
Obviously I failyoord to keep up the weekly blog thing these past two weeks. Been even more busy than I thought and I just won't have time. So for the time being I'm declaring a mostly-total break from BZP. Will try to still answer simple PMs and contest questions and the like. Still hoping to have all this stuff done by end of April.
Also don't forget about the Blue MOCs contest which is still open!
Welcome to the Bones Drawing Guide, ready as promised. This entry is designed to rapidly teach the important basics about how to draw. The first rule is, don't assume you aren't capable of drawing!
The art for these lessons was drawn on paper and scanned; it also applies for drawing vector art in Powerpoint along the lines of my previous guides (1, 2). The text was originally handwritten but is also typed below each pagescan in case you can't read my handwriting, plus expanded on a little.
Enter before noon EST April 28th!
Because I don't quite have time right now to finish that art lessons entry I promised (though it is aaaaalmost done), and 'cuz I need to accounce some stuff:
1) I'm extremely busy with real life stuff right now demanding that I barely spend any time on the computer each week. Mostly nothing super "dreaded" and is stuff I could put off, but I've been putting much of it off for a while now and I refuse to put it off any longer. So that is why yall aren
