  1. That was quite moving.I loved the vagueness of it, as well as the non-typical descriptions such as:"He released it, letting gravity take hold and slam it into the turf. Particulates of dust congealed around the edges and curled up into the air."This makes the story the best I've read so far.I also like the way that it stays away from known characters, allowing it the possibility to fit in with canon.Keep writing Sumiki.
  2. That's amazing! Just make sure it doesn't bite your hand when you punch it.

    Care

    I should have clarified about it being my first short story.I've had a few false starts that turned out horribly, and this is the first one I've finished.Thanks for the comments.
  4. Neat head. I like the what-cha-ma-gig on the top of his head. Makes it look the the beginning of his spine. I didn't know you could fit a Garai on a Skakdi skull.The knife on his leg is a cool addition.
  5. Looks a bit like fish bones.I like the head design, but I'm having trouble seeing the flames as eyes.Can he close his mouth?
  6. I love the head. It seems quite… theshadowedone-ish?I like the hip and legs, they're very well designed and flow. However, the arms are disproportionately thin compared to the rest of the MOC, and the hands seem a little large as well. I would try to make the whole thing sleeker.Also, I like the story accurate tail!

    I Wrote A Story

    I wrote something. It's a story about the glitch in Mata Nui's Nanotech (Matoran and the like) that Angonce talks about in The Yesterday Quest. "There had evidently been glitches in the AIl of Mata Nui, Makuta, and the Great Beings' other creations." Not that good though.

    Care

    My first short story, I'm very open to criticism.Visual sensors: activatedAudio receptors: activatedTactile input: activatedMatoran Unit 542 sat up. Taking in his surroundings, he deduced that he had suffered a fall during work. Unluckily for him, no Toa Unit had been around to prevent his fall. He stood and stooped to pick up his tools. But just as he was about to grasp them, he stopped.I feeldifferent.The new feeling was unlike what he typically experienced. It was an odd sensation, and as he returned to work, it nagged him. However, after a few minutes repairing a control panel, he finally grasped it.He felt he should try to avoid falling again.542 shook his head.Falls are not dangerous. He thought. They only cause minor damage.He tried to rid himself from the feeling, but it kept coming back. The feeling that he should keep himself from falling again.As he moved down the walkway to the next panel, he pondered his new feeling.Falls are not dangerous. He told himself out loud. I should not worry.But worry he did. Going about his work checking pumps and repairing machinery, he thought about his new feeling, and then came to a realization.My feeling should have a name. After a few minutes pondering this, a word popped into his head.Care. 542 thought. I care about not falling.As he came to his conclusion, he heard the sharp CLANG of metal hitting metal. Looking up, he saw a large girder falling toward him. Momentarily dazed by the sight, he then jumped out of the way of the girder just before it smashed into the walkway. As other Matoran Units cleared the piece of metal, 542 looked back to see what damage it had done to the pump system he had been repairing. The side of the pump had been shredded. Bent and broken pieces littered the ground.As 542 moved back to the pump to begin repairs on it, a thought crossed his mind.Do I care about the pump?The thought stopped him in his tracks.Do I care about things I build?Gazing up at the reactors at the center of the huge room, he thought.If Matoran Units care about their creations, then does Mata Nui care about us?The glitch had begun.

    Farm Animals

    Oh my I should try this. My friend at one point was going to make his outgoing message "Haha, you failed to reach me! Message!" (all done in a very obnoxious voice).

    Snow Gelu

    Inspired by Brickeens (again), I took some pictures of my Gelu WIP in the snow. Link Probably my best photography yet. Comments and Criticism welcome.

    SЅⅭ8 Entry

    Can ya post a rough draft so we can read it?

    Snow!

    IT SNOWED! YAY! And it's not immediately melting like the last flurry did!
  13. The Purple flame kinda looks like nuke, but that's not a bad thing. I like the Lightning's trilateral symmetry design too.Where'd you get the purple flame pieces?
  14. The mask and mace are cool, but the rest could use some work.Legs and arms are too short and long, respectively. I'd get rid of the trans-red pieces on the shoulders, not quite sure why they're there. I'd also try to distribute and even out the color scheme more, seeing as the feet and body have one blue, the mask another, and the arms a third .I also recommend changing the armoring on the arms, legs and torso, making the bulk more spread out.
  15. Do you get them at Brickfair, or have to make them yourself?

    Gaardus

    WIP of Gaardus There ya go.
  17. I definitely agree. Plus, he didn't have a badge of office in set form.When I first got the set I actually thought Dume was a Ta-Matoran.
  18. Not likely, since I've never talked to him and I'm not ignoring anyone.Any way to contact him other than the PM system?

    Wip

    I lied. I might be posting a bit more. It's a WIP of the Bota Magna Heroes Gelu. 1 2 Critiques?
  20. …and all it's craziness, Boom-de-ah-da, boom-de-ah-da, boom-de-ah-da, boom-de-ah-da On that note, I'll generally be leaving this blog for awhile, partially because the premier perks everyone has will be running out soon. So, until I get Premier Membership, Goodbye!
  21. Their not in the New member group, but their quite inactive, so I bet they turned off their messenger.Is their any other way I could contact the member?
  22. The GOLDEN IGORNice MOC. I like the hands, especially the rounded backs. It makes it look much more realistic.Also, the gold armor could be more distributed around the MOC, as opposed to all on the body and head. Then again, I kinda like the way it is.I one thing I dislike about this MOC is that its legs don't bend. Overall, pretty good.
