Yaay, I'm Premier again! I had been waiting for it to expire, since it was supposed to in July... But now I'm back to my blog. At the moment I'm extremely interested in coelacanths. So much that I built one for BBC 45. I actually found it very surprising that more people didn't take advantage of the various only-barely-described things in the RPG, like the enormous fish that I decided to make into a coelacanth... (That'll take you to the topic, as usual.) Votes are appreciated as always, if you're so inclined... They really are wonderful fish. ~ ToM

We cannot get out! ... Sorry. This really ought to be titled "They have come," but I couldn't resist. Because the last three little pieces have indeed come, and now Reidak is completed at last! ~ ToM

She's not a revamp of Reidak (still waiting for the peices on that; there was a delay in shipping), but I like her, too. Took ... three days, I think, CGing on and off. Fast by my standards. Hahli is both my favorite Mahri and my favorite Bionicle character overall, so I rather enjoyed this. Click the image above to go to the topic. Hopefully Reidak's pieces will arrive today... ~ ToM (still a Hahli fanboy)

Bwahaha. They are finishèd. Yes, Kayvee. With a grave accent. See the topic for the other five! Including Gahlok Va doing yoga, Lehvak Va doing a somersault, Kayvee and Pahrak Va inspecting the camera, and Tahnok Va being abducted. Whee! In other news, Friday the Thirteenth was a very enjoyable day for me, as always. I finished writing a story about witches, a cat, and a swimming pool that I started last summer. Then I received a very useful Bricklink order, too, including a number of useful pieces. A black Pahrak handshield, white Nuva shoulder armor, a second dark blue Rahkshi foot, white Visorak feet (I don't have Suukorak, either), four 3-long pieces of tubing that I used in the Va, and various liftarms in lime green, dark grey, dark blue, and brown. All will be put to good use. Bohrok Va with eleven points of articulation. Oh yeah. ~ ToM

Music: Live to Tell the Tale, Nightwish Mood: Accomplished Of greatest interest: Like how she looks now? Then go see the rest of the Mahri Remixed – you may like the rest even more. (And yay for shameless plugs! ) I just finished drawing Kongu, the last one I needed to do, so I hope to have him up tomorrow. Secondly, on Saturday I got Nocturn and Axonn. Nocturn is just about completely awesome – lime greeeeeeeen! And glow-in-the-dark blue! – Axonn is a pretty good set, not bad but not my favorite. His proportions are still too chibi-like for me, especially with the huge hands, but I like him nonetheless. Nocturn is far cooler, though. The interiors of his thighs and body could have been filled in a little, but he's still amazing. Possibly my favorite set of the year so far. And finally, today is the day of the New Year in Gondor! March 25th in the Shire calendar, which equates to March 27th in the Gregorian calendar. The day Sauron was defeated at last, Gollum with the Ring fell into the Cracks of Doom, and Gwaihir ridden by Gandalf, Landroval, and Meneldor carried Frodo and Sam from Orodruin. Momentous events indeed. Let there be festivities! However the Gondorian New Year is celebrated... ~ ToM

I really ought to update this more often. I'm sure I have things I wanted to blog about, but a lack of time of late has prevented me from doing that... Since I'm not good at multitasking... For the moment, however, it will suffice to say that Takadox has made it to the AC13 finals! As always, any and all votes are very much appreciated, especially as I'm in eighth place at the moment. I think it's sort of a given I would love to be doing better than that. Plus the fact that I consider Takadox to be my best AC entry to date... ...It's discrimination against organic entries, I say! To arms! But really, there are a lot of great entries in the final poll, so vote for whichever one you think is best. However it turns out, it looks like it's going to be a very close race... Of course, that doesn't mean reviews for the entry itself are unwelcome. There's a link to the topic in the below entry... ~ ToM

Deck the halls. Deck them, I say! ~ ToM

Blue highlighter is now one of my favorite things. In completely unrelated news, I posted my revamps of Defilak and Dekar a couple of days ago, featuring Dekar as an Onu-Matoran (I shall never give in!) armed with a shoulder-mounted Zamor launcher with a design I'm quite fond of... I'm also busy CG-ing Enter Kalmah... I'm still not that great with textures, so this is partly practice for that. Exercise in lighting, too, since he's underwater... It's fun. Christmas vacation starts next week! Whee! ~ ToM

"Ne me touchez pas! Je suis la Mort Rouge qui passe!" – Le Fantôme de l'Opéra, Gaston Leroux No, this has nothing to do with Edgar Allan Poe. It's the Phantom of the Opera, disguised as the Red Death at the Opéra's masked ball ... Strictly from the book, hence why he has a skull for a head rather than the theatrical half-mask. Embroidered on the back of his cloak is the above quote – "Do not touch me! I am the Red Death passing [among you]!" He probably ought to be entirely red, but the red/black pieces stuck in my mind as being perfect for the Red Death when I first built it. In other news, the PSAT was just as easy as I incredulously anticipated it to be. The reading comprehension was tricky as usual, and there were a couple words I didn't know in the vocab questions (shame on me!), but the math sections were really simple and I fairly breezed through the grammar at the end. It was, in short, the easiest standardized test I've ever taken ... and it doesn't even count for anything Sophomore year. "Et quelqu'un voulut le toucher... mais une main de squelette, sortie d'une manche de pourpre, saisit brutallement le poignet de l'imprudent ..." – ToM

Pohuaki is awesome. So is everyone who voted for me – thanks again! The same can easily be said of a lot of the artists who entered AC12 in both categories, as there were a lot of great entries this contest ... This brings my count of rare Kanohi to find down to four: the orange Vahi, chrome Hau, infected Hau, and copper Komau (not counting misprints). I've never wanted the movie edition Kraahkan, and I'm obviously not even counting the solid gold Hau and platinum Avohkii ... But this is great! I now have four Poisoned Hau Nuva and one of my most coveted Kanohi, the transparent neon green Miru. I shall now go and contemplate the shrine I intend to make to the Miru until I find something more interesting to fawn over. If you were wondering about the title. – ToM

... Well, they would if there were more than one of them. That's the problem with making MOCs of protodites: they always try to eat you ... At least if you're a Toa ... or anything from the Bionicle world, really ... *resists urge to stroke the protodite and runs in the opposite direction* (I need to update this more often.) – ToM

~ Legolas, The Fellowship of the Ring Topic ... I've been working on this more or less nonstop for the past two days, barring school and homework (I was so glad yesterday was Friday)... *throws himself onto a couch and promptly falls asleep* "A Balrog! This is an evil fortune. And I am already weary." ~ Gandalf, The Fellowship of the Ring. – ToM

Yes. I have at last updated the ToM Kit 2. *brushes dust off the kit* Sprites of note include rotations of the Calix and Suletu (that mask is murderous to sprite from a 3/4 view), as well as the full array of artillery brandished by the Inika. As well as random individual sprites specified in the topic ... And three surprise sprites in various places. – ToM

I liked that writing class very much, but a pencil and paper in front of me invariably lead to doodles ... A generic anthropomorphized forest-dragon. (They can go back and forth between bi- and quadrupedal forms.) I want to CG it at some point ... And a sea serpent. Because sea monsters are cool. And I didn't feel like drawing another dragon. ... Yeah. – ToM

Drink up, me hearties, yo ho.

I was bored a few days ago, so I whipped up a couple of Matoran – Huki, since I had his 2003 self standing around, and Shenyu, since I still needed to finish him. Unfortunately it required partially demembrating Toa Shenyu to get some of the dark blue sockets, but I'm planning on rebuilding Toa Shenyu at some point anyway. Topic, if anyone's interested. I'll add them to the Most Recent MOC block sometime ... I'd still like some reviews for Ninjo, though ... In other news, yesterday I got a haircut. And now it feels and looks really short, even though it isn't ... my hair is never either really short or long. It's always somewhere in between. Before I got it cut, it went down to about halfway over my eyes (straightened) and halfway covered the back of my neck. Now it ... doesn't. It looks short, though it's probably only about an inch shorter ... Also, aquamarine eyes in a light grey Toa head look totally awesome. – ToM

'Nother update today: Most Recent MOC box added, inspired by the block of the same name on Sméag's blog. At the moment, Ninjo Inatu's occupying the space, and since his topic is still alive, I wouldn't mind if someone reviewed him ... *cough* I also whipped up a sprite of Vezon last night: Never underestimate the power of inspiration. I built the Staff of Fusion last night (all in silver, not having Vezon & Fenrakk), felt like spriting it, did so, and then made a sprite of Vezon, since I haven't made spines for my Piraka sprites yet. I also posted it and a sprite of Hewkii that I made a few days ago in my Kit Topic, if you're interested. I would also like to proclaim that the Staff of Fusion is the best Bionicle staff Lego has made yet. The head and shaft are perfectly balanced, and it looks totally cool as well. It's also good for scratching the back of your neck. I find it appropriate that the Staff of Fusion uses System Viking horn pieces ... – ToM
