As much as I may like Comic Sans, it looks so small... so yes, I would like to try out something new. Century Gothic looks nice, but Bold text is hard to read >< Franklin Gothic Medium is... well, okay. But what about bold text? Microsoft Sans Serif... feels strange. Ooh I feels so important like writing newspapurz. in boold text [/sarcasumz] Sweet, but also quite small. Can you read the bold text? Okay what is this? Bold? Or maybe normal standard font again? 0_o Ideas/opinions, anyone?

I have good news for y'all: Finally started to write the last chapters of my epic ("A tale of light and shadows"), so hopefully I'll be able to finish that project by the end of this month. Also, after TEoaH died for the second time, I think I'll discontinue that series; there's no point. I have no ideas, and by that I really mean NO ideas how to go on with it. I want to apologize to y'all, and to let you know that I feel sorry about that. However, this does not mean that you'll miss me in AWIII, I will give comic-making another try. But this time with an actual plot, real characters and, most important, a plot. Seriously. I'm still in the middle of preparations, so I guess it will take some time until this project will be realized. I want to finish my epic first, anyway. Thanks for your attention, Taka Nuvia P.S.: Now you can rip me into pieces :|

Since I won't be around later on, and being on time is impossible because of timezoens anyway, I'll give you a little 'review' of the past year, as well as an outlook on what to expect in 2011 I. Review of 2010: 1. Life 2010 has been quite a troublesome year; main source of trouble was school, and especially the people in my class. Finally I had to accept that they have never been and will never be my friends. Sad thing, but now that I know it I do feel better. 'nother thing was my 3-day hospital stay (or was it just for 2 days? Can't remember, didn't get enough sleep ><). It was my first time to stay there, and I did not like it at all. 2. BZPower Awesome as always. I want to thank you all for the support, and the many hours spent with overall nice and cool people. ^^ You had the time to read my countless blog entries about how horrible I feel my life is at the moment, and gave helpful advise. I can not tell you how grateful I am... However, I was not as active this year as in the years before. I guess I took too many breaks... And didn't do as much BIONICLE-themed artwork. Shame, shame... 3. Art Art-wise 2010 was quite a good year; I improved on drawing male characters, and decided that this year I'd focus on a more semi-realistic drawing style. Surprisingly, my Chibi style developed simultaneously; the more I learned about how things look, the easier abstracting became. Taking the job as illustrator for my school's students' magazine turned into a job as Comic-maker; and by being forced to draw at leasst one comic per month I learned a lot about graphic storytelling, panelling and after-editing with photoshop. 2010 was also the very first year where art class at school was helpful. Due to that I now understood the basic way of working with Inkscape, as well as other things II. Outlook on 2011 This is gonna be short, I promise My main goals for 2011 are: - improving art-wise (or course) - being more active on BZPower again - finish school (OMG final school year starts fall 2011; I'm scared already) - even more art - being a happier person :] ***** So, I wanna wish you all a wonderful 2011!

Gaah, where have I been?! I really want to apologize for not having been around for such a long time, and I hope you can forgive me. I feel sorry for just disappearing without at least telling you before doing so :[ Next thing: Thanks everyone for wishing me a merry christmas. Thank you for your nice pms, profile comments, and even gifts! I am really grateful; and I want to wish you all a very late, but nonetheless very merry Christmas, too! All I can offer you is a little thing that I've prepared, but never gotten to upload until now: Link Soo; I hope you can forgive me. I'll do my best to catch up with everything (including replying to all the pms), and I hope that's alright. Thanks for your attention, Taka Nuvia

... recent events (pms, to be precise) reminded me that I should give you a little update on the latest 'events': -) Everything's better again. People still kinda ignore me, but the atmosphere is less unfriendly. So I'm no longer all too down, and feeling overall better. Also, I want to apologize that I haven't been around much lately, my head was somewhere else =[ -) I've got a cold. Nothing too serious, just the kind that affects the voice a bit and makes you cough or sneeze from time to time. In other words, it could be much, much worse. -) Today I encountered another kind of art block: the Weird Face Syndrome. I'm not able to draw faces in 3/4 view without making them look somewhat deformed. It's annoying, but led to some quite funny doodles on my desk at school... XD But enough about me, how are you?

Okay, I saw this around. In the Comics forum, but sometimes also in GA. Seriously, is that really necessary? Of course, it is easier to go to a topic and post "it sucks" or "you fail" instead of giving helpful advice and help the person improve. When you view something there, it's never the final stage of improvement. No matter whether the artwork/comic/story is by a famous writer/artist/comic maker or by a starter. There's always room for improvement. People just need time. You can help them by telling them what they should focus on, and give them tips if you have any. Or you can go around and tell them that their work is awful. Of course you can, it's easier and faster than writing a review. But it hurts the other person's feelings. Or it might make him/her give something up entirely, even though they might be talented. Would you really want that? "I can't write reviews" or "I can't draw/write/make comics" That's okay, you don't have to. But I've experienced that every person can say something helpful about art. Take my mum for example. She can not draw herself, but she always spots things that could be improved on. I can't make comics, but I can still tell whether a sprite is oddly placed or not. A one-or-two-semtence post can be helpful as well. Something like "These comics are okay. You could do something about the grammar, though" is not hard to write, and gives the person criticised at least an idea of what could be done. Long reviews are nice, but not necessary. Get 5 two-sentence posts, and you might be able to figure what really should be done. "Reviews take long to write" As said above, you don't have to write long, in-depth reviews. Just don't be too unfriendly. "But what if it REALLY sucks?" Euh. 1) Keep in mind that usually the person posting their work wants to hear opinions. Yes, you don't have to be all happy-cheerful and say "Awesome" to every thing you see, but you don't have to be harsh. If you state that 'you don't like it, but that is your opinion', then it is okay. 2) Check the person's profile for the age. You can't expect an 11-year-old to make comics like an 18-year-old. 3) Remember, you're criticising the work, not the one who did it. Nobody's perfect. Thanks for your attention, Taka Nuvia
