Well, another school week has passed and I am finally over my cold.
I am very excited about all of the new info about and pictures of the Barraki and Matoran/Hydruka that have come out this week. I took It upon myself to enlarge some of the pictures for better viewing. Pridak, Takadox, Kalmah, and Ehlek. Sorry about the blurryness, but I couldn't do anything about it.
I am almost finished with the third chapter of my comedy. I have only been putting it off for, oh let's see, 3 mont
Well, Homecoming Week is over, and my class (the seniors) won the class competition. Yes, seniors usually do win, but last year, my class as juniors almost swept the whole competion. That was a big achievement.
When my brothers and I found out that the small sets for next year were out, we asked our parents to take us to our local Toys R Us. Unfortunately, there weren't any new sets there. We'll just have to wait another couple weeks I guess.
Art:
Sunflower Picture - A practice with
Blech, I'm sick. But other than that, Here is some art I drew at school.
3 Objects - First drawing in that class. We had to draw three objects by only felling them inside paper bags.
Same 3 Objects - This time we could see them and posistion them any way we wanted.
Hand Drawing - A drawing we did to study contours.
Value Study - We drew a black and white picture with careful attention to value.
Creative Form Drawing - This was a culmination of our study of how to shade basic for
Orange font for Halloween.
Halloween is Tuesday! Expect the first in a series of drawings from me; holiday-themed pictures. You guessed it; Halloween Bionicle style.
I have been very busy this week. I had not one but two projects due this week and that took up 3 of my afternoons. Also, when I could get on BZP, the server was being annoying. As usual, I have good excuses for not being on.
My Indiana Jones costume is almost done, though I doubt I will find a beat up flight jacket any
I got my bullwhip and machete for my Halloween costume.
I worked most of the day on a project for Spanish class. I didn't go to church because I was up way too late and my eyes really hurt when iI woke up. I've been feeling slightly feverish for a while as well. I hope I'm not getting sick.
Project Update: As of today, I am officially finished with pencilling and inking for the first half of our project. I would have started coloring today, but ~Po~ still has 2 figures to ink and 1
0.o
My little bro ~Po~ is in the Member Spotlight!
Todya I am going over to a friends house to work on a project for Gov/Econ. I will edit this entry later to tell y'all how it went.
And, yes, my title for today is from The Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad.
Project Update: Nothing Zilch Nada
I had a entry for yesterday, but the server was being...fickle. So, I'll just post both.
Thursday: Last night's youth group was so much fun! Everyone piled into the leaders's cars and we went to Mcdonalds, Taco Bell, and Carls Jr. in that order. At each restuarant we had some type of eating challenge and bought a stranger dinner. For those interested, TRoF can eat a large order of fries without the use of hands faster than ~Po~.
I'm happy tomorrow is Friday, but it is not going to
I've been so inactive these last few weeks. Kinda sad.
The main reason I haven't blogged much is that life is pretty normal right now. I still go to school 5 days a week, I still help out in my junior high group at church on Monday night, still go to the Tuesday morning youth Bible study, still attend youth group Wednesday nights, I still am working on the ongoing project, etc., etc., etc. Sounds boring right?
Wrong! Life is awesome!
I found out today that I have straight A's
It has been such a busy week. I literally haven't been on the computer for more than 10 minutes since Sunday morning. So, yes, I have an excuse for my absence.
Well, I finally hit post #500 this morning. And, of course, my Kaukau has appeared in my rank picture.
I'm kind of in an Artemis Fowl phase right now. I am rereading the Opal Deception and anxiously awaiting my chance to buy the latest book, the Lost Colony. Anyone else like Artemis Fowl?
Project Update: I expect that we
Ack! I haven't updated in 2 days! I'm such a terrible person! (joking )
Today was a bit hectic. My family (except for TRoF who is at a band competition) drove around looking for insects for my brother ~Po~'s school project, the one that was destroyed by one of our cats :annoyed2:. All together, we found twelve bugs. He still need 9 more though and the project is due on Friday next week.
I changed my avatar to a section of the cover of Artemis Fowl. I was surfin' the net looking up
Huzzah! It's my 18th birthday!
Wait a second, I'm 18 already?
I have a birthday topic! Thanks Turakii!
So far I have gotten a card from my aunt and uncle, a nice birthday lunch, and perhaps some more presents later along with cake and ice cream. On Friday, my family and I are going to The Old Spaghetti Factory for dinner. We usually go on the day of my birthday, but my brothers and I have youth group.
Also, I originally had quite a bit of homework to do, but my Gov/Econ tea
This is my last day as a 17-year-old.
According to the age suggestions on Bionicle sets, I should have stopped buying 'em 2 years ago.
Yesterday, when my brothers and I got home from school, my brother found our cat sleeping in the box that held the bug project he has been working on for 4 weeks. All but 7 bugs were totally obliterated. Luckily he still has 2 weeks left to complete it. Poor ~Po~.
Project Update: We made no progress on the project today; I had heaps of hom
I know I said I wouldn't have time to draw anything, but it turns out I made time.
My celebration picture can be found here.
Huzzah for being here one year!
Project update: Another figure has been added to the drawing. We are almost halfway done with the 1st stage of the first part of the project. Luckily the 2nd part will be much easier.
Today was nice as Sundays go. My family went to church as usual. Out pastor preached very well today. Youth Group was fun. In fact, our youth pastor said that if everone in the group brought in one friend, he would shave his head and mustache (he has a big mustache). Needless to say, I'm going to ask some of my friends to come next week.
The rest of the day has been spent working on our art project. Production update to follow.
Clam Chowder is yummy.
Project Update: The lay

The reason I have not blogged much in the past few days is because my little brothers and I have been working on the project that I mentioned in my last entry. The picture is a teaser for the project, so to speak. My brother ~Po~ drew it and we decided to post it here to give everyone an idea of what's to come. The projected completion date is sometime during the last week of October. I probably won't have time to work on a specific celebration pictur
Aaaaakk!! The not-blogging, it burns!
Soory about the absence of blog entries for, has it already been 3 days?
Well, my little brothers and I have an awesome project that we are working on now. I won't ruin the surprise, but I will say that it will have a little of all of our art styles in it. I know you're just dying of anticipation.
Also, I am almost finished with the prologue of my first epic. It is proving to be more indepth than I first imagined.
Speaking of epics, my
Well, another Monday has come and gone. I was a good one (as Mondays go of course ).
My blog rating went down from 4.4 to 4.0 with one vote. Some one must not like Sherlock Holmes (or me ).
We started a new project in Art. We have to draw a scene using only the basic shapes (sphere, cube, cone, cyllinder).
One week from today I will get my one year Vahi! And my birthday is in 9 days too.
Now I'm off to help at my church's junior high group.
It's been a normal Sunday for me. Went to church, came home, and finished the last of my homework. But, since no one really cares about that, read on for the more interesting content.
For all of you who visit my blog (I know there are some many of you ), I have decided to share some of the concept art I drew to prepare for my forthcoming drawing of everyones favorite Dark Huntress, Lariska.
Concept Sketches

Yes, she has Roodaka 'hair.' So what do you think
Huzzah! Happy Saturday everyone!
Today is my dad's birthday. He's a cool guy and I hope he has a good day.
Today my family and I are going to see a friend of my dad's. He and his wife are an older couple and very nice at that. He tells the best stories about his life. And his wife likes to dote on us. I'm not complaining.
I finished a concept sketch for a drawing of Lariska I have in the works. It turned out pretty good and it will probably be better once I actually draw her
Wow, I just noticed that my blog has been rated by 7 people. And I have a 4.3 average. When did this happen?
Anyway, thanks to anyone who rated my blog. I've tried not to force anyone to rate my blog; in fact, this is the first time I have even mentioned rating here (or at all).
Anyway, now for the real reason I have a blog.
I got my Lego magazine and Ignition #4 in the mail today. Great comic, but the Inika's fight with Umbra is pretty short. Vezon's soliloquy is probably my
Legacy of Evil came in the mail today!
It was a minimum day today so I have been home since around 12:35. It's nice to be able to finish homework with time to spare.
I still haven't decided who to vote for in the finals; too many friends and awesome art to choose between.
I'm back to my Shaak Ti banner/avatar combo. Things are starting to go back to normal after my run in AC 12.
T-t-t-that's all folks!
Blog rennovations are not yet complete, but I'm getting there.
And before I go any further with this blog I would like to congratulate Turakii and Ga-metruian for their awesome pictures. You kicked some serious tail. An you deserved to; your pictures are awesome
I forgot to blog about it, but on Saturday I bought a CD with music from all three Indiana Jones movies. Awesome music. John Williams rocks!
Oh, I'm a Steely Visionary now too! I have my Akaku.

As you can see, victory and I no longed hang.
And remember folks, you don't have to vote for the best art; you can vote for me.
No, I didn't steal the above quote from my bro's sig. It is from a Garfield and Friends episode.
I am about to spiff up my blog with more Sherlock Holmes stuff, so check back in about an hour.
Hank: And rememb
Well, Pohuaki put the polls up and lo and behold...I'm in the same poll as Turaki.
All I can do is wait and watch and say good luck to all of the rest of the artists in poll #8.
Oh, and good luck to all of the other competitors.
So it begins, my brother; so also shall it end.
