    Hope things get better your way and many airhugs!

    PS: I've been admiring your keen Discord flower profile picture bunches, if that's by you!
    :)

    Aw, thank you so much!

    And yea, that's by me, albeit a slightly older painting. Still, gouache is so much fun to use...

  2. I remember your previous name, and the leeches! :D It's been a while...

    As for me, finished my master's degree in physics, now moved on to computer science. Well, and found a job.
    I'm still drawing on the side, but that is and has always been my 'personal project' space. :)

    Game development sounds cool!

    There's so many new things on the forum that I'm unfamiliar with. It feels both familiar and alien. Still, it's nice to see faces and names from the past.

    ~Soran

    same to you! I'm always thrilled to see people around that I remember :D (wish that was an exaggeration. it really isn't ^^)

    But yea, I doubt I'll have gotten used to it by the time the (then) new version is introduced... we'll see ^^

    Oh, wow, didn't even spot those! What's been your favorite look/version of BZP so far?

    Also: Does anyone know when (or what version of) it started allowing Guests to visit member profiles? Just wondered.

     

    I did, because it didn't let me publish the blog entry otherwise :> As for favourite look, I just have an endless nostalgia for the original boards.

    As far as I know that changed in the previous upgrade already. Sadly.

    Ah, a AMA, eh? I can think of some! :)

    What led you to taking an interest in art and drawing?

    --Akaku: Master of Flight

    I've always enjoyed drawing, but what really jump-started the whole thing was actually joining BZP! The artwork forums provided a "reliable" community, if you want, and by drawing fanart I was able to not only "get people to look at it", but also receive tons of feedback, and engage with others. Also drawing robots is fun :>

    Over the years, what have you found has helped improve your work the most?

    I feel that regular (constructive) feedback really helped sharpen my perception, and guide my learning about how to approach analyzing my own art. Ultimately, this skill of being able to take a step back and actively reflect on what could be improved on in the drawing has been one of the most important things in improvement.

    Quote

    What is your favorite medium to work with?

    Depends. Overall, coloured pencils, but at the moment I'm not able to summon the patience to really enjoy the process. Hence it's mostly just regular pencil or ballpoint pen doodles.

    Quote

    In Retrospect, what is your favorite thing about Bionicle?

    The aesthetic! Well, and the (bio)mechanical concepts, andthe giant and immersive world building (even thoguh I only ever barely scratched the surface when it comes to the lore ^^')

    Quote

    If Bionicle were ever to make a return, what would you like to see from it? Another reboot, or an entirely new story?

    New characters, a new ruleset (no more gender-locking of elements. it gets old), maybe more 'monstrous' designs like the Barraki and Piraka. Those were fun.

    Quote

    Any particularly interesting Books/Movies/Games you've read/seen/played recently?

    Hm.... as for books, I'm currently reading whatever I can get my hands on, so it's been kinda hit-or-miss... I can always recommend Kafka's works though, even if they're not exactly cheerful.
    Last movie I watched that really left an impression was Yugioh - Dark Side of Dimensions. Make of that what you will ^_^

    Games... Divinity Original Sin 2 is fun, but even more so if you play it together with friends. If tactical, turn-based RPGs are your thing.

    Quote

    Favorite Cheese?

    Parmesan!

    Quote

    Pineapple or no Pineapple on Pizza?

    never had pineapple pizza in my life, so I can't really tell.

    Quote

    What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

    man, I should really look up the proper responce to that someday :D

    Obligatory "Do you dream about farm animals?"

    Have you been listening to any good Halloween related music?

    I'd rather dream of farm animals than realizing I am the robot that was sent to replace my true, human self. :<

    Halloween related music... not so much, just the usual? I rarely listen to any specifically halloween themed things, but Voltaire is always a good starting point for a somewhat spooky atmosphere. :)

  6. @Mushy the Mushroom Thank you for the questions! ^_^

    Quote

    What is something that you're looking forward to?

    the next time I actually get enough sleep :)

    Quote

    Favorite real animal? Favorite fantasy one?

    real... that's hard, probably tortoises? Or crows. Deciding is hard.

    fantasy... I'm kinda torn between unicorns or dragons

    Quote

    How did you get interested in Bionicle?

    I was gifted Nuhvok Kal back when, so I kinda fell in love with the sets first. Whether joining BZP or the movies came first after that, I can't quite remember - but joining the forums definitely marks the beginning of "really being interested" in Bionicle. (tho tbf, collecting the toys and playing together with siblings definitely played the largest part)

    Quote

    If you could live an any sort of habitat\home\world imaginable what would you choose? (For example: Castle, cloud city, pirate ship, bounce house, alien planet, etc.) 

    Hm... anywhere imaginable. I'd choose a pocket dimension that can travel between realms and realities. So that if I needed a change of scenery, I couldjust go there... wherever that may be. ^_°

    Quote

    If you could master a new skill\superpower in under one day of training, what would you choose? 

    The power of always finding exactly the right words to comfort others and help them feel better in any situation.

    how have you been?

    Alive! Most days have been very, very similar. Currently looking for my muse, who seems to have gone MIA (making art much harder than it should be these days). But it's getting better.

    How about you?

    I've had my sketchbook for about ten years and it's not even halfway done.  But I'm just lazy lol

    I mean, I do try to fill a page a day, and sometimes I wonder if that's quantity over quality buuut, what I mean to say is, everyone has their own pace with this things. it's absolutely okay ^^

  9. I know that feeling of not being sure whether you want to do something for the "rest of your life"... it always helps me to remember that if nothing really bad happens, the rest of my life is still incredibly long compared to my life so far, so there's plenty of time for reorganisation and stuff :)

    In other words, you can absolutely do it. *thumbs up*

    What music are you listening to these days? 

    A weird mix of KPop, Darkwave and Symphonic Metal.

    Could you give me a brief synopsis of your life so far as well as spoilers for the next few chapters?

    Veni, vidi, I changed studies and doodled a lot. Will probably doodle even more, and actually learn some programming! Maybe develop a game? At least that's a dream of mine ^_^
