Hm. Odd dream - seems the others wandered off. ...And what's this?JK: So. Seems you're back then? What about Leraku?KJ: Oh, uh, you know. After you whacked us, I woke up first. I just left him against the wall back there, dunno what he's doing now.JK: Well, I guess that's good. I didn't want him to keep bugging me just because I felt like switching back to a 'Speed' typing - You know him, all slappy and all that. Plus, I just wanted to look around for myself a little while.KJ: Oh. Uh... that's okay then...Seems that the best thing to do at this point is leave them be. Besides - there's something bugging you about one of these tunnels. Something you've forgotten, but not entirely. But you've tried to.

golden Tahu mistika mask surrounded by energy in a white round chamber?Advanced version of makuta lair entrance from MNOG?

Hm.Odd - it's supposed to be a Phantoka Miru.It was the closest thing i could yoink, so i'll modify the mask in the sheet to be more fitting.

...Hm.There's something you'd rather forget....Maybe... No. It's not like you can reach out and grab it...After all......Isn't this just a dream?

...Hm. That was... odd. The energy fluctuation...Judging by your reflection, your eyes... they've sort of mussled a bit. Strange. It seems... somewhat familiar....Oh. That. Up ahead...

I am somewhat confused.So JK's prank hit you on the head causing your dark side to be dissapointed in you causing you to go lightning spastic?The art for those panals is quite amazing however.

No, you'll see. He's unconscious at the moment, so technically he's 'dreaming' this.This is, at the moment, basically drama laced with foreshadowing.-----Also, ACs may be sent in, but other characters are currently not available for AC use till the 'dream sequence' is over.

...Need i say more..?

>COM: Look at what Justax is so interested in.Okay, what's so interesting?Hold on, where did he go-JK: Made you look.What the -

What am I staring at over there? It's like you two are looking strait ahead, and I've noticed some kind of awkward scratch on the wall. >JK: Investigate awkward scratch!And wait, we found melee weapons? I thought we only got abilities.Even if we don't keep the guns, we could still sell them. Why would miners have guns anyway? Wait a minute, video game loot never makes sense. Forget I mentioned it.J-K out.

'Handyman's Hammerspace' is essentially an ability - but come on, how would someone just find a bunch of abilities in some trunk? Of course there has to be something else in there.

You have continued on and gaze in awe of the magnificent caves of Onu-Koro. An amazing sight that WILL PROBABLY BE NEVER EVER ACTUALLY LOOKED AT DIRECTLY.Oh, you just remembered. Melee weapons weren't the only things you found in the chest. You found a few... what're they called? GUNS? You're not sure if you trash them, but you suppose your 'conscience' could decide on whether to keep them, or dispose of them and never use any semblance of them ever again.Act as the company's conscience?---------Well, there we go. DDD is unofficially going to be starting up for a little while now. So, updates will still be sporadic. Q&A questions are... well, different. As before, you can have a character 'think over' a certain question - as in they're thinking it themselves. I.E, 'Wonder where you got <insert>' or something.

Awsome comics. I could camo. I look like takua, but ko-matoran colors.

Sorry, but i doubt i can stick you in - As said, i don't exactly have time to sprite people stuff up just so they can be in - If anything, it'd be better off if you made your character's sprites. As such, you know your character better than I do, and if I made it, i might mess it up somehow and cause something to spiral way out of hand. If you want me to put in the effort to include you in the comics, i'd at least like to know it's someone who i know is able to use the position - because if they really, really want to be in, they'd be responsible enough to it to make their own sprites. For instance, you're being sort of vague with your description. To be honest, it's a lot easier to do anything of the sort with a reference picture, or, well, an actual spritesheet. Just saying 'takua with ko colors' isn't exactly enough - there are an entire slew of colors for each elemental typing for characters, be they matoran, turaga, or toa. Lots of shades. Take Onu-matoran for example - They can range from purple, to orange, to black or gray. Or Le-matoran. All sorts of blues and greens, and a yellow now and then. If i make the sprites, well, i'd essentially feel like i was just making a random character, not someone else's character. It makes me feel responsible for this person's position to stick them in, and i work hard to think 'what would this character do?' according to that person's description. If i made almost everything about the character, it could spiral off way out of what you had in mind and make you upset somehow, and that'd be an unfortunate outcome. As such, i'm sorry, but i won't be accepting this request.(Also. Please. Request/suggest cameos in PM only, or i'll have to do longwinded responses like this that will clog up the topic. Thanks.)

Not Sure If you accept Fan art or not, but here is a little picture I made for the Comics.Dents Dings and Disasters PosterHope you like it. I added a few things because I was bored.(Unity, Duty, Destiny insignia on each character's hand. Showing their Unity and Teamwork, Their Duty to Explore, and their Destiny to prevail.)(Same Symbol in Background.)~Soran

Wow, thanks a ton - only a slight problem i've noticed. The mask is the wrong way around! Leraku's scope is on the other eye, heh.

Wow, it looks sweet. nice job. I like the new look, although the head in that style looks like you have a long a flowing beard and a tuff of hair on the top.Rest of it is pretty sweet. once again, nice job. And I'm also having problems with brickshelf/majhost too.nice work.~Soran

Thanks. However, the 'beard' as you call it is just a modification to the mask - In the real set, the Matatu has a slight 'extension' backwards at the bottom of the mask, and that's what i was replicating. I believe in the actual set that it sort of goes down into the mask's form at a diagonal angle, so that's why the coloring was set that way. Also, the 'tuft'? Just a stripe on the head, narrowing down in between the eyes. Sort of like Justax's.

Okay, I'm torn. I failed on your party (blame King Joe and his cheat codes), and I can't resist this ridiculous challenge.The temptation is soooooooo strong, but I know it'll drive me crazy. Okay, I'm trying it. Personal project for this break: finish that sheet!J-K out.

Heh. Good luck - you're probably not going to have time! I might get back up-and-going before you finish.

Oh dear.Well, it seems my majhost is messed up right now - i tried to upload an image for this post, and suddenly all of the images stretched vertically in the main area - and i can't find some of my images. Well, anyways.Since i haven't exactly been doing comics lately, though i'm probably going to soon...I decided to do a little spriting, for kicks.Presenting: BETA-KU!I doubt i'm going to continue working on this, as it would take forever to convert my entire spritesheet. If you want, feel free to try and contribute, though i'm not going to actually post the sheet. Just - i don't know, get this Chimoru-Kal base, and take colors and basis from this image. It's up to you, but, well, enjoy.

Aw, crud. I knew I should have sent in a PGS request. Either ways, great! You're doing very good in the custom graphics and such, so, well done!

Sheesh... I'm sorry guys - as in, sorry for the lack of comics! Life's been taking it's toll on me lately - though i am feeling better, i've been having a rough time with my relatives, and i'm sort of down in the dumps/busy lately. I'm going to have to put this on hiatus for a little while, and updates are probably going to be few, and sporadic. Thanks for the questions, and send-ins.-Ler

It does indeed answer my question. Nice effects and background characters. The poses Justax and Joe use really help to define their characters more. I'm glad you have enjoyed the sammich.Hope to see more soon.~SoranPS:(Yay, I'm in a comic.)PS: Can a person ask 2 questions or commands in a row?

Maybe, it depends on the question, and i'd suggest mixing it up a bit and asking other characters now and then.(Also, sorry about the fire's flare effect sort of blending into your arm.)

Edit: Image is apparently messed up, basically it's just Leraku explaining that King Joe has a cellphone in his hammerspace. Question is 'I have found that through many studies, life is like a video game, and King Joe has the cheat codes'.Thanks for the question, Soran -as well as the sandwich! I am a little hungry, actually. I hope this answers your question!

I could get into an argument about how the Turaga can only use their masks because of latent of the Toa powers still residing within them, but that will just make this ridiculous. Willing suspension of disbelief will have to suffice. Or it's just the rules of this universe.Thanks anyway. *cough* cop out *cough* J-K out.

Pffrt, hey. Don't forget, the reason the Mata-nui turaga are turaga to begin with is because they gave said toa power to these matoran, correct?Same power.*doop*

How do you use a Kanohi as a Matoran?Also, it is still sort of 'lonely' back here - It's like no one else wants to visit.As an added bonus - if your character is present when you ask a question, from now on, your character will actually ask the question. This little time period of the QandA is going to be non-canon unless you want it to be, so, enjoy.EDIT: Okay, okay, it's a Haukakama. I can't change the image now, it's saved as .PNG and i don't want to go through the hassle of finding and editing the .xcf file. Plus, i called it a Kakama in the explanatory sense.

Well everyone, thank you for all of the outstanding input and ACs, i'm glad i get to interact with you so much. Anyways, since i've really not been feeling very well, i thought, hey, why not pause things and have a little thing with you guys! Send me a few sprites of your character(s), so they'll be able to visit! Thus, they'll be a sort of guest star - since there aren't really any actual guest stars, just cameos, this is a pretty good deal. However, this isn't all - the main purpose of this event is a Q&A EVENT. During this time, you can send in questions for some of the characters, and see what i think their response would be. Have fun!

KJ: Steal LightstonesHahawehaw... Heeehhah... HAHAHAHAHAAHAAA-Yeah, it feels like you're doing something that you've already done before. Again..?Anyways, turns out Leraku found just a bunch of plain, old 'Balanced' typing slots in that trunk, so, he set all of you - including himself - back to a 'Balanced' combat typing. No serious advantages in anything, but fairly simple. At least he can use a ranged weapon or whatever now - if he HAD ONE.Hey, isn't that Onu-Koro up ahead?Finally finish the sidequest tunnel and make your way into Onu-Koro?EDIT: Yeah, it's hard to make these eyes like this while still looking good, so the special-eyes treatment may be sporadic.-----------------------------------------------------------------Okay, wow. Thanks for all of the help, you guys. I really appreciate all of the feedback and ACs, i really can't believe i made it onto the front page - and in fact, all of this new input and ACs are really giving me more options for making the story interesting! Given how all of my past series - yes, ALL OF THEM - completely went down the drain, most of them before they were even released, i am completely blown away by this. I had almost thought about not releasing this comic in the first place, but i'm glad i decided to give you all a good laugh. Anyways, quick update! And a notice - I SERIOUSLY NEED SOME HELP with the next few comics! If i can't make you a Lasting Cameo - you might be a good Simple Cameo! I need lots of background characters for the Koros and Wahis - and you can send in a SC request and specify for them to be a background character! Besides, you might even get some interaction. You never know with these guys. I ask this help of you all because i seriously don't have the time to sprite up dozens of random matoran. If you don't want to send in your actual character(s), you could still at least help out by sending in a spritesheet of some random backgrund matoran! I would REALLY appreciate this help!-Leraku

Sorry for the delay!It seems i've been hit with a flood of LACK OF MOTIVATION, and even the cast is all sunk.I've been having a lot going on lately, including me feeling really messed up - achy, fingers are all jittery... I thankfully managed to get this out. Thus, things are going to be slowed down for a little bit. However - I might be able to get my imagination geared up again if i have a little help from you guys. From now on, if you do see a new comic out, please, PLEASE do not feel afraid to just send me in a new AC! I haven't been getting many lately, and half of the time i've been forced to improvise to keep things going in an interesting direction... I would really, really appreciate some help with this. Please don't think of this as an 'x number of posts = new comic' sort of thing - This is different. This is a sort of thing where i'm trying to ha ve some input from my viewers, to keep this comic interesting instead of some sort of bland adventure CYOA. I cannot stress enough how much this comic depens on input from you guys - i'm just the artist, essentially, you guys are the writers. Aside from me making tweaks now and then to guide things as necessary, you are the ones who are deciding what happens.-Leraku

I have to admit - this is just great. I can't wait to see more of this stuff - It'll be sheer, contained excitement every time this updates....Well, probably.Keep up the good work!

Awww... poor guy. Great quality as usual, and also as per usual, you've outdone yourself!Wait. Since he's all sad and stuff -does this mean Teridax is all sunshine and happiness now?

>KJ: Disregard "lewtz" and re-acquire beloved Tahnok head.Hooray! You have it back now.Pfft. Looks like those other guys got cool stuff...but too badyou got AWESOME STUFF.Leraku has recieved HANDYMAN's HAMMERSLOTs from equipment chestJustax-Kal has recieved ENERGYFLUX - POWERSET from equipment chestItem explanation: LerakuHANDYMAN'S HAMMERSLOTS allow the user to switch between items in their hammerspace at an alarming rate, allowing for interesting possibilities. It also comes with several items for use.Item explanation: Justax-KalENERGYFLUX is a powerset that allows the user to rebound incoming energy, kinetic or otherwise. It can also be used to cause energy to flow AROUND the user, never coming into contact with them.Item explanation: King Joe...It's the head of a deceased Tahnok. What else do you want?Oh! There were new TYPING slots in the trunk too!View newly available combat typings?
