    ....erm, I mean, school!
     
    So, in case you haven't guessed yet, I started school again earlier this week, this being my last term in Year 10 and in high school in general. I won't bore you with the details, though, but instead get to what's sort of important at present.
     
    Firstly, the issue of various stuffs I need to do here on BZP - comics, spriting, MOCs. I'm getting immensely lazy again, and so haven't really done anything. Emzee and '95, I'm sorry I'm taking so long, but at least you'll get something by the end of the year. If any Heroes peoples are reading this, I'm trying to work on something, but I don't really have any good ideas at present, so I could take a while; I AM working on a comic, though. As for my own comics, I promise at least Chapter 7 of LIGHT by the end of October, but I'm having trouble writing that as well. In short, everything here is looking sort of messy.
     
    On a slightly related note, Dreiken's started writing comics again. Yay. If anyone's wondering why I said that, it's because Dreiken and his works were the main reason I started comic making to begin with, and I'd say he's improved significantly since then.
     
    Also, my parents and sister will be going to Tasmania in a couple of days, for some sport thing for my sister. I must be a terrible elder brother, to not remember what it is they're going for. I'll still be here in Canberra, unfortunately.
     
    I've got this funny feeling that there's something I should be doing right now, but I don't know what it could possibly be.
     
    Finally, using tutorials by bonesiii, I've started experimenting with vector art. IN POWERPOINT. Imagine how awesome that could turn out if I get good, and if I then implement it into comics... Here's my first test with this, a crude Kanohi Avohkii.
     

     
    So, yeah. Stuff happened.

    Battle Revolution

    By Turaga Dlakii,

    I don't care what the average game reviewer thinks. The game is awesome.
     
    Words cannot describe how adorable Mudkip and the other starters are in it.
     
    (Note: Old news; I've had the game since January.)

    ...It's time for some LIGHT spoilers!
     
    Here's a couple of things you probably shouldn't know about the upcoming five or so chapters:
    I've given the Toa Team (that is, Dlakii, Harkha and Enira) a proper team name. They're the Toa Calix, obviously meaning Toa of Fate. Speaking of Enira, I've completely overhauled her design. Now she actually looks like a Toa of Shadows. Her Toa tool has also been renamed (sort of to go with the name of Dlakii's Toa tool), but if you've read The Unknown Turaga, you've seen it before. Speaking of Dlakii's Toa tool, it's been redone as well, so it doesn't make his other weapons (a bow as a Matoran, and a sword as a Turaga) look out-of place in the lineup. It's also been renamed. Harkha's received a TINY design change: his eye colour. Meh. I've got another Guest Star thrown into the mix here. Lewajohnson decided to apply for such a role. I've added a random picture of him at the bottom. In addition, a number of other new characters will be introduced, one of which will appear in LoD Chapter 20. Four of the next five chapters are set in the Daxian Archipelago, an island chain far to the west of Port Spirit. And yes, there's a reason it's named after Daxia. ...And that's everything I can think of.

    Brawl Is Win

    By Turaga Dlakii,

    Not that you needed telling or anything.
     
    All control references listed here for Brawl refer to usage of the sideways Wii Remote configuration.
     
    But while I'm at it, I might as well say that Ike is uber win in Brawl. True, he is in Radiant Dawn, but that's not the point.
     
    Ike's sheer strength is downright disturbing. Just one attack with 2, and BAM!!! The enemy goes flying with minimal effort! And it's nice to know they did that for a Fire Emblem character!
     
    For some reason, I still prefer Marth. True, he's nowhere near as strong as Ike, but I still prefer to play as him.
     
    As for the music, they made excellent choices on the Fire Emblem front. It was because of the song "Strike" that I started playing, so that was a huge benefit. "Against the Black Knight" is also a classic, and "Combat Preparation" is my favourite song of its kind. To round it off, they really could've used King Zephiel's battle theme from Fuuin No Tsurugi (the game that Roy is from).
     
    Now, as soon as Friends is over (everyone's watching it), I'll be playing more, no questions asked.

    Casting Now!

    By Turaga Dlakii,

    Bumping and editing because of new developments...
     

     
    Right, it took a while, but I've developed a list of roles in The Unknown Turaga: The Movie. If you wish to apply for any of these roles, express your interest in this entry and I'll PM you some trial lines. Bear in mind that some roles have already been filled, or are pending filling.
     
    Genders of each role are indicated by colouring of text
     
    Dlakii, Turaga of Light - - taken by me
    Lai, Le-Matoran - - taken by Lai: Toa of Shadows
    Dreiken, Toa of Ice - - taken by Lai: Toa of Shadows
    DudeNuva, Toa of Mists - - taken by DudeNuva
    Thekoo, Toa of Lightning - - pending role acceptance from Kotahn
    iKKF, warrior Toa - - pending role acceptance from Karkava
    Vak, Ta-Matoran - - pending role acceptance from Tahuri
    Proto D, Dragon Ta-Matoran
    Hev, Toa of Fire - - pending role acceptance from Vorthon's younger sister
    Beliwa, Toa of Demons - - taken by Phyoohrii
    Noir, Shadow Matoran
    Teridax, Makuta of Metru Nui - - pending role acceptance from Tahuri
    Dume, Turaga of Fire - - pending role acceptance from Kotahn
     
    Now, to clear a few things up:
    1. If you're confused about anything, read my original comics, The Unknown Turaga, which the film is concluding. If the relatively poor quality scares you off (What? I was just starting out!), visit The Unknown Turaga Wiki where, hopefully by now, there are story details and summaries.
    2. Yes, I am aware that the genders of a few characters cannot exist in normal Bionicle canon (that is, a female Toa of Fire cannot exist).
    3. What I said earlier still applies; you need a microphone, and you must have posted in any of my comic topics AT LEAST TWICE.
    3-b. However, in certain situations, I will make exceptions, but it's entirely at my discretion. Begging will not help at all.
    4. You've got to be somewhat committed to the project. Like any sprite film, this will have to be released in parts. Don't be surprised if I'm still bugging you for lines in a year or so.
    5. If you want, you can apply for two roles. That merely means less work for me in chasing lines.
    6. And yes, there is a reason that actual Bionicle characters are on that list.
    7. When you get the lines, please DO NOT tell others what's going to happen. Spoiling the plot is my job.
    8. Please don't try to apply for any roles that I have marked as "taken" or "pending". Just like I said, those roles are taken or pending.
    9. If you happen to be Vak, Thekoo or iKKF, I assigned your characters those elements because you did not provide any originally.
    10. Sign up for yourself only. Don't recommend anyone, don't say "o ill get so-and-so".
     
    To apply, post here which role you are applying for. I will, once I've finally written the script, send you an excerpt so you can do a test line. Send that to me once you've done it. Once I have tests from all applicants, I will go through all the applicants for each role and pick the one I have judged as the best for that character. I will then send each the lines for all of Part 1 of the film.
     
    Once again, PLEASE BE SERIOUS AND ON-TOPIC ABOUT THIS. Spam will be mercilessly massacred.
     
    Questions? Comments? Applications? Fire away!

    I think I've set a record. Never in a long time have I uploaded two Unknown Turaga comics in the same week, much less within three days of each other. The point is that Chapter 10: The Truth of Dracos-Nui is now available for viewing by the general community! You know where to.... oh forget it, here's the link:

    I have finished and uploaded yet another chapter in the epic Unknown Turaga: Land of Dragons series. I like to think of this one as the end of the beginning. It brings a new character into the war against the Shadow Dragons, and... you'll have to read it yourself! You should know where to go by now! If not, then here's a link:

    The new ranks are of epicness. Unfortunately, they didn't quite take me out of the "Nuva Team" range. D=
     
    Also, 9:41PM on Christmas Eve. Yay. WIN's Carols By Candlelight lineup is outstanding this year, better than ever, partially due to the carols being performed in a much livelier fashion.

    Concerning #51

    By Turaga Dlakii,

    My entry is nearly finished already. And, not to brag, it's probably one of the most epic things I've ever made. Consider this:
    Entirely custom feet.
    Torso built from scratch.
    Epic longsword.
    HUGE shield.
    Complexity which looks good.
    And, at present, no head.
     
    Actually, I've still got to do something about that last pointer.
     
    Oh yes, as you may have guessed, the song in question is Coldplay's Viva La Vida. Hey, there's no rule against two people using the same song. And I kinda claimed it first, not that that's important or anything.

    » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «Darnit LEGO, just when you'd nearly lost me, you go all awesome and drag me back in! I seriously doubt I'll have the money for most of the new Bionicle stuff, all the Power Miners stuff, and one or two of the Star Wars things! 
    As I just raved about, the new Glatorian are a significant improvement over the old ones. Gelu (?) lacks Strakk's crazy colours, which is good. The Admiral is like Malum, except far better, and he's MATA-RED, which is good. Stronius is like a very bulky Skrall, which is good. Mata Nui doesn't entirely suck, which is good. Kiina looks questionable, but she's (?) got some excellent recolours and a reasonably feminine build, which is good. And Vastus isn't Gresh, which is good.

    Cruelbrawlful

    By Turaga Dlakii,

    I'm sorta happy. Why, you may ask? Well:
     
    1. MUDKIP TROPHY. TWO OF THEM.
     
    2. Lots of Fire Emblem trophies!
     
    3. I've obtained the Team Galactic Battle! song, quite possibly the most awesome Pokémon song in Brawl.
     
    4. I've got all the playable characters and stages.
     
    5. I've confirmed that the playable Pokémon don't suck.
     
    6. I've crushed the 100-Man Brawl in under 4 minutes, and dominated Classic and All-Star Modes repeatedly.
     
    Good, now I've gotten past the Brawl ravings...
     
    Vote for me!
     
    If you can't pick out mine after reading this blog, there's something wrong with you.

    Now here's one that no-one saw coming.
     
    I now have a job with a game company! But before anyone overreacts, I should specify that it's a BZP game company. Cyan Productions needed a 2D spriter, so I applied and, after submitting prototype sprites to Emzee (the company's head), I was accepted.
     
    Visit the topic here!
     
    Other than the fact that Emzee curently wants me to make a full set of Tahu map sprites (which I've already sent off), I have no idea when my work is going to be used as of yet. If my work gets featured in a game, I'll be sure to mention it here.

    He used some Fire Emblem music in his (horrible) third film.
     
    Subjecting such beautiful music to use in THAT fail is a crime.
     
    He must pay... and he will... when I release UTMovie. It will be SO win, it'll wipe out the competition.
     
    (For the record, the song used was Crimean Army Sortie, from Path of Radiance and Super Smash Bros Brawl.)
     
    It's not the first time either; he used, much to my disgust, Together We Ride in his second film. (That originated from Blazing Sword and Super Smash Bros Melee, and is one of my favourite Fire Emblem tracks of all time.)

    Darn You, Nintendo

    By Turaga Dlakii,

    Fire Emblem 11... Pokémon Platinum... that new Kirby game... so many upcoming new DS games I want...
     
    They'd better not all be released here at the same time, or I'll be very annoyed. I don't know which I like more, other than the Kirby game being third preference...
