LOL I forgot the whole thing started with an Indiana Jones parody. ... I remember comparing the volcano monster to Aku myself.

... how would one "use" a lawn? Other than letting their dog go in it. SNOOOW. I love snow. I haven't seen any at all since coming back to Florida but I would mentally regress to an overimaginative 10 year old if I were to be in snow again.

BLLAAAGH. freakin disk drive. This is one of the reasons I use usbloader... PUT UP YOUR FC ONCE YOU GET IT

WHOA. I forgot all about that Voya Nui comic until now. Yeah it was awesome, and I know what you mean about the backgrounds. Ah gone are my days of pulling inventions out of my backside... OR ARE THEY

Yeah that was a rather odd choice of words. Then again, wholesome always seemed like a rather vague word to me... though keep in mind I don't have the best vocabulary LOL Like I said on skype, my only real concern was the backlash. I recently remembered a time a couple years ago when Dark poorly-worded an opinion and got a loooooot of backlash for it. I'm glad that didn't happen in that case, at least majorly, and the topic kept going as normal.

Definitely. That's why I use it in flashbacks, it just puts more emphasis on the nostalgia. I think I'll stick with chimoru for the main story for now though. I think in the end I can do more with it. I might shove in some razor every now and then though, for future flashbacks or just for some other reason. ... also I wasn't aware blogging was its own subcomunity. neat.

WHAT A TWIST

So yeah, I got premier membership to celebrate the beginning of SK Inn. Loving the extra PM space, I should've have done this years ago. I DESPERATELY looked for a letter starting with "S" to end with so I could have an alliterative title, but I really couldn't find anything that fit. "Sukid's Stream of Supposition" or "Sukid's Stream of Scrutiny" were the best ones but the words don't really fit. But yeah, unlike most of my peers I have a profound lack of a life, even now as I'm 19. I certainly have more of one than when I started, but I've still got a lot more time on my hands than I really should so I figured now was as good a time as any to release the series and hopefully go far with it. But even if the comics die an untimely death I can at least have solace that I did something with it. I'm still completely blown away by everybody's reaction. LR described it as as hero's welcome and that's exactly what it feels like. I feel like I'm home again. Though I can't help but feel a little guilty for my old comic rereleasing strategy, which is obviously for padding between SK Inn releases. Also, I'm seriously considering going back to using Razor. LR was the last user of the kit that I know of and now that he's retired... I don't know. The only reason I switched to Chimoru really was because of my work with Dark709. Plus back when I was planning SK Inn Razor was still the most-used. I did effectively employ razor sprites in the first comic, during Sukid's semi-flashback, to emphasize the nostalgia. I know I will be using Razor sprites for pretty much every flashback, even for humorous or unrelated ones. But now that pretty much the entirety of artwork III is using chimoru, and LR has retired... I just don't know. As you'll see later, part of the theme of the intro is letting go of past regrets and moving forward to a better future. Would suddenly using Razor again at the end break that? The comics would look identical to 2.0, with fancier backgrounds every now and then. No new panels or anything. Would it still seem like clinging to the past? Would it seem jarring to abruptly switch kits like that? When would be the earliest I could sanely do it? Am I thinking about it too much? ... I also happen to have a 6-shade razor kit saved, though it lacks the extensive amount of poses I've collected... and Gerlicky did do that mindblowing 6-shaded chimoru ultra-pose kit which makes me melt. lskghlskdghslkehtslkgh Anyway, that's all for now. I'd really appreciate thoughts on the kit change thing.

I'm pretty sure it would qualify has harrassment on some level. You could report the posts and Pohuaki could slap them. Failing that though, all you can really do is ignore them. Easier said than done I know. General rule for the internet at large really. Though elsewhere people would do it to deliberately be annoying.

Yeah, in my comics I occasionally noticed that my entire cast was male, but it just felt cheap to me to invent a female character specifically for that and I had no other ideas. I had more characters than I knew what to do with anyway. As for attracting female comic makers, I'm pretty sure any attempt at doing so would end badly. No matter what, it'd just come off as mildly sexist no matter how well worded and intentioned. Not to mention derailed. I really think you just have to be inclined to do it, male or female. Combine that with Bionicle's predominantly male fanbase and there you go. Plus as Miraka pointed out, you have to have the guts to reveal your gender on a board full of hormone-crazed piranhas and not get too annoyed with what happens after that. Also, I don't know if she's been mentioned already because I haven't quiiiite been following the comments here, but Kayru: Toa of Drumming was one too. I don't know if she's still around though, and her character was male. ... for the record, if I could go back to 2004 and change things I would make Kazu a woman. I don't know why, I just would. Just saying. ... why is the cancel edit button IN FRONT of the complete edit button.

I love Kakami Rahi too. Getting some great nostalgia reading these, not to mention inspiration. Ah, the time Jetice made you use red text... good times. I thought for a moment your character was eyepoping at Jetice's front-facing mask.
