    Uuugh

    By Lady Kopaka,

    I don't like being sick. Specially the kind that you basically starve yourself for a few days in fear of eating. Uuuugh stomach, not cool man, not cool. I've lost too much weight lately, not eating is the last thing I should be doing!
     
    I don't like the thought of having to repost all those GITS chapters and catch up on PMs and reviews. (I really don't mind it all, just none of it sounds very fun now)
     
    I also don't like being unable to sleep.
     
    Have I stated how much I distaste any forms of the stomach bug?
     
    I don't like a lot of things right now.
     
    I really don't like complaining...and being crabby, and a crabby LK is usually rare. But apparently I am right now.
     
    I would ask for hugs, but I'd rather not get anyone sick.

    Computer Upgrade

    By Lady Kopaka,

    Yuuusss. <3
     
    Ordered some parts a few days ago and they came in the mail yesterday. Dad and I stayed up basiclly till 12am yesterday putting it together, and it's just now that I've finally got most things reinstalled and running smoothly. Still got a few options to tinker with, I need Microsoft Word and some other programs, but so far everything's wonderful. I just got most of my favorite games installed and they are playing perfectly, it's amazing how fast and smoothly they are running. And hopefully I have eliminated a lot of the lagging and crashing for Photoshop.
     
    If you guys are wondering, my new specs are now:
     
    Microsoft Windows XP
    AMD Athlon 64 X2 Duel Core 6000+
    3.10 GHz, 4.00 GB of RAM
    NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT
    DVD RW Drive
    150 GB Space
     
    The only problems so far is I don't like the current resolution, the computer is claiming I only have 3GBs when I know there is 4, and lastly the fail harddrive space, it was the only thing I wasn't able to update. So while 150 is fine, my next-gen games basically devoured the majority of the space.
     
    What I love about this too was how cheap I was able to upgrade. Sure I had to deal with the annoyance of building, and had to kick it a few times to work, but huzzah all the same!

    Sleeping Woes

    By Lady Kopaka,

    Well if some of you guys were uniformed, I got my license yesterday. The driving test wasn’t that bad at all.
     
    But to the point of the entry…bah. Over the past month, I don’t think I’ve ever slept past 10am so much in my lifetime. Awhile back, I couldn’t conceive myself sleeping later till 9, but now, well, blah.
     
    As a homeschooler, I’ll be truthful and say I’m not totally concerned about getting up at 6 or something every morning. 7 or 8 are perfectly fine. But recently, I inexplicably messed up my sleeping habits. My mom and I theorized that it’s taking a long time for me to actually fall asleep (which is true :/), and when I do its very light. And then close to morning is somehow when my body actually decides to really sleep, hence I snooze late. I assume my body is trying to compensate for the loss of sleep. I'm not sure about that though, it's only a guess.
     
    I’ve tried forcing myself to get up, but when that alarm goes off, I am really asleep; I don’t want to even move.
     
    Do you guys have any advice, or have been in the same situation? I’ve experimented a bit on going to bed at certain times and such, but nothing is really working out. I’m getting a bit concerned about it and I don’t want it to continue either, it’s not a good habit.
  4. Lady Kopaka
    I needed something to do in this here blog.
     
    So I'm still finalizing my blog, but I thought it'd be cool to do this: you guys ask me almost any question, and I'll answer it. After I get enough interviews I'll add them to this entry, then link it in my bio section so you guys can checkout random facts about me.
     
    It can be a question about me, my life or maybe something concerning art or writing. Go crazy. ^^

    Oh...

    By Lady Kopaka,

    This is not funny.
     
    Sept-Present has been the only time when I've been really active. I've lost so much posts...but forget about posts, all those reviews I did for people, and worst of all the art and writing.
     
    I'm thankful the admins were able to save this much, so don't get me wrong, but still...I didn't need this. I've been having some rough weeks. I just wanted BZP back so I could get some art up, along with GITS updates...
     
    ...
     
    I'll be busy for the week, with school. So don't expect me being active, or art for awhile, especially after this, because whatever little motivation or esteem I had left is now completely gone.
     
    EDIT:
     
    I have looked over stuff...aside from loosing about 200+ posts, my art topic is gone, most of GITS stuff (review page included), and two short stories.
     
    I'll work on rebuilding GITS but I'm not sure about the other stuff, I may not have the time and I'm not sure if it's worth it now anyway.

    Which One?

    By Lady Kopaka,

    I haven't been doing and feeling so well, so I figured I could buy myself a Bionicle whenever I can go out to shop. Not saying that stuff makes you truly happy, but considering the fact that I get so jittery when I'm able to afford to get anything, it's a big deal.
     
    I'm really trying (it's gunna be a miracle if I can) to save up to upgrade my poor computer that keeps lagging/crashing photoshop and refuses to play decent games, but ah well, I gotta burn some money on just one set this year!
     
    Do you guys have any advice on which one I should buy? I really can only afford one for now, and I can't get a big set probably.
  7. Lady Kopaka
    Yes, new chapter, finally! What…it’s nearly been a month since an update? I got busy reediting some stuff, and SSC was taking all my time…but I’m back in the habit of finishing these chapters! As repayment to everyone’s patience, I’ll see if I can put the next chapter up within a few days.
     
    Enjoy! I’m still super worried if I’m doing the story and its plot-twists right…so any feedback would be nice. :>

    It Ain't No Glitch...

    By Lady Kopaka,

    It's really a blog! *PLOT-TWIST*
     
    Haha, look what I did to my title Nukaya! xD *hands a cookie*
     
    So, hopefully if we don't have any other interruptions or cancelations, I should be getting my license today. I'm getting ready and is currently freaking out, so to speak. So if you guys could wish me luck or pray I don't crash while taking the driving test, that'd be nice.
     

     
    Oh and one more thing...I miss Mardi Gras. Who wants to send me up a King Cake and a pound of beads?
  9. Lady Kopaka
    I usually don't go deep about my life or feelings, but last night at church, I for once tasted something that I haven't had since I've moved, and I just was too excited just to keep it in.
     
    Just some recognition.
     
    I was sitting alone in our huge church, waiting for my class. With so many people passing by, I usually get shaky and uneasy, so I bring my art folder to draw there, it really relaxes me. Over the past few months I get a series of comments by the random adults, and sometimes the kids will pass by and give me those exaggerated comments. (A young girl said I should teach an art class, I don't think I'm that good)
     
    But they go on, and I’m left alone watching the youth play around. I feel really different and nervous around them, almost sick, but at the same time they’re really friendly and so much nicer than the older youth group I had back at my older church. So I try not to be desperate to fit in or to think resentful thoughts about them, even if the appearance of friendless is just a façade.
     
    But I was drawing, and I suddenly hear over me, “Hey, can we look at your drawings?”
    By me are a group of teenage guys, just looking at me with friendly faces. I don’t think I saw any deception or rudeness, they just seemed curious. I agreed and showed off some of the stuff I had, trying for once to sound both confident and modest in my works—but that really never works out. I just ended up tripping over my words and looking very socially inept.
     
    But they seemed to look over that and just give me a bunch of comments. “Wow, those are boss!” “You have some great skills.” “Hey dude, I think you got some competition.”
    I never got the courage to ask who else was an artist in that group.
     
    They actually asked my name, what grade I was in, and what school I went to. One of them actually gave me their name too. They didn’t seem too surprised when I said I homeschooled, and really only said “That’s cool…no wonder you’re so good, you got some extra time to work on this.” (Which is true)
     
    I just answered the questions quietly and bobbed my head dumbly. I was really too shy and shocked about this to really carry on a decent conversation. They eventually walked off to go do other stuff, but whether they really meant it or not, I felt so thankful and special for once in over a year. I pray so hard that will not be the last time they or others will come up to me. Next time I’ll try harder not to act indifferent, I really will talk next time. Cause I’m just too thankful to actually let that sensation of being talked to go.
     
    It wasn’t really me being desperate to make a friend right then, or have a boyfriend, but it was that they actually just walked up to me and talked without having a teacher or parent introducing me. Sure it was the art that got their notice, but it was nice all the same.
     
    I’m not really the most talented social individual, so thank goodness for my taste in art.

    Forgotten Letter

    By Lady Kopaka,

    Woa, I actually entered! It’s been so long since I’ve written a short story…
     
    Link
     
    This romantic story involves a certain dashing Toa who wears a vest. x3
     
    And yes, yes, still working (procrastinating...) on fixing my blog up.

    Updating

    By Lady Kopaka,

    I'm updating my blog currently. It's been almost a year since I've done something like this, so I guessed it called for redecoration. ;D
     
    Still fixing stuffs, and I might actually change my title (o:) too. Feel free to point out any suggestions.

    The Truth

    By Lady Kopaka,

    Raia and I are actually sisters but we were separated at birth cause we were just too awesome to live in the same state and if that happened the states would asplode with awesomeness but sometime later Mutran figured this out and came along and mind linked us so we always think the same thoughts like all the time and it's pretty creepy but really awesome cause now we figured out the truth!
     
    And if BZP is being slow, ask Raia to slap it and it will work. I promise, it always fixes it.
     
    *Takes a deep breath*
     
    Yep.

    New Monitor

    By Lady Kopaka,

    Weeelll...dad came home from work last night, carrying a big box.
     
    Dad is always finding spare tech stuff at his work and bringing it home. Boxes are awesome too, but what was in the box that made me <3.
     
    A 20 in. flatscreen monitor! =D So far it's simply wonderful, and seriously beats my fat dinosaur one I had for years before. Let me tell you it's so nice to have a decent amount of space on your desk now. It's so fun to work on art with...I feel all professional or something. But if I could only get all my recent next-gen games to work on it now, we’d be even better off.
     
    But you know what's sad?
     
    I just noticed my family’s TV is the same size as the monitor. Lulz.

    One Step Closer

    By Lady Kopaka,

    Passed my written test on getting my drivers license back on Wednesday, so yaaay. =D
     
    But next Wednesday, I gotta go back and do the actual driving part. Arrgh. D=
     
    Even if I get it, I won’t be able to use it too much cause of a lack of vehicle. And I have no intention of using my dad’s tank—no excuse me, I mean his truck. xP But it’ll still be exciting to have and I know getting it will make it easier on my parents. It’s also cool cause I don’t have to pay for insurance for awhile…actually, when I do get the license, my parents insurance will get a lot cheaper.
     
    …How does that work out? O_o
     
    Also on another random topic, lately I’ve been geting a lot of friend requests from people (here on BZP) I don’t know who the clue they are. I don’t want to add them obviously until I know the person, but I don’t want to ignore them either. Have some of you guys had this issue?
  15. Lady Kopaka
    Just because I homeschool, gives certain people no right to jump to conclusions that I’m an anti-social, goody-two-shoes (actually though, who said that's a bad thing?) that knows nothing of life. And I do know more people than just my family.
     
    And if I am less social or different than the ‘norm’, it was my choice, and for the most part has nothing to do with how I was raised. I respect your way of schooling and usually have never opposed it. So respect mine.
     
    Thank you.
     
    (and this isn't directed at many people here...just a real life issue :/)

    Inking... Bah!

    By Lady Kopaka,

    Why must it hates us so!? :angry:
     

    Deeplink
     
    I actually like how Komas turned out, and the overall look is alright IMO... considering inking is evil (but fun, nevertheless) and first time to really ink semi-realism. I'm smad at Tachi though, she didn't come out like I wanted at all... so yeah, if I ever draw her in HB again, she'll look a bit different.
     
    I'll colour this maybe, and I'll update my art topic with more stuffs by Saturday. ^^
     
    EDIT: ...GitS readers/fans, you do know chapter 10 is up right? :3 *Is not really begging for reviews, she's just curious*

    Case Study: Tachi

    By Lady Kopaka,

    Fellow addressees,
     
    As it is my duty and part of this job, I hold reports, biographies and other important notes pertaining key or wanted figures in my archival database, concerning the Glitch in the System case. I find it important to have these classified documents to assist not only my bureau, but for others who may be in need of this.
     
    Sincerely,
    Toa Niihlus, Security Chief of Jiahk
     
     

     
    Image 1
    Image 2
     
    Tachi
    [Tah-chEE]
     
    Species: Toa
    Gender: Female
    Structure: Slim/Agile, 6’8ft
    Element: Lightning (Electricity)
    Mask: Kanohi Mahiki, Mask of Illusion
    Occupation: Rogue/Undecided
    Weapon: Protosteel Buster Sword
     
    History: Tachi’s past is unknown. But she did know one thing: her memories were taken away by Makuta and she would stop at nothing to retain them. Her protosteel blade was a gift from a Fe-Matoran during her travels and her visor she found once during an incursion on a Makuta base. From confusing, jumbled visions or dreams she receives, Tachi believes her past was a simple one: protecting a Matoran inhabited island before the Makuta came and sought specimens.
    During her journey with Komas, she did discover she had a Toa brother named Uchik, captured and confined at a Makuta base. He warned her about a glitch in a system, and now with yet another mystery facing her, she struggles to unravel its purpose.
     
    Biography: Tachi’s personality is very straightforward. No complicated emotions, no distractions and no relations. She is a bitter and stubborn being, and over the years her hatred and frustration toward her ignorance has strengthened. She has devoted her known life to seeking revenge against the Makuta and wants nothing to do with the outside world. Beyond her coldness and apparent emotionless attitude, she truly is an honest being at heart, but struggles with finding any hope at all during her journey.
     
    Author’s Commentary: When you have a dashing male Toa, wouldn’t it be logical to have that coldhearted and dangerous female partner too? Tachi’s character clicked perfectly in with what I wanted and is the main star of GitS. A lot of her struggles, personality and general outlook came from personal and inner feelings in me that needed to be expressed in some way. Still, all us girls (and boys) just wonder how Tachi can be so distant with our dear Komas, it’s simply annoying!

    Hb Komas Design

    By Lady Kopaka,

    Deeplink
     
    I'm surprised I didn't show this sooner, he's much too fun to draw for his own good. xP
     
    Just finalizing his human version look and outfits; I could had spent hours more on this picture being picky about proportions and other details, but bah, I’ll fix them later…yes I know, I say that all the time!
     
    ...gotta love that tight black shirt on him though. :3

    Winners

    By Lady Kopaka,

    Hey guys! Ready to see the winners to the Design a ‘Glitch’ Character contest?
     
    Before scrolling down, I just wanted to say that I got so many awesome entries I broke down and instead of allowing just one winner, there are now three! Along with that are also two honorable mentions. =)

    ~Winners~ 
     
    Jithra wins with her ‘Szian’s Servant’ design! Congrats!
    When I first saw this image, I immediately fell in love with it. Not only because of the talent, but it was one of those perfect renditions of a character. Probably even better than if I tried!
     
     
    Zebrow wins with his Captain Yuuzian design!
    With all the Yuuzians, I just had to pick one. I really enjoyed this design of him because it had a nice classic pirate aura about it, but very Skakdi just the same. Its style and design really stuck out for me.
     
     
    Eliama: Toa of Sharpies wins with her Vheon design!
    This image was just too cute to pass! I could totally imagine Vhoen like this. Very formal and cool, but it also looks like the pirates have grown on him. And you just can’t go wrong with dashing dreadlocks.
     
     
    Thanks for entering, and congratulations! Your designs are now official for those characters! But we still have one last thing to clear up:
     
     

    ~Honorable Mentions~ 
     
    Creolé by Raia Svit-Kona
    This image was just so snazzy; it nearly made it to become a winner. I loved the design of him and certain quirks about him…the boots, his face, the gun, it really helped his character.
     
     
    Toa Uchik by Onyx.5
    It had a strange and unique style to this, and even through its humanoid appearance, I really loved certain parts of him. Like the torso, his legs, and just that overall creepy and that ‘broken’ feeling.
     
     
    Though the finalists didn’t win, they do get something. Their designs are now considered to be the ‘concepts’ of the characters. Half official, if you get my drift. If I ever get to designing them, their renditions will be the base of when I decide to finalize them.
     
    Thank you so much guys, I had a lot of fun. Warning to the winners though, if I ever decide to draw those said characters, pardon me if I might change a thing or two…we can blame the artistic license. =P
     
    Sorry to those who didn’t win, but I really did enjoy all of your entries and it was seriously a hard choice! Someday I may decide to do something like this again, but for now, please enjoy the winners beautiful art!
  22. Lady Kopaka
    Sorry I haven’t been around guys…got tied up with stuff and been kinda sickish. ><; But anyway, the deadline’s over finally! I allowed some late entries to slip in though, so don’t worry about that guys.
     
    Anyway, as I begin to decide (which is going to be quite hard!), here’s all the wonderful entries. Feel free to point out what you guys would like, but don’t forget to give a cookie to all of these guys! They made some great stuff and I appreciate it greatly. =D

    Well, that’s them all I think, thanks again! Also, I have been informed by a few friends that they have entries but they are trying to finish them...If you guys can finish them before tonight (like, 12am), I will add them to the entry list.
     
    I'm spending today judging, and either tomorrow or the day after I will announce the winner. But to make sure I don’t do anything unfair by accident, I’m going to ask a few friends who are truly unbiased to these BZP artists (they don’t usually go to BZP, but are familiar with GITS) to throw in their opinion in to assist with the final decision.
     
    So hang tight, the winner will be announced soon enough! =)
  23. Lady Kopaka
    IMPORTANT UPDATE! I'm extending the deadline to January 18th! A few people requested this because of the busy holiday season. Please notice, this will be the last extension, so please get your entries in! Thank you!
     

     

    Design a ‘glitch’ character contest! 
    Hello everyone! Lately, I’ve been having a fun time with Glitch in the System, and I also am aware a lot of you guys are enjoying it too. So, I thought why not make some fun contest to bring other peoples' ideas in the story?
    So I considered it, and now this is official: the purpose is to design a minor character in the story. If you win, the design will be that said characters official look in the BZP epic, Glitch in the System.
     
    Now let’s get down to the technical stuff. Who are you allowed to design? Well, any minor character of your choice. It could be a character as prominent as Captain Yuuzian, or to those Matoran fishermen we met back in Section 5.
     
     

    Basic Rules: 
    - Like I said above, any minor character is allowed. Characters that are not allowed although are the characters Tachi, Komas, Makuta Szian, Zerak, and Niihlus.
     
    - Only one entry per person and you can only design one character. If you feel you should be allowed to enter more than one image, please say so, but I believe I'm going to stick with just one.
     
    - Obviously, follow all BZP rules. Nothing too gory, revealing, or offending.
     
    - It must be a new drawing never seen before on BZP.
     
    - You’re allowed to enter a digital, traditional, or even a 3D design of a character—they can be doing something, or it could just be them in a ‘Character Sheet’. I’m iffy about edits or MoCs cause I want this to be an art contest, but I may make exceptions.
     
    - I usually don’t like the voting system, so I will judge and have a few friends offer their opinions. I will also read through the entries and comments to see which entries you guys like the most as well.
     
    - I’m going to be as unbiased as possible. I will not be choosing who is the most talented or popular; it will be decided on the originality, and what best suits the character.
     

    General Information: 
    - It will depend on the number of entries, but only one or two entries will be the winners. So, I may get a bunch of entries with different characters, but there will only be one ‘canon’ character. The rest of the characters that did not get a final appearance in the contest will be finished by me.
     
    - It would be encouraged that you are a GitS admirer, or at least someone who is familiar with it to enter. In my epic, I do describe most characters in one way or another. True, you are the designer, but just be aware of how I originally planned the character. For example, Szian’s servant is green and dangly, so while you can have fun with different approaches, I probably wouldn’t allow someone who made him tall, red, and didn’t suit the GitS theme to win.
     
    - If you are uncertain of choosing a character right away—that’s fine. I have two chapters in the works that will be finished (hopefully) before the deadline; you can wait and read those to get a better idea of some characters. You can also contact me to inquire of a character you’d like to draw.
     
    - Just to be nice to you guys, here’s a list of the characters that are allowed to be designed. Choose any—I might be missing a few, and any descriptions of the characters you can find yourself. (Or I suppose, if you ask nicely I could find and show you)
    Szian’s Servant Philo T'Sak Makuta Muurax Captain Yuuzian Vheon Creolé Zimriah Naosu Usoan Toa Uchik Other?

    Snow Returns

    By Lady Kopaka,

    Through all the crud that's been happening, there's one thing that's making me feel better.
     
    It's snowing here finally. It’s not much and it isn’t really building up on the ground, but it's enough to hearten me. I think I'm going to walk outside and just sit by the frozen pond on the dock and just try to relax. Boy do I need some fresh air.
     
    Edit: Back inside (it was beautiful out there) enjoying a warm cup of African Red Tea while sitting here enjoying this peac--no wait, family is stressing me and now I got to do work around the house. It was fun while it lasted.

    Feedback

    By Lady Kopaka,

    Well, we get entries, topics, and other things about how you should review and all that jazz... but I just want to clear something up real quick. I've discussed this with a few friends and I just want to explain something that I think most people can agree with.
     
    Truthfully I can't find the real reason why this is true, but unlike art we authors really appreciate any sort of feedback. I'm not trying to make anyone guilty, nor am I talking about myself. I'm mainly just saying this in general to a lot of people who struggle with writing here sometimes. People really, really like to know that you're reading the epic, short story, or comedy they wrote.
     
    Unlike art, you already know how many people look and leave. Looking art is relatively simple; no matter the enjoyment or emotion you'll receive from it, it's just a click of the button. Even though we’d like posts in anything we create, I can understand why some people would not feel like posting or why we—the artists—would not want certain people to post.
     
    But writings are a bit different, it takes longer to do. I think the easiest way to view it is: if someone took the time to read something of yours, no matter how long or short (especially the long though), they could spare the time to post and say they read it. It could be a long review or even just saying they enjoyed it, it’s all cool. Keeping up with that said story (epics) and posting when they can as updates arrive is a plus too. Also don't worry about getting in some apparently useless ramble, rant, or discussion about the story. Writers usually like to hear your views, likes, or even dislikes on the story.
     
    Authors WANT to know who's reading it.
     
    So my humble advice is to you guys: if you read the story, please give that author a comment. They usually don’t care if it’s a review, simple comment, or babbling about what they liked—it’s all encouraging to them (but friendly critique is always welcomed). A person may quit writing a story because they are not getting any reviewers, when in fact they might actually have some more. But they don’t know that.
     
    I’m not forcing anyone and it’s your choice to post how you like. =) But still, being considerate about this would be mighty nice to a lot of the writers here on BZP.
