    So I never got around to posting this, but this was my Maya final last semester. I might do the mask and tool and whatnot when I have some free time, but don't hold me to it.
     

     
    His geometry is really complicated, with lots of Booleans and things. If I turn on rounding, all the holes in his body pucker up like nasty buttholes

    Bahahaha

    By Wrinkledlion X,

    Ahahaha holy creck. I just remembered for the first time in ages that I'm a lifetime Premier Member on BZPower. This means that, at some point back in elementary school, I actually shelled out forty dollars so that I could start quiz topics and have little icons next to my name. Blogs weren't even an option at the time.
     
    I can't believe these things were once among my top priorities as a human being

    Velika no

    By Wrinkledlion X,

    Okay, so I know I'm not active on here anymore, but these 2015 rumors are drawing me back to my old internet haunts.
     
    I just wanted to say: does anyone else completely disapprove of this Velika-as-a-Great-Being twist? I remember Velika and the other Voya Nui Matoran being a huge breath of fresh air when they were introduced, because it was a return to the fun, quirky Matoran characters we used to see back in MNOLG times. Why does every character who's a bit of an oddball have to have some secret evil agenda? why can't we just have fun
     
    Anyway, I hope this plot thread is dropped when Bionicle comes back, assuming it isn't just a reboot anyways.

    Daaang

    By Wrinkledlion X,

    These relaxed rules are WHACK, yo. Am I allowed to swear yet ??
     
    But seriously, it feels weird being able to type out words like "Facebook" and "YouTube" on here—I keep getting the impulse to stop myself. But now I get to share all the things I've been keeping from you for so long. These BZP regulations have driven a wedge between us for years.

    My YouTube is mostly redundant, but I'll include my most-viewed video, in celebration of today's landmark:

     
    In other news:
     
    I'm feeling nostalgic. After I heard they were deleting the archives, I went back and re-read a bunch of ancient posts. People debating whether or not the Rahkshi were dark Toa, people arguing about whether 2004 would take place in the future or the past—stuff like that. We need to get some BIONICLE action going around here again.

    3D Printing

    By Wrinkledlion X,

    I wish BIONICLE was still alive, because just think what could be done among the fan community with 3D printing. That Ignika on the front page blows me away. I remember struggling in 2001 to make custom masks out of clay. CLAY!
     
    I always thought it would be so cool to be one of these guys, making masks, taking names, and now that's within anyone's reach at a site like [Don't link to sites with forums. -Shine].
     
    SOMEBODY MAKE ME ONE OF THESE RIGHT NOW OR I'LL HIT YOU
    I'LL TRACK YOU DOWN
    AND I'LL HIT YOU

    I just wrote an immensely long post in the Unpopular Opinions Thread, and I thought I'd re-post it here, because it sums up pretty completely my opinion on BIONICLE's writing for the past seven years. BEHOLD!

    Ja, New Art

    By Wrinkledlion X,

    Commander Kummervoll is the head officer of a German U-boat.
     
    He’s always depressed, so his crew suffers from low morale. Their submarine does nothing but hug the bottom of the ocean all day, and he never opens fire on enemy ships because he just doesn't feel like it.

    So, Bronies

    By Wrinkledlion X,

    You know, a few weeks ago I was reflecting on the rise of bronies on the internet, and it occurred to me that if BZP ever came back, it would be exactly the sort of place where bronies thrive. Lo and behold, it's back, and bronies litter the netscape. Now, the real question is: what will Greg think of the ponies he sees when he returns?

    My Eagle Project

    By Wrinkledlion X,

    Since Vorahk1Panrahk2 asked:
     
    I've participated in falconry with my family since 2003 (we hunt with trained hawks), so I chose to renovate a Bird of Prey Rehab center that I've been volunteering at for years. It's on a 100-acre property devoted mainly to holding weddings with exotic animals—they have tigers and zebras and such—and most of it is done in beautiful Spanish architecture. Except for the Bird of Prey Center.
     
    That's done in "hideous junkyard shack" style architecture.
     
    It's been the secret shame of the place for years despite having some of the most impressive animals (bald eagles, great horned owls, peregrine falcons, etc.), so I decided to make it presentable.
     
    Here's a before and after shot:
     

     
    (We might as well have just moved the building to a different location based on the picture.)
     
    I oversaw the removal of many tons of building materials and garbage from the area, including 12x12" timbers, cinder blocks, stacks of plate glass, lamp posts, a shattered stone fountain, a 10'-diameter satellite dish, and loads more.
     

     
    I then installed concrete ramps leading in and out of the facility, as the inside floor is made of gravel, which must be replaced from time to time for cleaning purposes. (Most of the volunteers there are aging hippie-ladies, so lifting wheelbarrows of gravel over the threshold isn't an easy task.)
     

     
    Then we welded some stainless steel poles to braces so that we could mount them to the wall to set up a sunshade. We drilled holes with a masonry drill and affixed the poles with epoxy (that's high-end seismic retrofit stuff), so that they can withstand several thousand pounds of lift from the shade. Now, volunteers can set up perches and the birds have a weathering area.

     
    We then drilled in some eye-hooks and strung up an entry chain:
     

     
    I then worked with my grandfather (a master woodcarver) to put together an official-looking sign for the place:
     

     

     
    Overall, it took 11 days of actual labor on the project, and 368 man-hours from planning to completion.

    Gunfights 8

    By Wrinkledlion X,

    In his latest movie, action hero Chris Caliber has to track down a vicious serial killer known only as "The Beekeeper." (We're only starting filming on this tomorrow, so it'll be a while... But believe me, it's gonna be awesome.)

    Old Fanfics

    By Wrinkledlion X,

    I'm feeling really nostalgic for my old Chronicles of Krahiki fanfics all of a sudden. Does anyone remember reading them at all? I've just been looking through all the Review topics, and I had a lot of really glowing reviews, like this one from Snoopy82 (a great writer himself, as we all know):
     

    I mean, dang. That's high praise, right there. I didn't appreciate this when I had it, and now my writing skills have fallen into disuse... I really regret not finishing the sequel now, but the audience is gone. Maybe I ought to do an art topic to show all the ideas I never brought to fruition? If anyone who followed my stories is still on here and interested, it'd be worth it just for them. I'm wallowing in lameness and suckage right now.

    Ninjago

    By Wrinkledlion X,

    At dinner tonight, we got into a debate with my little cousin over the white Ninjago minifigure he was playing with. His older siblings and I pointed out that a character dressed entirely in white doesn't make a very good assassin, but he stubbornly defended it until I pointed out that it could be a snow-ninja, to which he responded, "Yeah, like an eskimo!"
     
    We spent the next twenty minutes trying to convince him that ninjas and eskimos are entirely unrelated.

    Bionicle Movies

    By Wrinkledlion X,

    I think that for consistency's sake, they should've given the Rahaga in WoS the same heads as the Rahkshi in MoL. That way, Vakama would be all "No one understands me" and Norik would just be like "BLARARGH"

    Polls

    By Wrinkledlion X,

    Something I've never understood: Why is it a rule that any topic asking a yes/no question has to be a poll? It seems to me that if a topic-starter wants to incite a discussion, a poll is the worst way to do it.
