  1. Here is how I group the matoran.

     

    First,there is High Matoran Culture, which is based in Metru-Nui. Highly advanced and have a custom of having the top of their masks be silver.

     

    Standard Matoran Culture, which as you can guess it, is the most widespread culture for the matoran race. it is primitive but also has access to some technology, such as chutes,mining rails, and ski carts. I imagine they being much like the matoran of the island of Mata-Nui.

     

    Then, there is Frontier Matoran Culture, which has no advanced technology and barely anything beyond primitve/basic stuff (spears and stonework) and might go so far as to say that such technology is magic. I also imagine they have taken to worshiping other beings than Mata Nui as deities, like the smith master (artakha), the punishing one (Karzanhi), the dark skinchangers (Makuta race), etc. Oh, and they paint their masks maori-style.

  2. This happened to my Mom a couple of years ago when she was 'let go' from a job (conspiracy to fire her, but that's for another day), and when she was trying to find a new job she looked at Walgreens. They told her that they accept only new folks and that she was way too over qualified. She was quite ticked.

  3. Are you kidding? Your work with markers is great! Haven't used markers since middle school, but I don't think I could do that without loads of practice first. EDIT: Forgot to mention: the loneliness of the detailed woman in the midst of emptiness in the first picture makes me want to wrap an arm around her. Great job on making me have emotion towards your drawing, doesn't happen often.

     

    Also, be thankful that you are capable of drawing all the time. For some reason, once I graduated high school, I just stopped drawing. I miss doing it, but I have been lacking in drawing inspiration and will for a couple of years now. I am still using the same sketch book I got from a few years ago, making a new doodle every several months. But seeing all of your doodles kind of inspires me. Lets hope it goes into a drawing and its not just wasted. :P

  4. My SteamID is Iaredios, and I have about 70-some odd purchases on Steam. Some insight into your interests might help in game recommending, but I can share some of mine that you might take interest in.

     

    The Travels of Marco Polo is an atmospheric click-based adventure/puzzle game, but as it is based on a historical person and his supposed life, it is pretty linear.

    Team Fortress 2 is a good free FPS game, silly and is based around team work (if the name didn't give anything away).

    Banished is an eerily beautiful RTS game where you have to keep your settlers alive, most of the time you will see them rot away from the elements or hunger so there is replayability. Music is relaxing.

    Valiant Hearts: The Great War is a beautiful historical side-scroller with a heartwarming narrator and realistic characters as they go through World War 1 (though some implausible stuff happens because it is a video game).

    Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee is a classic side-scroller with both tension, beauty, darkness, and dark comedy. Set on a far away planet of Oddworld, the corporate businessmen and investors of Rupture Farms have driven an animal the used to extinction and the two others they use are now endangered, so to save the company the CEO plans to use his own 'employees' as the new meat-source. Horrified, the janitor Abe sets out to free as many of his enslaved people as he can.

    Serious Sam Classic: The First Encounter. Want to play an old arcade-style FPS game with barely any story and only exists so that you can have a muscular guy from the future fight monsters and aliens in insane combat set in bronze-age Ancient Egypt? Well, here you go. It won't hold your hand, so prepare to be spraying all of your ammo and dread the sound of the AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

    FTL: Faster Than Light. This indie game is simple yet addictive, and appoints you as the captain of a spaceship that has to outrun a large rebel fleet as you try to get to the capital sector, all the while having space fights and adventures along the way. You will die, A LOT, but it's part of the experience and the fun.

  5. Ah, I know what it feels like to lose a wardrobe like that. Don't worry, you'll find some new stuff to get attached to. I have a shirt I keep that doesn't fit me simply for the memories, you could do the same with your jacket. When I stopped drinking soda for a few years I could feel my body get better, so health is always more important than material goods (even if I did lose my ability to wear my huge ostrich shirt...).

     

    Your portrait off to the side reminds me of stuff from the Thirty Year's War, in thine stylization of course.

    I don't know if it would be a reverse Freudian Slip, but I do think that there is a cooler way to be caught stealing something.

     

    It's stealing something from space. :)

    No, it's stealing something from a cooler.

     

    Steal from Pluto and get the best of both worlds!

     

     

    Pssh, its all about that Planet X, don'tchya know?

  7. We wont know until we see the movie. Lets keep our minds open about this until then.

     

    Wouldn't be the first time I underwent a change of feeling about an upcoming movie. I was really excited for Dawn of Justice, looking forward to it more than The Force Awakens. Then came the trailer with 'Doomsday'.....
