    Wow, that's an incredible idea! As a guy with a soft spot for alternate builds, I'm liking the idea. It's so amazing what you can turn your sets into with just a little imagination. As for the people with the sets featured on the site, they now have a bunch of new ways to mess around with their sets. Heck, some might even be inspired to build and share their own original alternate models. We're onto something, folks. Side note: I want to get that space shuttle set so I can build the X-Shuttle.

    DREAMS

    Sybre replied to Tarn's topic in Completely Off Topic

    I actually remember having dreams where I was killed by wild animals. In the first dream, it was a wolf. The second dream's animal was a mountain lion. All I can say is I'm grateful that I've never met either of these animals out in the wild. I think I also had a dream where I had Iron Man armor. I distinctly remember flying around in the clouds in first person view while wearing Iron Man armor. I think I ended up fighting Tony Stark as well, but woke up before the fight could conclude. It's my turn to envy you.

    I like the thought, but I think we'd all look weird going around the forums and saying "Happy Naming Day" when no significant name-related events have occurred. Sure, somebody could strategically change their display name on the day, but why base a whole day around it when there's only one or two people changing their names that day? Then again, if BZPower offered a free name change that day for whoever wanted one, now we're thinking.

    Thank you! Yes Perfect Cell was my main reference since he's the only character I was able to find wearing full armor. I considered making Takanuva wear less armor (Like the Sayan Armor that has nothing on the legs), but then I thought "What if I ever decide to make a Toa Mata"? And of course the cherry is cut in as many pieces as the slices of cake You're welcome! The reference was a real benefit, since it helped Takanuva fit in, but one thing I forgot to mention was how he still had some original details that Perfect Cell didn't have, like those horizontal lines going down his torso. The Toa Mata really should look a little more basic, and I think that Saiyan Armor, with a few minor modifications, would work as Nuva armor, but I'll leave that up to you. That would be some small cuts! I've actually seen that done before, but in a humanized style. Hidron Nuva could definitely pull it off in the same style as Takanuva.

    I'm beginning to get the hang of GIMP, so now, I can finally resume production on Root of Vengeance!

  6. Sybre
    Yeah, I think everyone can agree n that. But I think what OP is saying is to push that title back to allow for more in between. I'm sure someone out there would disagree with me, but that was to be expected. And that's not what the polls said, but pushing back that title to make room for more is actually not a bad idea.

    What video game infuriates you the most? My answer would probably be Shovel Knight. Game's fair, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't maddening. Nowadays, I don't yell at games. Shovel Knight is the one exception. It makes me so mad so fast that I have to vent just as quickly by raising my voice. What about you?

      That would definitely get a rise out of me, too. So, you screamed in rage pretty much every time you checked back with her to see if the part was fixed?

    3. Makuta Luroka

      Makuta Luroka

      essentially. Didn't actually scream, because I have more control than that, but was definitely feeling some upset.

    4. Sybre

      Sybre

      Understandable either way. 5 years and still no fix? That's like neglect for video games.

  8. Sybre
    As cool as it would be to go further than that, think of it from a story perspective. You start off as a Matoran and post your way to Toa-hood. Your many member titles take you on all sorts of different hypothetical adventures and you conquer powerful foes along the way, even going for a dip in Protodermis at some point. Hundreds of posts turn to thousands, and eventually, you reach the "Destiny Fulfilled!" title. For a Toa, that means it's time to hang up the Toa tools and armor and become a Turaga. We all know that becoming a Turaga does not mean instant death. When the Toa Metru became Turaga, they continued to live among the Matoran and acted as elders for them. Therefore, it would make sense for "Destiny Fulfilled!", "Village/Koro Elder", or the like to be the final title. After thinking of it that way, do you still want anything above that?

    It could be that it snaps together in the back somehow. And of course, as the host of a fashion show like this I'm sure she had people to help her get ready.Considering the dress is LEGO, I find your theory plausible. And of course she would have help, but I imagine the helpers probably had their work cut out for them.
  10. Sybre
    The dress looks incredible! The design is creative and it looks like she can actually walk in it. But how does she get it on and off? The dress is really form-fitting on her sides, so I can imagine it isn't an easy process. I've also seen wearable Spartan armor from Halo made out of LEGO bricks. However, it was just the plating and not the undersuit.

    I originally came here to talk about Vorox's blue pins, but I believe Aanchir brought up a good point with the whole "splashes of color" thing. That being said, anything silver on Tarix felt really out of place and Berix's feet didn't sit well with me. In my opinion, his feet don't make much sense when arranged with the rest of the colors that way. Looks like he's wearing shoes or something. After seeing feet that fit in with color schemes for years, Berix's feet weren't a refreshing change. Nice to get the Mata feet in that color, though!

    I'm even willing to bet that he will be annoying, but will also have a loud, loyal fanbase that will make the rest of us even more sick of him. Wait a minute..... small, somewhat yellow, large goggles, annoying with annoying fanbase ... ... ... Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Oh man... This is gonna be the guess to end all guesses... Tracer...?

    After seeing the new Robin and Joker, I'm starting to see why Batman didn't really bring them up in The LEGO Movie. However, gotta give props to the Joker; his hair's hilarious! I'm even willing to bet that he will be annoying, but will also have a loud, loyal fanbase that will make the rest of us even more sick of him.

    For me, it was always the sets. Ever since I got my first BIONICLE in 2005, I cared way more about the sets. Sure, I would do my best to keep up with the main story as much as I could, but that was usually after getting myself a couple of sets. Also, if it was no sets and just story, I could just get some sets and come up with my own story. That's part of the fun with LEGO in general, am I right?
  15. Sybre
    Like I said, it was her first time building anything with LEGO, so we can kinda expect a little blockiness. Once I teach her some better techniques and how parts work, we may revamp it later on to clear up some of those issues. And you're not familiar with Bumblebee from the live-action Transformers movies? This was modeled after his appearance in the first three films. No worries; it's a common aspect on cars made by budding MOCists. Not a bad idea. Then you can also have her expand beyond cars eventually! Dang, I loved Bumblebee when those movies came out! I haven't seen any of those movies in years, so my memory's fuzzy. Sorry about that!
  16. Sybre
    I'm no expert on the particular car, so I'm gonna leave the judgment of accuracy to somebody else. But seeing it as just a LEGO car, I'd say that's pretty impressive for a first MOC. The car's shape is a little blocky on some parts, especially the roof, but I'm not sure how intentional that was. Putting that and the visible studs aside, I can tell this is supposed to be a pretty sleek car. And the ability to fit in minifigures really makes the car for me. I think this is a good first MOC, even if I'm uneducated when it comes to so much as the appearance off the source material. Also, reducing the amount of visible studs would really improve the car's sleekness, but that's up to your girlfriend.

    A game where you physically walk out of your house and tame Rahi is a game that I would play religiously. However, I don't think a reskin for Pokémon Go would be too good of an idea. It would need some of the gameplay suggestions that the other members came up with.

    I'm going to learn to use GIMP in order to boost the visual quality of Root of Vengeance. Wish me luck!

      Good luck ive heard good things of that program.

      Thanks! It's a pretty tough program to use, though. Luckily, some comic makers before me have left tutorials to help me along. I should really revisit those... GIMP's a pretty good program, but I'd be lying if I said it was simple to learn.

    Wow, when did the quote collection get taken out? I loved it. My favorites were when people were telling you that you were dead. Good laughs were had on my part.

      Oh, cool! I'll have to reread them sometime. Can't pass up timeless classics like those, after all. Are you still updating the collection?

      I haven't lately, I simply haven't found one worth a spot on my wall of fame.

    4. Sybre

      Sybre

      Makes sense. You can't just preserve every moment in which you purposely wind somebody up or step out of line. That would really water down the collection. Well, when you do post a new quote, I'll be waiting.

    Sybre replied to phinto's topic in Comics

    And I'm glad you do, but what I'm saying is that the new ones will be easier to find and read if you mark the latest comic(s) as "new" in the main post and link to the new comic in the announcement post. The second thing is optional, but if you at least do the first thing, I can find your new comics a little easier. I'm not trying to beat you up or anything; I love your comics and you've improved when it came to announcement etiquette, but I initially had a tough time finding that Dallior comic. I think my overall observation skills (and I use the term generously) might have something to do with it, but it'll just be convenient, you know? okay, but can you show me the example ?? im confused... For starters, I see you're putting in the "new" marker! Nice touch! I hate to be nitpicky, but you don't need the quotation marks. Putting that aside, good job! Now, let's pretend I'm you for a second. I just finished a comic and I'm going to make an announcement post. "Alright, here's the new comic." or "I've posted a new comic. Link" You don't have to say what I said word for word, but you get the point. It'll save your readers some time and they can respond faster. Also, saw the new panels. That arm thing took me by surprise too! And the spill thing, man. I dunno how Wairu kept it together. I guess he was too busy raging! And sitting on that alarmingly large pile of gaming gear. as you look closer at the last panel, the sexy wet kanini just made dallior nosebleed. Oh, I noticed! Just forgot to bring that up. Bled less than I thought, to be honest.

    Root of Vengeance

    Sybre replied to Sybre's topic in Comics

    You must like my comics way more than I do! "Self-loathing" aside, it sucks that I had to can Sybregatory, but it was for the best. I don't think I could have run it for long. Fun fact: I was originally going to use Sybregatory's characters in the intro of Root of Vengeance, but decided I didn't like the idea. The last signs of Sybregatory left are the time placement, the dead Sybres, and the threat causing them all to die. Anyway, good to know you're coming back! Thanks! I actually haven't seen Dragon Ball Z in a while, but you must have read Chapter 0, which was indeed inspired by DBZ. Since Chapters 1 and beyond will have some anime references, expect to see more inspired parts! Thanks! I'm glad you like them! I always had a soft spot for the Xanis kit because it was one of the most expressive and posable kits on the whole site, and now it's weird to see that it's become a rarity. Figured it couldn't hurt to finally use it in published work. Nice to know you're also coming back! Thanks for reading! Yeah, pretty much. I was gonna put them on BZPower long before Sybregatory, but never came up with something I liked. Now I've come up with something I like: justice. I'm looking forward to introducing all the members, and not just to justice. I had no idea you liked my work so much. Thanks! It's great that you're back, too! I was proud of the humor in the comic and I'm pretty relieved that you liked it. The Sybress is pretty rude, but she kinda reminds me of the Sybre in my previous works. You'll be seeing some more Sybre-grade rudeness later on, so brace yourself!

    Man, have I been gone a while. Anyway, just read the Dallior comic. Another job well done! Dallior's introduction is certainly unique among other guest introductions, and it's great that the characters are showing more personality. From what I could piece together, Phinto's a bit of a snark, Wairu is quick to anger (nice touch; there's some real-life truth to that), and Hukster is calm and a tad mean. I already know how Kanini is, so I don't need to bring her up. The amount of personality in this comic makes it one of my favorites in this series. Keep it up, man! The comics really benefit from it! Before I go, two things. Number 1: It's funny that Wairu sucks at video games, considering I usually suffer during multiplayer matches. I don't get that worked up about multiplayer anymore, but when playing a solo game, I will often raise my voice at times. And if the Smash game is Project M, I have multiple ways of winning, unless Hukster's a pro-level player or something. Number 2: When announcing a new comic, you want it to be easily found. Two things you can do are link to it in the post announcing the new comic and put the word "new" next to the link to the latest comic. That's all for now. See you next time!
