Charactersheet for a young adult wyvern I skeched a couple of weeks ago. With a little uplifting line to go along with it. "You are young. You are brave. You are free. The skies are yours to conquer." Enjoy.

I haven't been drawing so much BIONICLE stuff recently, I know that. This is because I'm currently very involved and excited about working on concept art for a possible fantasy story. I may post some character sheets later, if you want to see them. EDIT: Here's one now! -Nuju Metru Oh, and BtW, WHO rated my blog low? I just dropped .3 of a star! >

starting a fad No, I'm not. Just trying out a little idea I had on the spur of the moment. Idle hands. . . You know how, back in preschool, they had you trace out your hand on a piece of construction paper or whatever? The hand-tracing thing is such a basic staple of the human learning process, I bet you any kid would do it spontaneously even if they'd never been shown the concept. Or at least, short of tracing their hand, they'd naturally discover the archetypal appeal of the handprint. I don't think of myself as an artist or a visionary. Even if this were to become a fad (which it won't), it wouldn't be because my idea is so fresh and clever, but perhaps because of the way it taps into something primal in human consciousness. And even that's a stretch. OK, here's what I did: This was done by the same method as those preschool tracings, with only a slight twist. I literally laid my hand on the screen of my laptop and traced it in Photoshop (MSPaint would be equally capable) using the mouse. The challenge, of course, lies in keeping the hand position and viewing angle constant while simultaneously guiding the brush with enough precision to produce an acceptably accurate silhouette. The experience is quite exhilarating, actually. One could obviously achieve a much cleaner outcome with much more variety of hand postures much more easily by simply tracing digital photos, but that would completely miss the point of doing it this way. The oddly mediated tactile-technological intimacy, the self-discovery aspect, would devolve into a mere mechanical exercise. I'm not an expert on computer displays, but I'm pretty sure different screens, even at the same resolution and DPI, will show the full-sized image at slightly different scales. That's unfortunate and pretty much kills the natural social outgrowth of this idea, comparing your own hand to someone else's tracing -- but then, I'm not starting a fad, am I? I thought it was fun. You might as well give it a try if you've got the time on your hands. What say? <o> <o>

I don't generally draw very morbid stuff, but it was for a contest on another forum: Here's the contest-host's description. I think I captured it fairly well.

Lady Kopaka is one of the newer artists to hit the Bionicle spotlight, emerging at the tail-end of the Third Wave of Bionicle Art (post-RZ) before the latest set-style revival hit the BZP Creative Outlet. When Lady K emerged from the primordial ooze with her romantic yet humorous artwork, Rahi Zaku had been banned, the Razor sprite fad was in its final death throes and the Organic movement was in full power. Yet it did not take long for the Lady to attract the attention of Art Forum browsers. Her art topics, as well as her intriguing prose, gradually grew in popularity. With some helpful encouragement from Nikira, then the unchallenged Queen of Bionicle Art, Lady K soon became the latest "new RZ." While Nikira worked in a cute-ish, more manga-centric style of anthro-chibi, the Lady's style was darker, applying fewer cartoon elements and working in a more realistic style. One could say she was the most radical of the anthro-Bionicle artists, building even further on the organic-movie fusion style popularized by post-ToA Second Wave artists. Lady K has continued to produce breathtaking works of art and prose fiction and is showing no signs of slowing down. While not a particularly influential artist, she remains one of the best Bionicle artists of all time in many BZPers' opinions.

I regret to inform you all that I shall no longer be taking requests for art, nor shall I complete the ones on my list. They've just been stressing me out, and I never get to them, therefore I've decided to discontinue that aspect of my art. I hope you understand. -Nuju Metru

I just thought up simultaneously the best and worst band name of all time:

Atticus Scrounge, the counselor for Stickington School. Known for his intensely, dangerously bad advice. He'll get you put in jail if you take what he says too literally. An unnamed conspiracy theorist. I'll let the picture do the talking. Mr. Norman. Beneath his tired exterior lies a cunning mind which he uses to aggressively run his very ambiguous business. It's the kinda business with cubicles and paperwork, you know? A young, productive and upright fellow who works for Mr. Norman. Everyone hates him because he has no concept of fun beyond high office morale, but all the companies want him working for them because he's so ungodly... Productive. He tends to abbreviate words unnecessarily and refer to people by their initials for efficiency, which ticks people off a lot. He is oblivious to this. Referred to most commonly as "The New Kid" or, when he's not new, "The Kid." He's not a hitchhiker so just stop pulling over all the TIME FOR ME! I AM A ROADSIDE EXPLORER! NOT A HITCHHIKER! Savelli's a nice kid. Coach Flimsy hates Savelli because he's unfit. As such, he has him run demeaning little circles apart from the rest of the PE class for "special exercise" while all the other kids play games. Coach Flimsy is known for being extremely verbally abusive.
