Chem exam today, but tomorrow another update for my characters! :D

Talvi, you have checked your PMs, right?

Wait, since when have dwarves learned to re-stack stuff?

Anyway, worry not about the lack of updates, I have been playing my save and taking notes, and I will put it into story form later.

I did, however, find some of my notes on fitting a Bionicle character into this transdimensional cesspool, and why anyone would really care. I turned them into a little exposition:

Impressive. Not only are you a Bionicle fanboy with writing talent, but one who knows that the Makuta is actually a group rather than one badass motherf***er.

Eh, while Bionicle is awesome and all, I don't really think another IP shoehorned into canon is that useful... :/

Oh wait, I'm assuming the job of Mr Frog. Heheh.

@Asea:

The mythical scanner has been found!!! Holy crap.

*ahem*

Not gonna lie, I'm not even really exactly sure what I'm supposed to be seeing in that first one... I see a blast door of some sort being raised/lowered, revealing a hallway which has been hastily (and unsuccessfully) barricaded with bricks in order to prevent something from getting in (or maybe out?). Not sure what the thing is sitting in the hallway; it looks to be anything from a pile of scientific instruments to a very oddly-dressed humanoid.

My advice, should you choose to take it, is to work on defining dimensions better. I can make out the individual 2-D shapes comprising the image (worthy of praise by itself -- pencil's a bitch to work in), but I'm having difficulty assembling them into a coherent scene. Try varying the thickness of the outlines to give an idea of how close each shape is to the viewer in relation to each other (e.g. a thicker outline means it's closer; a really thin line means the two shapes are touching each other side-by-side).


@Reudh:

I'm kind of sketchy about tying Bionicle in, too, but it's not so much because it's another IP as it is because it's kind of a huge thing to not have ever been mentioned before in-story. It's still possible to pull off if one can provide an airtight reason as to why none of it had come up yet, but I'd advise extreme caution on Tahu's part.

EDIT. as the frog passed me in the upload line.
The first image is a blast door closing just before a barricade with a guard guarding.

OH! a warning. I cant spell. At all. Que the errors.
Oddly enough the last sentence had no errors, while i spell sentence wrong here... twice.

And Asea, that's awesome - I can see a lot of time and effort's gone into that work :D

Ah, the bane of old work.

If you're capable of finding flaws in your old work, it means you've improved since then ;)

E: Or, more specifically, that you are now capable of improving.
