For the TTV April Fools Prank proceeding the not-prank announcement of BioCraft: The Bohrok Update, I made character artwork for several RPG characters we came up with. I made them in Stud.io, then traced the renders. Thank you to @serpyra.bsky.social for her support in learning how to make art!

I just read something very disconcerting & I simply can not stress this enough: as a writer, do NOT--under ANY circumstances--use AI. Trust yourself, read, learn & edit. Hone your craft. Your work requires a SOUL to feel alive, so give it life born of you. You won't get that from AI.

I've understood that the BIONICLE Toa Hagah were released in 2005 to celebrate 50 Years of the LEGO "System-In-Play," but I can't find the source on that. I tried looking but I've come up empty handed. Does this sound familiar to anyone else?

This is gonna sound like an odd question, but does anyone know what the oldest NINJAGO video on YouTube is? I have some guesses, but I'm not entirely sure how to check. And I mean anything talking about or covering NINJAGO, not just official media.

My heart is heavy. This really hurts. I met my friend Drew at the 2002 launch event of "Galidor" in NY. He brought our series poster to breathtaking life. He treated me like a prince, gave wisdom, stories & I was fortunate enough to know him ever since. His talent was magic & I will miss him dearly.

Frak! I'm really happy with how I did his outfit, I couldn't decide whether to do his part 1 or 2 fit so I went with both. Personally I like how it sort of symbolizes him breaking out of the standard ninja gi into something that fits his personality more (tacticool).

I did the very first sketch for what became the #Ninjago Ras and Arin’s Super Storm Jet, it changed a lot. It was originally going to be more of a team vehicle with some command space inside and a mech that was dropped off the back. I lost the mech sadly, but it was a fun style exploration.

White jet with gold and red accents. It features a long nose and V-shaped engines.

I’ll talk a bit about my involvement with the #Ninjago Legends: Monstrosity sets. I worked on the Fire Knight mech. Initially, it was gonna be Jay’s. I started off exploring a Ninjago mech with more of a knight aesthetic. I did a bunch of these sketches before I started building.

Here’s a look at the very first sketch model, for what became the Nya Samurai X Mech for #Ninjago Crystalized. It was way too big and ended up being switched to Nya’s mech as the writers continued to work on the story. It explored the limits of the new hip/shoulder joint we made.

In the annals of history, our most beloved, most cherished characters sometimes find their way back to us, a way to live again after their final curtain call...I may not be either of those things, but I am impossibly overwhelmed with happiness to know the #Galidor curtain didn't close all the way.

Watching BioSector01 replace the character images from their comic appearances with CG renders, most of which are on either a transparent or white background, feels like watching a soul leave a body. Super disappointing, makes it feel like the Wikia.

So, my buddy Kevin (Feige, of course) reached out and was like: "Matthew, my friend, it's time to bring the Prince back." And my response was simple, I said: "Kevin, buddy, I've always been right here. I mean, what's the worst that could happen, I bankrupt Marvel?" And then we laughed and laughed...

"Don't call it a comeback, I been here for years!" Matthew Ewald thinks he's funny and oh so clever, so he placed his fictional, superhero name from his science fiction / adventure television series "Galidor" (from over 20+ years ago, mind you...) onto the back of a Marvel Directors chair in order to "jokingly" imply he is in the upcoming "Avengers: Doomsday" movie. Which, clearly, he isn't...because one: who is Matthew Ewald? And two: Who is Nick Bluetooth? But hey, the world IS super broken and messed up right now, so technically it tracks, doesn't it?

During our career (writing for Spider-Man, Star Wars, Ninjago etc...) we've gotten personal attacks and even death threats over scripts. That's not cool. But a YouTuber with well-thought-out criticism (and no personal attacks) is a healthy thing to have in fandom, even if you disagree with them.
