I'm ForlornCreature. I'm not an adult so yes I live with my Mum (not in a nerdy way). I come from Brisbane in Australia. My quest is to find the holy grail (Monty Python). I'm a brickfilmer, I animate lego into short movies. I seek inspiration for my films.

Who are you?
An old fart with a Lego obsession (something rekindled in me relatively recently with the discovery of Brikwars). Friends call me Dave (enemies can call me whatever the hell they like... with their dying breath...).
Do you live with your mom? (Trust me, this is important)
No.
Where do you come from?
Auckland, New Zealand.
What is your quest?
To amass a vast collection of Lego, and one day own a house with extra rooms dedicated to its storage, display and deployment... (I’d also like an AV room decorated to look like the flight deck of a Starship, but that’s another story...). Also, to own my own landmate (Armoured exoskeleton for those unfamiliar with the works of Masamune Shirow) - it would be great for commuting (a guy can dream right?).

Who are you?
A large pointed mass of ice in a glacier isolated by intersecting crevasses.

Do you live with your mom? (Trust me, this is important)
2010-2011 is my last year of Highschool, so, yes.

Where do you come from?
Vancouver Island.

What is your quest?
Passing school should be easy, so my quest is to become a concept artist for video games, or possibly a writer or storyline editor for them. I might also like to get to work on Comic Books. Any way to tell the story I've been working on. And while I'm at it I might as well get a decent Lego collection.

What is your favorite colour?
White-blue
My only regret in life is never owning the Ski/Ice Throwbot/Slizer...

So you are an artist and you think there is a color named white-blue?
Hmm I think we are going to need to see an example of your work.

I'm guessing it's just a color of white that reflects cool rather than warm, I remember such things from before I switched over to exclusively digital media.

I just got to do portfolio reviews for some art students who came through the office, man I forgot how much I enjoyed that. "Trogdor strikes again!" I wonder if we could start up something like that here.

The only guess I have is that white-blue is a crazy half french way of saying light blue. Oh wait I'm half french :x

"Trogdor strikes again!" I wonder if we could start up something like that here.


You mean review art and set the peasants on fire
http://www.homestarrunner.com/disk4of12.html
Do you see <a href='http://tinyurl.com/y42zurt'>alot</a> of Trogdor in portfolios?

From what I've seen here so far it would default to

6. buy a sketch book, a pencil and white vinyl eraser
7. fill it up with line drawings and pencil shading
8. repeat
9. then come back later when your hat is on fire

When I was 16-17 I was goodish, back then there was nothing else better to do. Now there are lots of things to do and someone would need to be very dedicated to make progress with art.

Just another lame intro...

* - Who are you?
Just some guy.

* - Do you live with your mom? (Trust me, this is important)
Haven't lived with the FBI in 11 years; what a glorious decade it has been!

* - Where do you come from?
Minnesnowda

* - What is your quest?
To find a simple, fun, table top game I can play with my kids. I hope my quest is over so the fun can begin!

* - Can you spel gud and use gud i am a dumbass?
Not really and I don't care. I try to spell correctly and use proper grammar but my success rate is below average.

* - How much have you invested in Legos?
A freak'n stupid amount. You know those Lego stamp cards where you get a stamp for every $25 you spend and after 20 stamps you get an insulting $20 gift card? I've been insulted way too many times...

* - Wow are you rich or something?
Maybe if I hadn't bought so many dang Legos I would be. Sadly, no... far from rich.

* - So are you some weird dude who lives alone and plays with nakid minifigs all night?
Naw; my kids think the Lego's are theirs. They are the ones who play with them all the time. Joke will be on them when they try to take them when they move out! They can take the dog that is supposidly theirs; I'm keep'n MY Legos!

* - What is your worst Lego regret?
Giving away all of my Legos when I was 10 to my best friend when I moved away. I thought "meh, I'm too old and too cool for these now". My parents had also wasted stupid amounts of money on Legos. My favorite sets I miss: Black Seas Barracuda, Forbidden Island, Black Falcon's Fortress, Cargo Carrier (because it would really float in the tub! =) Wish I had them now for my kids to play with.
