Here's something interesting. Sorry for the terrible image quality. I found this artwork rolled up and flattened, and I couldn't get rid of all of the creases.
If you've read the story Tales of Desires by me and LordTigress , then you've definitely heard of the Maximus Tentaculous, a dangerous creature with a big mouth and tentacles in our story, and I'd say this is the first concept art of it.
The funny thing is that the concept art below of the Maximus Tentaculous is actually older than the story Tales of Desires. Tigress and I wrote Tales of Desires two years ago, and I came up with the idea of the Maximus Tentaculous three years ago when I was thinking of my own stories and villains, and at the time I hadn't even named it the Maximus Tentaculous. In a way I decided to donate my idea of the Maximus Tentaculous to our story since it sounded like a unique monster to use.
Yes, also, the LEGO Ideas staff can be quite picky when it comes to small builds with minifigs.
Interesting. How so? Just that it can't be a set purely focusing on the minifigures?
Well, they are cautious about anything which might resemble a battle pack (which isn't allowed) However they can be quite picky, and sometimes reject a model which is just a bit too small, and contains minifigs.
Uhhh yeeess... Yeah it all gets weirder as you get older. Oh yeah that's basically what I'm doing, dual enrollment. (PSEO--idk I know some states have this and others don't) Free credits are very nice. xD I have had a very weird schooling throughout my life, come to think of it...
Ah yeah, I see. All I know is it's usually factored by state rules and how big the school is. Our town is fairly small, so our track team has no JV. So the jr high kids are apart of the high school team, but only they can go to the Junior High meets (sometimes we sneak 9th graders in O_O) Wrestling actually teams up with our rival school. And so does gymnastics (which has like 6 people lol) Our basketball teams are the only teams that manage to get a big enough team and maybe softball/baseball. I know the next town over has 5th graders playing what is technically 7th and 8th grade basketball, and that's because they have 14 kids in each grade.
That's really cool! I wish our county would do that, but it's so big (as in lots of land and cows, not a lot of people) and also I know our co-op is composed of people from 3 different rural counties. Also we do have some conservative people who uh, say no to sports. O-o So in the end it probably would not work out. We do have a lot of homeschoolers in the public school CC and track teams though, which is nice (being the only homeschooler is a weird feeling)
Ouch! I hope it gets better soon! How bad is it? I have uh, not gone running in a while... O-o
You could very well be totally insane. That is true; everything gets weirder as you age and so far it never stops. Ah, I see. We don't have PSEO in our state (only a few do) but dual enrollment should be basically the same. I'm not going to graduate with an associates (that's more what you do with what we call Early College, which is still being in high school but taking all college classes, whereas with dual enrollment you can pick and choose as many or as few as you want). Free credits are nice, and I have had a very strange schooling as well. Because almost all my friends are homeschooled (or were) it seems a bit more normal, but still weird.
Can you tell me again which grades are in junior high vs. senior high? Even my dad can't tell me and he was in that stuff. But how JV vs. varsity works here is that if there's ever a JV match or meet, the whole team except juniors and seniors can do it (because sometimes we have middle schoolers in high school). However, in normal (technically varsity, but we don't think of it that way) matches everyone participates.
I do live in a rural area, but our county does have a big city in it . . . I assume the problem in your county (counties) would simply be the transportation and whatnot because everyone is so spread out. However, if you have that many homeschoolers in the public school CC team one of the parents could literally just organize a team. (It would take a bit of time and commitment, though.)
Well, I broke the same foot in the same place five or six years ago. I had started running a lot every day, and I got a stress fracture in my foot (I think it started when I twisted my ankle running, but it kept getting worse). I haven't run for a bit more than three weeks, now, and it doesn't hurt that much walking anymore, but it still isn't pleasant.
No, I promise, I'm not! Ah yeah, we have Early College too. The difference between that and PSEO is that you don't have to pay for textbooks in PSEO and a few other things. I'm not trying to get my associate's degree either, which I know most people with PSEO try to do. It's just hard to do all those credits online (the college is 2 hours away so I can't go there lol ). So I just do what works with my HS requirements and college generals. PSEO is under Dual Enrollment so I think what you're doing is basically the same thing as what I'm doing. I have been to home, (Russian) private, charter, and public (including Russian here) schools xD
It depends on your district usually, but jr high here is 7th and 8th grades. Some will say 5th and 6th are too, but here it's middle school. Some say middle school and jr high are the same. It's confusing bc it's never the same at schools xD Oh I see. Our conference/ subsection both don't have JV meets because we all have generally smaller teams. Which means the bigger teams might have a lot of people pushed out of events unless they're willing to run the stuff everything hates.
Yep, transportation is a big part of it. My co-op friend plays volleyball for a rival school and my other friend ran track and CC in her city (which is a city we don't play sports against). We're all just super spread out and a lot of us don't play the same sports. But yeah making a CC team would be a cool idea. Sadly a lot of people are graduating. :/
Ooof not a stress fracture! I have gotten one on my toe before which was awful, so I can't imagine a foot. Hope it gets better soon!

Ah, that makes sense. I would guess that ideas for battle packs are mainly more like packs containing rare things that LEGO can't exactly make. I suppose there needs to be a pretty substantial build if it's going to contain minifigures.

Eeey Jerryyyy! xD Wow this is awesome Zach!
Yep! Jerry is older than its own story. Thanks Aurora!

Yes, It's not a big problem, but it can be a bit troublesome.

I see. I now wonder if the LEGO Research Institute was on the edge of becoming similar to a minifigure battle pack.
Hmm TheFlash213 said something about old art and got me thinking! SO I CHALLENGE YOU ALL: Post one piece of old art. (At least... 2 years old let's say.) Either you all are gonna ignore this post, or you'll rise to the task. We'll see.
Oh gosh. Am I really going to do this?
... Let's be honest, I'm going to do this.
Above: Around 4 years ago Below: Around 6 months ago
Wow you've really improved in that time. Very nice!
LordTigressGnuehchcaz I finished it!! Tales of Desires fan art, voila! I hope you like it... I couldn't go look back to your guys' descriptions because I did not have wifi at the time, sorry for any inaccuracies.
*flops out of a portal, me having a full beard and a graduation cap on* GAH, WHERE HAVE I BEEN, WHAT TIME IS IT?! WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SITE’S NAME, WHERE AM I AGAIN?! >w<
