Am I this certain university-goer by any chance? :P If so, I'm not snickering. If anything I understand and sympathize with you. School can cause infinite stress over completely unimportant topics.

I thought of Shasa when I saw those pages, but I confused the character with Sanso, a Le-Matoran. That's a very interesting premise for an alternate timeline, and I like to suggestion of Metru Nui being under Order of Mata Nui protection. It seems Matoro's never going to land himself in a storyline where he won't eventually die. It's also interesting to see an alternate reality in which Vorred doesn't sleep through every battle... XD

Some wonderful creations there. I particularly like the painted Kanohi. They look very similar to the dark flat gold seen in pre-2006. Zaria seems... questionable. XD I don't know what to make of that guy. He seemed like a reasonably interesting and lone-wolf figure in The Powers That Be yet here he's being depicted as... something of a psycho. XD Interesting choice. I do, however, agree that the silver color scheme is far more befitting and I applaud you for finding a way to fit purple into a non-gravity related any creation. :D It' something that isn't seen very often and it's wonderful to see. The use of a Kaukau is wonderful as well. It's an unconventional mask that isn't seen very often outside Toa of Water and it makes sense for a badass character to have a seemingly-useless Kanohi. I'm not sure about the feet though. While they do look like the Turaga feet from the movie, I'm not sure that they work as well on a Matoran. :S Perhaps silver Bohrok feet or Toa Metru feet instead?

Anyway, I hope that November is a better month for you than October. :P It sounds like you've had it pretty rough and I wish you good fortune against your oncoming trials in school. It is hard, and there's no humor in that. :P Best of luck!
