ANOTHER PLAGUE DOCTOR, YAUS!!! I've wanted to do this for a while. I'd like to dedicate this MOC to my good friend for all the wonderful things she's done that includes Matteo. :heartL I'm sorry this isn't one of your characters, but this one goes out to you.
About the MOC I can't believe it, I managed to get him knocked out in a single morning. I got up at 7:00 and had him finished by about 3. The rest of the day was post production(photos, editing, deviation/on the spot bio writing). It started with me trying to figure out how to do another plague doctor mask, something I've been contemplating for the longest damned time, then I came across the Metus Mask(something I forgot I had because it was given to me by ~wolfbossx a while ago), then from there I just started sticking "beaks" on him and the tail tip had the right shape. So a second plague doctor was born. Another accomplishment I managed was to give him(er well his mask) a mustache. I know many have beat me to the punch, most notably *Rahiden with Endeavor/Toxic. The opportunity presented itself so I went for it. I think it gives him a lot of extra personality.
Sir Richard Alastair is a fictional character and based on no real person, if your name is Richard Alastair it is completely a coincidence and should not feel flattered because my MOC was not named after you. Bio While I don't have a bunch of details figured out(this will probably come with the help of Acy), but I do know that Sir Richard is English(if that wasn't painfully obvious already), that he's a master in fisticuffs, something sorta like this! He is an ally of Matteo's, but I'm not sure which era of Matteo's long life he would be in, I'm thinking sometime after Witching Hour. But that's up for debate.
First off, yes not your best moc but this is understandable because you've chosen to challenge your self by setting a time limit. The moc it self is not bad because the most effort went into the torso and head and the rest probably suffered due to (now bear with me it's gonna sound silly) creativity fatigue but the good thing is your always able to make improvements. We in general could nit pick the limbs all day but what I'd rather do is get to the positive notes, a good color scheme and a clever use of pieces to create waist articulation. One thing I'd like to say before I wrap this up is that you should consider extending the pelvis because it looks like he got too much junk in the trunk.
eh, this one is simple, and although it started with a good vision, i dont think speed mocing is your field of expertise.
originality: ive seen almost the exact same arms before, the hands are nothing new, and the legs are just bad; too simple and not really fitting
technique: the head and torso could have been better; the pelvis is wide, and simple, and the head doesnt really make me think "plague doctor" more like: damn, whats goin on with yo nose?
impact: like a train; one of your worst mocs you've made and looks like you need more practice with speed mocing.
to sum things up, at least fix the legs and pelvis, they kinda screw with the mocs "look"
