So technically this would be Wretched Stare Proper and the first one would be a prototype I guess. Last time Greg had me go in the direction of a Hellghast, but this time didn't give me any creative direction, "I would rather if you did it be 100% from your creativeness.
which I used for the background, as well as his own ID's so he must like it to. |

With regards to the proportions (which have also sparked some debate) I disagree that this MOC is ill proportioned, however the feet could be slightly larger considering the bulky upper half.
Otherwise, the Reidak 'mask' works well for this MOC- athough the name 'Wretched Stare' suggests something cycloptic to me.
The furniture is a nice addition, certainly something I haven't seen before alongside a Bionicle. The laptops are a nice touch, although the bottles of liquid (I don't want to know what he's drinking xD) could have done with a bit more detail.
Overall, a good MOC with potential to be even better. Small attention to detail could make this MOC significantly more impressive.
Vision: 5 Stars because of the wacky idea of a Skakdi nerd. Nice.
Originality: 4 stars is a good score, I felt it didn't quite reach 5 stars somehow.
Technique: 4 stars again- MOCs tend to be hard to judge on technique due to the fact that we can't see inside and how the whole thing was built. However, the Atakus heads on the thighs are an example of good technique in this build.
Impact: Well, the bright colours say it all. It may have impacted some in a negative way, but I think it deserves 5 stars. Bear in mind, then, what I said about reducing the lime to exaggerate the purple- I think people were initially struck by it because of the fact that the purple clashes with the lime green right underneath - if you separate the colours slightly, then the whole thing will benefit greatly. I hope I've been constructive
The first thing to note on this moc is the obviouse colour which is very striking at afirst but on further inspection is revealed to be well executed and brilliantly pulled off. Having such bright and 'daring' colours together can sometimes have disastrous and other-wise ghastly consequences but here this is not a problem. The black base and outer armour works seemlessly with the more abundant green and just tipped of with a few purple highlights. A great choice of colours executed in a stunning fashion.
The build is quite good here too. Non conventional limbs are constructed to great effect and shows creative usage of pieces available. The Skrall masks work great as thigh and uper leg armouring but I miust protest on the use of Nuva chest plates as upper back-leg armour. The colour does work well but as the wider chest area points to the top of the thigh on the Nuva piece, it exagerates the upper legs a bit too much in my opinion as spaces them farther from the body.
The overal chunky and heavily built statature works brilliantly for this moc and this creation being a Skakdi only reinforces the cause of a large and more 'brutish' looking build.
The bio for this guy is comical and really adds character to him. Having such a powerful and notary, war-like race of the Skakdi having a 'nerd' unit really contrasts to great effect.
The furniture and various small accesories really add to the character and are cleverly constructed themselves.
Overal another fab moc from 3rdeye88 and a triumph for colour schemes. Congratulations on another ace piece
