Update(2/2/13)Wretched has a new setup
Wretched Stare is a guest MOC for my friend Greg AKA :icondark-aberration: He was formerly known as Wretched Stare which I thought was a cooler name, but not as cool as Knight-Terror which was his old name. However, I felt Wretched Stare fits for the name of a MOC best out of all three.

About The MOC
I made this MOC in dedication to Greg because he's such a cool guy. He's made numerous art pieces as well as all the icons I use. So I felt he was deserving of a guest/self MOC that wasn't lame like my first attempt 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.
I would love to see what you come up with. :) " Well Greg, this is what I came up with. If you were a bionicle you'd be a multi-computer-using badass Skakdi(though not with reidak's face).


Bio
Wretched is a Skakti Mercenary for the Brotherhood of Makuta. He tries to move up in the ranks but for as much as he tries to pass himself off as a super tough guy, he's really kinda a goof. He's better suited at working magic on his laptops instead of fighting, so other Brotherhood members, Makuta or even Toa don't really take him seriously.
WS is equipped with an energy blade sword, gauntlet blaster shield which can double as knuckle dusters Energy stick(which he noms) and two canisters of a delicious beverage of his choice. He's also got some nifty office furnature. :D

Creating the MOC
This thing was kinda a pain in the ass. There was a lot of back and forth with it, meaning that I'd build it up, then tear it down and redo parts. I actually had finished legs on him and then said "nah this doesn't work" and changed them and the hip to allow for better movement. As I was building him I was thinking of this being my truly official Self MOC, but I knew I needed to make something for Greg. I was thinking I could call him "Wretched Eye" and he be both our self MOCs, but that idea just seemed lame the more I thought about it. So screw it, this is Wretched Stare, and Matteo is my official self MOC. WS is one of the "items" on my list of MOCs I'd like to make. This accomplishes the "build a MOC in my favorite color scheme" objective. :iconsuccessplz: Greg has made several art renders in this scheme, like Dotz which I used for the background, as well as his own ID's so he must like it to. :D

Once I knew this was going to be Greg's MOC for sure I knew it needed something he couldn't go without, at least two laptop computers. Seriously, the guy is a tech junkie and has a bunch of cool machines. I shoulda also made a small little smart phone or something, wouldn't have been that hard to do I guess. Oh well. After I made the laptops I realized while taking pictures that he'd need somewhere to sit and use at least one of them, then that's when the idea hit me. BIONICLE OFFICE FURNITURE! :la: I particularly like the chair. I think this is something I'm gonna have to explore further. :iconponderplz:

I'm not entirely sure if I'm gonna keep this MOC together. I really like it and am happy with it, but it sucked up a lot of parts from Mechus and I don't know if I wanna free em back up or leave him as a permaMOC and just use what ever's left. So I'll go ahead and turn critiques on on this one. :) I won't even say "hope you like it Greg" cause I know you will. I'm pretty damned happy with it. I'm a little jelly its not actually my self MOC. :lol:

So, first off this particular MOC is certainly eyecatching. 3rdeye has used a very bright colour scheme to convey a comedical character, which does the job- but one thing I must say is that it could be a little less irridescent- the ratio of purple to lime is too little. Now, I know that 3rdeye lacks purple parts and wnated to use them, so that is by no means his fault. However, I think what could be done is a little less lime green on the body, to help exaggerate the purple and make the MOC overall less blinding.
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 :)

Well here we are agian witha nother brilliant looking moc from 3rdeye88.

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 ;)

The furniture is a fun touch!
I know dat "feel" when you make something for a friend and it comes out better than expected, and you just want to be an ass and keep it.

:lol: yeah. That definitely happened here. But oh well. I'd rather my Self MOC be Matteo anyways. He wasn't meant to be but through the character development, became that. Do you have a Self OC type thing?

Ooooh I see. That sucks. I think I have mild allergies. But hell I think most people get bothered by allergens so its probably just normal. :P

Hmmmm Can he/she be trusted? Dogs have big mouths and bark a lot. Also, you have a dog? What kind of dog is it, and got pictures. :D

I'm a dumbass? Really alex, you couldn't come up with anything better than that? Dude this is pathetic. :lol: You know I was rather bored, but now I can sit here and laugh at your idiotic BS...again. Thanks for the laugh, and for boosting my stats even more.

Nice to know you still think of me. :blowkiss::iconfingerplz:
