Matteo Plushie by Oddvibe

AKA "Lewkie what mah girlyfriend made meh"

Made me this plushie as part a belated birthday and Christmas(we jokingly call it "Birthmas" since her birthday is two days before Christmas) present. Sharlene is no stranger to creating works of Matteo or my "fan art folder, now at least you know why. *3rdeye88~OddVibe

I absolutely love LOVE LOVE this plushie. I was so surprised when I opened and unwrapped the care package she sent me. I really like the way she designed him to. There's a lot of practicality in this plushie, like the beans in his butt() to give him weight the wires in his arms and legs so they can be bent and even how she made a little slit in the messenger bag so it can be closed. He's really designed to be sitting and sit well he does. I think Sharlene really captured the practical nature that I've instilled in the MOC in this plush. Its quite a fitting representation of our favorite little Italian curmudgeon.  

The other aspect I really like about this plushie is how he's made like she draws him. We first see her interpretation of Matteo in some quick little DA Muro doodles, then a more serious take here,. Finally she did a full body drawing of him with a bit more detail and interesting bits. The drawing comes off as a bit more "tattered" than the plushie, but there's definitely elements of that there, like in his sleeves and gloves. I think its absolutely awesome that her drawing of my MOC now exists in the physical form of a Plush doll. That's like two levels of awesomeness, a plushie version of a drawn version of a Bionicle MOC. How cool is that?

I was overwhelmed with gratitude and adoration to Sharlene over this. Like I told her "This is the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me here, and that's saying something because a lot of people have done very nice things for me before." Like Chorranthu who made my sculpture and a variety of other people here on Deviantart. Word and emotes really couldn't express how thankful I am for this. Sharlene really poured a lot of time, effort, and love into this Plushie. She even actually bled for it from learning to do needle Felting. "Teo" as we call him is our little baby.   She was super nervous sending me the care package she made me, now I can see why. In a futile attempt at expressing how grateful I am for this. OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS BABY I LUFF IT SOOOOOO VERY VERY MUUUUUUUUCH AND I LUFF U TOOOOO!!!

Alright I think I've gushed enough in this description. Sorry for those of you who read all that.
