Its true, I now have a wopping 0 :points: now.  I cleaned out the 451 points on a commission from :iconlalafoxtrot: And of course its for the most boss artwork of Matteo that will have been done yet. I suppose she'll send me the pictures as they come. And once its all done, I'll post everything. I'm not much for WIPs I like throwing out the final product and getting the most surprise from people. I have no timeline on this, but I did pay her so its for sure gonna happen. :eager: So I and anyone else who gives a damn will have to be patient.

In other news, Stockton's weather is finally representing the time of year that it is and I couldn't love it anymore. :D I even had to put on pants(because I totally derp around the house with no pants on :XD:). Cool, dark earlier, dark longer, works for me. :iconautumnplz:

As for MOCing Its at a purposeful standstill. I got a new one of those plastic container drawer things that a lot of us use for sorting and storing our parts. This ones a bit bigger per each drawer so now my main pile of parts is getting sorted. Its driving me absolutely nuts. Its been hard to really appreciate exactly what I have when its just this massive pile of mostly unsorted parts. Its maddening because here i am with all of these parts and yet I lack some of the parts that I use to put the bigger stuff together. Also, I have all these parts yet everything I want to build right now requires parts in different colors and parts I don't have. I think I'll put my "to do" list in writing and if any of you unoriginal hacks steal my ideas I can at least come back and say "I wrote it down first." :nana: :lol:


So here goes.
:bulletyellow: Claptrap. I know this has been done before even by our own :iconmate397: But with the recent surge of art and tidbits from Borderlands 2 coming out. I see him and I wanna make him. it'd actually be quite easy. I even want to get a light brick and have his eye light up. But the thing is, I know almost nothing about Claptrap or those kinds of robots other than its from borderlands. So if someone could let me know what's up with that dude, I'd appreciate it. I really wanna build him cause he's cool looking, period.

:bulletred: Matteo's 1920's/steampunk style motorcycle. I could almost probably get away with this with what I have but having more brown and the dirtbike tires in dark red would really help this build, not to mention shocks and gold greebles. The way i understand it, the dirtbike wheels and tires are just a bit bigger than the streetbike ones we got from the furno bike or now from speeda Demon, and those are A) the wrong style, and B) just a bit too small for the kind of bike I wanna make to scale with Matteo. Luckily for me, lego produced the dirtbike rims in metru red(dark red if you aren't a bioMOCer) for a starwars designer set so ordering those rims and the tires will give me dirtbike wheels in that color. Nice. :D

:bulletpink:Nyan Hell Cat. I'm sure most of you remember Bionicle MOC: Nyan Cat by Plague-Doc-Matteo Nyan cat, if not, you do now. I wanna make a not lame version of this and do something more like this. Again, not a terribly difficult concept, lego even makes pink parts so I could easily find the right colors. And I'd have to reget tan parts cause the old one was gifted away. I also want to make it considerably bigger.

:bulletgreen: An Ent From Lord Of The Rings. Again, not an unseen concept in MOCing, but I want my own spin on it. This MOC would require a bit more brown in technic or bionicle than I have now, and after years of being sloshed around in my buckets, any system part "foliage" I had has been decimated, so an order of leaves and vines and other odds and ends that I could use to make him look tree like would be needed. He wouldn't be an established character, like treebeard, he'd just be an Ent.

:bulletblack: The Suffering 2.0 A while back for :iconbarrelex:'s first scrap world contest(which I won :D) I built Bionicle MOC: The suffering 1 by Plague-Doc-Matteo this guy. While he wasn't bad, he didn't hit the mark i was aiming for, which was grotesque and provocative. After thinking a few things over I think I wanna go back, and reattempt this concept, but with a more organized color scheme and really do some shit that I honestly hope will stir up some feels. He was also supposed to be obese but I didn't really get that concept to work out. Not to mention his left hand was too bloody big and he couldn't do anything with it. I think this might actually be something feasible with what I have right now. it might be my next project, I don't know yet.

:bulletpurple: Fenrakk Spider Revamp. This I think is my second to largest most parts intensive concept. It'd be big, actually having 8 legs and using the large Toa Lhikan mask for an abdomen, much like Bionicle MOC: Arachne Detail by Plague-Doc-Matteo but without the clutter. Is this concept even possible structurally? I don't even know. I just know I want an 8 legged Fenrakk spider that doesn't suck.

:bulletorange: I'd really like to get into Powerfunctions. They're expensive as hell to really get enough of to do anything with, but once you got em they open up a lot of possibilities. :iconshorjok: is working on his powerfunctions vehicle and all this talk I've had with him about it is driving me up the walls. Power Functions leads to a few other concepts I'd like to try out. One of them being a vehicle(which almost seems mandatory), and a remote controlled version of An Ussal crab It would function like a tracked vehicle but instead of wheels or caterpillar tracks, crab legs. :moew: If made large enough, this could work quite nicely.  
Power Functions plays right into my strengths as a MOCer. I've shown that I like to incorporate functions into my MOCs, I'm almost afraid to think of what I'd build if I had motors, lights, and the other necessary bits needed to power and control them. Lego needs to make a mini  single battery battery box for the PF. What if we just want a little bit of PF in our MOCs? Motorized Innenrrad cannon arms would be nice. :D

:bulletwhite: Then the mother of all MOCs from me would be Matteo's Dirigible...it'd be huge, mind boggling huge. Like so huge  that even if I hung it from the ceiling in my room it'd still take up a good bit of space. The "boat" itself would be about two feet wide by three feet long(rough estimate) with the "balloon" being about 3 feet in diameter at its widest point and about 41/2 feet in length(again rough estimates). The balloon would be mostly hollow so while it'd still be heavy, not ungodly heavy. Power Functions would incorporate nicely into this build. I kinda like the sound of working propellers and moving flaps. :D But this is like an all out real investment MOC for me. I'd have to pour a lot of money, time and effort into this one. So its at the very top of my list in terms of resources needed and difficulty, making it at the very bottom of the list in terms of when I'll get to it...if ever. Its kinda like what :iconretinence: does, only way more ambitious than anything I've seen him do. I almost dare say this is one of those  :iconholyshitplz::iconwtfbbqplz: kind of MOCs we see from teams at brickcons. In my head...its crazy ridiculous.
Unfortunately, most of what's in that list is wishful thinking and a long ways off. Back in reality I must be content with what I have and the little bit I can obtain. I'm not exactly short on parts, I've just got to be creative with what I've got, which is what I've been doing for a while now. :)

This has been a recount of what's brewing inside my head. Hope you enjoyed, even though it was rather long.
