Description
After staring at the "desk" and chair I rigged up for <-this, I felt like taking an actual swing at making a desk for Matteo I initially was just going to do dark red and the brown, then I realized my old bionicle playsets didn't give me the right amount of the right kind of bricks in dark red, so I had to improvise. What I came up with was an "Demon and angel" theme. It seems like the kind of thing Matteo would have given he sort of walks that line between good and bad. I also included a drawer that actually slides in and out on the demon side. I was going to add a larger drawer underneath it, as well as ones on the Angel side but it wouldn't have really worked since I didn't have the right parts to make the walls of the drawers. So Matteo's desk gets one drawer and a cubby hole on the angle side. He's a Utilitarian anyways, he doesn't need much.
Background image belongs to I do not own or claim to own any part of it. I simply used it because it fit the theme I used.

the reason i gave it a 4 was because it was unexpected and the draw, come on its a draw.

Thanks for the Critique. I'm glad you like it. The big Mahogany desk was what I was going for. But The technique isn't all that good. I settled for what worked for the "good" side. So I think the technique rating is too high. I'd given myself a 3 at the highest.

Super desk you made for Matteo and I like the angel/demon theme you made.

Thank you, I'm glad you like it. I should really come back to this idea and redo it some day when I can get some really good parts for it.

That would be awesome ! Also, I must say that I think it would have been better if you used the clear Takanuva mask on the angel side, but YOU DID SUCH A GOOD DECISION ON USING THE PIROX MASK ON THE DEMON SIDE !!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh that's a really good idea. I'll definitely have to try that next time. I went with the Nokama mask cause its blue and I think it fit better for the theme. But I'll definitely have to play around with the crystal takanuva mask. I do have one to.
Funny thing is I started out wanting to do a full "demon desk" but quickly ran out parts, so I switched it up to this Angel and Demon theme. It ended up making the desk not very good in my opinion, at least not nearly as good as I had wanted it. But now even if I could do it with all the parts I needed, i think I like the whole Angle and Demon feel more. That's really Matteo's personality because he's been both good and bad at some point in him immortal life. I've always portrayed him as more of a good guy in the serious tone(but as a total jerk in Bionicle MOCkery), so I really need to work on showing him as a bad guy I think. I guess I should stop myself I can blabber on about matteo endlessly.

You definitely should.
Yeah, its always good to put parts of personality in objects that belong to a MOC.

i liked this since i saw it on facebook, just one question, you may have sort of answered it in the description anyway, but if you had two pyrox heads and the appropriate pieces, would you make the desk symmetrical?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you. Yes absolutely! I like the "evil" side. I did the other side due to a lack of the parts I used to make the evil side. HAHA. Its pretty lame I think. I did it that way cause it was the only way I could think to salvage the concept. I originally envisioned Matteo's desk as being a big carved wooden desk with lots of ornate decorations, but I wasn't able to pull that off the way I envisioned. I'm actually just gonna tear this apart and come back to it when I can order parts for it.

They're supposed to be like statues carved into the desk. It was all I really had to make that work.

I had an old MOC I designed. I just compared it to Matteo. I am unsure how this happened, but we both ended up with guys with tophats. This MOC, who I really haven't named yet, is supposed to be an early genetic experiment from the Celestian Empire. He is colored awkwardly and has mixmatched body parts so the people researching his reactions could tell exactly what species that each part came from, like Frankenstein. He has a Celestian head (4 eyes, but redder than normal), a Celestian/Pyrix mixed blade (Celestian-designed hilt and Pyrix flames capable of shooting from it like a flamethrower), a Pyrix shield (Skrall shield embedded on his left arm), and a Pyrix body design with several blades sticking out of him (Reddish-gray-black). He also has the ability to bend his left arm back behind what would normally be possible, and several joints seem flexible. For example, he can easily twist his neck over so the top of his head faces the ground. His right arm has no hand, because he is a recent escapee. The scientific facility he was created in always imprints a tracking device in their right hands, which he has cut off. However, this arm has a large flame-shooting blade embedded within it. He has a Celestian left leg and a Pyrix right upper leg, with Culner-type feet on both legs. His tail is made of the DNA of a yet-unknown Rahi, as all those who see him have never seen what it came from (A Tahtorak from the early Bionicle stories), and his shoulders are made of Culner pieces (Trans-green Glatorian heads). His most recognizable feature, however, is his Tophat. It has a black rim that appears to be made of a large gear-piece, and the rest of it is 6 green smaller gears. When destroyed, he can produce a new one out of nowhere, which cannot be explained by any researcher, no matter how trained he is in the study of pocket dimensions, matter creation, or otherwise. However, this produces an intense hatred of whoever destroyed the hat, and it is theorized that it takes a large amount of mental energy to produce a new hat out of nowhere. It will take a large amount of bribing to keep any relationship with him, whether friend or ally, intact if you destroyed it.

Ummm not to be rude, but okay? Cool? Don't really know what to say to all that. It sounds like you've put a lot of thought into your character, which is good. Matteo is the only character of mine I've given a fair amount of back story and characteristics.

And here it is again, my constant need to elaborate on things.

Yeah...Don't get me wrong, I don't mind talking to you, but TEXT WALLS!

I've been trying to get a mod started: Replacing the Wall of Flesh boss in Terraria with a Wall of Text. It shoots out little word streams at you!

Let me try this.
He's a chimera-like being that likes to wear a tophat.
That wasn't so bad.

Thanks Grayson. I wanted to use it as not a mask, at least initially, so this worked.

I would love a table like that, well done David!

Well I was actually needing to talk to you about that. Before I pick up all the system parts and put em back into their proper buckets, I wanna make Wretched Stare a proper desk to. Got any suggestions?

[link] I like hight tech stuff as you know and screens lots of frigging screens lol so my desk has 3 or more at all times other than that its a desk I would love to have it look more tech like a half desk ,half control panel.

I didn't want your desk I wanted a desk. I want suggestions, what kind of desk you'd like to have. I'm gonna use black, so I'm not all that limited(I think), so swing for the fences.

I would say my dream desk would be like the batcave meets harry potter lol

LINKS MAN GIVE ME LINKS! And it does have to be a computer desk, not the goddamn bat cave console.

What the hell even is that first one? The second one looks very cool way to multipurpose and save space, very efficient, the third one is meh, average, but was kinda what I was gonna go for WS if you didn't give me any suggestion. I just figured his desk should be accommodating for one desk top with a big monitor and at least two laptops.

Sounds great can you make it life size and I will use it.

Bahaha. I wish. Maybe if I used all my lego that could work. Hope you like technicolor blobs for desks.

That would be the best desk ever and so much better than the one I made out of popsicle sticks.

I'd have to glue it together. :/

the dark side looks more sturdy then the light light. just how he likes it.
be funny if the angle side falls apart and the demon part slids over, crushing the rest of the angle side.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah I did kinda crap out on the angel side, but that's cause I didn't have that many of those rounded pieces to work with. I would eventually just like to make him a "devil Desk"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
devil desk. yes. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I would if I had the right parts.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you don't have to make it look the same on both sides.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, but I'd like it to be dark red and I don't have long 1X4 or 1X6 or longer bricks that would make the other side stable. I just have a bunch of these tall bricks from the 2005 playsets. :/
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
do what lego does.... put random colored bricks inside to make it sturdy. why can't they use all the same color on the inside. >_< XD
have you ever taken apart a lego car and theres all this red around the axles when its a grey car?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There's not really enough actual build for that. Its just a small desk for bionicle figure. That'd work on a larger structure.
Lego does that on technic sets to.

i think lego sets are made from old sets one of the designer had. lol. he does the best to make something look professional. the people incharge love it. no no. leave those colors inside. it dont matter.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What? That made no sense.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i'll try to explain this again. (my fault)
i was saying that what if new lego sets were made from old mix matched lego sets.
the orginal designer just fills in the color parts he has at the time.
the people above him think the set looks great as is. it gets turned into a new set.
that's the my story behind the strange colored bricks inside lego models. lol
