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.

It seems fairly straightforward but upon closer inspection I notice the texture changes between each side of the desk. The angel side has a rounded theme, while the demon side is more angular

FINALLY! Someone gets it. That's exactly what I was doing, and exactly why the Angel side isn't as beefed up, I didn't have as much round stuff to work with.

Sorry, but I couldn't really imagine him using a desk for anything. I imagine him him outside in a battle or something else more challenging. Nice job.

Thanks Simeon. You mean the Angel and Demon theme? To be honest It was halfassed. This whole thing was kinda halfassed once I wasn't able to do it like I wanted to. Thanks though, I tried to salvage the idea as best I could.

Ahh, well in that case I'd say at least you tried to an extent. :/

I was trying to be nice in the original comment, even though I knew it could have been better if you used certain/more parts.

Oh, well thanks Simeon. But I'd appreciate your honesty more than your flattery. I know this is a hack job. I know there's a bajillion different kind of system elements that if I had access to I could have made the most bitchin desk for Matteo in the history of Bitchin tiny figure desks. Or at least tried. I'm actually kinda gaining confidence in terms of system building. Its not really my strong suit.

Okay then. I'll be sure to speak my mind more, regarding MOCs with things I think could be better.

I would say something regarding where I'm at with Technic system building mixed with Bionicle, but I'd just be annoying you more about a certain MOC that everyone knows about. And on top of that I won't say it without proving it when it eventually makes it to the interwebs/intertubes. [I hate waiting.] :I

Thanks Gale. Glad you and so many others like it. I did kinda just throw it together when the idea I had fell through.

And thus explains how about half of everything I've ever made came about XD It does work well though.
