Description 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. Β 

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. Β  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.

Oh ppfffffffff I have no idea. Not for a long time? Cause that'd be a huge black hole of money and I don't know how to do that kinda stuff. I suppose if ~OddVibe and I ever figure out how not to be 2,000 miles away that's something we could do together. As you've seen she's pretty good at sewing and textiles. I'm sure together we could make a bitchin Matteo cosplay. Cept I'd have his mask commissioned by a professional mask maker.

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to Wretched--Stare [2013-12-28 06:46:39 +0000 UTC]

Indeed. I've determined it'd be made of dark red leather with ivory(nothing fancy or endangered) for the teeth and stained and lacquered wood for the horn, also meaning it'd be expensive as fuck. I'm thinking 2-3 hundred just for the mask.

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to Wretched--Stare [2013-12-31 05:09:11 +0000 UTC]

Yeah exactly. That's what really influenced my decision that it'd be a thick leather mask.

Probably. I know it'd be expensive. The mask, and hat needs to be custom, and probably the goggles to, but everything else could be clothing found. None of the rest of his attire is overly special. The right kind of long coat, vest and what ever else would work.

When ~chorranthu did the sculpture that blew me away. I was very surprised. Doing a drawing is one thing, but a whole sculpture? Damn! Sharlene is special, she's my girlfriend and she did something super special for me. But just as well, I wanna make her character Β  Β Baron Samedi as a MOC. And I imagine it was hard sending little Teo off, I suppose i'll have to experience that pang at some point. I've wanted to MOC the Baron even before our relationship formed though. I liked him right away and thought he'd make a cool MOC. Still though, it amazes me people have taken to Matteo so much.

Oh you know same shit different day. I get older, and nothing ever changes. That's not true I suppose. Things are SLOOOOOOWLY progressing forward I suppose.

Hehe you weren't the only person to say that. One of my MOCer friends wants a lil' Matteo plushie to. But I know what I want. I want a hit novel series turned movie franchise to spark a bunch of merchandise so that you guys could have a Matteo plushie.

yesh, not to mention I'd be rich or at least financially stable. Ironically, the thing that started as lego probably wouldn't have its own tie in theme because it'd be too explicit for Lego's policies of accepting IPs.

No it does not.

Well lego is very picky about the IPs they allow to be associated with their brand. They just started The Simpsons line and that was quite surprising considering the mature themes present in The Simpsons. Its pretty tame compared to today's standards, but its still got sex, violence, drinking, smoking, child abuse, and I don't know if it ever shows drug use, but I know the talk about it. Pretty riske stuff for lego who's always wanted to maintain this image of being kid friendly and all that jazz.

YAY DEAD THINGS!!!

I just read an interview and someone asked about Moe's Tavern and It was "we don't associate alcohol with our products, especially since they're targeted at kids" which just confirms what I suspected about the Simpsons line. They'll include it, but they're gonna play it down and dance around the more "adult" content in the show. But even that seems to be fairly unusual for lego. Usually they'd just not associate with anything that prevalent in the theme. I mean yeah, things like Marvel and DC have drinking and more adult themes(especially in the comics), but its not so much a core tenant of the franchise. Iron man fights alcoholism, but there isn't a running theme of him going to the bar every episode or so on.

Well...then what is it? I can't exactly crack the top of your skull open and look inside. But wouldn't that be cool if we could? I'd love to open people up and see what little monsters are running around there. I know we've all got little monsters in our soul. Some are harmless some should never see the light of day. I suspect yours are the harmless kind. Mine are fairly benign. I'd consider them the kind of "what a person's capable of" kind of thing. The messed up shit a person would or could do if driven to it in extreme circumstances. Other than that...totally innocuous.

Yeeeah that might prove difficult. Monsters in people's heads are kinda like pringles, once you pop you can't stop.

Very true. We express those things in us through art, and enjoying art, and in that way it lets them out in a harmless way. When we keep those things inside and don't express them, they come out in different ways, and that's the really ugly ways we end up hearing about on the news.

Well, top of the list is an amalgam of Dystopian fantasy(including but not limited to: games, stories, my own works towards creating series,etc.) , just below that is an amassing of video game,mythology and theology(Because yanno, honestly, some of those angels with their freakin' flaming swords? Hard not to be fascinated~. And don't even get me started on extra-Biblical writings; they are so crazy awesome~) fangirlism, a 101 ways to spoil people and make them happy, of course musical and literary fascination is next, and at the bottom is the introspective weirdness that makes Ori sit there and contemplate and pray about and generally get stuck on fings~. And yeah, that's the best I can describe the forefront of what goes in in Ori's head~. Mostly shallow and uninteresting,the outer rim is~! xD

Hmmm, I donno about the pringle fings, not a big chip fan, but the metaphor is not loss, all the same~!xD

Yeah~. It really helps a lot; especially when you're kinda....emotionally intense~.
That or loading up a good round of DmC and just hacking out frustrations and unhappiness on demons~. That helps a lot~! And they deserve it, so win-win~!
