Description
made a wonderful sculpture of Matteo that my mother purchased from him as a keepsake. I had it shipped to me so that I could take photos of it in my light tent as well as with the original MOC.
I simply love this thing and am so honored Chorranthu went through all that trouble to sculpt a clay sculpture of my dear little Plague Doctor. This is single-handedly the coolest fan art anyone's done for me. 
Thank you so much for this Chorranthu, you've made myself and my mother very happy with this.

When I look at the sculpture I think two things
1. he wears a mask
2. he has a weird nose

Both are kinda true. But I like the way he did the beak.

Yeah, Matteo is a Plague Doctor.

dude,just wanted to know,what does a plague doctor does in his life?

Plague doctors were people who went around attempting to cure plague patience back when the black death swept through Europe in the 14th century. Wiki has a page entry about plague doctors. So in Matteo's case, he's a doctor by day, but works for an undground group of assassins much like the illuminati or the knights Templar. Or depending on which part of the story, he focuses on killing plague monsters with other plague doctors. He's immortal so he's lived a very long time. Later on in his story he fights against other plague doctors, like Cog.Β

You need a sculpture of a sculptor making a sculpture of a man holding a sculpture of a sculptor and his sculpture XD

No, I need a sculpture of a sculpture painting a picture of himself working on a computer making a digital art piece of a man writing a novel about the sculpture.

How about a sculpture of a sculpture using a camera to take a picture of his own painting that illustrates a landscape of sculptors sculpting sculptures of novelists each writing books on the study of sculptures and the sculptors who made those sculptures?

Sure, that'll do.

Very interesting and awesome!
I like how it has a cartoony vibe to it. *Almost feels like a Spy VS. Spy character. xD*

HAHA a lot of people(my mom and step dad included) said that about Matteo when I built the first proper version of him, some people on DA said so to. So its funny that you mention that.

I surprisingly did not know that. Plus I only thought of it upon seeing the sculpture.

Hmm yeah, somewhere on the older deviations, maybe the prototype, some comments were left saying that.

That's so cool! I like his little lantern and the base~Β
Lucky you~Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Right? The lantern itself is neat, I like the way it looks, its just that the handle is a bit too long, if he were to lower his arm, it'd drag on the floor. But I'm gonna leave it the way it is.
Thanks.

Wow, that is really freaking cool David!Β

Thanks Greg. Its awesome to have something like this made from my own MOC. Like is said, its quite an honor. Cause I didn't commission him, he asked me if he could make it, and of course, I said yes. I'm always ecstatic when someone wants to create their own art from mine. He really ads some character to my desk, now I know how your desk feels like a little.

You should take a shot of him on your desk.

I'd have to tidy it up, and I'm too lazy to do that. It looks the same sitting on my Desk, so why?
Not to mention my laptop is up on blocks, it looks like Mexicans came and stole its rims.

messy is the new Β neat! lol

Thanks? I didn't make it, I guess Chorranthu would send his thanks if he were to reply. What's so "Da-yamn" about it though?

It's good, that's what it means, right?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, it can mean that.

Wow, it's actually the best representation I have seen of Mattee too. Love the gloves idea the most! <3
π: 0 β©: 1
Yours caught all the detail to though. This one doesn't have his bag. That's the one thing he didn't do, or forgot about. He's g ot the lantern, cane, pocket watch, pendant, belt and knife. I'll have to ask why not the bag.

I finally decided to wade through all the comments on this deviation, so i guess ill answer that. It's because I used fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/i/201β¦ as my reference, and since the bag didn't stand out much, I kinda forgotΒ Β

Well, I never didn't realize that Mattee was supposed to be wearing gloves.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well yeah, he'd have to cover up his hands especially so he'd probably have thick leather gloves. The whole idea was to cover up every bit of skin as to not come in contact with the plague. Matteo is immortal so he was resilient to the plague, but it could still make him sick, so he covered up just the same as everyone else.Β
