Making With Mattimus
(An Experimental Design)
Hello everyone! Welcome to Making With Mattimus, the part of Tumblr that allows me to showcase all of my creations, to all of you! Today, I will be showcasing a character, that started from a weird place, but ended up becoming one of my favourite characters I have built, a character called VCI, based on the logo of the same name.
The image above is of the 1995 logo, which is what I designed the character around.
This will be divided into sections so that you can understand more of the history behind the characters I've made and to help get an idea of my building process.
Version 1 (2018)
Here is the first version of VCI that I built, and is not as good looking now that I'm looking back on it, especially in the arms. It's not terrible, but it's my least favourite of the three versions I've made so far.
Version 2 - (2019)
Here is the second version of the character and you can see things start to take shape here, due to limited pieces at the time, I had to get creative with how I made the character, specifically in the arms and upper torso, which was loose at times.
Version 3 (2023)
Here is VCI version 3, which is the latest version of the character, as well as my favourite of the three that I've built. It's got references to the previous two versions of VCI, so see if you can find them!
Size Comparison with a couple of my older mocs. The left one is Mattimus, and the right is a redesign of a friend's MOC named V.2, but I called it V.3
Lego allows me to expand my imagination and to continue unleashing my creativity! Something like this can show that a Lego MOC can be formed from practically anything, even old logos from the 1990s!
Until next time everyone, just keep going!
Mattimus
