Meet PawPurby, the possum Furby! He’s based off of the iconic plot-armored possum pet/attorney at law, PawPaw Gump, from Not Another DnD Podcast.

The pepto pink of his hands/tail/nose are intended to be a nod at his fantasy leanings. He features fully possible tail, 4 freaky little hands, and a sculpted “beak.”

My furby commissions are currently open for a limited time only! DM me for details ;)

Meet Límon, the strawberry lemonade clown gremlin!

🍓🍋🤡✨

[schpiedehl]

Not only was Ariana Grande not involved, Alyssa was played by a queer Black actress (Ariana DeBose) so the continued discourse regarding this particular character is kinda wild.

okay here’s the thing: keeping this whole ‘gay characters should only be played by gay actors’ thing up is bad bc like.. what about closeted actors? why should they have to out themselves in order to get a role?

the problem with ariana grande in the prom isn’t that she’s not a lesbian. it’s that alyssa is lesbian of colour, and ariana’s white and has queerbaited and exploited the lgbt community at the same time as performing for a festival run by homophobes lmao

[schpiedehl]

@furbishartificer does it again, bringing to life the lovely CLOWNFLESH! a real cutie, with a sculpted bird beak and bird feets. comissionn my bestie, who LOVES clowns.

Meet ClownFlesh!

ClownFlesh is the little brother of Lobotomy (both were acquired via the same charity auction). He is approximately 4 feet long, and so very very fluffy. He has 8 talons for hugging and a sharp little birds beak - all hand sculpted using Aves Apoxie Sculpt. He took nearly a millennia to complete, but is fully functional and fully loveable. His voice is glitchy as fuck, though, and it definitely adds to the charm.

Hobbies include probably not eating people, collecting the bones of his enemies, scaring children, and cuddling.

[schpiedehl]

Meet Lobotomy! I know he’s been posted before on my main blog as well as by @boychic but here’s a little in more information about my goodest of boys.

Lobotomy started life as a d i r t y, nicotine-stained $6 graduation furby. When I say nicotine stained, I mean it. He came with his original box, and boy howdy the plastic in that thing was opaque yellow and he STUNK. So that skin had to go. He had to be push-start but he is mostly functional, if sleepy due to a busted tilt sensor. He had also never been a able to close his eyes.....

The concept for lobotomy came to me by way of my sisters artist boyfriend, who upon seeing myself and the aforementioned @boychic working on the 2012 long furby Ranger Danger, said that he wanted to see a grotesque fleshy furby. Thus, the idea for Lobotomy was born. I have always liked sculpting grotesque things, so I feel like Lobotomy was the natural progression of that.

The name Lobotomy was inspired by the clipping. song, Say the Name, specially the lyric “Lobotomies like pills, get ‘em for cheap.”

The sculpt on lobotomy took approximately 8 hours, spread over three days, and with an additional four or so hours of painting. He was made using Aves Apoxie Sculpt, and maintains all functionality that he had prior to being skin-ified. The material has a pretty steep learning curve (like the intermediate between polymer clay and porcelain, if either were conveniently airdry) but results in a extremely durable, relatively lightweight finished product. As such, he is unlikely to be murdered by a cat as polymer clay creations are wont to do.

While gory, Lobotomy is a sweet, sensitive boy. He loves long walks on the beach, a good book, and consensual cannibalism.
