Now with video!
This is Philas who is a character created by @wolfertinger666 who allowed me to make my own version of him. I loved what he wrote about his character so i will quote it directly: "Philas represents the boys who aren't allowed to, or don't want to change their bodies, but live and fight like hell to be a man."
So i named this figure "boys will be boys"!
I tried to directly copy the original style for him at first but i really didn't do it justice and because this figure is for my own shelf i decided to chill a little with this.
Since i already took so many liberties with the design i decided to have some fun with the paint too and shade him really roughly and with a very limited palette, i think it really fits the "emotion" of this piece.
Made a test teeth beast with the first clay I could grab from my drawer so they’re green :) glad I could still do this. Almost forgot to add their tongue whoopsie
Hold all your thumbs for me that these survive! I'm starting a bisque fire today 🙏🐸
A long while back I was sculpting a mushroom branch, and that thing broke apart in my hands in the greenware stage. But I saved the mushrooms and teamed them up with these toads instead. Lets seeee how they turn out.

Clay is the one you change the most because he completely change is live. John just have a neckless with the color of Branch and Floyd, and Clay give him his bracelet.
John also give is old goggles to Clay, even if they are too small of him, Clay just wear them around his neck because he knew they are special for his big brother 💖✨️
They don't wear anything they reminded them of Spruce, because they think he is still alive and they are still searching for him
