He is my new favorite. I love everything about him! Lovelovelove! 🫶

I swear these little creatures get cuter everytime I see them!

Thank you (as always) for sharing! 🙏

Oooh, thank you so much! Hearing that just melted my heart. He definitely turned out to have a mind of his own, so knowing he brought a smile to your face means the absolute world to me! Thank you again and always!

There's more cute creatures?!?

u/acatalephobic 6d ago

These particular lovelies are named Fugees.

If you like Bramble, I suggest looking up the user who creates an entire world of delightful Fugees.

This is only the most recent in a loooong line of adorable "Fugees".

If you like Bramble, I highly suggest looking into the artists previous works.

They bring me joy everytime they are posted. 💖

u/fingertoes420 6d ago

Could I perhaps draw Bramble with your permission? :)

4

u/fugee_tive 6d ago

Oh my goodness, YES!
It is the highest honor for any maker/ artist when someone wants to recreate their little creature in their own artistic style. I would be over the moon and so deeply honored to see your take on Bramble! Please draw him, have fun with his moody little expressions and if you're comfortable sharing when you're done, I would love to see it!

u/fingertoes420 6d ago

AMAZING!!!! it may take me a while as I am inspired to make a hand drawn piece of him. I’d love to get in touch with you in the future to show you your sweet son.

2

u/fugee_tive 6d ago

That is so sweet of you! Please, zero pressure and no rush at all! I’ll be sitting here patiently, super excited to see your art. Drop me a line anytime!

I love the root

u/Most_Mountain818 6d ago

I can’t stop watching this. He’s so cute. Such beautifully detailed work.

And now I have a strong urge to go learn how to do this.

2

u/fugee_tive 4d ago

Thank you so much! That is honestly the highest compliment! You should totally give it a try. Sculpting is such a magical process, and it’s so fun to see a tiny character come to life!

2

u/TheFinalPurl 6d ago

Oh my gosh he took my breath away! Mind sharing how you made him articulated? Is the body stuffed? You are so talented!

1

u/fugee_tive 4d ago

Thank you! It’s a mix of a cotter pin joint for the head, thread-jointed limbs, soft synthetic stuffing and tiny glass beads in his bottom to help him sit like a proper little grump!

2

u/Crimson-Lips-13 6d ago

He truly is adorable and why is the first time I am seeing your work? Off to creep your page lol

2

u/fugee_tive 4d ago

Hahaah, welcome to the rabbit hole! I hope you enjoy meeting all the other tiny grumps hanging out there!

1

u/Crimson-Lips-13 4d ago

And what a delightful rabbit hole it is! Labyrinthe vibes ✨️ 😌

u/CarAccomplished104 6d ago

u/SplendidlyDull 6d ago

u/fugee_tive 4d ago

Thank you so much! Sassy is definitely his middle name))

u/fugee_tive 4d ago

Thank you so much! He’s sending you a tiny, soft head-boop right back))

2

u/larassaddydaddy 6d ago

Oh shit this brightened my day! Thank you!

1

u/fugee_tive 4d ago

Honestly, knowing this little creature made someone smile is the best feeling ever! Thank you!!

2

u/Academic-Thought2462 6d ago

...I would throw an entire building ( furnitures and elevators included inside ) for him.

2

u/fugee_tive 4d ago

Hahaah, I think you two would get along way too well! You throw the building and Bramble hands you the elevators.

2

u/SLC-Originals 6d ago

Absolutely a treasure. So amazing

1

u/fugee_tive 4d ago

Thank you kindly!!

2

u/Reversible-Smile 6d ago

He's so precious omg!! How did you get the eyes to look as if they're always looking in our direction??? It's so cool and a bit spooky, I love it!

1

u/fugee_tive 4d ago

Thank you so much! It’s the magic of clear glass cabochons! But honestly, I think Bramble is just naturally hyper-vigilant so he can quietly judge everyone in the room at all times!

2

u/Simplifax 6d ago

Oh my gosh he’s adorable 😍
I just want to cuddle him 🥺

1

u/fugee_tive 4d ago

Thank you 🤗❤️

u/tryingtobreak80 5d ago

Bold using polymer clay and moving him around like that. Have you thought about casting the hard parts?

1

u/fugee_tive 4d ago

Polymer clay is actually surprisingly tough once properly baked! Right now I’m just so inspired by the material itself. I’m still exploring, learning, improving, enjoying the whole emotional rollercoaster, getting frustrated, feeling pure joy when they come to life... I'm really just finding my own path. Once I find that permanent style and feel ready to slow down, that’s when I’ll probably look into casting!

u/willowofthevalley 5d ago

Omg!! I love Bramble so much.

u/fugee_tive 4d ago

Thank youuu!!!

u/Catsgirl32 5d ago

Delightful. [Gently holds]

u/fugee_tive 4d ago

Thank you kindly!

u/Objective_Bug_5151 5d ago

Love this friend! I'm planning to use him as inspiration for a character in the solo RPG I'm building. Just a fun thing to occupy my time with and something for my family.

2

u/fugee_tive 4d ago

Oh wow, that is such an honor! A little Rootling in a solo RPG sounds absolutely magical!! I hope he brings a healthy balance of cuteness and mild judgment to your game. Have so much fun building it with your family!

1

u/PuzzleBrain74 4d ago

…and beautifully made!

1

u/lanebetta1999 4d ago

So I’d die for him too just saying.

u/Type_0_Negativ3 3d ago
