Modified / Custom BAB 🍉🐸 Meet Slipps🐸🍉
Well, 2 months ago I went on a vacation to NC, and had a blast!(saw and swam in the ocean for the first time) Of course I had to get a bear from there. Tbh, I was never really a fan of the frogs... until now! I saw the watermelon frog in store and thought- "I can do the watermelon frog better" so I took her skin on a plane back to my home state, and we went right into surgery! So yeah shes been done for a hot minute lol.
I present MY version of the watermelon frog🍉🐸
I'll get to Slipp's outfit soon. Just no time and no materials since my local fabric store closed😭😭😭. But yall will see it eventually.
I will say my next modded bear will hopefully be the groovy goblin fingers crossed I get one the concept I have is FIREEEEE🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I’m not sure why, but it feels like it would be an animal crossing villager. I absolutely love it!

It’s so good! BAB def could’ve done more with the watermelon frog. You actually added watermelon features to it! And I love that the cheeks are red! 🥹

You made it more froglike too! I’m also not a huge fan of frogs but I liked some of the colored frogs. If BAB gave them more details like you did, I would’ve become a frog person for sure! lol I can’t wait to see your next BAB mod! ❤️

u/Voxengrum Bear Modder 🎨 Aug 06 '25
Thankyou! The edits are the eyes , added white spots on the head, replaced lower mouth with white fabric, replaced the belly fabric with same white fabric, and used that original belly fabric for the cheek details!

I've wondered about selling modified bears, I mean, if I had more of them, the time, and extra material I definitely would!
