Labubu Corpse Paint

 Like Father Like son
As Every GenZ does I have maternal attachment with my plushies

I did it. I gave into the gobildygoo. My Bestie somehow convinced me to go to the mall with her to go buy a labubu. I was not gonna do it cause they were about 30 each at the store we went to. but she did. and she pulled her least fav color. so naturally she looked over at me and said. 

"I guess we could be matching bestie"

 So Now I have one.First off I noticed the plastic of the face was that type of soft plastic babies are made of. which is a really soft plastic that takes paint mediums really well. I still was not gonna risk it so I still sanded the plastic. That's one thing I will always say. If You are gonna paint anything. It's your best bet to use a rather low grit sand paper to add texture to whatever you are painting. But the labubu is still not the perfect canvas since the rest of the body is made of this fluff. fluf that cant really get taped over with painters tape. so my solution was this little plastic bag rain coat. Now its time for the Paint!!!. I knew since the face was so small I needed something really simple. and considering the fact that I have been a raw black metal fiend It's not surprising that I chose Corpse paint.

This is For shure a Lafufu

It's really obvious this is a fake. the face is off kilter. the paint quality was really bad. and There was sprewy plastic on the emblem on the foot. so I can't say I am ruining a genuine pop mart Labubu. I certainly do not treat products as some people do. I find no trends or products like that sacred. It's the reason I got a hydroflask from marshals for 15 dollars. you will not care about this eventually.everyone won't care about this eventually. so let me just have fun and ruin this bootleg.

Ink Time   

I think the spirit of this labubu was trying to tell me something cause my ink leaked onto my hand while i was shaking the jar of ink. thankfully nothing got onto him so no harm no foul. what I needed to do was redraw the mouth and face. which was pretty easy considering the mouth, teeth, and eyes are molded into the face. now it's fun time! I had alot of inspo but I needed something to work well with the labubus weird face structure. and I thought the downward looking "angry eyes" look would fit their awkward build well.

Finished!! 

I Love it!!! I know he's too goofy looking to wear corpse paint well but He's so cute and evil Looking. It actually really reminds me of The aphex twin teddy bears. If I ever get my hands on another one. That's my next idea. Either that or a Juggalo Labubu. I really like this project. I don't really have an opinion on the overall trend. It's a trend of course its overblown and people are making too big a deal of it. I think the Levi Hildebrad could inform you alot more than me. and gives a better conclusion.
