Queer punk Growlithe needle felt sculpt I sold last year! Got really self-indulgent for this one. #Pokemon #Needlefelt #Queer #Punk
A needle felt sculpt of the Pokémon, Growlithe, done up like a queer punk. She is sitting with a smile that shows off a stud piercing on her tongue, and is wearing a leather vest with spikes on the shoulders and a trans flag on the back, beneath the word "EVOLVE", wherein the O is a Pokéball. She has rainbow streaks dyed in her tuft of hair. Other details include studded leather cuffs, an o-ring collar, red eye shadow, rings along her ears and one in her septum, a dangly pink skull earring, and eyes that subtly include the colors of the trans flag. Another angle of the same sculpt. Another angle of the same sculpt. Another angle of the same sculpt.
