SWINETAUR (Darkest Dungeon) Pipe cleaner figure I sicced this guy on last night's D&D players. Being too close to be got by the pike, the fighter ducked 2 Nat20s! Includes fun foam, paint, wood, chain and a plastic fireman's pike. Stands 4" (10.16 cm) high. #darkart #pipecleanerart #darkestdungoen

The Slashers of AMPUTHEATRE, 16/31: SEVEREN If zoning is your bag, look no further than the undead gunfighter. Severen's fast hands let him attack first in any round with never-ending bullets that pin prey down and can't be punished. His Colt Dance steers foes into deadly obstacles. #pipecleanerart

A pipe cleaner figure I built of an original character I call Severen McCabe. Severen is a zombie gunfighter with a blow-t face and ghost hands in place of his severed ones. He wears a brown duster and a black hat. Bullet holes riddle his chest, and two green eyes glow where his face should be.

A second figure I built of Severen. This figure has a black coat, long gray hair, and greener spectral energy.

The Severen figure completely dismembered. Its head and arms lie next to its fallen body.

Severen's Slasher Bio:

“I shot up far too many men, women n’ children to avoid swingin’. Always thought the gallows was the only thing in the cards for ol’ Severin’ Severen McCain. Damn, was I wrong. Once the Sheriff and his posse caught me, they cut me loose- after chopping off both my hands with a dull tomahawk. Damn, shoot off one guy’s hand for cheatin’ at poker, an’ it marks you. Sheriff di’nt trust the desert to finish me off, even after three days of runnin’. Last thing I remember seein’ was down the twin gullets of the lawman’s shotgun. Now I’m awake again. I look around and a huge building- some kinda arena- was put up around the shallow hole where I guess I’d been kept all these years. And thousands’a people are around- most’ve ‘em watching from those seats up high, and some down here slicin’ each other’s limbs off. Fools keep fillin’ the seats, no matter how many’a their heads I blow off. Their presence here hurts me- BURNS me. Maybe’t’s why I got glowing ghost hands comin’ from my stumps, and my wheelguns don’t run outta lead. Because I’m a sumbitch what knows what’s mine. And I want ALL these assholes offa my grave.”

SHADRAD: I also think it's annoying to be annoyed by what trends seem popular with audiences, honestly. The things YOU like are still being written, but your tastes are not being catered to en masse, oh no?

The Slashers of AMPUTHEATRE, 15/31: MALICE This ripped-up redhead can scrap at any distance. Grappling her is a bad idea, while keeping your distance opens you up to blinding ground glass and damaging, long-range shard throws. Draw her huge Vorpal Shard and dismember all in her way! #pipecleanerart

A pipe cleaner figure I built of an original character I call Malice. Malice is a red-headed woman with fishnet stockings, Daisy Dukes, and glass shards embedded in her body. A shirt front reading "YOLO" is tacked to her chest, and she wields a bloody pane of glass.

The Malice figure completely dismembered. Her head and arms lie next to her fallen body. Note the "skin sheath" for her glass sword on her back.

A second pipe cleaner figure I built of Malice. This figure has shorter pigtails and a shard of glass in her teeth.

Malice's Slasher Bio:

“ ’Go free’? Go where? It’s not like I have a place to go. The Sonnenburgs (I don’t call them ‘Mom’ or ‘Dad’ anymore) told me to forget about coming back. Well, he did. But ya’d think maybe she might’ve objected- like a little. After all, she’s the only one in the family who ever wanted me to be born- I know I never asked. Sorry. Got off topic. I’ve been told I can leave the AMPUTHEATRE. Again. The Evil Wardens who run these stupid contests told me I’ve won my full pardon more than enough times. They must get sick of looking at me; them and a thousand others. They can stick the pardons up their asses. Leave the arena? Nowhere else on earth brings the release I need. Nothing can bring the pain like this place. Pain is how I was able to stop riding the H train in the first place. Stupid fucking parents. Prison didn’t cure me. Prison doesn’t cure SHIT. No: it was the scarification that kept the monkeys off my back. And this arena will make sure they stay off. Because there’ll always be some asshole across the killing floor who knows I’m gonna kill them, so they’re going to slice me up first. And it will feel. So. Right. ‘Leave’? Screw that noise!”

The funniest thing Shane said in his set was "There's literally no other way to describe it!" which proves the PERFECT sentence to utter when you are an observational stand-up comedian GEORGE CARLIN: "Have you ever been behind a driver who's SLOW...? There's literally no other way to describe it!"

The Slashers of AMPUTHEATRE, 13/31: TORSEAU Whether on his feet or his back, the disfigured clown is a formidable fighter. His hallucinogenic paint vapors misdirect his opponents' attacks, while his steel cleats make his Spin Cycle one of the most feared grabs in all of AMPUTHEATRE. #pipecleanerart

A pipe cleaner figure I built of an original character I call Torseau. Torseau is a clown wearing a pom-pom hat over his entire head, with a white face painted on his chest. His oversized clown shoes are studded with bolts and nails as cleats.

The Torseau figure completely dismembered. Its head and arms lie next to its fallen body.

A second figure I built of Torseau. This figure wears a yellow polka-dot top hat over his face and has green arm pit hair for the chest face (that's a permanent character trait now).

Torseau's Slasher Bio"

“If we’re being honest, I wasn’t all that shocked or upset when the truth got out about the Cirque du Sang. Deep down, I knew the day would come when I would pay for my crimes. But whatever I had done should never have extended to Elatio. He was not complicit in any of this. He was just a clown. He only wanted to bring happiness to everyone in the Twilight of Reason. Hah! “Twilight of Reason”; tell me about it. For while only I could bring Elatio the Clown to life, people nowadays are incapable of separating the art from the artist. And now Elatio- a clown who only ever wanted to make children laugh- is dead. Sentenced to fight in the death contest meant for me. Murdered by a thoughtless slice across my face with a glass shard- and to reuse this tainted, torn canvas to depict Elatio would be a disservice to his fans and our childhoods. To avenge the loss of this innocent character, a new clown has risen from this wreckage. As his face emblazons my chest, I call him Torseau. He appears with the best paint I could find in this cell block. And since hate is the language anyone nowadays speaks, he has converted Elatio’s shoes into weapons- weapons hungry for that damn redhead.”
