Come on in, the water's fine, and consider trying out this new raft modeled after my noodle self... Yeah, you see what I did there? Pool noodles? Yeet.

In this transformed depiction of myself that I hope is still able to talk and move around, I have become an easily commercialized and super shiny pool toy, one who's light enough to easily carry around- That is, you do intend to carry him around while he's already filled with air, right? Not deflate him and then stuff him in a box somewhere first? And is that an aggressive-looking crab crawling along the sand? Maybe it's a better idea that Pool Toy Mello stay behind actually... or at least watch from an elevated platform or whatnot.

This version of me seems to be very happy, his smile hopefully not being constantly forced. He certainly is very polished though, and you can even see his adorable beans, all four of them... Wait, how does anatomy work on pool toys exactly? Anyway, doesn't matter; he looks super cute and deserves to be in a pool toy contest! Hope he doesn't get sand in his shorts in the process.

Made as a birthday present by the continuously friendly and handsome lad known as The Stickman, what also works as an icon is extremely adorable and has an amazing style! This was also my outstanding artist friend's first time delving into the extremely obscure genre of anthropomorphic pool toy transformation, which makes this expressive and detailed masterpiece all the more impressive! He even added a lovely beach setting for a background; what's not to love?

The wonderful creator's other artwork can be seen across his gallery, so please take a look and leave comments! He's also an equally talented writer of blogs and soon short stories!
