Ever dabbled in clay? You can find all sorts of modeling clay at bookstores and stationery shops, offering endless fun and a myriad of shapes to create. In fact, many talented individuals use it to craft absolute masterpieces!
We've previously featured the amazing clay artist Okiha (@okihasA), known for their hilarious creations like "Pokémon Sucking on Ditto" and "Pokémon Getting Hit in the Face by a Poké Ball." Now, Okiha is back on X with their latest viral sensation: "Emoji-Faced Ditto." This quirky, adorable, and incredibly creative series has already racked up massive retweets and shares from netizens.
We've highlighted Okiha's work multiple times, and what's truly impressive is that they craft these intricate Pokémon figures using simple, affordable clay bought from 100-yen stores like Daiso. They unleash their creativity by hand-sculpting various Pokémon forms, always adding a unique thematic twist.
This time, the concept is "Emoji-Faced Ditto," featuring the popular "kaomoji" (Japanese emoticons) commonly used in online forums. Each Ditto sports a different kaomoji expression, perfectly complemented by hand-sculpted poses. And of course, Okiha didn't forget to create promotional images that look exactly like official gashapon capsules – just seeing them makes you want to twist the machine and get one! They're absolutely adorable!

Each figure is meticulously hand-sculpted, with simple hand-painted details bringing the expressions to life. The combination with the kaomoji effect is pure fun!
