Erick Scarecrow and ourselves teamed up to bring you a customisable SOOPA and Shiitake. A member by the name of 'Fransisco' responded with a custom called 'Hoodie'. Fransisco has been producing some really interesting customs with a heavy cartoon influence. We were able to get hold of some work in progress shots as well as a few words from the artist.
"I look to take an object in it's original form and transform it into something very different. This means I look for familiar shapes and silhouettes to work an idea around. For example, the first feature of the SOOPA that caught my eye was the slanted sides and sunken center panel, I began to see a hooded figure with super short legs. Once my eye latches on to something like that it's like a dog with a bone and I'll push the idea through as far as it will go."
The hand surrounding the baseball was improvised and probably the most tricky surface to work with. I sketched out the basic lines first, then adding in the color. Towards the end it was easy for me to keep uploading, previewing in 3D, going back to the template and refining before repeating the process until I was finally happy to submit the last draft."
