 Posted: Thu Nov 05, 2009 6:23 pm Post subject: EYE CANDY : Cosmic UNKLE Dunk Lo |
 |
|
|
|
So its been about a month since i last posted but Ive been crazy busy with these and another sought after pair *cough* paris mids *cough*
I know UNKLE dunks have been done ad nauseum but when this customer asked me to do a pair I couldnt refuse. I feel like in every customizers journey inevitably they are asked to do something similar to the UNKLEs or paris dunks and I took it not as just another job but as a chance to push my own customizing ability outside of my own style.
My take on the UNKLE dunk is really focused on the pointman character and the weird otherworldly energy they seem to give off when you see them. I took this idea and ran with it using a variety of effects to convey this mysterious,ominous energy.
the Cosmic UNKLEs feature Completely handpainted artwork as well as a sort of Marvel inspired energy burst print on the midpanel. Also the levanter glows Ultra Blue in the dark(pics up later its still charging)
All comments and criticisms are welcome
ENJOY!

Not bad, the paint work is solid and looks crisp. My only question is why is there random perforations on the heel panel

thats just the base shoes and the more i looked at them the more they kind of fit with kind of otherworldly,strange feeling i was going for plus they kind of look like the random black fleck on the Never, Neverland UNKLE album cover

the work on these is dope, but that red seems too dull. I'd love to see a brighter color splashed in there to really bring these alive....even if it was just the laces

I wonder if Futura feels the same way we do when we see our customs faked when he sees these. Clean work though.
