Ballin' It Old Skool

Share

This started out as an outfit idea, where I wanted to see how them cool sneakers from spongebob looked on SodaDog, with a sleeveless hoodie that has matching colours, which would end up fully-forming the athletic-like idea. Think of it as an outfit he would wear if he wants to go ballin' for the day, than just do it as a side hobby.


Then I realised how "comical" the outfit looked on SodaDog, considering he's a Toon, so I opted for 90s corniness...which may seem out-of-place since he's more accusomisted to 2000s stuff, but it still fits him. I took this further by studying early 90s graphical design, because who doesn't love trianglular shapes and stretched font? I wanted the background to be sorta minimalist, but it was dull so I wanted to add a filter that made it look like it was scanned out of an old magazine cutout.


From now on, I'm keeping SodaDog's muzzle style as his current look. No more two circle shapes with a sonic-esque smile, it's now a full Max Goof-esque shape that adds extra tooniess that was apparently missing from the cartoony and cool balance.
