The new Ghost Burger, co-launched by the emerging designer "sculptsoul" and SPARK WORKS, is about to debut! Originally a 5 cm tall figure, it has been reshaped into a nearly 15 cm tall soft vinyl figure, bringing new changes in both articulation and design fun. As a collector, you definitely can't miss the behind-the-scenes secrets of this work. Let's take a look at "sculptsoul's" introduction to this piece!

"Ghost Burger" Setting

Ghost Burger is a mouth-watering yokai. He emits a tempting aroma, but the charms on his body make people wonder—are these charms used to seal him, or did he put them on himself? This has become an unsolved mystery. Ghost Burger is mischievous by nature and loves to cause trouble, especially by tearing off the charms on other yokai. When he tears off a charm, he shows a smug ghostly face, as if declaring his victory.

 

Influences

The creation of Ghost Burger originated from an event themed around "Hyakki Yagyō" (the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons). During the creative process, inspirations from Chinese charms and Japanese geta sandals were cleverly combined with Eastern and Western yokai cultures. Ghost Burger is the result of these influences, embodying traits of both Eastern and Western yokai with a unique personality.

 

Design Process Insights

The initial Ghost Burger prototype was entirely handcrafted and sculpted manually. The subsequent process of transforming this handmade prototype into a soft vinyl toy involved scanning and enlarging it into a 3D file, followed by detailed modifications and sectioning in the computer. This is a complex and meticulous process, with each step requiring a high level of professional skill and patience.

Exciting Design Results

Once the soft vinyl toy development was complete, after numerous discussions and refinements of the spray paint details, the final product is stunning in both overall articulation and color presentation. Holding it in your hands, you can feel its solid weight and the richness of the colors and details. This sense of satisfaction is truly indescribable.

 

Differences Between SPARK WORKS Project Outcomes and Expectations

Although the final results of resin pieces and soft vinyl toys differ slightly due to the different materials used, there were thorough discussions and agreements during the initial design phase. As a result, the actual product aligns closely with the initial vision, with almost no unexpected elements.

 

The Birth of Ghost Burger is a fascinating journey from a spark of creativity to its concrete realization, with every detail reflecting the creator's dedication and wisdom. This mouth-watering yokai, with its rich backstory and intricate design, is sure to captivate collectors and make them reluctant to part with it!
