Decided to paint my shoes in Fallout 3 style! :D (Fallout 3 is a video game)
I'll paint it on my (real) shoes with acrylic paint, so it won't be a virtual shoe :P
I will keep this topic up to date with WIPs, for now I only have the sketch of the right shoe ready.
Sketch for right shoe:

Sketch for left shoe:

Made a start with painting:

Right shoe is almost done now :D

Worked day and night on this, but it's finished!

Here's a video with the process!

That is very cool BaukjeSpirit. Will you be doing this with Gimp or MyPaint? Looking forward to seeing the end result.

Cool. I wish I had thought of doing something like that when I was younger.

I've painted my shoes before, but never on purpose. :)

Unfortunately, I did too; white paint's next to impossible to get out of tanned steel-toed work shoes. lol

Look forward to a photo of your final result when through BaukjeSpirit. :)

baukjespirit: the sketch looks very good, nice job! looking forward to seeing the finished shoes - you will post a photo, won't you? i always liked to paint, embroider or otherwise bling my converse when i was younger and they weren't trendy then, so i could usually get them cheap and wasn't afraid to play with them.

Ofcourse, I will :)
I bought fake All Stars, because real ones are really expensive and I was afraid to ruin my shoes if I failed :P

I've added some more progress!

baukjespirit: it looks great so far! oh this is fun :). i wish i had some shoes to paint myself. back in the days when i painted (or otherwise blinged) my converse they were only worn by crazy people like me (at least here in sweden), and my pairs cost me practically nothing. t6he downside was that they were so hard to find.

Thank you all!
AnMal: You should buy a pair and paint on it! I'd love to see how you do it and what you come up with, since you've done it before :D

I just finished it, I'll show the finished work soon. But first I'll clean this mess up and have some dinner.. :)

baukjespirit: hehe, don't get me too inspired, i can't afford it right now! i'm a bit impressed you can work on anything in that space, though - i always sat on the floor to get as much free space as possible.

You mean the real converse shoes? Those are indeed too expensive, the ones I bought(the fake ones) were 10 euros :P

Anyways, here they are!
