Description ***IMPORTANT***
If you seen my shoes posted elsewhere, PLEASE notify me. Stealing my work will make me very, very angry. If you are inspired by my shoes, and have asked to use my ideas, that's okay. I do not permit directly trying to copy my ideas, or making them completely the same. NOT COOL PEOPLE.

----->FULL VIEW! -- Or you'll be missing out! ;D <-----

SHOE #1 -- FINISHED! -- Yes, this is only one shoe hehe. [Left shoe.]

Shoe #2 -- FINISHED!! :: [link]

BOTH SHOES :: [link]

These converse first started out totally white, and the main objective with them was to eliminate all white areas on the shoes. I think for the first shoe, I accomplished that pretty well hehe.

Done completely with sharpies, and a hell of a lot of time and patience.
Multiple words/lyrics/sayings are scattered throughout my shoes. And I tried to make them as colorful as possible. :]]

Hope you enjoy them!!!


WOW!
I can't believe how many freaking views/faves/comments this has received!
I have seriously enjoyed reading EVERY comment that has been written, and I will continue to try to respond to them all hehe.
As for all the faves, I appreciate it SO MUCH.

I've decided to add a FAQ just because I've gotten about a million of the exact same questions, so hopefully this helps.

FAQ:
Q: How did you get the markers to not bleed? Did you spray them first or something?
A: I didn't spray them at first with anything. There is really no technique to the blending, I honestly just colored. I did have some bleeding though, I simply covered it up with the outlines/borders. :]

Q: What size sharpies did you use?
A: I used mostly the regular sized ones, along with the fine tip and in a few areas the chisel tip ones.

Q: What colors were these at first?
A: White.

Q: How did you get the converse emblem thing off? [The circle with the star that says converse.]
A: I took some pliers, and tore it off. Once you get the edges going, I would highly recommend using your hands to get the rest off.

Q: Did you spray these with anything? Sealers, waterproofers, etc?
A: I sprayed them with like, a Prismacolor finish thing, I don't think it really did anything to them though haha.

Q: Will you sell me these?
A: No. :]

Q: Do you do commissions?
A: No, I dislike commissions, a lot. Haha I'm too nervous the buyer won't like what I make. Buuuuut, if I do make another pair [Which I am], they will be for sale.

Q: What happens when they get wet?
A: I don't know, I haven't worn them in the rain or snow or anything.

Try to read this before you ask anything else. xD

I want to customize a converse too but i'm afraid it will just mess up because i'm not so artistic and maybe my money will be wasted when i paint or draw anything that is not good

did the sharpie stay on the rubber parts well? I couldnt find a good medium for the rubber around the bottom of mine. I tried paint markers and even they didnt do it.

KalieMONSTER In reply to InFeRiOr-RaVeN [2011-01-15 18:52:46 +0000 UTC]

To me, sharpie has always stayed on the rubber really well, and for the most part, because the rubber wears down after time, it doesn't really matter too much what you use, because eventually it will get scraped off and ruined. I have actually only wore these shoes out in public twice.. lol.

InFeRiOr-RaVeN In reply to KalieMONSTER [2011-01-15 19:16:40 +0000 UTC]

that was what I kind of figured. the pair I made for myself turned out to have some longevity because Ive tried it before. I did a pair for an ex gf and used sharpies on those. It turns out that black sharpies wont run when exposed to water, but colored sharpies will. so I took some time and got my hands on some fabric markers for mine.

Did you just freestyle with the sharpies or was there a pencil drawing that came first? I did pencil first.

KalieMONSTER In reply to InFeRiOr-RaVeN [2011-01-15 20:15:03 +0000 UTC]

Oh ha well that's interesting about how the colors run and the black doesn't. Can't say I knew that!

Nah, no pencil. Just kinda went at it. :]

InFeRiOr-RaVeN In reply to KalieMONSTER [2011-01-15 21:56:48 +0000 UTC]

I think that black is petroleum based or solvent based. The colors probably dont have a great base
