I wish I could like this a million times.
I'm in love with Link's, Samus's, and Marth's. :love:

Man, these inspire me to want to make my own shoes, but then i'd feel like a rip of artist. :ohwell:

dood! you CAN do some of your own! share your inspiration with others :)
and you really dont want to do somthing similar to me, try doing it with characters or things not in smash, like animals, or playstation characters, or evil movie characters :)

Original Post updated, thank you all for all the nice words :)

Next up will be Bowser and Pitt, two of the most requested characters.
However I would like to clarify, I actually drew all these shoes in one sitting, and have been colouring
them in slowly and uploaded them as i finish.

Bowser and Pitt will mark the end of that first drawing session, so there may be a couple days
after these 2 before more get uploaded.

Thank you for your patience.

These look really cool! Especially the Marth one.....

The only one I'm not convinced with is the Kirby one.....I feel like it should either be simplified even more or made complicated in another direction. (like what would happen if Kirby swallowed a shoe....he'd become the shoe literally.

Just an idea.....

Olimar is my new favorite (the mesh was genius). These are amazing.

EDIT: Seems you're doing these in some order of requests. Game & Watch and Pokemon Trainer are ones I'd like to see.

I personally would wear a pair of Link shoes (totally awesome), but I also wanted to give you props for how much the Fox shoes resemble his head while still looking like real shoes. Top notch work!

I don't give a damn about shoes generally. One or two solid pairs of shoes and I'm good for years.

But I gotta give due credit to talent, and these are a lot of fun, keep up the great work!

A bit of shameless self-promotion ;)

At the moment im putting together a series of sketches of shoes, inspired by the characters of smash bros 4.
I know some designers struggle to find inspiration, and i hope that by doing this,
i can show that its not that hard to get inspired!

all images will eventually be uploaded to my blog: http://tweetypurd.tumblr.com/








How did I not see this thread before?!

If these go for sale, i'm tempted to buy.

This is an odd choice for fan art. Regardless, impressive job! I would buy the Luigi shoes (because Luigi is my favorite character) and the Pit Shoes (because that looks freaking awesome) if they were real!

Odd thread and odd fanart, but interesting nonetheless. Those are really impressive designs.

I wish these were real shoes. (but I have weird feet, so I can't wear them anyway)

You know what I like most about Dedede's? The thought that everywhere I go I'd be stamping large stars into the ground.
I'm not as sold on Zelda and Peach (Peach seems oddly bulky) as the others but they're still all great.

Original post updated, only one more page to go now before we need to wait for more character reveals!

Haha that would be awesome, if i designed the bottoms of the shoes there would definatly be the head of the hammer in the heel!
Peach and Zelda were really difficult to do i found, maybe if i did another attempt i would do a better job, but really i was just taking inspiration
These sketches are kinda like brainstorming sketches, the first initial idea. if this was a full project, i would then take the initial idea and develop and refine it
thank you for the feedback :)

I'm totally feeling Lucario's! They have such a sense of speed and aggression that really fits with his playstyle. What's with those black threads poking out the back though?

On Rosalina, consider changing the white for pearl.

Those "threads" are just sketch lines from when i drew it originally, they can be seen at the toe of rosalinas, and across all the shoes here and there :p

Ah. Initially, those on the upper back of Lucario's looked oddly dark, as though they had been inked in intentionally. Now I realise that a lot of your sketch lines are like that.

I just stumbled onto this and I have to say I'm pretty impressed. I'll take two pairs of each, please.
