Samus shoe!

all i did was pull a screenshot of dear beloved samus from a nes emulator. photoshop it to size and put up a little grid on the shoe and painted the whole shebang in with.... well.. paint. i might do another one with a smaller samus with some scenery and maybe a metroid.

Aww dude, that's so much cooler than my Hello Kitty bedsheets. Do you do commissions?!

this just started as a way to burn time so no commissons but i suppose i could take some, thats actually the first and only shoe i've done with a pixelated design. but for sure i'd consider painting a design for someone.

sweet Idea! you should stick up an instructable or something.

what kind of paint did you use?

Nice idea. I would be a bit concerned about how it would stand up to the elements though. Especially here in good ol' Blighty.

Hey i'm glad you all dig it! I used acrylic and also sprayed a clear coat on it after it had dried to give it some more protection. can take a good beating but the main problem with it is that when i actualy wear these and walk around, the shoe flexes right along samus' five pixel wide belly. i'm sure its going to crack sooner or later. I think if I made the sprite smaller the flexing wouldn't be much of a problem. right now i'm just thinking of a good subject for the next one.
