bleeding love.

OMFG AN UPDATE!

Bleeding Love ($40)

A shoe i did at the start of this year ;D
The customer requested that the shoe be "Emo", which is honestly something i'm not uhh really good at. I was out of ideas for a really long time, but one night everything just worked itself out. Perhaps i was feeling upset.. XD;;? I really like the end product though, perhaps this i'm better with Emo than i though. (: The initial idea revolved around the song "Bleeding Love", but eventually, it more or less settled around "I'm not crying, I'm bleeding."

Design:

"I'm not crying, I'm bleeding"

I'm sorry i took so darn long to get these up! I finally stole a card reader today 8D Anyway i'm stilll reaaalllyy busy, so i think i'll just paint and post shoes up here for people to buy, hur. However, if you're really keen on owning a pair of customised sneakers and you don't mind waiting for a reaaaaaaaaally long time; drop me an email at lennelenne [at] gmail.com . (:

Flashback!

To help people ~~find the photos easier~~ have a better idea of how the designs are like, this post is dedicated to all the shoes painted thus far!

Click on photos for full-view.

Bloody Regrets ($38)
Black shoes with red swirls. The words "bloody regrets" were requested by the customer and painted on the inner side of the shoes. The first pair i sold! Honestly, black canvas murders cause very few paints appear on the canvas.
A very popular design. Unfortunately, i am willing to paint similar designs for the same price, but i won't produce this shoe anymore.

Ginmink Gimmick ($22)
This design features guitars, rainbows, ~~female paul twohills~~ a girl, a whale, and butterflies! Retro funky colors for the win! I adore this design because its so colorful and happy ~~and gay~~! 8DDDD

Martini Kiss ($40)
I have no photos of this, unfortunately. The customer ordered this on Valentine's day for her boyfriend! How adorable. ;D

Cait and Cactuar ($20)
Final Fantasy crack. (: The shoes feature Cactuar and Cait Sith of the popular Final Fantasy franchise.

Monochrome/WoW ($35)
Featuring a Warcraft Orc and a robot on a hopscotch. This was completed within a two day time constraint! As a result, i didn't have the time to fill in colors. I personally like black/white shoes though. But i think its a personal preference. :DD
