Mass Effect Kicks!!

I started these as a stress-relief project in mid-December and now they're fiiiiinally done, 1 week before release lol. I've wanted to try to try my hand at custom shoe painting for a long time, so I decided to paint all 16 squaddies from ME1 and ME2 tokidoki-style (or as close as I could get, it's actually a lot harder than it looks =X).

I have to be at school all day until 10:30pm on March 6th, so I'll be wearing these to class to ease the pain...



Each side took about 12-15 hours from design to finish, because I'm super slow. You can see the full gallery with WIP shots here. The shoes I used are Nike Men's Go Canvas shoes (I think they were a summer style though so they're not available anymore), and I used Angelus paints to paint everything. I also posted these on my tumblr if you're so inclined.
