Sun Shang Xiang shoes

Post by Sukame » Mon Oct 10, 2005 10:40 am

-Fighting Game
-Sun Shang Xiang
-Dynasty Warriors 5

For a group project I'm basically making all four costuimes for my friends and I and I've having a hard time figuring out how to construct Sun Shang Xiang's shoes.

For other shoes I'm taking a plainish shoe and working off from that by painting and adding material to them, but I don't even really know where to start on these. Suggestions?[/img]

You could probably start with a pair of Converse, and make covers for them. I hear it's pretty easy to find off-brand ones, so it should be pretty easy to find some you won't mind tearing up.
no leap in logic is too extreme... for RAGE!

My own personal suggestion would be to start with a pair of martial arts shoes (Like what Krillin wear in DBZ) they're relatively cheap (Like.. $3 ^_^). The hardest thing is gonna be finding a place that sells them. They used to sell them at my Isshnryu Karate dojo, and if you have a Chinatown (There's one in just about every big city) that would be a great place to look for them. Good luck! ^_^
