Bastards took forever, let me tell you.

Completely hand-made by yours truly.

-YES, I did add a watermark. NO, I will not be taking it off. I found some assholes who stole the pictures of my Shiki boots and paraded them around as their own =/

Wow this looks amazing!
Sorry to hear about your work being stolen I can't believe people can sleep at night after claiming someone else's work as theirs.
Can I ask what fabric did you use for the boot cover for these?

Thanks~

And as far as the fabric I used, it is, as strange as it sounds, upholstery fabric. I'm not even joking; I got it from those huge rolls of fabric at the very back of my local Joann Fabric store. Fake leather could have worked too, I'm sure, but I liked the upholstery fabric because it's substantially thicker than pleather and most kinds of pvc fabric.

Thanks for the reply
That doesn't sound strange, they are more durable. Hmm I don't like PVC because I don't like shiny things (that sounded so depressing but I meant that it tends to look tacky in photos except for certain cosplays)

Are you willing to sell them?

Not these ones, no. They are for a costume I have yet to wear to a convention, so even if I did decide to sell, it wouldn't be for another year or more.

I do, however, take commissions if you're interested.

Oh alright, np.
So if I commissioned another pair of these Rinoa boots, how much would it cost?

Thanks for answering btw ))

You are pure genius! <(^o^)>

I can't believe someone stole your photos of the other boots. Sucky.

Thank you. And, seriously, it was one of those double take moments. I've found plenty of people who used the pictures to show other people ideas they were talking about, or something along those lines, but I was somewhat surprised when I found some jackass actually claiming them to be his own work, and trying to sell commissions based off of my pictures. I wasn't the one who caught him- I had a few concerned messages sent my way, and once enough people basically said 'dude, we know they are not yours' in the comments, he took them down and kind of disappeared.

It's good to know you had so much support. I would say that I can't believe that someone would do that, but that is the world we live in. I'm glad to hear that he took the pictures down. Some people!
