Description
This is a pair of shoes I made for milady and my 1 year anniversary... back in May. I don't know why it took me so long to get this photo put together for everyone to see.Anyway, this is the third pair of shoes that I have custome made. I still used the same cheap ol' pair of Van's knock offs I always do, and I still used prismacolor markers to color the thing.
The one thing I wish I could improve is the waterproofing. I'm too afraid to try any waterproofing product on any of the shoes I made because I'm too scared that it will make the ink run when I apply it. Does anyone have any good suggestions about what to use to keep these shoes wearable for longer?

The blank shoes themselves? I used a pair of knock off vans that ended up costing $30.
How much would I charge to make a pair like that? $150.

Yes. Yes they are.
It's too bad that they probably don't look like this anymore. My waterproofing technique isn't the best, and when you wear shoes, dirt tends to happen.

I didn't actually waterproof this pair. But nowadays I just use a 3M scotchguard waterproofer that I can here in Japan. It'll make the colors run if you're not careful, but if you apply very light mistings over a period of a few days, water will run off them like a duck.

Those are sweet....what kind of paint did you use?

Not paint: markers. I used prismacolor markers.

You could use clear nail polish to coat them probably.

Already found a way to waterproof. And it makes them like frickin' ducks. Water just rolls right off them.
Anyway, if you like them, I recently opened up some spots for shoe commissions. You should check it out: [link] Only 2 spots left.

That sounds pretty awesome. The only problem for me is that I don't use fabric paint.
I haven't been able to experiment on shoes for a while because of moving to Japan and because of a lack of money, but some people have given me some good ideas to try so that I can keep making them in marker and then waterproof them.

do you think you could make me some? i'd pay REALLY good money (up to 100 dollars) for them!!! think about it, and send me a message if your up for it!

Commissions are currently closed for my move to Japan. Talk to me in a couple months, once I've settled down.

And sorry, i'm going to feel like an idiot for asking this, but what does commision mean? Just to buy something?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
To commission a piece of art is basically to order it from an artist. It's just traditionally been called commissioning instead of ordering because of the one-on-one feeling it has.
For example, if an artist had a print that you wanted to buy, you'd just 'buy' it. But if you had a very particular art piece that you wanted to pay them to make, you'd be 'commissioning' them. Instead of buying something they've already done, you're buying something they're doing specifically for you.
