Thank you Alex [:
And thank you very much for the kind words, Jane. I normally do what you do, just scribbling down ideas to see if they work (or I just randomly scribble, and see what comes out of it), but I figured that I should probably put a little more effort into this project. That, and I was pretty bored and pumped to get started. Those were drawn out and have been sitting in my desk since about a week after the concept originated, actually
There might have been another design in there, but I can't remember.
(however, the back of the shoes - the part with the names - was completely spontaneous, when I realized that I had nothing to go there)
Oh there I go, being modest again. I should probably stop doing that.
