The lovely Mel asked me to transform a pair of pumps into slayer shoes. She sent me the shoes and a TPB of Fray and I got to work (as soon as I finished reading it, that is).
Everything went faster this time because I knew I needed:
1) 4 long panels with visual interest for the sides.
2) 4 kick-ass close-ups for the heels and toes
3) A selection of smaller rectangular shots for the in-between spots
4) Some tiny pictures for the inevitable gaps
So I marked illustrations I liked as I read and picked ones to cut out only after checking to see if they'd fit on the shoe.
Then I decided to get faaaancy and layer pictures:
The goal is for you not to be able to tell, but this shot is three separate illustrations: The shot with the tattoo is the bottom, with the picture of Fray with her arm out and the red blade layered over it.

And Mel was happy too, which was the best part!
A couple of people have asked, so:
To get your own geek shoes, just send me the shoes and comic of your choice. My jar of Mod Podge and I will do the rest!
These came out so well!! (Also, I LOVE Fray!)
