Bakugo boots!
Added 2017-08-02 19:30:13 +0000 UTCThought I'd try to put some public posts on here since social media feeds suck and limit your reach. But here's a completed Bakugo boot!
Since reading the manga I always read his shoes as combat boots; so that's the base I went with. I think it fits him as a character and his costume style. So whenever I saw those orange dots I assumed them to be eyelets, despite not showing shoelaces. A lot of hand painting went into my boots to get the orange vibrant. Then, instead of painting eyelets, I removed all the silver ones the shoes came with (34 on each boot), re-punched the 3mm holes to 6mm, then added all new two-piece orange eyelets. My hand is killing me but I'm so flipping happy with the overall look of these shoes.
These are the types of details I love on costumes. Even if no one notices or understands the effort I put into a pair of boots, I know I put all my love into these characters and costumes. ❤️ Always be proud of the work you do even the details that are simple and overlooked.
Of course, when the costume is complete, the process of the boots will be available within the costume writeup with photos!
