Firstly, i'd like to apologise if this is in the wrong board as i was unsure on whether it should go here or in the Custom Accessories board  I just wanted to share with you all my A-Level Art final piece which was a 15 hour art exam. I based my work off the PS3 game 'God Of War III' because i was so amazed by the concept artwork done by Andy Park, Cecil Kim and Charlie Wen, so i thought i'd give it a shot. Originally i was gonna hand in a RA Kratos custom (which is almost finished) but decided to customize a pair of Nike high-tops with a God Of War III theme. I was mainly inspired by a sneaker customizer who goes by the name of Jacob Patterson, that dude made a pair of God Of War Nike Dunks which were mind-blowing and thus i wanted to make my own pair. The display stand and Blades of Exile swords used as shoelace tips were all drawn out on 2D design (by me) and sent to a laser cutter which cut out all the pieces in plastic. All in all, it took about 8 hours to do this Apologies again for being kinda lazy, but photobucket has a really bad habbit of resizing my pics really small, so i'll just add the link to my Facebook page which has all the pics including progress pics which can be seen here: www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.167435919984509.40499.165901850137916Thanks for reading, and taking a look. I look foward to hearing your comments  EDIT: RA Kratos W.I.P.  Rated [R] NinJa |

Aha thanks man, what did you do for yours? and yeah, the God Of War series is pretty amazing! I only did the one trainer because i was worried i wouldnt get the other done and didnt wanna hand it in unfinished. But i still need to get around to painting that one too, atm i'm just stuck on ideas for what picture could go on the other one Rated [R] NinJa |

I just did some photoshop work trying to blend Inception and Escher together. Yeah i see the trouble there because there isn't really a main villian throughout the entire series Maybe do the symbol on the other trainer  |

Damn, i like that idea, Inception and Escher seems like it could work too. Could you PM me a pic possibly? And yeah, the Omega symbol was something else i was considering aswell as the actual God Of War III logo. Other people have told me i should do Kratos' other eye, but to be honest, i'd love to paint a section of this pic on the right trainer:  Rated [R] NinJa |

Man just thinking about you doing a video game for your a level art makes me thinking i missed a big oppurtunity for mine, I picked unusual viewpoints topic which lead me to inception and escher. Just thinking about it now, i couldve chose the artificial lighting subject and done something like alan wake or dead space |

Not to worry man, believe me i felt the same too last year. I got a really bad grade for my first year of Art because i was just really un-interested and un-inspired. Fortunately we began the exam prep mid-february which was about the time i first started playing God Of War III and i saw Jacob Patterson's trainers which just made my head blow up with ideas and creative opportunities  but my Art lessons are all over now and thank god! ;D Btw, here are the trainers Jacob Patterson did:  Rated [R] NinJa |

He painted them  he's put up a video on youtube which is an interview with Stig Asmussen and in parts of the video it shows him painting the trainers. Here's the vid: Another thing i noticed after my exam which was pretty cool was that on the left trainer, he painted Kratos from the God Of War I cover and had the Blades Of Chaos, whereas i painted Kratos from the God Of War III cover and added the Blades Of Exile. lol someone needs to do a pair based off the 2nd game now  Rated [R] NinJa |

He certainly does but me, nah i'm not all that good however i was pretty pleased with the turn out seeing as i've never been much of a painter. I'm telling you LtD73, it's alot easier than you'd think! You should give it a go on some spare trainers some time. Btw, check out the artist research drawings i had to do for the exam too: www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.166145803446854.39929.165901850137916Rated [R] NinJa |

Thanks man, the 3rd pic was just a concept i did for what my final piece could'a looked like. The blue Kratos was a quick sketch i did from this pic:  Rated [R] NinJa |

Wow. The chain laces of yours is a great touch. I think the right shoe should have Kratos doing something, Like what you were thinking earlier. I think you could add the omega symbol, maybe on the front of the shoe? Great work.
Edit: you have any pics of the RA Kratos?

LtD73: I would add that picture but i'd prefer to add something from the actual game if you know what i mean. christianedge: Thanks alot man, the chains were an absolute pain to thread through though i didn't want to post pics untill it was 100% finished but i may aswell post one this was the last photo i took, since then, i added the right forearm and sculpted the other piece of the Golden Fleece (my sculpting skills are very basic that's why i haven't added much detail) and gave him the Blades of Exile. All that's left to add are the chains on his wrists and around his left shinguard.. anyway, he's a preview of the first custom i've made in about 2 years! Rated [R] NinJa |

The WIP is awesome. I love when RA parts are used for other characters.
