Research - Boots

Today I am looking at the type of boots I want my character too wear.
From the off I knew I wanted too place my character in big worker styled boots. Thinking from the mind of a child, they would pick up a part of large boots and pretend they could stomp around like they were a giant. So my character will have the same mindset and think by wearing these large boots she is more Gorilla like and have feet like them.



Here I found the image that come too mind when I think worker boots. I do like the tarnished effect on these boots, how they are wore away and all old. What I like the most the i the large tongues on the boot. I do want too have them on my final design, as it looks comical and gives a better impression that the boots are too big for my character. The toe caps on the boots are more square-ish, I think I may make my characters boots like this too. I will have too try rounded and shaped toe caps and see what look better.



I next found these boots, which look more new and are military type boots. I don't like the style, but the colour I like more. I want too make something a cross between this colour and the pervious tarnish style on the boots.



This last picture made me wonder if I should have wear and tear on my boots. Like how the soles of these boots are coming away from the base of the boot. Too add character too the boot, may have just one boot that was broke away. Once more these pictures are just inspiration and reference to be used for my final drawing.
