Shosian design guide 1.1
8 years ago
With people taking an interest in having their own Shosian (AKA shoe person, shoe girls, shoesies, ect) I figure I take some time and make a simple guide to those who have questions or don't know how they should look. This is my first time making a guide to an idea of mine as a open species, and I had to think about what is required and optional to what makes a Shosian, so feel free to ask any questions you have.
The first step is simple, but the hardest step. Find a shoe to base your Shosian on. There are billions of different shoes, boots, heels, and designs for those all over the web, so finding the shoe you want to be your Shosian will depend on what you want the most, and your imagination.
Now you got a shoe you want to use, where next? Well, remember this, Shosians are not just based on the shoe you pick, but are made from the shoe as well. From the leather, rubber, plastic, fabric, laces, and design. Every part of them is made from whatever the shoe is made out of. Here are a few examples.

When it comes to design, you can take some liberties but here are some guidelines.
1. Shoelace hair is optional. It can be grown out like hair, styled in any way like hair, and they're similar to dreadlocks so hairstyles are limitless.
2. The shoe they are based on HAS to be their feet. You can design them differently if you like just so long it's not a boot girl wearing stiletto heels. This is because these shoes ARE their FEET and attached to them.
3. Palms of the hands must have treads that match their shoes. The idea is they simulate paw pads like on anthro characters. You can design this however you want. just note that these are MUST.
4. Any part of their body that is "fleshy" will have treads on them that match their shoes (palms, inside the ears, tongues, genitals, ect.) However, liberties can be made if treads don't look like they work in those areas.
5. Shoe muzzles are optional, but you get brownie points if ya use them. ;P
6. Have fun with the design! You are free to design your Shosian however you like and free to explore their design.
And remember, no stealing ideas from others. The Shosians belong to me, so give credit when credit is due. :)
UPDATE: there are now three different types of muzzles for Shosians. normal muzzle and shoe muzzle http://www.furaffinity.net/view/24331537/ and the Shnoot design made by Fin http://www.furaffinity.net/view/25940916/ )

lacesshoesfingers in hopes that they accept... i'm almost positive they will... if not then I must seak out another artist to do this... I went to them first because he and I have very similar tastes and trust him in his designs...ALL HAIL OUR NEW SHOE BASED LIFE FORM OVERLORDS!yay shoes :DNow for males, it's kinda the same deal. I dunno how many would be high heels but I'm not going to argue gender and heels. X3
However, I will say this. Whatever they treads are, is also going to be on their dick.
Let that sink in for a bit because yes, this means males have textured cocks based on their shoe treads. As mentioned on rule 4 in the guidelines;
"4. Any part of their body that is "fleshy" will have treads on them that match their shoes (palms, inside the ears, tongues, genitals, ect.) this also means women have treaded vaginas as well.
Only thing I ask is you let folk know where you got the idea from.
