Thanks guys.
I just made another deviation
Who would you like to see me draw next Daisy or Pauline?
The deviations I submitted right now and yesterday were the first sketches I've done in a long time. I realized that I need to practice drawing more female characters, clothing, footwear and feet.
I guess this is a result of me spending my time only drawing generic action heroes, villains, monsters and robots as a kid.

I'd say Pauline for more variety since she's not a princess.
Posted by Mandrake on 10-31-2013 at20:51:
You're on a role, Omega. Keep it up and you'll get better. I love both of the pics but I already see a big improvement between your first and second pictures.

Here's my attempt at Pauline
She was the hardest to draw since she has the least official artwork out of all the female characters from the Mario franchise. I hope she's in more games in the future.

"Dudley-do-Wrong"
After the T.U.F.F. team beats up Miss Petropolis, one of her black pumps is missing. Later at the very end of the cartoon we see her cutting a ribbon on the re-opened T.U.F.F. building and she still has a pump on one foot which is about the only part of her that isn't in a cast (nomally I don't count people in cases as being single shoe candidates, but since the cast she has on has toes, it probably does in this case.) |
Another interesting note in one of the new episodes yesterday
In the segment "Bad Eggs" there is a bit near the end where Kitty is dressed as a baby, and is barefoot. While this is not really a shoe loss, one can note that the animators drew her feet much smaller and more human than they normally do (and I mean
seriously human, they look like human feet in opaque hose). This is probably simply the result of a new animation staff no knowing Kitty's feet are in fact more or less the same size as Dudley's when she isn't wearing her boots, but you never know

Interesting. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being renamed or merged with the already-existing Clothing Damage trope, though.
Posted by Nopperabo on 11-05-2013 at13:57:
Most likely it will, especially since the creator says in the opening that the item of clothing lost does not necessarily have to be a shoe to count in his definition of the trope, and half the examples there already don't. Also I'm not sure the Geronimo Stilton example counts. I found a free stream of the episode, and it looks like the clue has to do with Geroniomo simply realize the woman has struggles by the marks left by her boots, she doesn't lose either of them. At least I think that's what he says. The only free stream I could find was in Russian, which I don't speak. Linking below in case Nigel shows up and feels like translating and confirming.

LoL. They'd never get away with those pranks in the USA. Too many lawsuits.

Oddly, Fran makes a mistake here. As the girls black shoe has no strap, it is technically a skimmer, not a Mary Jane.)

Hi, Nopperabo!
Could You explain me these names of differents types of shoes? I don't know them and sometimesit is difficuly to me to understand.

This would actually make a good topic. I was chatting with someone the other day who didn't know the difference between a loafer and a moccasin, and I myself sometimes forget the difference between a pump and a heel (if there actually is a difference).

I often get mixed up myself with difference names for the same or similar type of shoe, it could be because we are from different parts of the world.

In the Russian language there is no word for slingback.

Well, trying to differentiate EVERYTHING would be a little hard (after all there are hundreds of types of shoes in the world) but I can try and cover the ones I have mentioned so far, and update as things come up
In the US "mary jane" is a term for what one might think of as the standard old time girls shoe, the kind with a (usually single strap) that goes over the instep). The shoe on my avatar character (if you can see it) is a Mary Jane. to secure the shoe to the foot. While this style is extremely ancient (there are examples going back to the middle ages) the name comes from a character in the Buster Brown comic strip who wore this style, as did buster brown himself (they were orignally considered a unisex shoe style and even today there are places in the world where boys wearing them is not entierly unsual (techically they are REQUIRED for full formal dress for young boys say, a ringbearer at a formal wedding.)) the name is techically still trademarked (which is why I keep capitalizing it.) I was merely pointing out that the shoe the girl was wearing in the clip had no strap, so it was tecnically not a mary jane.
Saddle shoes are a type of oxford, which is a leather shoe with laces and a rounded toe (if the toe is more pointed, it becomes a wingtip) a saddle shoe differs from a standard oxford primarily in having an additional "saddle" of extra leather sown over the middle of the shoe (as well as a smaller piece sown over the seam in the back). This saddle can be the same color as the rest of the shoe but is usally a different one. Most commonly the base shoe is white and the saddle is black, brown or blue. This style existed since at least the 1920's but is most closely associated with the 1950's. being a popular school shoe at the time.
There is a similar type of shoe called a spectator that is sort of a "reverse" saddle shoe (though a pump with the same pattern is also called a spectator, where the addional added leather pieces are over the toe and back ,not the middle.
Technically loafers ARE considered a moccasin in the same way saddle shoes are considered oxfords (and tecnically mary janes are classified as sandals, since they use a strap to be secured. Though most people only use the word sandal to describe shoes that are all straps and have open toes, so by those standards Mary Janes would not count). If there is a difference now, it's probably that loafers tend to be stiffer and have a harder sole.
Similarly, pumps are a subset of heels. Tecnially any shoes that have a raised hell are heels (though used on its own, heels almost invariably means high heeled shoes. "pumps" is a little more ambiguos. Some people use it as a synonym for heels, and make it apply to all heeled shoes. Others are more restrictive and classify a pump as being a shoe (usually high heeled, but not neccecarily) which has NO securing devices (straps, laces etc.) and relys soley on tightness to keep it on the foot.
That's the best I can do for now. I suggest you simpy go on a seach engine, flip over to the image seach, put any terms you dont understand in, and then look at the pictures that come up. They should do a far better job of showing you the differences than my explanations ever could.

What a great explanation thanks for clearing that up, well sort of Ha Ha.
I live in the UK so what are commonly known as pumps in the US are called court shoes here but they are mainly high heels, quite often with a stiletto heel.
