Salomon Forces “Tactical Boot”

This was a rendering I did on a whim.  Salomon Forces apparel brand was hosting a contest on a forum that I frequently visit.  It didn’t require a sketch or drawing, rather just what people wanted to see in a tactical shoe or boot.  It was very open ended.  I combined one of their trail runners, and a hiking boot.  They noticed the drawing and sent me a pair of some goretex trail runners, we still stay in correspondence to this day.  I’d say that it was a good investment in an hours worth of time

Sometimes I do these small projects/sketches on subjects I don’t know much about, which keeps me fresh in my day to day work.
