[A] Vector Art

[Miriel]

I've been a huge fan of vector art for years. But I hardly have the patience to actually create a vector image of my own. So here's my first and only completed piece of vector art.

God I hate vectors.

You can tell I got lazy around the bangs and the nose, but my hand started twitching after using the pen tool for so long and so I took a few shortcuts.

I've been using Photoshop for bitmap graphics for about 5 years, but am a complete noob when it comes to vectors. I keep telling myself I will sit down and learn Illustrator but I never do. :tongue:

Nice work.

<3 vector graphics.

Very nice work there.

Nice work.

I've tried working with vectors in Illustrator, but I actually like Photoshop better. Just preference I guess.

Wow that's really nice. I wish I had the ability and patience to learn these new fangled gadgets. Good stuff ^_^

I love vector art!

Although I do mine in Illustrator. I really like what you did with the background, I always lack ideas when trying to spruce up my vectors...it's very good. I know what you mean about needing patience though, I rarely have enough to do these anymore xD

70 layers, 2 hours, photoshop.

This one went by a lot quicker. I'm getting the hang of this. :)

Oh wow! Rock on Miriel! ^_^

[Calliope]

That's extremely awesome stuff :D

I wish I knew how to make things do things.

[Xander]

Ahhh. That one is awesome. *dies*

Those are great! I've had experience with vector art and I know that it's difficult.

The first one is too jaggedy. :( You should use the pen tool for all of it for smoother edges instead of shortcuts.

But the second Lulu one is lovely. :) You got all the shades of light and dark in. Great job. ;D

>>> In the first one, her skin color doesnt match the color of her face.

I dont understand exactly what vector art is but that rendering of lulu is really awsome.


Ahhh. That one is awesome. *dies*

Oh no; (I hate it when this happens) Somebody get a medic for Xander.. Geez, post a good picture and people start dropping like flies... its like a 1st person shooter in here..

There was no point to that. Have a nice day everybody. :D

Lulu has a lantern hanging off her head? I never noticed that.
