    Default [A] Nemo's Dad Vector Art

    For a computer graphics project, I had to make a vector art. I chose to do this picture:



    Nemo and Marlin. <3 I'm half done. I chose to do Marlin first because he's larger and easy to do. I've just started Nemo.



    The colours are a little lighter because I printed out the file in school, than scanned it here at home. It actually darker, and the colours are closer to the actual picture.

    I think I did a good job, considering this was my first vector art. Comments?

    It's wonderful.

    I, for one, would have never been able to tell you were a beginner at this sort of thing.

    Excuse my ignorance, but could you possibly elaborate on what you mean by vector art?

    Thank you!

    I did this Vector Art on Adobe Illustrator. Basically, it's tracing shapes of a picture with the pen tool (which is harder than it sounds) and filling in it shape with a solid colour or gradient using the gradient tool or gradient mesh. I used gradient mesh, which is more difficult to use, but makes the colours nicer.

    Ah, okay. The confusion was whether it was using the above method, or whether it was a 3D render (ie. Lightwave, Maya, Bryce etc.)

    I know what you mean. I've been wanting to get a tablet for that exact reason.

    I like it, Jess. It makes me want to eat sushi. Oh, and I've seen some vector art before and it sucked. Yours is a lot better.

    hey thats pretty good ^_^
    You know you're obsessed with FF when...:laughing:
    1) You yell at the characters. i.e "Cloud, what the heck do you think you're doing?!"
    2) You praise the characters and/or tell them you love them. i.e "Oh yeah, Squall!"or"Nice save Tidus!"
    3)You start to dress/talk/act like the characters and/or pick up their habits i.e saying ...'whatever' half the time,randomly pointing your finger in the air when you talk to someone,ect
    4) You talk about the characters as if you know them. i.e "Oh yeah, I think Cloud and Tifa should get together."or" Seifer such a big jerk!”
    5) When you're playing FF and someone asks what you're doing you reply "saving the planet".
    6) You mistakenly refer pounds/dollars/euros as Gil afew times.
    7) When you grow up you want to be a -SeeD/ Shinra Soldier/ Galbadian Soldier/ member of SOLDIER/ Sorceress/ Choco Sage/ Garden Master/President of Shinra Inc./ Turk/ Scientist/Summoner/Mage/White Mage/Sephiroth
    8) You wondered (or wished) one (or more) of the following:
    --You knew did know (and /or)knew someone as cute as Squall/Cloud/Irvine/Sephiroth/Vincent/Tidus ect,Tifa/Aerith/Yuffie/Rikku/Yuna/Rinoa/Selphie ect
    -You could go to Garden instead of school
    -You could play Blitzball in PE
    -You could drive the Ragnarok/Highwind
    - Chocobos roamed the forests near your house.
    -You wish you could use magic/materia/GF's/summons/Materia
    -You had a limit break
    :riiight:

    Thanks! That was my first vector art, but I do computer graphics a lot and post them on my graphics LJ. I finished the part with Nemo a while ago, but I forgot to post it so...
