cadburys_egg Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 First of all, boxers rule. Cutest dogs evar, I have one of my own. This, however, is not it. Origimanal: (Get it? Animal and original? Im so witty.) After much butchery: ::UPDATE:: After taking in some CC and comments, here is where I got to. I used only the Pen tool, Brush tool and Eyedropper tool. Here's where I plead for mercy, I mean C/C: First vector, i've always wanted to try it. I read a few tuts beforehand, all saying the same thing but I think the technique speaks for itself really. No I did not do the lazy vector. (Filter -> Artistic -> Cutout) And yes the eyes are freaky. That's what I really need to improve on. All I ask is that you are fully honest. Don't try and give me an ego boost with "9/10 awesome for first", be honest. I'm looking for helpful tips towards a better vector. Thanks and "c/c plox".

imhomer Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Lmao freaky eyes :lol: I think the technique is good but the original picture has odd lighting. and yes, there eyes are freaky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alduron Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Overall it is not bad, you just need to focus more on the details as you said yourself the eyes, muzzle etc. Pick out the folds and lines that make the eye or mouth what they are and be sure to vector them into your image. ~Alduron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imhomer Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 (but i'm too simplistic, so what would i know :notalk: ) Dude drop it now, gudges won't get anywhere. Cad gave you an opinion you asked for and you're holding against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megadedhed Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I think it looks good except for the eyes mabye need a little work (but i'm too simplistic, so what would i know :notalk: ) dude.. i just lost respect for you after reading that... someone who doesnt like your sigand also gives you constructive critcism on WHY. and you go to his thread and take it personally.... sigh... how long does it take to get the Graphics unlimited validation email to come? on topic: honestly it just looks ok, i honestly think it would look better with more detail though, by the way he was vectored, the shine looks more like somne type of deformation Sigs made by Runemetsa, Nuzza, Dark_Shadow, Kuroi and Me.liquid blobs attacking eachother American Anime...

Black_Flat Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 beautifully done, anyone thats done a vector before (before starting one i didnt fully apreciate how much work goes into doing one) can really apriciate how much hard work you've put into it. CC would have to be, dont be afraid to put some black in there, extreame contrast is what ive always believed made vectors so great. Personally i love it, so dont go kicking yourself about it.

Metroid Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Very nice, But it could use more depth to show detail Such as a little black/darker colors, and as everyone has said, the eyes are a bit.. off? Protect the Light... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeeBoab Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 too much of the left side of his face is the same colour, if u fixed that it might make it look a tad better. My photobucket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm working from that photo, I can't help the lighting from it. :? Check what happens when I remove my background colour: Just shows that I suck at brushing close together with a mouse. :-$ Looks like a nice mosaic effect though.

cadburys_egg Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 After taking in to account comments and CC, here is an updated version: Still not too sure about the eyes, I added a slight shadow and shine to them. Any further CC or comments anyone? :mrgreen: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metroid Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Much better, not much to say except to fix the left eye a bit, looks almost the same. Protect the Light... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
