Vector ~ Ichigo Mashimaro by Senseito Sakura
Of all things... not even I thought I'd get around to doing one.. a freakin vector..
She has a cute face, and I had to vector it - if anything... it was my first vector.. and I thought it shouldn't be too hard...
I got used to Layering (more), Clipping Masks (more), and, most critically, the Pen Tool.
The Source was my Render folder, but that came from a Render @ PlanetRenders, it was a clean source, but in detail it had pixellation, this vector has none, obviously, and benefits from lossless scaling, which is win.
Overall, it took me over 10~ Hours over 3 Days. (Day 1 - 2.5hrs) (Day 2 - 2.5~hrs) (Day 3 - 5~Hours [it was 2:23am when I was satisfied - you know what I'm like *fiddlefiddlefiddle*])
I feel a sense of accomplishment somewhat, and I think I done pretty good.
There is a total of around 90 Layers, Believe it or not... keep in mind I tried my best to simulate the brushed brown-eye effect - that took 9 layers per eye, 18 in itself, that's 72 for the whole rest of the vector.
^ These are the Groups I used - it built up over time, nice and organized -- lol.
I like to be quite precise, little things irritate me badly.. lol.
Heres the link to the Vector-Induced Image Blowup of 1600x1271 that looks great - http://i30.tinypic.com/30tg9hy.png
Who knows when I'll do a Vector...... at least I can say I've done one ;p
Anyways...
... I'd like to thank SkyDX
