# About me
I started vectoring pics in the end of 2008 with Photoshop but after few tries I gave up on it. Fortunately I found Incscape and began vectoring pics with it in the beginning of 2009. Since I managed to finish my first vector(Kyoka) I have been hanging at 4chan /w/ (wallpapers/anime) with nickname Jaaba. I mainly vector pics from series I'm currently watching or I have just finished but I also vector requests I mainly get from /w/.I recently wrote tutorial for inkscape about vectoring anime. Here are 2 download links:
Megaupload:www.megaupload.com/?d=N9JX8KHP
Rapidshare:rapidshare.com/files/270555464…
I also hosted online version to google.sites!
sites.google.com/site/jjaaba/h…
Ask me in msn(ropedy@hotmail.com) if you want following things:
1) request pic to vector
-Keep them somehow simple and chaste please :)
-I cant guarantee I vector all requests.
2) transparent versions of my vectors.
3) wallpaper with other resolution I have posted it here.
-Changing aspect ratio is probably not so easy for some of my vectors, but doable for majority.
4) ask about how I have done stuff in my pics
-I'm not any kind of Inkscape/Photoshop-guru since vectoring is quite simple process and that is pretty much all what I have been doing. However there is some trick used on some of my pics. For Inkscape screencasts I recommend this site: screencasters.heathenx.org/
I'd be glad to help you :)
Thanks for favorites, comments and watches. I dont want send messages to say this since someone can expire it disturbing or something. I just say it here: Thanks!

Ropedy thanks for the Inkscape vectoring tutorial dude i finally made some vectors out of it, by the way i made some easier way on doing the line art by setting the thickness of the line first to 3 or 4 or 6 as i see fit, then use this technique - [link]

I very much liked your tutorial and i think it's incredibly useful, but in the meantime i was using another technique, that is, stroking with the pencil and then converting in shapes the strokes-do you have ideas on how to convert the method to make it similar to your tutorial?

I'm not sure if I understood your technique right but if I did that's what I was doing when I started vectoring. It is faster and easier way to do the lines but result it gives is kinda dull. Of course this is only my option.
I would try to convert these methods to another since they both are so simple that trying to do combinations would just lead to more complicated method.

I need to thank you for the vectoring tutorial. I thought it was something impossible to do, but thanks to you proved just to be time consuming and difficult Soon I will finish my first vector and it wouldn't have happened without you! Domo arigato ^^

En kehtaa ruveta kehumaan erikseen kaikkia töitäsi.
Mielestäni ne ovat kauniin selkeitä. (Kuten vektorikuvat yleensä) Spottasin moniakin hyviä taustakuvia galleriastasi. Ehdottomasti seuraan jatkossakin uusia kuvia joita tulet tänne lisäämään

I'm using my hotmail account just for MSN so it would be totally useless trying to send e-mail there. And actually I rarely use MSN either
I haven't really had time to do any vectors lately. I think this is actually first direct vectoring request I receive so I'm at least gonna try it though those eyes worries me a bit.
ETA:2-3 days (I'll try to get it done withing the weekend)

I has to apologize the slow progress on the vector. I couldn't get it done within the weekend I tried, and the last week was pretty busy for me in a school. Though the biggest reason for this is just low intrest of getting it done.
I have been doing it little by little and it's getting ready pretty soon. I just have to find motivation to do the shading and the eyes.
I won't give a new ETA so I don't feel like failing again but it should get ready soon

I'm sorry, could you please approve the gallery addition request again?
The group was closed because of a failure to communicate with the dA staff. That is, something that was thought to be withdrawn was clearly not withdrawn.
I'm so, so, so very sorry. orz
