Description did this in two days.
I'm not much of a vector person so I wanted to really give up. Overall I like the mood of it. Very "Superman"-ish
Enjoy

This was inspired by a piece on deviantart Illustrating_The_Future. I couldn't find the link or user to the image because I ususally save them on my computer.

hehe, cool.
ps. if you saved the image, the image should be named something like name_of_work_By_blahblah.jpg or something... so you should be able to find who did it... but maybe not.

Thanks for the tip. Yeah I think DA actually does that to all the pictures now, but back like a year ago it didn't do so.

I'll keep it in mind!

come to vancouver canada and you shall learn haha. actually well give me a nights sleep since it's 2:30 AM right now

and I'll give you some pointers on vectoring. my gf (one in all the photos) taught me so I'll spread the joy.

Thanks for the pointers that you may give soon . I'll await patiently!

ALRIGHTY.

here it is: [link]
I created like a short explanation of how to do something like that as well as my approach to it. Take a look at it and see what you can do. Sorry it's short and not as pretty was rushed and need to work on other stuff.

Hope this helps!

Wow, it was way more than I expected! Thanks for taking the time out to do this... I'm going to see if I can try it out this weekend.

You should post this as a tutorial on deviant... I'm sure many others will love it!

Clean, fluid vector with great shading and great detail. Still looks very vector, but at the same time it also looks very much like a picture.

akb-316 In reply to SpanishJohnny [2004-09-03 18:02:55 +0000 UTC]

you CAN do some vector stuff it's somewhat like "digital" painting for me. instead of posterizing the original image like some people I sorta squint to look at the dififerent colors involved haha. it's stupid but works and if I devwatch your stuff I am envious of you also then.

SpanishJohnny In reply to akb-316 [2004-09-05 20:49:36 +0000 UTC]

...and hey, thanks for beeing envious on my stuff so serious iยดm realy proud if someone likes my stuff

have a nice week

sliveress [2004-09-03 06:16:27 +0000 UTC]

this is really nice! composition and colors are very pleasing though it has a "POP!" instead of a "WHOOSH!" feel (the second of which you would expect in flying). something about that offset shadow thing.

akb-316 In reply to sliveress [2004-09-03 18:00:00 +0000 UTC]

pop? haha. hmmm it's the white shadow thingy? anything you suggest? it mgiht look empty without it. where shall I move it?

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

sliveress In reply to akb-316 [2004-09-03 19:37:20 +0000 UTC]

i think i would try to link/incorporate the white shadow thing and the red band together somehow, so there's a clearer transition from one to another. what if the white shadow thing had a hint of pink? this is just a guess.
