Description My friend, Ellen, wanted me to do a vector of her, and this is the image she gave me. I was really happy with how it turned out, but it did take forever, and clothing is pretty easy. I was glad that the background turned out how I wanted it too. The logo took a while too, like 3/4 hours. Eek. Total time is hmm maybe 15hrs over a week.

Edit: Gave it a thicker border. It need the balance since she is cut off at the neck and thighs. Alot more pleasant I think.

Comments and favorites appreciated!
Must full view!

I hope you like it!

xeen-dc In reply to expansiondesign [2005-07-09 14:18:00 +0000 UTC]

yeah whatever, I wanted to say that the shirt looks quite "real". Doesn't matter whether it's a shape, a vector if it's god himself, it jsut looks realsitic, ok
so, taht's what I thought at first.
