Description
FULLVIEW since no one wants to see a wee thumbnail.DOWNLOAD if you want to see it in all of its glory.
Hurrah! Another "tropical"-ish animal vector from me ;D. This is sort of the follow up piece, from the Tropical Frog deviation I worked on last year in my Visual Design class! I'm kind of proud though that I understand the program Illustrator more. The curves are curvier and less awkward on the Frog piece. (I'm going to eventually get around to fixing some of the curves in that piece later.) So the process this time was a lot more comfortable with the pen tool!
Although I did get sort of lazy at the end not adding all of the texture details on the parrot. I actually meant to submit this awhile ago but I have this paranoia about spamming your inboxes with deviations so I try not to submit too often ;D.

Aw why thank you! ;D Haha mastered? Yeah that's what I consider as well although when I look at great artists such as ~LimKis I shrink back into my corner of hiding my works in shame. Let's rejoice in our talent!

This is really good work! I have always struggled with illustrator, and take my hat off to anyone that uses it efficiently! And you certainly have, well done!

Thank you so much, Chris! And for the favorite. Haha so if I were an animal, mine would be a colorful parrot? That'd be pretty amazing. Maybe I could be taught interesting phrases as well!

I can't even imagine the phrases you would pick up. Imagine if you were a parrot living in a brothel?

Haha how would the parrot end up in the brothel in the first place?

I get like 0-2 deviation submissions a day, so go ahead and submit more stuff.
It look good, the pen tool is a pain though isn't it? Well, getting to learn it that is, after that it's pretty useful.

;D maybe this indicates to me that I'm watching too many people right now. I hate it when people submit stuff in bulk though. I end up deleting all of them except a few.
Ah thanks!

Well... You could always just go the the friends option and make sure that you don't receive new deviation notices from them.
I didn't think that Illustrator would be THAT hard to figure out. Then again, I've never used it, so I wouldn't know.

Haha well yeah then I'm paranoid though that they will one day make something amazing and I will totally miss it so I go with manually deleting it.
Well it's pretty much the same format as Photoshop as well as the other CS3 programs but ;D I'm still a n00b.

That's like not throwing anything away because you think you'll need it one day. Then again, you already told me you were a pack rat.
I guess it takes time to learn it even if you know photoshop.

Yeah
Haha surprisingly though my teacher is having me edit (ruin) this graphic that one of her other students made and I'm just trying to make it look like I know what I'm doing. Ugh for the same teacher though I have her class and we are basically stuck on this advertisement project and not able to do anything.

My room is pretty full of stuff... I'm not really a pack rat though, I just have a lot of stuff that I've acquired through the years and some of it is too cool to just throw out.
I hate advertising projects, they're boring.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah what are some of the really cool stuff you've acquired?
Yeah I agree especially since I don't particularly like my partner. Although don't get me wrong I don't dislike her either. It's just that she seems rather distracted with her other party and drug friends in the class instead of concentrating on the project. Plus none of us really know what we're doing in iMovie and the teacher never gave us a tutorial on it xD.

I have a cheep set of samurai swords, a bunch of boxes from stuff that I've bought (Like my tablet, a really old iPod box, the box that came with my phone, things like that.) I know that most of it can go, but for whatever reason I just kept it. Mainly to have a place to put stuff so I don't throw it everywhere.
I hate that kind of person... They were everywhere in my school... Couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting 2 or 3 of them.

Yeah that's true haha we always seem to end up somehow talking about 'those kind of people'

Good work mate! I'm hopeless in Illustrator so anybody who can figure out the bloody pen tool is a genius to me
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh thanks very much! Ah yeah Illustrator is a total beast at first. It took me like a whole class just to figure out how to make the curves go the right way. xD Just keep practicing. It'll definitely get easier over time!
