Description HA! I actually finished something, in your face, life! I'm honestly surprised I managed to follow through with it...

Anyway I don't know what else to say...

I'm envious of you, for me coming up with interesting poses (and ideas in general) is the hardest part, but you always do it so well!

Wow! this is a vector?!

Nice color pallete - you can feel the mood from the colors.
The fog effect was nicely done - there is really a feeling of depth in this piece. I like the shading of the eyes - it's somehow very special.

The mouth is interesting - I'm not sure if she is grumpy since she always is, or whether she is really sad (I'll go for the grumpy)

Yeah, I find that fog is often a good way to make the BG more subdued, so it doesn't distract from the main picture. And grumpy faces are more interesting ^^

Hi,
I really like your work, especially this latest stuff with the subtle shadings etc. As a beginner vector artist myself im curious....if you dont mind me asking what techniques/ programs are u using to make wonderful pictures like this. R u using illustrator with meshes at all? or just lots of vector layers of color and shading. i cant work out how you get such good gradients of tone.
If you care to share i would love it
Any how i love your work...keep it up

MaximK In reply to incognitoarts [2007-11-07 21:37:17 +0000 UTC]

Hello,
Thanks ^__^
I use Corel Draw 10, I never tried the illustrator, but I suspect it's similar (at least that's what people say) so in theory Illustrator should be capable of making same pictures. I don't know what "meshes" or "vector layers" are, I know what layers are in general, but I use them to separate large scale things, like background and some such... For gradients I use a large number of objects (maybe they are called vector layers in Illustrator, I don't know), I draw them crudely in roughly a shape I want the gradient in but if there is a lot of them overlapping the final results tends to look pretty good.

Cool thanks, i think i know what you mean....Must take you a long time then to build up the colors then to make it looks so good.... My brain is exploding even trying to fathom making a picture that complex....

Thanks, I like rainy pictures, I feel they are, somehow more interesting then my regular fare ^__^ But rain does give more detail and texture, I guess, plus it provides sort of a "plot" to the picture

ItΒ΄s very well drawn, I always wanted to ask about your current drawing style, where did you get the idea?, or how did you get inspired to use that style, it looks a bit like manga style, but itΒ΄s mostly very...realistic!!

Well, that's sort of how I got it. I tried to use anime style, but then I often attempted to draw real life objects (such as clothes mostly)
