lol! I thought no one would've never noticed that. I don't like Kira that much
above the three characters.
Actually I couldn't find a scan of Kira so I wasn't able to added him in the
animation. Plus I reached the kb limit so I took Meer and Stellar out in the
animation. I feel quite guilty I did
Quote by gaara-no-shukakuNice
work with the vector, cool idea for the background. But the whole wallpaper
looks bad in term of composition. The lamp looks out-of-place, the girl looks a
total flat. The perspective kills the beauty.
Indeed.
Hiya gaara
thanks alot for the lovely comment
Im glad you liked it &
thanks for pointing my mistakes.....
well hope you have an enjoyable day
see you around
bye bye
Quote by gaara-no-shukakuYou
know you should comment on my latest vexel.
Friendlist? ^_^
I was just about to look at the latest vexel. Sorry never got the time! I have
to go out and eat dinner for a celebration that my grandmother came back from
China. I really loved it when I saw a full view of it, but didn't get the
chance to comment and fave it yet.
Of course we can be friends! I'm
not usually talkitive when it comes to talking to my friends though.
Quote by gaara-no-shukakuI don't
see any problem with the colouring. I think it's really well done.
Very safe outlining, bold lines and everything. Nice work with the eyes too.
Yea, like Entity said, there's a white space on a certain part of Lacus' hair.
Well, you actually have your own style for the background. Nice
job.
Thanks a lot for the comment on my Lacus & Meer vector ^_^. I fixed the
white spot. And I guess I do have my own style for the background, huh? Maybe
it's not all pretty and colourful, but I think it works. Plus it's the vector
that counts, and I'm glad you like it!

ahhh ok. gotcha. sorries, that was my misunderstanding. as for the message about
the thank you card, I didnt mean for you to take it off
I was just saying that some people do appreciate recieving cards.
and now I understand where youre coming from about the whole "fake"
and "real" thing. In that case, I wouldnt mind putting something about
this up at CL? If you are interested that is.
Actually, I was being mean by putting that in my UP, and I think I really should
take it off. And like you've said before, you objected the idea that cg never go
along with vectoring. I think you're right and I was wrong for not clarify it in
my campaign.
So, I've now clarified it in my UP, Cg never go along with vectoring when you
want to call it vector art.
Anyway, about putting this on CL, I think it's okay, but I'm not sure how people
will react with that.
okies, if you say so ^-^
As for putting it in CL..hm...I'm sure people will understand as long as its
clear that you are saying how using blurring is more of a CG technique rather
than a vector technique. I'll see what I can do about that
Hi there Gaara!
I just came by to say CONGRATULATIONS for being our new admin and I hope you
come up with more great ideas,the group has been very dead lately.I am really
sorry that I haven't been active in the group.I have been really caught up with
school lately,but I am really trying my best to stay active in the group.Also
thank you for making the new layout,it is very beautiful.Again thank you soo
much for your help *smiles*
Quote: Please, don't spam others'
guestbooks with just unnecessary "Thank you" card just because he/she
has faved/commented your works. It's so childish.
ermm...well i came to your page to check out this whole "vexel" thing,
and I saw that message...and just wanted to let you know that its definitely not
childish. I dont do it anymore, but I personally think it is polite to tell someone thank you if they
support your artwork. Thank you cards take time to make you know, so I really
dont understand what you think is so childish about that. It would be nice if
you said "dont spam MY guestbook" because there are others who appreciate it. Not trying to
sound mean or anything...I was just offended..a bit.
also, just want to let you know that there is no such thing as a fake vexel, because no one states the
"fake" vexel as a vexel anyways.
huuu~ im so sorry
the more I read the vexel thing, the more im getting pissed. you have to
understand that ppl have different techniques, so it would be nice if you could
please respect that! I dont think
combining CG techniques with vectors is a bad idea. Its a new technique that
many people have picked up, and it looks great. It can give the vector different
perspectives that a "real" vector cant give - like softness, distance,
etc.
so perhaps you could kindly ask people to stop calling their vectors with
blurring/smudging/etc a vector art, and call it a CG art instead. I understand
where youre coming from, but I just have to object to the whole idea of CG art
not going with vector art.

Since Mt doesn't have CG arts section, I think people have to put their fake
vectors in the vector arts category. I think, to be honest, if they want to have
vector, they must not use cg technique, coz it will not consider vector anymore.
But people keep saying, "wow! great vector!" instead "wow! nice
work with CG-ing!"
For softness/distance/whatever, you can have with vectoring, instead of cg-ing.
Because people want shortcut, they use the cg technique to get the soft effect,
while it's not the actual technique in vectoring.
Why I use the term "fake" and "real", to let people know
which one is true, which one is not. Of course, there's no such term as fake
vexels, because vexel is just vexel(vector arts) and nothing more. Hope you'll
understand. =)

Quote by gaara-no-shukakuI can
see the winner now. w00t!
You said you didn't use gradient, but the background is gradient lol.
Great vexel, nice details and I'm very impressed of your style. The left eye is
the perfect part. =) Though, if you can make the whiskers thinner, it would be
greater.
lol, thanks! ^^
nope, background is NOT a gradient I
promised myself not to use any gradients or blend modes (which I ended up
violating for the shadow ^^; ), so I actually duplicated the oval a whole bunch
of times, used the 'expand' function of PSP, and created the gradation by
changing each shape's colour ^^
lol, I think I kinda ran out of patience near the end ...
Quote by MapleRose
oh, so that's how you did it! (just read
your tut ^^ ) using blend modes.. I never thought of that.. I thought you just
eyedrop the colours and adjust them accordingly ^^;
Yeah, I used the eyedroping technique on my first try, but then after reading
some tutorials, I realized it's easier with that technique. Did you eyedrop on
your Tyger?
How long? Too long .. I think I'm a bit sick of vectoring right now
Letsee, I think I started Feb 2nd (that's what my pspimage file says it was
created). Worked on it a bit every day for a while, then gave up in the middle
of Feb 'cause I was sick of it... went back to it when I realised the deadline's
coming up like 2 weeks ago ^^; and vectored like crazy for the past few days ^^;
... so I guess maybe 3-4 weeks with like 2-3 hours each day? I dunno, it felt
that long to me ^^;
yup, it's all eye-dropped... and it's really annoying
I ran out of names for my shapes and sometimes it's utterly confusing which
layer is on top of which ^^;

Quote: Anyway, wanna submit your
Tyger to my campaign, lol?
Wow! I'm quite confused! Though the more if I keep rereading this the more I'll
understand little by little. So I'll see if there's any vector that I can
submit.
I don't really see that many anime vexels though, 'cause it's usually
cellshaded, and I don't see many people attempt to vexel soft-cellshading
stuff... guess it's easier with blur/smudge ^^; More of the vexels are from
photographs (there's some AMAZING ones on devART).
merged: 03-30-2007 ~ 07:38am PlanetES: Lost in Space by
Tama-Neko Dunno if this qualifies as a 'vexel', but it's definately as
vector, 'cause she used gradient meshes instead of brushes to get the shading.
Quote by gaara-no-shukakuThe
vector is typical, nothing special. OMG, the eyes are the only terrible part. If
you don't know yet, CG/blur-ing never make friend with
vector.
I prefer quantity over quality. And besides, I make my vectors for members to
use in wallpapers. Actually I do know, and if you don't know yourself, some of
your best works don't even show the eyes. So don't criticize on my eyes, please.
Quote by gaara-no-shukakuNice
work. And nice vector too. Great use of texture. I can see that you tried to
focus on the girl by blurring the background, but there are parts, like on the
bottom of the fence looks a tad sharper. But I've to say this wall will look
better if you don't use the blur.
Hi there! ^_^
Thanks a lot for the nice comment! ^_^
Well i've made it blur, but yeh you're right, maybe to much blur and don't looks
to nice but i'll do better next time!
Well thanks for the comment! ^^
Quote by gaara-no-shukakuHey,
can you teach me on extracting scans with the pentool and mask technique? I got
confused with those tutorials for PS users. Before this, I only used the
selection tool.
Okay. First of all, trace the outside of your scan (like step one of my outlined
vector tutorial), so you end up with a silhouette of the part you wanna extract.
Make sure that you're careful to trace it as closely as possible. Also, make
sure that the foreground colour of the shape is transparent (ie no stroke), and
the background colour is a solid colour (black works).
Then select your shape, and go to Selections-> From vector object, and it'll
select your shape for you. Then go to Layers-> New Mask Layer -> Show
Selection, and it'll create a mask around the vector shape (a group with a mask
layer, and the vector layer underneath. You can place the scan layer in that
same group, and turn off the vector layer, and there you go, you've extracted
the scan!
There may be some white edges and stuff depending on how careful you were when
you were tracing with the pen tool. So you can go back to the mask and adjust it
if you want, by using black (hide) and white (show), or you can adjust the
vector shape, and redo the mask until you're satisfied.
In regards to your comment on my wallpaper, "Sun God":
As I said in my description, I didn't make the outline by coloring or vectoring.
I used Color Select. And old was of extracting B/W images. Thanks for your
consideration about me joining the group however I don't vector very much and
most likely wont be joining. Also I'm not on MT that often.
Hi

Yo!
I'm almost done mine! ^____^ Here's my old (bad) one: Rie Tanaka by MapleRose
btw, you might wanna give some examples of real vexels vs 'fake' vexels. There's actually a couple of nice ones here on MT: 666 by Dioma , Azalean's Blossom by ryannzha , Ayumi Vexel by ShiXon , Vector Artwork by midinette
I'm not sure if the person used gradients or brushes in this one.. some parts of it look like brushes, so it could be an example of a 'fake' vexel: Ayumi Hamasaki by Rinkin ; fake one: Yui_Illusion ~ vector mode by Agiru ; [Se7en] by toxictea23 can't tell.
