Quote by gaara-no-shukakuI was
thinking if there is something new highlighted today, and yeah, I found one.
Perfect choice of scan to be vectored, very bright colour scheme which I think
makes this stand out. Great use of thin and bold lines, plus subtle textures,
that absolutely turned the scan into such professional-looking vector. Nice
work, and of course, congrats on the highlighted. Something worth fullviewing.
thx for the awesome comment
u know i i dint think about the highlight when i chose it, i just thought that i
have to find a beautiful scan for my little sis saki-chan

Quote by saikusaReading Mai-Chan's GB is
the complete opposite to reading BotChii's old GuestBook. It's... nice!
Seems like BotChii had her own guestbook too. Another history is revealed! (at least
to me, lol)
Yup yup... Our beloved BotChii used to have a
userpage with GuestBook just like everyone else.
Naturally people went their to vent their anger & let off steam at the evil
& nasty BotChii who had deleted their wallpapers.
Personally, I found it hysterical to go their & read the vile & vitriol
people would release at a non-existent person *tee* *hee*

Quote by gaara-no-shukakuSo,
BotChii really had her guestbook.. Too bad people don't like her, and now,
Mai-chan gets more love than her(even they know it's another non-existent person
).
Talking about this Bot things, how about bot-freya? What was her job?
Yup yup! Mai-Chan's the baby sister & BotFreya is the
older sister who diligently works behind the scenes
Actually Freya was made as a test subject. If you do something to BotFreya (like
ban or restrict her) and then log in to Freya and see what effects it has.
Helpful, but a lot less public than Mai-Chan or BotChii. It's why not a lot of
people knew about BotFreya until Mai-Chan spilled the beans (like any good
little sister would do... grass on their older brothers & sisters )
Quote by gaara-no-shukakuWooot,
first entry! ^.^
Love the shading, very detailed and the colour is good(though abit saturated on
the left side). Yeah, her eyes look not good. You should never use pure white
for the base of the eyes, I usually use darker base colour (for example here,
maybe alil brownish tone). I wish you vexel her hair as well though... But
overall, really good vexel from you. =)
thank you
i used a light blue colour for the base of her eyes BUT for the scary/dark
effect i used brightness/contrast so the eyes came out white and the skin is
saturated
idk, i love it the way it is...
and for the hair.... u just didnt understand the trick
anyway thxc for commenting
Quote by gaara-no-shukakuI know
the defintion is rather complicated, but I'm afraid to jump on conclusion on
what vexel really is. So, it's quite safer to put Wiki's definition. Should I
put my own definition? =S And I feel like putting your definition in the
website, is that okay?
Sure. Yeah, different people have
different definitions of vexel... My definition there is sort of based on
vexels.net's definition in that it's more of a style than a technique (ie it
doesn't matter how it's created), 'cept I kinda enforced that it has to consist
of only vector techniques (ie pen tool only). But if you ask deviantart, vexel =
vector + raster. ie, by their definition, it's something that looks like it's
created with the pen tool, but using some or all raster techniques such as
paintbucket, blurring, brushes etc (I read some vexel tutorials on devART that
directly uses raster functions like the lasso tool and paint bucket instead of
pen tool). In fact, that's how devART distinguishes between the two: vector = no
raster, vexel = raster allowed. (So I guess my definition there would be
considered 'vectors' rather than 'vexels' by devART). It's up to you what you
want to enforce.
I saw ppl asking for tutorials, so I found some at devART (that only uses pen
tool):
- General/skin,
for PS
- Eyes
(the person uses PSP7, but the tutorial is pretty general)
- Lips
(again, uses PSP7, but can be applied to any program with pen tool)
- General
vexelling, uses same technique as your skin tutorial, so it's up to you
whether you want to include it. But it could tell people that vexelling doesn't
have to be done with just people
- Hair,
kinda simple, dunno how helpful it'd be.
I really wish there was a tut on how to vexel anime (ie, put more layers of
shading and stuff, just to tell people that it doesn't have to be from
photographs...)

Eheh, I guess that's the thing with not putting them up in order (hey, it looks
more interesting that way), but the oldest is "Travellers", then
"Karma Star", then "Rain Maker", then "Spread Your
Wings", then "refreshingly soft", then "smile for me
everyone", then "cool of summer" then "breakaway".
phew. if it's easier for you, you can put them in some sort of order. I just try
to remember, and then look at the messages if I'm not sure. Or you can put some
sort of note somewhere in the code or something
Whoa, you can
remember all that? I like if there're notes somewhere in the code.
Lol, well I did have to look back at the older messages to see them. I suppose
you could either: put HTML comments with <!-- comment --> beside the
thumbnail, or tack a note in the alt tag (since you won't see it unless the
thumbs don't show anyway). Uh, I guess you can... put in the date that it went
up, so you don't have to shuffle everything every time.
Quote by gaara-no-shukakuI would
say the textured version looks better, cause it gives a nice depth to the wall,
compared to the soft one. But that's a matter of preference.
Very nicely vectored(or I presume vexel?). Did you vector the background as
well? Cause it looks like it.
Indeed the birds are weird, but I don't mind actually. =)
Hello!
Thank you very much for the comment!
Yeah, I vectored the background too(from a pic I found on google ).
Hmmm...I think the birds need a little more details maybe...I think that's why
they look weird
Thank you anyway! ^^
Bye!
Quote by gaara-no-shukakuw00t,

lazy..
Fine... You don't have to PM her, I'll put it in, since I'll probably be putting
together the draft anyway....

Quote by gaara-no-shukakuWhat if
I don't want to put deadline? I mean, the project will be like
"forever"?
lol, sure. I've sorta started a vexel already anyway (of a person though, is
your project gonna focus on animes only?)
merged: 10-27-2007 ~ 03:56am
so, is your project ready to go yet? ie can it be advertised in the next issue
of MTM? (it's scheduled to hit MT in 5 days)
Anyway, I'm with the idea with rocks, or ruins and sky. As for the colour
scheme, I would use natural colors like green, slight blue and brown(for the
rock).
hi gaara! thanks for comment and the fave! i text i added because without it,
the background seemed a bit plain [and secretly i was waiting for someone to
notice ] thank you again!
Quote by gaara-no-shukakuYeah,
her face is abit strange. Might try
changing the shades I guess.
I like the textures, although it looks weird for her skin. I would suggest for
the background only. But overall, clean vector.
well ur not the first one to say that her face is odd but IT IS LIKE THAT in the
scan!
thx for the comm anyway
hi gaara! i took your advice on the lips. i added a bit more too, but not too
much. only because it would start to look like the polarized version i used a
guide. thanks for the comment and the invitation to vectory. i'd like to
join, but i'm afriad i wont be as active due to school. but i
will someday! thanks!
Quote by gaara-no-shukakuIndeed,
you're pretty, Lacus!
Clever choice on the scan, she looks so elegant and gentle. Though I agree with
Moonescape on the shading of her hair, but at the same time, I like the how the
lines look, not too thin like so many vector these days. Anyway, this can be turned into a beautiful wallpaper.
Quote: for cell-shading skills I
have none DX
How about your painting skill? :S
I like dynamic lines too, because it gives additional shading (I need to learn
how to do that properly in my own drawings DX ). I like how RGB does the lines,
it's almost like a sketch...
Painting skills I think I'm good with. But I can't cell-shade DX .. that's why I
use airbrush/painting/soft shading in all my doujinshi...
merged: 10-14-2007 ~ 02:33am
oh yeah, I've got no ideas for a wallpaper... do you?
Quote by gaara-no-shukakuNice
work on the vector, I especially like how the gradients turned out. Although I'm
not sure if the background is a good one, but it looks simple in a good way.
Yeah I'm not so confident about the background myself
But I'm really glad you liked my vector, I appreciate your comment, cya around!
Yeah, I think her pose is one the things that made me so attracted to her.
Nope, I didn't sketch them. I was going to, but in the end I just kinda jumped right in with the pen tool, neatening and tweaking the design as I went.
