This is my first vector thing of a guitar. It's a custom Fender Stratocaster that one of my friends had built for himself. I don't have any pictures of the original because I don't take pictures of his shit, but this should be good enough.
I'll admit that I got a bit lazy toward the end and copy/pasted parts of the bridge and the and output jack, and copy/pasted the one knob I made. Some of the edges are a bit f**ked up beyond recognition, but It's late, and I'm tired. Edit: If you know about guitars, it's the saddles in the bridge I copy/pasted. Those are a bitch to make. |

I improved on the majority of the edges, fixed the bridge pickup, and completely redid the output jack, so now all that was copy/paste is the saddles on the bridge.
Picture in OP. |

Also, what would this be called? Was I right calling it a vector?

Hey, that's pretty spiffy! It really doesn't look as bad as you seem to think it does.
About the vector/vexel thing, it kind of depends on what program you made it in. Yes, Photoshop has vector output files, but Illustrator is, usually, 100% vector. Basically, if you can zoom in and things don't look pixelated, that means it's vector. If it is pixelated, that means it's bitmap, not vector. |

It'd probably be a vexel then. Because you copied/pasted, that pretty much made it "loose" the vector quality.
But, honestly, the term doesn't really matter these days so I really wouldn't worry about it. :) |
