Just wanted your opinions on my second attempt at vectoring, my first completed one.

Here's the original:



And here's my vectored version, with a few minor changes.

Without smart blur:


With smart blur:


Let me know if you guys have any tips or suggestions for improving this. Feel free to share any of your techniques as well. happy.gif

I think you should add some more blue around the eyes...it's either the contrast on this monitor is too high or I have bad eyes happy.gif

I decided not to add so much blue around the eye as in the original picture because it looks kinda odd. I think the subtle hint of blue looks better, at least for the vector.

I made some serious improvements with the hands cuz they were really bugging me. I added even more layers to create more depth and to make it look less jagged.

I also added a little more detail for the hair.

I'm not sure if it's better with or without a blur. Give me your input on this. I would really like to perfect this piece.

Thanks for the comments guys. I appreciate it. Yeah, it was pretty time consuming but my boss is currently on vacation so I have the free time. happy.gif

Eh, just don't really have time anymore to submit any new skins or fullfill my mod duties. I didn't want to be in inactive mod so yeah, I just demodded myself. Eh, I might be back. Who knows.

eh yeah. i've been told that it doens't really look like a vector when i blur it so i probably won't use the blurred one. i decided not to turn it to a skin tho. the vector is just to near and dear to my heart.
