Ohh now I notice it too. It looks awkward I guess. It's still a great vector!

somebody should do one on Violette! i wish i was as pretty as her. but no0o0 im not asian  not fair.

there have been many vectors done on Claudia.

[Heathasm]

thanks every one ^_^ im aware the eyes need a little work, and about the eyebrow now, lol. i'll have to touch that up before i put it on my site

[secretXoshadow]

the eyebrows don't look right... but otherwise AWESOME job!

[Rachel]

^why the hell did you bring this topic back? and the eyebrows look fine, do you even know what elba looks like?

[ItzOnlySydney]

^agreed.

why does the vector have gapped-teeth though?? o.O

[swe3ttemptasian]

look at that!!!!! omg, looks just like elba!

[xlaydee_v]

WOW.

--btw, the left eyebrow looks like it's in the wrong place. but don't listen to me, casue it's great.

[seriouslynikki]

Oh my goodness gracious!!! That is soooo awsome!!! It really looks like her! I love the lips and the hair and the face. Very very very cool!!!

[*AngelicEyz00*]

[XaZnX07]

you did a relaly good job on that nice!

.:Tony:.

[racoons > you]

you're TOO talented.

*kicks*

pssh... seriously... its very very good

[Advice Abby]

i see some glitches. and i dont really like the way you use gradient mesh... i usually like gradient meshes, but somethings off about the way you do it. the eyelashes annoy me as well.

but its better than most vectors i've seen on cb, so i'll give you credit for that.

p.s. decided to post the day as abby.

[xXYouMeBedNowXx]

*dies with a smile on his face*

[*mona lisa*]

Oh no..this topic old..why bring it back?!!?

[xXYouMeBedNowXx]

because people still find it insanely good?

[KELLYYY]

Omg. That looks awesome. Really awesome. Too awesome. Omg. You're so damn talented.

[loljuliana]

I LOVE iT. The hair is amazing

[pinayprincess]

that. is. so. awesome.
i love it. great detail.

word lol

[pAtRiCk_sTar]

The hair is awesome It looks great!

[smrkangl]

[KERP1UNK]

did you mean to do that? :P

this is reallyyy good. i like how you made everything look like gold. very creative.

[innovation]

wow awesome.

[Heathasm]

well since you guys brough this back up i decided to post the updated version i had finished after this topic went off the front page XD
and i thought this was one of my better mesh vectors, advice abby person :P

[sandy_lumpy_shor...]

wow. its so real looking. omg she looks so pretty

[sharerol]

Wow, looks pretty awesome to me! Great job!

[BlissfulIgnoranc...]

wow thats amazing..good job

[KissMe2408]

omg...that is sick. Seriously, how can you be THAT good at vectoring!?!?! It looks amazing...my jaw dropped. That is the best vectored skin and hair i think i've seen on this site. You've totally crushed all the other artists on here! lol, please please make some more!!!

[*[2]Nekked*]

near the bottom, between the sides of the jacket...the hair... theres like a random block of brown behind the strands. why?

im just gonna say this: not everything has to be meshed. play with texturing.

the eyes are messed up, imo... the eyebrows dont line up the way they should, either. also, just because the skin is meshed, doesnt mean you cant also add some layered shading as well... especially on the left side of her face... where the shadow would be from her hair.

[EmmalieV]

WOW , Heather you have officialy left me breathless.

[fLufFy_aZn_kIsS]

damn datz effing gorgeous keep it up

its just a dark spot, not every things going to be perfect.
most of the time i dont just use the mesh tool, in fact, this is the only piece i completely just used gradients, because i wanted to see how it would turn out.

[EddieV]

Wow that looks beautiful!

[IamRad]

dang, looks just like her

[tinababy143]

wow..thats awesome! i love the eyes, hair, lips, jacket and everything! haha...awesome!

[apple.]

I love the hair..

[*xcaitlinx*]

i think this makes the cut for one of the most gorgeous vectors ever on CB.

[Heathasm]

okay i just fully read your post
what the hell?
i mesh like every one else. and since i dont know who you are (i guess you werent sure you wanted to post this on your real name) im just going to disreguard your critique
and, no thanks, i dont like my work being compared to others.

thanks every one else for the really really nice comments, im flattered since this was made quite a while ago, i've gotten better and will post some more later :P

[EAST0AKLAND9800]

Cool! I love it!

[*mona lisa*]

near the bottom, between the sides of the jacket...the hair... theres like a random block of brown behind the strands. why?

I don't know if it's it, but it looks like skin that isn't shaded to me. Since she is wearing a tank.

[Eryi]

Everyone says: OMG it looks like Elba. One question, whos Elba? Lol. Sorry I'm late. Haha. But from the picture. She looks pretty!

[*mona lisa*]

^the gorgeous AngelicEyz00

[*AngelicEyz00*]

I don't know if it's it, but it looks like skin that isn't shaded to me. Since she is wearing a tank.

yeah i think it's my skin

Everyone says: OMG it looks like Elba. One question, whos Elba? Lol. Sorry I'm late. Haha. But from the picture. She looks pretty!

It is I

[HoodieObsessed]

OMG THAT'S AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll take an order That's worth like...ALOT OF MONEY!! hehe...

[heyyfrankie]

that looks almost exactly like her! i love the way you do hair on your vectors. it is so smooth and clean. i also love the sparkle on her lips and her eye. it really looks good. the layers on the face blend really well and the detail on the jacket is incredible. great job, heather.

[Heathasm]

OMG THAT'S AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll take an order    That's worth like...ALOT OF MONEY!! hehe...

thank you

[chaoticchrissy]

i love it. looks just like her

[miss barnes]

omg really good job. it looks just like her.

[me1issaaaa]

HOLY CRAP.
That looks amazing. I.... have no words. Wow.
That's almost creepy.

[*[2]Nekked*]

most of the time i dont just use the mesh tool, in fact, this is the only piece i completely just used gradients, because i wanted to see how it would turn out.

but its something that can easily be fixed. "not everything is going to be perfect" isnt really an excuse. if this is supposed to provide an example for potential clients for your vector site, you want to show them something polished. you dont want them to think you just halfass everything and leave shit unfinished. i've known you to be a great artist, and this piece and your attitude towards valid critiques on it certainly makes me question that judgement.

btw abby posted on that name because she forgot to login to her own name.

and what i think she meant is that you dont mesh well. but you're fairly new at it, so that can be expected. but all the mesh vectors i've seen from you all seem like something out of a poor quality videogame. it isnt subtle enough, and the direction of some parts of the gradients look...off..and it gives the skin this weird texture to it that makes her looked really bruised...

and for those of you who didnt see what i was talking about...here.. i also circled the other flaws i noticed. and this is only on first glance:

[img]http://2nekked.cliquemb.com/elba.jpg

the only reason i acted the way i did is because no one in the months i've made this vector have had any complaints like that nor tried to insult me like that by saying "its just the way that you mesh that I don't like" and now you've exceeded in pissing me off more by telling me my vectors' skin looks "dirty" and like they are from a "low quality video game"

-i know how to get business, i appreciate your, for lack of a better word, compassion, and wanting to help me out; i really do recognize it and appreciate it, but I've already made 7 designs that were ordered from my site and include the use of my meshing skills. They are all happy customers except one, because i haven't finished her design yet.

-"Not everything is going to be perfect", is true. people aren't perfect, art isn't perfect. The skin may be a little abstract on some of my vectors, so what (hey i like to keep it different)? That doesn't make them look poor quality or not up to standards with the public.

-I'm fully aware that I'm new to using the mesh tool. I'm fully aware of what I need to work on more and I don't need people being rude like this and making ugly comparisons to my work.

-those "flaws" you pointed out aren't as easy to "fix" as you claim them to be. Especially since i probably don't have the .ai file any more

also, thanks. I think you're a great artist too, i love to look at the new illustrations and vectors you come up with

I don't believe she asked for your criticism. I don't see where she asks anyone to critique her work. I would love to see what you would say if someone said that about your work. You are a total hypocrite, and what you said was totally unnecessary, immature and rude. And the flaws you circled, well you know what, people in real life even have flaws. Everyone is different, nobody is perfect or has to be perfect, just like not everyone likes to flash there tits around the internet. That slap you circled, that is the top trim of her shirt. That little piece of hair is barely noticable.. She is fairly new at the mesh tool after all, so there may be mistakes so what? You don't need to point them out and be so negative about it especially in public. If would like to help her with her mesh work then why don't you message her privately. That would be the better way to go maturely. I don't think she'll have a problem with any clients, most the comments she has recieved are positive, they seem to love it. I know she doesn't halfass her work, she tries her best and she will get better in time.

[*[2]Nekked*]

im not being negative. im saying if she already worked hard on the rest of the vector... whats a few minutes correcting the mistakes she obviously already sees for herself? follow through...

and those errors are easy to fix, even if you dont have the AI file. i know you can figure out how. you could have fixed it before you deleted the AI file as well.. i mean they werent hard to see...i didnt think you needed me to tell you...

how would you feel if you were a client, and noticed such an error and they just said that "hey not everything is perfect?"

as for the clients you already had, who havent complained...

well i've come to notice that people are very easy to please.

okay I appreciate the input. I did think some of the things you said were rather nasty in the other post.

if an actual client asked me to fix some thing i would see what i could do about it

Well if there is a cilent with a problem and they aren't happy with a little detail I'm sure Heather wouldn't hesitate to try to fix her little mistake. That is a private matter anyway and shouldn't be brought up in public. But still, it isn't right to insult her work like you did, that is what I'm simply calling negative. "low qaulity video game" :\

[*[2]Nekked*]

i didnt mean that to be offending in any way... i was just making a comparison. i should watch how i say things though.

p.s. am i the only one that gets confused with purpleyes and purpleskies?

[*Solipsist*]

p.s. am i the only one that gets confused with purpleyes and purpleskies?

Yes. Because you're weird.-

[*[2]Nekked*]

STIFFOO

[Heathasm]

p.s. am i the only one that gets confused with purpleyes and purpleskies?

haha, no, they confuse me too
i also get purpleyes mixxed up with he song purple haze and i think there is another person on cb with a name similar to "purple haze"
damnit.

[freeflow]

that is an amazing vector .. amazing job

[sweetxsimplicity]

Wow, it looks a lot like her! But there's just something about the eyes or nose or something that looks wrong. >< It's really good though! And I don't really like the sparkles that much..But, that's not a big thing. =)

Well, most people usually post their graphics here because they want critique

[[4]eternity]

It looks like her, but her skin color is more darker? I think. Looks really realistic.

[YourSuperior]

Sorry for bringing this old topic back up but I was just browsing around and I found this topic and I was AMAZED because it looks just like Elba, it's a really good vector.
