i know that there was just a vector/vexel contest here, but i've been planning this one for a while now..this contest isnt limited to this forum so dont feel any obligation to enter!
~rules~ -choose just one of the images below to vector    (these are very simple and high res pictuers..i made this way because i wanted every one to be on an equal level and to see how creative you can get with them!) -you're not alowed to shade the skin grey...this is getting too common a thing to do with vectors/vexels and it just annoys me now lol. Plus, i love color! it should be colorful :) good color combinations are great. -of course it must be your own vector -no "fake" vectors (aka cutout smudged photomanipped) -high res vectors/vexels are a good thing...you will probably be counted off if your finished piece is much smaller than the original picture. -be creative! pay attention to details.. contest will end july 12th..however, if i dont have at least 5 entries by that time i will extend the due date. there will be only one prize, which is first prize! first prize will recieve 100mb hosting for your domain or a subdomain on my site http://ill-wed.com with ftp access mysql php cgi all that good stuff. If you don't need to be hosted, or need a subdomain, I'll make the winner a custom layout to fit their every need :> im quite good with coding and designing so this is just as good a prize! Any way, the main point of this contest is to have fun. ^_^ post comments/questions/suggestion in this thread and all entries are to be PMed to me via the createblog messaging system, or heather@ill-wed.com via email! the contest is also open to any one and every one to enter..therefore you dont necessarily have to be a member of the forum to join! And all entries will be posted in a new thread once a winner has been decided by me and a select few other vector artists you've probably never met before..rest assure it wont be a popularity contest \m/ kris also asked me why the pictures were all greyscaled. I have the all greyscaled on purpose because i dont want any one to take advantage of the pictures original colors...i want you guys to come up with your own color schemes! |

man, that looks like so much fun. I would totally enter if i knew how to create a vexel. and i love the fact that you greyscaled all the pictures so everyone could come up with their own color schemes. that is awesome. Great job with that one :) But if I COULD do this, lol i would def pick the first picture, i have the color scheme all picked out and everythan;) lol

nope..i tried opening w/ imageready..illustrator and internet prgrms and everything..it doesnt show up *sigh* but ive started another vector..hopefully ill be done on time b/c i dont have as much time now =\..but its a good thing u have other pics as choices b/c i had originally done the 1st one..and i vectored all the details on the girl..the hair..the fingers..and even the flower and it took forever and i tried revectoring it now but i realize its soo boring vectoring the same image over again O.O so im vectoring another instead...heh
ok i just pmed you my new one..i hope you got it if not here it is again..im having computer issues so im taking special precautions
