vexeling and vectoring, A different take on what it looks like. Options

[Ktru]

Hey everyone, there just something that's been bothering me about the forum's ethnic on vexeling and vectoring (which I will call Vextor).

So i'm browsing this forums and I'm looking at all the vextoring of people pictures and I'm thinking to myself gosh these people suck. Why is it that 99% of all the vextor images soo layery? Vexels and vectors are suppost to look flat aren't they?

Maybe you're new to vexeling or vectoring and so you're following the shapes that was created when you desaturate. But it seems like the popular notion of vectoring and vexeling is just to follow the shapes created by photoshop.

I think of graphic design as a form of art. Learning how to vexel and vector is hard because it takes time to learn what kind of shapes you need to make and what kind of opacity the shape should be. To make a good vextor you need to learn the basics ( how to desaturate. how to create shapes, how to blend the layers, etc) after you have that what you do with the vectoring should be up to you. Experiment with the color and shapes to create something different.

Here's a tutorial that I thought was great on vextoring. Can someone else provide their tutorial so I can see what they're doing?

please explain to me what your definition of "spam" is, because i'm sure it's totally different than everyone else's, seeing as how you've been making up your own definitions and words throughout this whole thread. everything i have posted here is in direct relevance to everything you're saying. that's not spam. that's the total opposite of spam.

i asked if you could read because it seems you DIDNT read anything i said in my previous post, and you're more concentrated on trying to get me out of your thread. TOUGH SHIT, HONEY, I'M HERE. And it seems YOU'RE the only one that cant seem to muster a response to anything i'm saying.

but there is good and bad art, it just the collective opinion at one time is swayed at good or bad. Look at picasso everyone thought his art sucks, but now people stare at it and go wow he's a genius. It is all very subjective, but that doesn't mean it can't be good and bad.

right there. you're the only one in this entire thread that thinks the way you do. the actual collective opinion of this forum agrees that you're pretty much wrong. just extrapulate that for a second.


Vectoring is not a genre of art. It is a technique used in art. Like painting. Painting is not a genre of art.

REALISM is a genre. SURREALISM is a genre. CUBISM. IMPRESSIONISM. Figure it out already. And they are genres for a reason. Different people can appreciate different genres. Maybe you only really like one or two. Good for you. In your own words, you arent the center of the universe. The collective opinion of art does not revolve around your own.

I like R&B. I don't like Country. But there are millions of people in the world that like country and dont like R&B.

3 words responses are spam, it's not referring to anything and you're not directing your response to anything.

Hey i welcomed you in with open arms, you're the one that said

And with that said, I'm done with this thread, as it no longer interests me to continue reading.

Ahem. No offense.

and

And once more, with feeling: I'm done with this thread. This is my last response. Your views were entertaining at first, but now you're just not being very nice.

Clearly you uninvited yourself not me so don't be bringing your attitude back cause really you're starting to bore me with that same song you've been singing over and over and over.

Seriously explain to me who nominated you as forum's spokeswoman?

I don't get why you think i'm pushing my opinion on anyone? I'm equally allowed to express my thoughts just as you are. So really get that whole "I'm right your wrong" thought out of your head you're just a silly monkey that got angry cause i said your stuff sucks. Really if your soo shallow to be offended by such a comment on the internet, you should consider seeking help.

It doesn't matter if they all look the same to you. I think most tissue boxes look the same. I think most cardboard boxes look the same. Does that mean that the cardboard used to make them and the processes to make them are bad? If many people like the same form of art, does that mean that its bad? Are you such a non-conformist that the idea of a majority liking just turns you off to something?

Maybe I am a non-conformist. Maybe i think everything that looks the same sucks, what's it to you? If you're in this to protect art then you too should know that art is about originality and if you're not promoting originality well... I guess you're pretty much into things that are homogeneous ya?

I think nothing you said came close to supporting your argument. So far, you have not discussed your reasoning for why so called 'vextors' are bad. In your first post here, you said:

Okay so let me lay out my arguement for ya.

This forum's vextors= layerly
I hate layerly
So I want to know where everyone's learning how to vector from

or

layerly= non realistic
organic shapes to shade the skin, is
proof?- I don't see people with layerly skin...well none from earth that is.

And if you don't think the layered vectors are more realistic than flat vectors, then what are they? Less realistic?

precisely

Additionally, critics are respected due to their experience in a certain subject. Critics are not appreciated on Createblog, as you have no credentials, and if you do, you can't prove them. Here, regardless of what profession you've moved into, you are just a member with an opinion, equal to any other member. Don't think you can just blab your opinion about something and have everyone submit to it without supporting yourself with evidence. A critic's evidence is his or her status. You don't have that luxury.

Oh but I can blab my opinion without supporting myself. This is a forum and as the artist's luxury he/she has the right to ignore my opinion.
