Probally the longest time I've spent on designing. Took about 5 hours with at least like 300 something shapes. I think it's my best attempt, ever, at a vector/vexel, w/e.

Without further ado, my Hugh Jackman vector portrait.


(The only thing I don't like is the eyes but they didn't show up good when I posterized it. Oh well.)

C&C would be nice. _smile.gif Thanks.

If you were going for the realistic type vector, you're obviously way off. I actually think it's an interesting style, though. If you were to make the entire background in that choppy box technique instead of the gradient, I think it would make for a pretty good piece of work.


No, I was going for a painting style. At least that's what I hoped. Not much but I guess I could try another backround.

Not bad; I see improvement. It's kinda cool cause it looks like some kind of painting, haha.

If you really wanna get better at vectoring, though, you should work on making the edges a lot more defined. And I think you should use a lot more curves. Your shapes could be lot simpler, instead of having jagged edges everywhere.

But nice. :)


Haha, yeah, I had a bunch of jagged edges at first but I tried cleaning it up some but obviously messed a lot of spots and some of my shapes were off which kind of affected the curves like around his shoulders. Thanks though.

Well there is kind of a HUGE difference between a painting style and a vector. Make up you mind. haha.
