Coffee, vectors hate me Rating Options

err.. well I thought it would be fun to try to make a coffee cup.. cuz I like coffee :3



It looks so weird to me.. the different vector shapes are so .. weird ?!

I used this image

http://www.flickr.com/photos/teraami/2827461645/

It also has those strange shapes.. but it's not as noticeable there I guess..

When I use images that have weird lighting do I just make up my own shapes ?

edit:

I'm talking about the pointy things near the mouth of the cup that hand down. and that weird picture frame shape..

edit 2:

and the cup looks pregnant on the left side It looks the same way on the flickr one...... rawr.. I'm going to have to abort that baby. It's making it look bad.

I think the second version looks better than the first. The lighting still looks a little odd, I guess. (But looking at the original photo, it looks weird there, too.) I really like the color combination that you chose, and the textures. It does look more like a painting than a vector, though. :)

OK, thank you I'm going to go find another cup that has better lighting and just put it on this one.

EDIT:

OK, let's compare.




^I got a real coffee cup and put it under a light source at the same angle. It didn't have a single one of those weird spike things.
