daft punk vector progression Options

been a while (2 years?) since my last vector, which was the iron man and probably the high point of my vectoring.

i'm using the same gradient technique with this, but it's much more colorful and a lot more difficult to do:

anyways.... here's whats there so far:

i'm planning to vector the background too, so this is gonna be a big project.

tiny update. i'm getting a little discouraged though. i was talking to someone about vectoring and they were like "its not really an art, is it? i mean you're basically just tracing" and it made me rethink why i'm even bothering with this. i mean, most of the time people add creative elements to their vectors, but i usually get so wiped out i barely bother editing, so why do i even bother? it's like i spend all this time doing this vector and in the end it just looks like the original from far away.

makes me a little sad.
