Entry for VectaDesu #11: Head for Headphones' Heaven.
Hard to find pics that I liked, I downloaded this artbook weeks ago and i'm glad AP have the pic too =)
I almost get blind looking through his dark clothes, is a beautiful pic, his expression is delightful, I was worry about keep it intact as much possible.
Navel :3
There is some jagged lines that bother me (maybe you can't see it here) and some banding too I don't know how to fix that without altering its vector status. As you can see the headphones are quite broken/ messy, attribute from this art that I wanted to keep. hmm.... Even so, I think something is missing ... the partner?... i can't see what is...
This with monochromatic tones would be a nice result :3
I did it on AI + 53 layers.
Credit if used.
I hope you like it, bye bye! =)
EDITION: I decided to do the version with shadows, because i think it is a interesting exercice do that kind of shades on his skin and I also decided to use that version for the future wallpaper, for that reason i did as well.
But is true, for usables purposes maybe people need it with the alternative version. and here you got. ^^U
Revision 1: Without shadow on face. some shadows a bit soften, but keeping almost the same atmosphere overall the suit.
Revision 2: Original vectored Version.
Revision 3: Original vectored version with BG.
Thank you so much for all the nice comments, i'm glad be able to improve a little bit my work =)

Interesting style and colors! And yay for lineless. :D I will say that the shadow on his face is a bit distracting, even if it's in the original scan - if someone were to use it on a wall, it would look out of place. It may be better to remove it or turn it into a more subtle gradient instead.

The vector is good but I think there should be more contrast between the colors because are too dark and some details are confused.

gradient win XD
but i have to agree with Nysha about the shadow on the face. sometime it's better not to follow the scan 100%

This is really an interesting approach to vectoring. :D Although, I've seen many vectors that resembles this style, I still like it. XD The way you vectored it kinda resembles a hard-stroked painting. ^^ It doesn't mean that it looks bad----I actually like these kind of arts. Also, the gradients are done and used beautifully. The lineless approach is very nice too. Overall, I love it. Though it could use a bit more gradients here and there to make it look more alive than it is right now. :D

Wow, great vector!
You have improved a lot with this one, my friend. There's something in his eyes that I don't like, but the rest is simply awesome. Good luck with Vecta Desu!

I LOVE the face and hair! It looks so delicate xD <3
the tie looks a little flat though.

I need to say that this one looks great. Kazuaki has such an unique style so I can tell it had to be quite difficult to vector. Congratulations!
