For VectaDesu Contest #11 - Head for Headphones' Heaven
My goal was to, aside from the headphones and lineart, try and make the vector look painted similarly to the original scan, and without using any effects (no blur, feather, etc). Quite time consuming.
I did the headphones a bit more realistic, redrew the toes, extended sides of scan, and swapped CD.
Made with Illustrator.

Well, personally I like very much this kind of vector-style where the colors are smudged because it seems truly painted like an art piece. Afterthat I like especially the headphone details.

The headphones are funny to watch and amazing. The little holes remind of mine. I like the way u vectored it, more like a painting.

You did very well in vectoring this. It really looks like a painting. Is good that you switched the CD, cause the original one looked quite dark (against the background).

This is an interesting style you chose to do for this vector. :) The detail spots on the headphones are neat. But I would be careful about the skin shading - the legs look rather blotchy instead of smooth, so this is something to be aware of.

This is look so better that the scan! is a huuge improvement, I like this, ow is so hard trying to do art/paint style on vector D: i think you made it with many parts, like, sofa, shirt and legs, but you used blur isn't? I think between the shades and lights on the skin, should have intercalated tones from the color, erm ex: if you are using_ "orange" as base color, then dark orange and light orange_, as intercalated change the tone for a light blue for lights or red darks for shades. i think is not necessary use the same color for the hues used for it. OH the headphones are awesome! metal looks like metal!! amazing job =D

WOW for that headphone. <3 <3 <3 She does seem----painted though? IDK if it's just blurred or something but it looks smudged to me. Other than that, I really love the whole vector 'cause of the coloring style and making it look real (especially the headphones).

AKG K701 to be exact. My go-to headphones for classical music, and anything that doesn't require a bit more bass punch.

i looked at the outline and was like holy sxxx you must me pulling on my legs. it's incredible you managed to finish this without loosing your head.
really love the painted effect. done via opacity yes?
1 year, 11 months ago
yep, opacity masks were used to blend/fade shapes to give the blurry painted look. :)

Aha! Little wonder it looked so much like a painting. I haven't tried vexeling yet, but the outline form you attached gives me some hope in trying it out. Beautiful work, scorpe.

Wow! I love the style of the vector! Many paitings vector are looking strange, but your are totally beautiful and stylish! ^^ But I maybe interest more of the outline view! It looks cool too. I think you could make a wallpaper of it. It can be a original idea :)

This definitely does look very realistic so you succeeded there. The headphones also look pretty nice. Though I must agree with Nysha, her legs do look blotchy.
