My VectaDesu #12 Entry
Based on:
I have been working on this the whole month and still at the end I needed to rush my work, so it didn´t completely became my intended end-result, though I am happy.
Sorry for the long wait, but I uploaded an improved version. Glitches fixed (2 are unfixable) and adjusted the neck to head transition.
Just to say in advance. No full color shape was used and it is not painted, but all done in Illustrator. Everything is meshed.
Everything is created in Illustrator. I wanted to try out the "mesh tool", so this is my first time using it. It was a pain at the beginning and with many trial and errors I started to get the hang on it. However during vectoring I still had to do some parts multiple times before I was satisfied. Along the way I got myself trying out different methods to create a part, so in this work there are several methods I used. (You might be able to see the difference in some parts)
As proof it was not painted I made a screenshot from a no-fills preview.
I wanted to try to create something realistic/3d-ish, but it didn't really became any of these. Don't know how to call this work. Furthermore I wanted to challenge myself in trying to do something more difficult.
I succeeded :S In fact a bit too difficult, resulting in a time-consuming project. The easiest part of this vector was finding the scan. I had reserved this picture for a long time.
Anyways I hope you like it.
Comments/remarks/suggestions/hints/tips/critiques etc. are appreciated.
Enjoy

Drools nice work! º
2 years, 1 month ago
I have to commend you for doing a very good job for the first time use of the mesh tool.
The eyes may be a tad blurry, though I saw that the scan isn't much better. It may help to lighten the bottom left side of her face layer/mesh (or add an opacity mask with gradient or mesh) to blend it in with the neck a bit better like the scan.
Overall, very good job, and nice scan choice.

Excellent vector.Very impressive
2 years, 1 month ago
Very promising. If this is your first attempt at using gradient mesh, then I can't wait to see how your future works will look like. My only concern would be the sharpness (or lack thereof) of the eyes. But I'm just nitpicking and you deserve a keg of beer for your hard work.
Instant favorite.
@Tens was right, gradient mesh is indeed hax.

Awesome possum work yo.
@isteb-isteb lol.
This shows how powerful the gradient mesh tool can be. It actually makes me want to try AI again but I can never get used to the pen tool and interface. I can't get out of my PS habits but who knows. At glance it looks like the official game illustrations. Pretty cool how you did all the detail work and retained their original shapes pretty well. Lots of meticulous work that just kept piling up on top of each other and created a wonderful vector.
Everyone already mentioned the sharpness of the eyes. I would of liked to see the overall contrast turned up a notch or not but she sort of feels dreamy.
You've come a LONG way. I think CloudGER and you were just starting out vectoring and hoping to improve. Now, the two of you became very good vector artists. : )
2 years, 1 month ago
This is really impressive, and by far your best vector so far. Looks really liek you put a lot of effort in it. I wished IS had a mesh tool too, I really like this style, but actually don't want to do painted vectors anymore because they are so tiring to do in IS... maybe one day I will try out AI, who knows. I can't say much abt this vector in particular, I think it speaks for itself and other ppl already mentioned some points. I don't see much unfinished in this actually, and think this one deserves to win VD. Good luck! +fav

fantastic. but i just feel that the saturation is a little too much.
2 years, 4 weeks ago
ZOMFG, this totally looks like it's painted o.o but it's not which is far more impressive. The coloring is absolute love, the only thing that bothers me is missing some sharpness like the eyes and some details. Minor things only because this is fabulous.
2 years, 4 weeks ago
WOhoho O.O WTF is THIS?!!! This round of vectadesu has been pushing everyone to the utmost limits of their vectoring skills, and this vector is no exception to that. On top of an awesome, utterly challenging scna, you've reached a level of near perfect execution. There's so much to look at, my head goes spinning ^^/ Moreover, it's nice to see you challenge your traditional style and go for a more 3D image. Superb work!

amazing, especially you draw that with mesh that are considered difficult
2 years, 4 weeks ago
Wow i don't usually comment on vectors, and in fact this is my first time commenting on one. But yours is really amazing and impressive, so i had to comment. I really like the outcome. I have no idea what and how this "mesh tool" works (don't have Illustrator), but i'm really impressed with what you can do with it. The screenshot of those black outlines alone made me go "whoa!". The only gripe i have about it is the eyes. It needs to be sharper. It's kinda blurry at the moment. Nonetheless, a job well done! :D

ಠ___ಠ Why is this so awesome. Legit mad skills mate. Ever considered making a tutorial or a progress thingy about this? Technique wise, it's breathtaking

Amazing... As others have pointed out, it'd be nice if you could do a tutorial on this mesh style of vectoring. Think we'd all appreciate it very much : )

Awesome job! I really like how it looks so smooth that I really thought that at least parts must've been painted. I must admit I was just a little bit disappointed when I found out it's all vector. Really good job on this one - I am sure that you'll see this one on some guild page or something from that game. If I'll be the one designing such a page though, I'll definitely credit you! Kendra looks awesome in her S80-grade armor :D. Human (arch)mages ftw!

Amazing... vectoring a 3D CGI must be really hard, and the final result is really amazing. Good management of lights and shadows, I like also the colors.
Thanks for sharing!

Man, Lineage has some of the most beautiful designs that I have seen from any PC game thus far. Anyway, bravo on the piece! I think I like this better than the original because the warm tone compliments the overall color scene more.

I just want to say that it is an excellent work although I have never played the game before.
Seems that you spend a lot of precious time for vectoring it.

This rocks. I love the way you used gradients without making it look like a gradient.
