I haven't vectored in a long time and suddenly felt like doing one, so I find a scan I didn't know I had on my computer. I didn't want to vector something simple, but not something extremely difficult either, so the picture was perfect. Coloring this vector reminded me why I took a break from vectoring in the first place; I am much too much of a perfectionist to let one flaw pass me by. I hope there are no flaws here.
This vector is just the epitome of agonizing gradients and lots and lots of shiny leather. So much shine. It blinds me. O.O

The vector itself is neat and clean and shiny)) But I don't like the blurred shadows on her clothes... but still, it might be only for my taste - I like crips and sharp ones)) still, good job)

Nice clean vector, with no colour leaks that I can see.
However I'm bothered by two things - your use of black lineart for the skin and her clothes, and yet coloured lineart for her nails and stockings. In my opinion you would have been better served sticking with coloured lineart for the whole vector instead of having a mishmash of types, her skin especially should have had coloured lineart if you are going to use it for the rest of the leg, ie: stockings.
The other thing is your use of blur. It seems far too much to me. So much so that your lineart seems to float upon the vector rather than enhance it. I would have kept the shadows and lighting crisp, but enhancing them with gradients to help blend them, it would have a much cleaner look that way too. It really does seem at odds with the crisp lineart.
Her eyes could do with some 'life' in them too, at present they seem a little dull. Adding some lighter tones with a bit of darker shading to denote depth would make a huge difference.
Her hair needs shading, adding in some darker tones for shadows and lighter tones to denote light shine will take her hair from looking flat to full. The lighter tone you have already is good, though I wouldn't blur it at all. Choose a much brighter shade of that colour for the bright light reflections.
Having said all of that I love your gold shades, I think you chose brilliantly there =3
But I would try to avoid blur at all if you can, or use gaussian blur on select parts if they really do need it for perspectives' sake. Too much blur overpowers your lovely clean vector.
Keep on working, I look forward to seeing more from you.

Love how you colored each of the fabrics differently - gives the vector a good variety. Thanks for sharing!

You can be as much perfectionist as you want if you keep doing vector like this. Great job.

She looks really nice except for her thighhighs, which look a little flat. I can't pinpoint exactly what you need to fix, but they just don't fit with the rest of your vector.

Bebop is always a clutch decision for any sort of vector or even wall because it has such fantastic visual artistry and it's just so versatile to work with. You did an amazing job for someone who hasn't done a vector in a while, and it's good to see that you obviously haven't lost your touch. The shadowing is perfect, and all of the gold shades in the clothes are flawless. I do agree with Vampluva about the darker tones in the hair and lineart with the skin tones and stockings. It's still an amazing vector though. I hope you do another one this good soon. Fav.

I like the effect of shadows and degradation you've accomplished. Thanks for uploading this vector

Great job! Lines are simple but still does the job if you put it against a darker background I think...
