Fly... by °Phill 3 weeks 3 hours ago

This wallpaper captures the urban essence that proliferated the art of Ghost in the Shell in every incarnation of the series. Phill does an amazing job of capturing a moment of surrealism.

While there are a few, stray building angles and shadows, you find that your eye forgives the minor details and instead focuses on the overall scene that is larger than life, with lights trailing off into infinity.

"Not in my field of walling techniques so I couldn't comment much. But seeing it as a normal viewer, it looks pretty good. It gives the melancholic/medieval/horror feeling. Wouldn't say it totally fits the Rozen Maiden that I see, but that's more of a taste thing.

Only thing I didn't like is the overused filter effect on the painting. I didn't think that much distorting is necessary.

But it definitely will get accepted if that's your question."

"The mask is... cool yea. It looks almost like 3d with just painting.

But here's a little what I think:
-I think the vector (excluding the mask) is still a little too simple for such a close up shot. I also didn't find it too appealing without outlines, but that's probably a taste, maybe. But maybe adding more details, like additional hair shadow tones, red shirt shadow tones, etc, would help.
-The completely white background is still a little bland... as much as you wanna focus the character."

"Besides what asa said...

You might want to smooth out the curves of her chin. I know it is shaped like that in the scan but you might just want to fix it. Her chin outlines are like shaking now >_<. And in general it's always a good idea to zoom out a little, look at the flow out the curves and make sure it feels like it's flowing naturally. It's good to follow the scan base as closely as possible but sometimes you might just wanna fix some smoothness/curvature issues yourself."

First Vector

"I'd just go and start with the shape layer method. It has about the same learning curve as stroke but it just takes more effort but it's worth it.

In any case you'd need to get the curves flow better and more natural. Take an example, the left part of her hair (our right side), they look "shaky" but hair's supposed to flow naturally and straight. Hair ends should be sharp instead of like "U" shape. Another obvious example would be her boots. There are probably too many unnecessary anchor points which is why her boots outlines don't look smooth.

That's all I could say for now. But yea I'd still say go with shape layers method. It doesn't really take that whole lot more effort than path stroking..."

"Just do it manually is what I'd say.

The best way to understand to see the difference is to check out some of the beautiful vectors out there. Then you'd understand. If auto-trace works then there wouldn't be so many people vectoring manually now :)"

"Here's a little what I think.
-The curves are generally pretty smooth, however there are still parts that don't look very nice. Eg. Her thumb (one part is a little straight), her mouth, her pinky (a little too straight as well), etc.
-You might want to give some lighting, either that or some colour variation. Her clothes are too bland as of now, and you might want to add more colour tones to her hair.
-The background is probably temporary, but yea it's a little too simple as of now."

"If you take a look on the whole picture you should be able to see you'd need to improve the smoothness of the curves a whole lot more. They need to flow more naturally."

"Hm I personally didn't like the varying thickness on her white shirt, although that's probably a personal preference.

And you might want to give alittle some colour gradients to make things a little less stiff. But that depends on the style of wall and the background you want to blend as well."

Vectored wallpaper?

5 months 3 weeks ago

"The vectors that are accepted into scans have no background, it is usually just a character vector.

So to get a vector accepted as a wallpaper, all you have to do is to turn it into a wallpaper. That would mean to have the vectored character with a background (vectored or painted or anything) that it blends into."

i could need some help at shadows

"It looks mighty fine : ) Probably one more hair shadow tone, and a few more hair light (those shiny hair bits) the hair are probably good to go. Although you might want to add in some extra outlines on the right side (our right side) of her hair, to show how the strands extend from the head. For now they lack the outlines going into the head, so they just kind of pop out from her hair (compare to the left side, our left side of her hair, those hair have outlines extending onto her head).

There isn't much angular curve problem that I can see, although there's one small part, the hair strand right next to her right eye (our left side), is a little messy, probably caused by unnecessary anchor points.

The thickness issue isn't extremely obvious/bad, the only part that is significantly thicker in a glance would be where she tie up her hakama at her waist.

Good luck vectoring it and creating a bg, I am sure it'll turn out fine : )"
