[lefteyewilly]

holy hell that's awesome! looks like gerbs has his work cut out for him.

[Natsia]

Thanks guys! Been working on this for a little while now.
Thanks!

[Dricciotti]

well done nats

[1stbite]

I'm loving the vectors.....

[constructive crit feel free to ignore]

the chess piece is just perfect, the additional vectors add great motion, the bubbles are visually interesting and by that i mean good interesting not i can't fathom whats going on interesting.

only area i would say needed more time spent on it is the typography, maybe needs a bolder approach to such a stunning image, as it gets lost in such an strong image.


[/constructive crit feel free to ignore]

can't wait to see what gerbick does with this...

[gerbick]

Wow. Ok... it's on.

[silverx2]

looks like someone is gonna be sleeping on the proverbial couch.

this is gonna be a war!

[DaVulf]

nice nice. the first battle of marriage begins.

really lovin' the vectors nat. huge size too.

[Natsia]

Thanks for the crit 1'stbite. The text was added as an afterthought, I was going to put the classic 'Vs' in there, but decided against it at the last minute.
I guess that comes through with my choice of placement.

Thanks for the comments guys. Appreciated, you have no idea.

I can not wait to see what you post Gerbs! Been looking forward to this for a while now.

this is gonna be a war!

Fight! Fight! Fight!

I think this is going to be good.

[Speed85]

I like it, very artistic. But as a chess player something seems to be missing.

[jAQUAN]

Balls!
nice balance with the negative space.
few traps only an old vector dog like me would notice. It's on G!

[Natsia]

Had to share: this image was chosen to be featured in Vexel / Vector of the week on DA by the Vector Lovers club.
I'm shocked but really happy!
Thanks again guys.

[pointguard]

thats absolutely stunning. I think thats my favourite volley of yours ever, and definatly of this year on these boards.

Can't find falut with anything really, I love the colours, composition, everything. Maybe just make the text a little clearer...the green is quite hard to read, and the black "horse power" bit maybe a little bolder to stand out more?

Other than that it's perfect...Can you make it 1280 x 1040 for my work desktop???

[Natsia]

Here you go, just re-sized it a little, took the frikking text out too. Jeesh

[pointguard]

cool...........


*nothing wrong with the text in there though! Thanks again.....

[EVPohovich]

OH SNAP! I take off for a w/e and this happens...!!

Beautiful image, Natsia. The chess piece looks like solid work to me- I'm not very experienced with vectors. Mostly, I'm very pleased with your coloring. I think they are balanced very well. I'd like to know, being interested in pursuing vector work as well as increasing my productivity and breaking technological limitations, do you use a tablet? I'm so close to convincing myself to pick up a Wacom Graphire and I just cannot bring myself to it before I have some trustful input. I don't mean to hijack but I'm very interested. I can't begin to fathom what it would take to do such work with only a mouse.

[Natsia]

I dont have a tablet.
You should ask gerbs, pea and Creativeinsomnia that question. I know gerbs uses a tablet on quite a few of his vector elements.
I like using my mouse, played on a friends tablet once, and its just didnt have the same feel or control, probably because I'm not used to working with one. I'd kill for a tablet for paint brushing though!
