one word.....
DAMN!
Kewl kewl, home at last, will get to work on something.
I hope I'll have it up tonight.
Glad you likey :D
What programs do you guys use for your vector stuff? The last one I did with Flash and Photoshop, the first one was with Photoshop only. Anyone use Illustrator? I was thinking about getting it.
i use flash for mine.
i have illustrator, and people do make amazing stuff in it, but i can't create anything decent in it. i need to sit down and spend some time learning how to use the tools (i don't get on well with the pen tool).
Corel and Illustrator, corel mostly cause thats what we use at work for vector stuff.
Im no good in illustrator.
Ok, One more hour and my return will be up.
I love the pen tool. That last one I did of the forest was done exclusively with the pen tool. And its funny because I used to hate the pen tool with a passion.
How did you save your stuff as a bitmap in Flash? I was looking for it but only found jpg and gif, both of which lost a lot of quality once published.
Edit:
Ack! I can't handle anticipation! *bites nails*Quote:

my volley was a jpeg. don't tend to use bitmaps. if i remember rightly you can choose the 'quality' of the jpeg when you export it, and mine worked out ok (looks ok to me anyway).

There we go ladies.
Kept the gun, did a lady (evryone else was doing one) added 2 new elements.
And now good night.
*passes out*
This is not good, i have a nagging feeling that I've seen this somewhere before... 'Its not plagerism, its redistribution of ideas"... Please let it be tiredness talking
woah, i LOVE it. love the change in style.
love hte background, love her face, love the piano, love her pose.
yep, i love it :D
lol, thanks carly, i just hope I didnt steal it. Im getting a dejavu feeling about this.
Not good.
Natsia... I personally think you're being a bit paranoid. We're all inspired subliminally by stuff we see... I know that advertisements tend to sorta be how I pick and choose my text placement a lot of times, and I'm not fully aware of it.
I doubt it's plagiarized, you showed me a couple of versions as you were building it... so I know you did the work. Relax... if it make you feel better, I'll show you some items where I know the placement of certain things, perspective, or something from my portfolio were influenced by past advertisements.
However, gotta say... I like this image, as well as this battle, quite well. Keep it up ladies.
I'm luvin' that last one, Natsia. Great illustrative style. :)
Thanks Gerbs and rush,
I guess Im being paranoid.
Im still going to go through my history, I just want to be sure.
It's got kind of a 'Kid Notorius' kind of feel to it. Tres cool.
voila mesdames......

Wow-wee what did I miss?! Natsia, love that last one and you are just being paranoid.
Carly awesome return! I like the way this battle is going.
I am going to try to get something up tomorrow, but it might have to wait until after the holidays.
I use the pen tool in Photoshop, is it different in Illustrator? I have never used that program.Quote:

thank you :DQuote:

that's cool as far as i'm concerened. i very much doubt i'd be able to do anything 'til january anyway, so i was going to say i will either have to step out of this and let you two battle on alone, or we put it on hold for a bit....Quote:

by the way, i just had a look in flash, and if you do 'export image' you can choose bitmap as the format. but yeah i saved it as a jpg, not sure why it chooses to save it as a bmp when you right click.... maybe it's an IE thing? ....dunno.
Holy jeebus Natsia... that is amazing!
STUNNING carly!
I love it!
Thanks Ghostgirl and getsteves.
I guess this means we'll see everyone back here in the new year for the next installment...
Now what am I going to do with my week off?
... Maybe its time to get some friends in the "real" world...
Carly... loving the vibe in your image. Awesome indeed.
Natsia the "Happiness" image was one of the coolest Ive seen here recently. The only thing that would have been cooooler is if you got sheet music for Lennon's tune.
Thanks Jwin.
I was actually listening to the Tori cover of it.
Call me lazy :P
BUMP BA BUMP BAAAA BUMP!
Come one ladies where is everyone....
i'm here and up for continuing where we left off (ghostgirl's go?).
my replies might not be very fast though as back to work on wednesday. and then away for a long weekend, so actually yeah my replies will be VERY slow, so feel free to continue without me if you want to :)
Im happy to wait for you Carly, I'll be back at work as of tomorrow, so mine will be equally slow.
And yes, its Ghostgirl's go.
yup, I am all over it. I'll try to have something tomorrow
This is one of the best threads ever....
just to see your styles together
I love the vector thing.
girls rule.
Hi guys, Im sorry to have to do this but I need to bow out for a few days.
no problem for me, because, as i said, i'm going to be stepping out for a bit too.
Thats cool with me, we can take it slow. I'll return and you guys get back when you can.
ghostgirl did your aol instant messenger break?
na, I decided to uninstall it and get back to real life.
Ghostgirl, carly do you guys mind if I post something I worked on during my week off?
I was saving it for a return, but I think this thread is asleep for now and the pic kinda goes with that?
Do it! Sorry I have been so slow. I just got slammed this week for some reason.
Ouch! Hope you hit the buggers that did it.
Thanks GG. Hopes you likes... So Im back to being out for a few days :P

Natsia...
I love that "Hapiness is a warm gun" image for your previous volley. This most recent one is hot too...
*I'ma have to practice my vector drawing. Never done anything in vectors before...
Thanks very much for the compliment pointguard.
I had some free time last week and did this image then. I think that it came out nice and clean can be attributed to pure and simple boredom. :P
Natsia, that is a very cool image. For a vector image it is blended very well. The lines feel soft and the overall image is very clean.
I'm generaly not a fan of vector art, but that one makes me want to attempt some myself. Good stuff.

weee ee natsia this last one its lovely brava !:D
