VectorVonDoom Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I fancied doing something shiny, not too easy but not too complicated either, 2 weeks max, so decided to see if I could get this done. Shame it turned out to be such a horrible movie. There was too much background on the photo I used so I cropped it to something a bit more interesting. Who needs fancy pants gradient meshes when there’s the pen tool Sorry about the equally horrible compression. cybercrystal, Danika, AvocetGeo and 44 others 45 2 Quote Marc ArtByMarc.me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnSnr Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Some vector portraits you wouldn't know who they were if you hadn't been told, can't say the same about this even ignoring the costume. Think the eyes do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyg9 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 That's some genius work there. We're always our own worst critics, so know from the outside looking in, that is some superb craftsmanship. VectorVonDoom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorVonDoom Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 Not sure about that but thank you. First time I'd finished a face or hands properly and was happy how they turned out. Although in a week or two I might look at it again and not be so happy. Of course not having to do much hair made it a lot easier. The photo was noisy so it was difficult to work out what was going on with the "chain mail" so I had to simplify it but it's not too terrible.

VectorVonDoom Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 That's OK. Depending on the subject you can do photorealistic without blurs but usually you need them or it will improve things. I usually end up using a small number of blur values. It depends on the canvas size of course but for example 1, 2 4, 8, 11, 16 and 22 with the odd large one to really blend an area in. I pretty much never use the slider as it's slower and when you've a load of objects you want to save all the time you can. The other thing is with the exception of really tiny areas almost everything is a gradient. Sometimes, depending on the surrounding, an area can look like a flat colour but if you check there's a fair amount of variation so I automatically do gradients. I was thinking of putting something together about setup and some tips but not sure it's worth it as not many do this and the ones who do probably already know it.

VectorVonDoom Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 I did try once so that I could open it in Illustrator to see the object count, just out of interest. But I didn't manage it for the same reason, it didn't stay vector. Quote Marc ArtByMarc.me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PierreLR Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 You don't see too many realistic people. If that was a poster I'm not sure it would occur to me it was a drawing. Thank you for the source file, it's always interesting to see the inner workings. VectorVonDoom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectorVonDoom Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share Posted February 19, 2021 I thought I'd deleted the daily progress outputs but still had them hidden away so as a one off I thought I'd post them. The first was an evening and a day. Sort of interesting I guess but they uploaded sorted by day name, my fault it's the way i named them. i think I put them in order, or close enough. x JohnSnr, markw, AdamStanislav and 3 others 6 Quote Marc ArtByMarc.me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
