Description
this is a tribute to my beloved Lappes, my black lab who became 19(!) years old and passed away last year in april. it was really a challenge for me with all the fur,...but i am absolutely happy with the final result!all progressions can be seen here:[link]
background is not vectorized, all the rest=100% vector and 100% patience...drawn with adobe indesign
EDIT: i wondered why sooo many members added my puppy to their favourites,...then a nice girl explained the DD stuff to me,...normally i answer all messages and thank all persons ,...in this case, please don't be disappointed if i don't do so,...there were too many at all...
THANK YOU PPL! I AM SPEECHLESS

When I saw the thumbnail, I was sure it was a photo... when I read vexel, I had to come for a closer look! This is amazing; it feels like that soft, velverty fur of a lab puppy, which is quite a feat for a drawing with this technique. Beautiful!

i was so convinced this was a photo! in the thumbnail, along with the DD description, i was like "what are they talking about? this is a photo!"
but upon closer inspection--no! it was vexel!
and i am very, very impressed.

I'm sorry about your dog. I had a cat who lived to be seventeen, who I grew up with from daycare to college. When it was time to say goodbye, I was so heartbroken, it was almost like losing a member of the family At least you can rest well knowing he's in a better place and is watching over you from up there.

wow had i not read the dd i wouldn't have know it was a vexel. the fur is perfection although the collar sorta gives it away that it's a vexel. It's amazing!

that's not the point, filters can do stuff quickly, but what's the point in them really.. this is a demonstration of skill and effort.

Yes you right, but in gfx is a main - final result not your hard work f.e. manips of anyones photo, give a 4 stock, take together voila art... For people is not important how many work you spent, but final result. F.e. Manipulator vs Photographer, it is the same, photographer must go out, set cam, take shot, edit....many works, manipulator give this photographers work at home in warm place near pc and do some edits and be famous
Thats all mate I want to describe about world in gfx, i do not speak abuot her effort such as final res

in the world of ART, effort is all part of the art. and in the world of ART, people using a filter on a photo to make it look like vexel are called shite
it's all about priorities

Yes, it is nice theory, but reality is another. In som cases I have a similar opinion, but as I see on forums and art sites sometimes is result more than effort. Yes, it is sad, but not every teen and people are good in art and for them is main result, because he know nothing about vector.
ps: not everybody send you progress and in some works you can not know what is done manual or by trace. Where is true?
Okay, stop off topic Ben another people, another opinion. After all I say that dd are well deserved main for the effort
I never said that not.
Nice week to you

The fur is nicely done, but the eyes look like they've been tacked on and made of cellophane or something.

oh my god, I didn't read the description and I thought this was a just photograph until I enlarged it. It's pure vector! I'm sorry to hear about your pet passing away, but this art is indeed an ultimate expression of your love for the dog.

Wow, looks amazing.
I understand how hard it would've been.. I tried to vexel and gave up after 20 minutes! Haha.
Good work.

Well, a feline is a cat. Or cat type, animal..
I felt dumb saying "man what a great vexel!" But it is, so I made a stupid joke instead.
