Description Hmm...yeah, I think I'm done.
I remembered eyebrows this time. xD
Well, what I did was take stock images, put them together, messed with contrast, vectored everything, put a leafy texture layer over it, and used warm yellow filters for that autumn feel.
Total time: I don't feel like telling you.
I made this for the 's contest.
Kanon is owned by Key.

meh, that's alright. I'm just glad I got third.
There were a lot of other great peices, especially this Fuko one, I thought they were totally going to win.

Looks pretty good :3 I'm not too good at vectoring myself so I usually do freehanded xD

I wanna know how long it took

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Dafoose In reply to EternalOmni [2009-04-18 06:40:16 +0000 UTC]

ok, lemme think...
it took a while to vector Mai completely.
I think it took 10 hours. Vectoring is still taking a long time for me, but I think I learned a few things in making this one. For example, I should've done the hair in two peices, because i had a hard time making the hair perpendicular with one set of paths.

I spent liek, 6 hours working on it today. I think..I wasn't paying attention.
and the first day i started working on it, I spent four, because I just wanted to make significant progress.
And one day I arbitrarily spent an hour. doing the eyes and fixing things.
So I spent 10 hours I think.

Heh, that's why most of your work it great.
For me, I can't extend my artistic ability as far as that yet.

But this is good for me to know: it takes time to be professional.
