Description
Phew, finished! I think I started this in February... (but I took a huge break in between though)This is vectored from a photograph I took of the poster I have in my room. I wanted to do this 'cause I love tigers ^^ But now.. I'm a bit sick of vectoring T__T ...
It's hard to distinguish the edges of the colours T__T ... I started out wanting to do a lot of details using a lot more in-between colours, but in the end, I got sick of staring at it, so I think I got a bit lazy to the end and used bigger blocks of colour.. I really really admire people who could vector from photographs with such fluid transitions...
What I love:
I love how the eyes turned out, esp the left one ^__^
What I dislike:
The right side of the face... T__T it took me forever....
Done in PSP8, with the pen tool. No gradients, no brushes, no filters.
Thanks to ~Mirinee for the advice ^_~
Edit Apr 2nd: Vectored the background as well =_= ... and changed title.
Edit Apr 7th: Here is the wallpaper version I randomly threw together.

I saw this thumbnail when i was browsing, i was like "...oh look....someone took a photo of my poster....wow...." But once i actually clicked it and began to look at it i realized it was vectorized!! D:
You got alot of patience. I myself love working in Illustrator. But i dont think i have the patience do something like this lol.
As i stated i have the same poster in my room, except it dosent say running free...it just says panther tigress tigress... or something like that...Anyways...Great job!

Srsly beautiful! I couldn't believe how much you had to do this especially trying to get the shades perfect by overlapping shapes with one another.

Yep, what everyone said!
You've perfected the background by going all the way and vectoring the water too!. Vectoring the fur and the water droplets on such a detailed photograph looked totally impossible, but you did it. You must be the...
I have it as my desktop wallpaper now. Love tigers too.

Awesome wallpaper! I liked Running Free better, so I changed it. 
Don't worry 'bout the pilots vector. Take a break. Besides, you already showed me those rainbow colours, so I'm happy.

Well, there's nothing wrong with large shapes! I've seen vectors where the artist has the patience to trace practically every detail, and they end up with basically a copy of the original photograph, so no new viewing experience is creating, and its like seeing the same thing again.
Yours on the other hand has a painterly feeling. You had to simplify and interpret those shapes, and that makes this uniquely yours and certainly a much different experience than seeing the photo (I have).
Congratulations, its a great piece!
