Takeuchi Takashi didn't do the knees very well. They're way too unnaturally close together. It kind of ruins the whole thing for me XD
But other than that, this drawing is fantastic

I.... Don't even know what to think any more. You know, about how to deal with this condition of "Saber Love"

Damn man, you are my vectoring hero. It took me 24 hours total to finish my first vector, and it didn't even have gradients...

Thanks man.
I'll assume you are talking about the Asuka vector that you did. Full body vectors tend to take a 'long' time to do right, so that's nothing to be ashamed of - yours had a decent amount of details too. I wish I had devoted as much hours to my first vectors...

Yes, that was the one. I was called insane by a few people for spending so much time on something like that when I got nothing in return. But I told myself to pick a large one so I can learn things faster than if I picked an easy one and worked my way up, and it felt damn good when I finished.

This is excellent! Great work! gradient meshes look great but are annoying to do.
I'm curious how long this took to do?

Thanks.
The Illustrator file is created April 12th so, that's like ~3 weeks.

Not a problem and thanks!
I was actually talking about how many hours you though it took you.

Oh, sorry. I honestly have no clue about the amount of hours it took, but I'd say around 70 (2-3 hours a day, more on weekends).

Thats fine I was just curious since I was thinking about doing a Gradient Mesh Vector again and I was wondering how much time it would take to get a good one out.

With your experience, I'm sure it wouldn't half as long as it took for me to do this one.
