Description
I was talking to the other day about the path tools in photoshop, and I thought I'd give them a try. So I drew Miyuki entirely with the pen/path tools using my mouse. It gives a vector look to things (they're not real vectors, though, the curves remain invisible and the colors form a rastered shape that follows them). The gradient, of course, is just a gradient.In the end it's a really inefficient way to do things, it's a poor man's Adobe Illustrator hidden in photoshop. It looks neat, but there are faster, easier ways to get the same results.
Anyway, there you go. Red background version.
Enjoy,
~D

I met a guy once who worked for Wild Brain (the company that created Erin, they're here locally) and he told me they originally did her completely in Flash - I imagine it works similarly, using vectors and all. Nowadays they use more high powered animation programs, I expect. Flash makes sense, though, since Esurance was (and largely still is) a Direct Sales company operating entirely via internet.
Anyway, with my limited resources, an animated Miyuki cartoon would look either like this or be rendered on a bootleg copy of Maya. And have no sound. And only last about 20 seconds.
