Description
As a graphic designer, I'm forced to work with a lot of vector clip-art to meet tight deadlines. Recently, however, I've been getting sick of the idea of rearranging other people's work to make art....so I've decided to start working on creating my own original hand-drawn clip-art packs.This is a preview of what can be made using my first pack, which will be a collection of elaborate, growthy crest segments than can be used to build unique, hyper-detailed crests in no time. All the individual segments are hand drawn by me with micron pens and vectorized to work with Illustrator, Freehand, Flash and so on.
This particular piece consists of 8 individual segments and literally took me less than 5 minutes to assemble from the pre-made segments. Can you tell where one ends and the next begins?
I'll keep you guys posted on this project's progress.

Would I be able to use this piece for a logo that I'm designing for a salon in Las Vegas?

How much, at minimum, would you charge for a royal-seal-style graphic, with high detail? I need 6 such designs for custom coins. They will be mock-ups of in-game currency, so they'd need to have high detail in a circular composition, within a 2-2.5" diameter...

You should put these in an art gallery! I really want the Marionette series to become action figures now! They're so cool!

Great work.
I am authoring a book on artists who use and create Vector Brushes.
It will be published by RotoVision.
I am looking for contributors and think you would be a great addition. If you are interested, please contact me for more details.

If you can create something like this, and label it a prototype, then im sure you will do really well with yourself.
Good luck in the future.

Ah. I know how you feel. I've always wanted to make that kind of "put-together" kind of stuff but I don't like the idea of using other people's stuff to make my own thing.
I'd like to make my own graphics such as this but I'm not sure how I'd go about doing it..

That's pretty cool. I've been practicing doing stuff like this freehand lately. Do you mind answering something though? When you recreate this in Illustrator are you live tracing it or using pen and or brush tool?
Keep up the good work.

Regrettably, these were live-traced for convenience. It's noticeable, but not too much. They were scanned pretty high-res. I love free-handing with the pen tool too though!

Thats a great idea and amazing execution. It looks nothing like I could create in Illustrator, its very organic and still holds that artistic/hand drawn element. I've always associated Illustrator with smooth and clean plasticities and this really defies that notion. Fantastic job in that regard.

It's awesome man. Your attention to detail is unmatched by most and I've enjoyed seeing you develop the years. Not to say that I expect you to remember who i am. 
Have you stopped doing character design at all? Like, more anime-inspired stuff like you used to?

Hey man! Yeah, of course I remember ya. Actually, I do a lot of character drawings and figure studies, I just never really finish anything to to point where it's worth showing here. I want to though, have a bunch of cool ideas flowing through. Your stuff looks like it's been coming along nicely as well. Thanks for stopping in on me, it's good to hear from you

Oh awesome man. Also glad you're working with graphics design and all that stuff, always knew you had the skills to make a career out of it
And thanks for the kind words. I've started drawing more and more, so i hope it'll pay off.. i do feel improvement but i'm still a retard at hands, for instance. Got so much to learn, it's kinda frustrating.
