Now I'm
tuggin on this line, but I can
never gain any ground.
For the
selfishness I've displayed, there's a
punishment that I've found.
i'm tired.
for the contest at *AnimeVectorArtists . three color palette.
grey value #'s 000000 FFFFFF (uhdur) and red #390B0D. total color count was 6447 with the gradients. that's like four ten-thousandths of the 24 bit 16mil. i think we call that a "swish." *dunk gesture*
a lot of ladies probably won't like this. fuck them. i think it's hot. one of the things that drew me to Greed was that he wasn't SUPER KAWAII GAYBOI HIGHSCHOOL CLUB GEAR BISHOUNEN in every shot. he looks drawn here, worn out. and he is. minutes before his death in Dante's mansion. i'm not -that- old (like over thirty; no offense) but sometimes i like men who are. anyone who knows my original project is probably aware of this. and that i like even stranger things
but here's Greed. Raw Deal was the MBD song i repeated a couple of times when i was finalizing it. posting the lyrics ain't enough... ain't about the lyrics... well a little... but they're not much without the fuckin geet'rs wailin' in the background. i told u i wz addicted D:
full res is available on "Download." yes, the actual full res. i worked pretty small this time around. i remember why i don't do that now. i started at 3:30 AM, finished at six. i don't trace. Greed is property of the rightsholders to the series to which he belongs and i am depciting him face-to-name without permission like i have done many times before. BREAKIN' THE LAWW BREAKIN' THE LAWW.
ref uploaded. it is RITE HEER.

Ahahaha.I love his hair. It's like mini Vegeta hair. Greed is the angry guy in FMA. Actually...Mustang is...But Mustang is gay cause he's a "dog of the military."
If I had to show someone what a vector piece is, i'd definitely show them this. Because it's solid and awesome and he looks so sad. He's got a cool nose ,too.Neat gradients. ALL ABOARD THE GRADIANT TRAIN. WOOWOO.

COME ON IN DEAR BOY
thanks... this was a really easy piece to do... but i guess sice it's Greed it outweighs like, everything else i actually put a lot of effort into. that stupid "Theory" image is still getting like ten faves a day. it makes me feel empty inside. i'm gonna stop saying thankyou to the people.

it's difficult for everyone. it's a completely different mode of perception-- but if you stay with it it becomes second nature... you should give it another shot; practicing tracing photos of yourself for fun. the more people who can understand vector the more people can appreciate it for what it is and not some kind of "magical computer art that's super easy/too hard for me D:"
thanks again for diggin this. :]

That's true, I wont quit. I was just resting for a while, I do appreciate that form of art that's why I wanted to learn it for myself. Tutorials didn't help, but eh. And don't mention it, the picture is deserving.

tutorials blow dude. vector art was a mystery for me until i discovered the pen tool had a background color on my PSP8. then my world was turned upside down XD
learning the process is easy enough; getting used to thinking in finger-twitches instead of sweeping hand motions, avoiding trace-over anime character art (), and figuring out everything the program you use can actually DO and how best to sue it is what takes most time for people.

That does sound challenging. I'm up to it though. And how did you find background in the pen tool?

sparkpenguin In reply to 4Anime [2007-03-05 21:24:27 +0000 UTC]
i had never used it in PSP and i was outlining on a photo, so i could print up a skeleton of it for a painting i was gonna do. i was like "what's that weird colored shape following the mouse? it's the right click color. holy crap am i making that? WAIT OMG *changes layer opacity* HOLY SHIT I AM VECTORING!"
needless to say, after i finished that project it was the second to last time i ever painted anything before i went all-digital.

Omfg I can't believe I didn't comment on this. I LOVE the gloomy look, the dull/limited colours, the expression, the facial structure. Eeeverything. The shading in his hair is awesome too and the plain black really makes it stand out.
Raawwr love.

rofl i won't ask why that's in asteriks, but i like the moodyness. i curse my own diplmacy makes me unable to be moody in public rock the eff on!
and thanks for diggin this it woulda been cool to use OCs; i think that it would;ve focuded the competition more on talent than who picked the most popular character; eliminating the originality factor won't stop people from bitching because now the ONLY OPTION is for a popular character to win. they should've made us use OC's only to truly level the playing field there. but i'm not sour enugh to not participate; and the entries coming in are pretty swell. i don't know half the other characters i'm seeing anywhow

ROFL that was your idea dude??
personally, i said it in another reply but i think eliminating popular characters would've made the contest more objective (focusing on the artist's effort and concept) because there's still a possiblity the most well liked character will win. but, like i also said in that same comment, i don't even KNOW who half these chars are, being submitted. so in all i don't see it being an issue. it's not like i don't have enough OC material in my gal anyways.
thanks for diggin this, you too. i'm waitin to see what you've got cookin up for this comp.

i was going to propose to Homuns-U a "who wants to jello wrestle profanity?" contest and give the winning artist a picture of their OC and fave homunculus being cuddly with pro wearing a barrel or dead in the gutter or something in the bg.
in a similar interactive sorta matter the AVA OC contest should come down to two winners and whoever draws theyr OC killing the other the best wins! that'd be sweet, yes, but it all comes down to who has the most time and effort available. lotta people have school still, or aren't PC-bodies.

AWWWWWWWWW Greed kun looks sad! And worn! And perfect! This is one of the things that drew me to him, he's not perfect, he'd not gayish looking, and he's a human, sorta not really but you get the idea. I like the hair! It's very sexy! i would have never thought of that, okay, would have, but a lot later than you. And you're right, it does look better with the red than with any other highlights.
He looks as if he knows he's about to die. I bet he does... cause in the show he's all "grrrrr but everyone has their time" lol. I love this. Instant fav. I really do not mind you being a Greed Whore. I would be, I'm trying to be, I'm trying to draw him right so that I am not one of the ones I make fun of when lookign for art of him. I mean c'mon, kids, greed is not a box, nor do his teeth extend to his chin.
Excellent. Keep up the good work! *hugs greed* feel better!

What's sad is I think I know what picture you're talking about. I stumbled across a website that had a bunch of that on it, and him and Kinblee, so i was like NUUUUUUUUUUU i've already had this discussion, want me to start ranting about how gay greed is not? "I want women!" Not "I want all the hot gay man sex I can handle" and certainly not "I want ponytail boy behind me becuase his ass is fine"! Envy and Greed are an even worse pairing though so it's like Gaaaaaaaaaaah.
No problem, this kicks ass halfway to hell!
