This wallpaper deserves to be highlighted because of many reasons:
The fence looks so real and detailled that you can almost touch it. In many cases, wallers copy and paste similiar objects of the background (e.g. flowers). But this fence looks like it has been drawn stroke by stroke.
The colours and combination of highlights and shadows create a dark and mysterious atmosphere which suits the manga perfectly. I'm glad dolce-yasmin didn't stick to the original colours which wouldn't be as effective as the brown tone.
Not to forget the vector itself which is not only a huge improvement of the original scan, but also shows you dolce-yasmin's improvement of her vectoring skills!
if you need help with inkscape I'm glad to help you out anytime^^
I'm mostly on msn, and even if my status says I'm busy you can always msg me, it's just to keep some ppl from spamming me, but you are definitely not among them bro =D
I for myself got better with inkscape btw, seems I will win the current VectaDESU contest with my 2nd Inkscape vector :3
Woah look who came back from the deepest abyss of inactivity! xD
Kitten pro is a joke from bantam, no real status for any achievement^^ came up in the shoutbox.
Thanks, I'm glad you like my vector.^^ Well I used only one tutorial, but that one isn't online anymore x_x (I learned it 2007 so yeah it's weird that it took me so long to submit something....). It was basically the typical stuff like how to trace and so on. I usually use paths instead of shape layers entirely if you want to know.
Everything else like coloring I practiced myself to get cool techniques down. Gaussian blur for example can do some help for shadowing.
Or soft brush eraser on certain opacities.
I still have to learn a lot though, like a good usage of gradients... I suck with gradients.
I also started switching from Photoshop to Inkscape, it's a free vector-based tool and very good (we recently started a group if you're interested in it...).
Anyways, was nice to hear from you^^
Btw will you submit anything too again somewhen maybe? =0
It's been months since we last chatted. Sorry, i have barely had time for social stuff in the past 3 months. By the way, i just graduated from high school. I can't wait to go to college, i know it's gonna be fun. Drop by whenever u have time!! See ya! (XD)
