Custom sideart vectorizing in progress [finished! 20 march 2004]
« on: February 17, 2004, 04:31:49 am »
I'm currently converting this picture:

into a vectorised version:


I don't have access to AI and I couln't get used to the vector tools in the trial version of PSP8 I downloaded.
Instead I used MS Visio. Mainly because I use it all the time at work so I'm used to all the controls.

Anyway: LMKWYT!

oh, in case you're wondering: the art has no relation to any game. I just like the picture (it's from a comic series I like to read) and I think it would look great as side art or marquee art.

Ah, I thought the Vector WIP thread was for 'real' arcade art (as in: from existing cabinets) only?

Picture of the progress I'm making. It's a long job especially because I'm not able to work on it as much as I want to.
Here is a picture of the current status:

Next stage:



I'm now focussing on the blade and the hands, this should give an impression what it's going to look like when finishing. After that it's just hilighting and fine-tuning.

Okay, hands and blade are done. Finished the outlines of the hair too:



Time to start doing those hilights in the hair and the rest of the dress...
Hints and tips are welcome!

I found that MS Visio and Adobe Illustrator share only one common format: autoCAD or am I missing something?

Sweeeet.

Out of curiosity, how many hours have you put into this so far?

I estimate roughly 20 - 24 hours so far. I generally spend 2 hours of time every other day. The shading took me the longest and there is still a few bits to do...

Thanks :-)

I'm currently figuring out a good way to convert the image to Adobe Illustrator or any other format that can be re-used for the Vector Library.
