Title: New girl artwork FINISHED! (21 mar '05)
Post by: Felsir on January 19, 2005, 06:44:41 am
I'm currently vectorising Red Monika (from Battlechasers). As usual I'll post updates in this thread.
After some attempts in AI, I went back to use Visio...

This image is more complex than my previous work ( car (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,21752.0.html), Timezone (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?board=13%3baction=display%3bthreadid=16195), Dangergirl Abbey Chase[url]) so it will probably take some more time between updates...

I believe the artist, Joe Madureira, decided to start his own publishing company Coldfusion (http://www.coldfuzionstudios.com/). From what I understood it had something to do with the publishing rights, DC comics owns the title but no title can be published without Joe's permission or so. It's kind of a stalemate where neither can continue the series. Anyway, both moved on to other projects. Too bad since it was a cool series (both story and art-wise).

I can see which part of that image is most important to you... ;)
haha.

Good work! I wish I had the time to get into that stuff... Keep it up!

He's going to end up putting all these girls as side art on his "Babecade".  ;D

haha.

uh... the face was most important... well I could mention that the bust had lots of difficult colours and shading techniques so it was the most challenging part to vectorise (I already did complex shapes in hair when I vectorised the Abbey Chase image), but probably noone would believe that

I'm not sure if it's my obsession or my imagination, but the boobs look bigger in the latest sample. Either way top notch job!

They're the same size in both samples... draw your own conclusions  ;) (judging your avatar you probably already did...)

I'm amazed at how well people on this board can vectorize art.

Felsir, awesome work.

Yep, you can see the WIP thread here (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,16195.0.html). My sig is the same as my cab's marquee (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,17204.msg139844.html#msg139844).

A minor update. I'm adding details on the glove.
I have less time to draw the next few weeks so updates come less quicker  :(

Post by: quadmasta on February 12, 2005, 02:21:19 am
so you think you're doing this slowly now?  You're blazing through some vectorization.  You'll have like 20 characters done before PixelHugger makes 4 cuts on his cabinet :)

Hey Felsir...

Would you mind vectorizing the Dangerous Collection... no biggie.... just volume 1. I've got $50 bucks with your name on it and you can have ALL week. That's right! And if it goes a day or so into the following I guess I could wait.  ;)

... the final result! Completed the gun, added the long hair, modified the eyes slightly. I might tweak the hilighting in the hair further lateron, but for now I concider this one 'finished'. I'm quite happy with the result! :D

Wow, mighty fine stuff. Interesting how the gold waistband leads into a form-fitting (very tight) pant crotch. :)

Yeah, but what Felsir isn't telling you is that her clothes are actually on a seperate layer.  ;D

For the fashion side of things, I blame J. Scott Campbell  :angel:

I found it here (http://www.paintedanvil.com/campbell2.html) (note that the original artist of Red Monika is on the same site here (http://www.paintedanvil.com/madureira.html) but I rather have her the way Campbell draws her).
