". . . eh?"
That's the first idea I put to this image when I first saw it. It seems like something's caught Mu's eye . . . I wonder what it is . . . >///< Aha! My first vector after a long vector-absence. . . . See, I had a trial program, but, when that trial expired . . . (The only problem is, the instruction manual for it . . . is so long . . .) This particular image was absolute hell for me to do--though it wont be last one that will, I imagine. Well, when vectoring this, I had to keep the book I scanned from open in my lap so I could cross-check/cross-reference and constantly tweak everything. I'm serious. All the lines (that aren't outlines) are eyed-out by me, same with a lot of the detailed highlights and shadows. They werent clear enough for me to trace, no matter what I did, so I had to copy from the source. I would have had this finished sooner, but the *eyes* . . . I had the same "having to guess" problem. I re-did them a few times, since, well, expression is everything with this picture . . . No? I think they came out quite alright, if I may say so myself. Especially since my only other attempt at vectoring eyes . . . Sorry about the background . . . dark blue may not have been the best choice, but . . . I like it . . . --- Mu LaFlaga, the Hawk of Endymion from Gundam SEED. The scan I vectored from [link] is from the Hisashi Hirai artbook I bought on my recent outing to Japan. I dedicate this vector to *MapleRose , since, well, she was kinda the reason I got into vectoring! I thought this 'gift' would fit, no? |

Yes, Mwu in pilot suit with the collar open = me
Hehe, the expression looks awesome
Wow, your vectoring has improved so much! I like those outlines (they look like they took forever...) I don't mind the background (it's agreed that blue suits him, right?), though I think his name looks kinda squished there (making the bottom look 'heavier' than the top).
aww, for me?
Oops, I think I used too many emoticons

Thanks.
(I know, his name looks a bit squished, but honestly, where else could the name have gone without offsetting any 'balance'? It fit there by accident, actually . . . the sizing and such . . . Though, I did want to include his nickname, too . . . But didnt have space.--Thinking back on it, I probably could have made space.)
Ah, the lines . . . Actually, they didnt take that long at all, they really helped me smooth out the vector itself, allowing me to know exactly where to tweak everything!
You're welcome!
