Gundam SEED Stargazer -
So this is my first try at a vector trace...or whatever its called. [I guess vector isn't really accurate, since no
math was harmed in the making of this image :) ]
Anyway, like I said, I've never tried this before because I don't have any sophisticated [i.e. expensice]
software. That's when I came across this lovely image by Sabbathiel made in GIMP. GIMP is an opensource
program and it's really cool. I'm so in love. So, for those of you out there like me who can't shell out
for Adobe, try it.
OK, the original scan can be found here
[Stargazer doesn't have a home on MT yet, so I guess it can crash at big brother's for a while]
Layers: 20 or so
Hours: 20 or so [I learned the program as I went along...first day I spent 7 hours just geting the outline the way i
wanted]
The left shoulder isn't on the page of the scan on MiniTokyo, so I found a really really low res copy and pretty
much rebuilt it from scratch, so please forgive the funky armpit...I really wasn't sure how to make it right.
Please leave me any notes on mistakes you see...
I already know that, yes, I left out the eyebrows on purpose [I think he looks better without]
After I converted it I noticed some anomolies with the lines on his hand and the tip of hair strand on the
right
I hope you like...and since i still have no ideas for a wallpaper, someone please feel free. :)
Oh, I think his name is Sven...and there is already a 1/144 model of the Strike Noir for sale!
