Ohh, I love xxxHOLIC.
You did a good job on the vector, looks very crisp and clean lines.
My only grip is her hair behind her kimono going on her back, the top one look to be in her kimono pattern. Needs a bit
on thickness on the edge so it looks like it's lying on top of her back, rather than flat.
Good work all in all. :D

Original Name Before Finish: The Spring Will Wait For Us
ARGHHH! This vector has got to be the most difficult piece of art I've ever worked on. This makes Tropical and the Ouran look like a breeze---A tropical breeze, that is. ;)
But I digress. >>
First there was Yuuko's hair. I figured, "It'll be a snap!" But my eyes are bigger than my abilities. It took me nearly two hours with slight pausing to fix the gaps and straighten the jagged lines, and to me it's still imperfect. But it's the best I could do.
Secondly there is the cage. THE CAGE! *faints* I would've given up right then and there if I wasn't so persistent. Once I finished outlining it the first time I realized that the cage was all bent out of shape. Correcting that I shaved one more hour of wasted time until I was able to continue outlining.
Finally is the border. My first impression, again, was "This will be a snap!" But again my eyes lacked confidence. I ultimately had to use the Stroke to make the circles because making the circles on my own would be hard to accomplish perfectly.
All in all, this is the result of sweating bullets, tears, and persuasion. Now I need another art to vector, I am running out of ideas. >_<
Please comment.
EDIT: Corrected color leakages and altered a strand of Yuuko's hair which seemed more like an outline than a strand. Thank you all for your keen eyes! =3

Way to go girl! i can't wait to see more ! -
Now i hate you >_>
This is totally gorgeous, i love the cage, it looks fantastic.
hmm..there some little spots where the color gets out of the outlines..
But anyway, :D ´fav -
Amazing! O.O I could never make vectors like that!
-
as always, nicely done Jessica! I love your vectors!
-
Wow nice vectoring! I wish I could do that! Def fav!
-
:D i like your vector soo much! XD
-
wow, everything is done really nicely :D the vectoring is wonderfully done and the colours are nicely chosen :) the cage looks wonderful and the border looks nice :D lovely vector ^^
-
wow, i love how you did her clothes and the background looks nice :D its nice and clean and everything looks great :) lovely work~^^
-
yay you finished it! and wow, nice vector! great details, and yeah, I can see why the cage took you so long. (I'd never have the patience to finish it >.< )
-
i have not much to say about this vector besides...."OH-MY-GOD!"*faints aswell*, the cage is great! the characters are great! the background is great! ....and even the spots are great!......ok, maybe everything about this vector is great*haha*
well it is a great job, well done it belongs in my favourites for safe keeping XD
-
The top of the cage could use some more refinement. The widths of the bands are not well proportioned. This flaw irks me since the rest of the vector is well done.
Good job.
-
Some places have flawsm though I guess it can't be avoided when it comes to frustrating tears when working on xxxHolic scans >_< I'm gonna propose this to be a main highlight at Vectory, let's just hope that Kashi-chan will agree :)
-
You are great at vectoring. :) I have seen the scan before, but haven't looked at it closely. ^_^' For me this is flawless and you did such a beautiful job with the lineart and I admire the soft shading very much. Awesome work. I hope you don't mind me suggesting doing a Code Geass vector. Check out the gallery, you are sure to fine a lovely scan to vector from that serie. ;)
-
very very good. I like it, and the resolution as well.
-
This is a beautiful wallie of xxxHOLiC! I love how sharp and clear the characters are. It's quite lovely and very summery.
-
You're persistent in vectoring this wallie is so outstanding. I salute you for your hardwork and determination. Definitely a fav!
-
This is absolutely beautiful! You did an awesome job in touching it up. It looks perfect now! Your hard work paid off well. I like the pink background! It's no wonder this is in the elite gallery. I love it! Thanks so much for sharing! Definitely to my favs! Keep up the good job too! ^^
-
Man, your wallies rock my socks! This one is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you

This is a gorgeous vector that you've accomplished here. I could image that it would have taken forever and it is a very difficult image to work with. Great job and keep up the beautiful work.
-
Beautiful~ the colors are all soothing and soft to fit the whole vector. Nicely done! The only flaw I spotted was on the glasses of the guy. The right lens of his glasses is a bit...off. It doesn't look well defined in it's oval shape. And there seems to be an extra line on the left side of his face as well.
But overall it's very sharp and clear.
