---------------

Dedicated to moonescape: She has been my best friend at MT since I got here, and has always helped me when I needed it. I also look up to her as a very talented artist. Lately she seems to be kind of down, and I can relate to that, so I hope this vector will cheer her up a bit. Moon-chan, for you ^_^.

Ah, finally, the set is complete! I finished Lacus. I know, it took a while. Forgive me. Well, here's the story: I actually planned on making this gift for Moon-chan a while ago; I was going to vector it from the little pic found here. But then the full-size scans were submitted, and although I was saved of a lot of hard work (vectoring that little pic would be difficult) now I knew I had to hurry, because others were going to start vectoring her. However, everyone was really really nice and let me be the first to do Lacus, even though I know others were interested in vectoring her, so I lucked out. Arigatou minna ^_^. (And isn't it ironic; when the scans came out Moon-chan said, "Please tell me you're going to vector Lacus!" Heh, little did she know it was already planned for her.)

The vector wasn't so easy. Now I know why everyone let me vector her; no one wanted to do Lacus's clothes! Lol, just kidding. But it really did drive me crazy, all the little folds and lines on her outfit...grr. Oh well, it's done now. What annoys me though is that, again, when I save it as a jpeg the colours all change, and I hate it, but I don't know how to fix it (anyone?). But in the .psd file it looked perfect, you can see it here.

As for the BG...green isn't really my colour, nor is it Lacus's...but I think it worked best here. I made a version where Lacus's outfit is dark red, so pretty...I'm going to use it for my layout, I think ;)

Hardest Part: Clothes
Easiest Part: Eyes
Most fun part: Hair

Time: 16.5 hrs
Days: 2...very...long...vector-ful days....
Layers: 35

I'll admit I felt the pressure with this vector ^_^;. I felt rushed to finish it, but I didn't want to do a bad job. I'm jealous of all you people with Illustrator now...I always hear, "It's faster, easier, straighter, better"...but I don't have it :(. Oh well, no need to rush anything else.

Moon-chan, I hope you like your gift! Any comments, faves, and full views will make me very happy :) Now, can I go rest and maybe eat something and watch the new Naruto episode? Ha ha, I think I'll do that. Ja'ne! (Oh, and sorry for the long description, but hey, I lack sleep.)

[EDIT] Ugh, the thumbnail looks so dull...stupid Photoshop...
[EDIT2] Hey, I was able to fix the colours a bit! Yay! It looks better now!

    Nice level of detail in the art. Feels like she has a bit of a male body type with the straight shoulders.
