Artist Comment

edit | yay my second elite XD thank you so much!
also lighter colors version


time & effort: god no comment, like three weeks on and off? number of days i slaved was probably like 6 or 7.
layers: ~350
program: photoshop cs2
easiest part: lineart for sure
hardest part: the shading, especially on their clothes
original scan: thanks to thuyngoc
textures: the ones that came with photoshop (i know i'm so lame)

i felt like making it flawless but in the end i got tired to staring at its unfinished status and decided i just had to stick it out and finish it. the product is not as detailed or nice as i had intended, but at least its FINALLY finished

changes to the scan | so i really did want to do the branches and the spooky background but so many of the colors were already really dark so i decided to go with a screen door instead. i love the rose pattern, vectored from the original scan. i was going to make a more detailed outside but its so small that it wasnt worth it. there are some sad sad clouds that you can barely see because i got tired of painting them. i also wanted to do the other cake and the fruit but i was too lazy. its really sad about the fruit though because that was my favorite part of the scan --". i kinda hate the green box in front but believe me without it the space was so empty even with the pattern on the carpet. the chocolate box was too blurry and i didnt feel like referencing. that shrug thing coming from the couch also looked weird so i took it out almost forgot, i did pleats instead of ruffles. the shading on that is also horrible but not going to redo them. i think the pleats are blahhh but yea not gonna change them. and the ugly thing hanging from the couch frame doesnt really fit but i didnt want to reconstruct more pleats

coloring | god the file size was huge (650mb WTF?!?! originally the about 50% of the image was vectored at 200% of the published size but the file wouldnt even open properly so i had to make it smaller.) so making changes is such a pain in the ass. therefore i think some of the colors dont match well with the surrounding elements. the wood on his chair looks too bright compared to the screen door

textures and painting | first published work that i really painted, well only parts anyways. thanks to berry-chan for suggesting/encouraging me to try it (you have no idea how much i did NOT want to try this). omg the shading on their clothes are horrid, just ignore them. i seriously did them about 7 times and it still didnt look right so i just gave up and put some texture to ease the pain. in retrospect i should have textured the curtains T_T. i know someone is going to want the entire thing textured but honestly i kinda hate textures. i havent really gotten into downloading brushes and textures yet (although i will have to eventually if i want to do monochrome).

overall there are some parts i really adore. i like the pink roses, and i vectored them like two weeks after i vectored the blue ones so sorry that the style is so different. i feel like it should be consistent but the pink ones are so pretty i didnt want to erase them. and his shoes are lovely, i want a pair! (i saw similar style ballerinas in germany but when i went back for them they were gone)

and there are some parts i really really hate but what's done is done. i couldnt procrastinate this anymore and it was bothering me that it wasnt finished.

of course comments/critiques are welcome. sometimes i do change things, but i dont know for this scan it might be too tough. as i mentioned before the file size it like jfkldsjlfds

also thanks to everyone who supported me on this scan, even if it was just saying that you were excited for it. you have no idea how much that motivated me to finish it, otherwise it probably would have been dropped.

especially the following people to whom this vector is dedicated =]

    I still can't add you to my watchlist...I'm missing works again ;__;

    I'm all germy and sicky so let me be quick on this,
    I've noticed the dark trade mark you'be got going now.
    When I logged in I knew this was yours and clicked instantly,
    I like how you use different color lines for each item in the vector.
    Gives them a chance to stand out and makes it easier for them to flow
    with their inside color, I will say for it to be so dark it makes
    it difficult to let them blend but it's not as bright so it works well anyways.

    I'm kinda bothered by how dark the two
    boys are while the background is a light, sexy tone.
    They look like two black figures just there, the servant is the darkest
    of all but I've seen screencaps and I think it fits for him XD

    I have to say, you have alot of patience and it's
    nice to see you use them so nicely and make big vectors
    rather than single ones like myself (kitten ish lazy).

    Great job on this one and I hope to see more <3
    Gotta keep checking that watchlist...

  5. dslassey Oct 06, 2008

    I had a feeling this was your's (the tone is quite similar to your last submittion).
    I just can't believe my hunch was correct. XD
    I like the dark, almost sepia-ish tones you use (kinda like a lot of the colors are filtered with a yellow-y rust color). It looks rather elegant in my opinion.
    It's cool how the darkness of the characters are focusing the eyes towards the center of the wallpaper - very nice.
    The background is pretty awesome. Makes me realize that I need to take my time to actually add backgrounds to my wallpaper. ^_^'

    I'll be looking forward to some more vectors from you. :D

  16. vitaamin Oct 10, 2008

    KYAH omg its an elite O_O thank you!

  17. Straawbeeryy Oct 10, 2008

    I`m so glad I saw this and sorry for the late comment. Blame my internet problems. x.x Now let`s get to your vector. :D
    You tried painting. Hurray! I really liked how it turns out. Alot of places are ultra smooth so good job. The only place that the painting isn`t smooth like others is on the face of the servant... the long hair one. You should smudge is out more to get the chocolate-y feel of the other places.
    Your lines are really well done. It`s so bold in some places. XD
    I agree with Kitten on how the background is all bright and in sexy tones while the boys are dark is a bit bothersome. Even so, I love what you did with the background. I love roses <3. o.O
    Another big plus is you vectored out everything~ It shows so much more effort.
    And thanks for the dedication. :] I`ll make you something too.
