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 =]
my internet also decided to DIE right before submitting this. i had to wait like a whole day before submitting and i
almost cried
