there’s also another REALLY impressive site i’ve been to that has lots of top quality, Flash-made vector images. Because they’re in flash, the person has also put a cool feature in where you can highlight certain areas and it zooms in for a close up… nice!=)

unfortunately i can’t remember the URL ☹ so unless someone else knows what i’m talking about, then i can’t actually direct you to the site…

anyhow, the point is: flash vector art is good

now please enjoy this fezzed emoticon ----\> C:-)

heeey i found the site!

i was looking in the cool sites section at flashkit, and there was a topic about ‘needing help finding site again’ and it was about some tech-y site (maybe xeofreestyle?)… anyhow, someone else just happened to ask about the site i was talking about just before…freaky huh?

sorry about the ramble, i just thought it was weird

now, all enjoy this site, and then cry because you can’t do vector art like this (unless you can, in which case i’m REALLY jealous 😱 )

_sigh_, too much rambling again

Alot of peeps who use flash for there vector cheat a lil bit. Because if you bring any regular photo into flash and do a trace bit map set your thresholds and things of that nature. Then _presto_ you have a vector art masterpiece. It is not cheatin in the bad sense. But it is not time consuming at all. I believe microbians did that in a few of his pics. BUt the site is still awesome

I find that vector (or line) art is so much easier to do in Flash. I’ve got Illustrator, but I never really use it. Probably because I don’t really have the first clue where to begin with it, it’s a very heavy program.

Flash has all that I need for the time being - I only use the line tool to do my drawings then a plain fill. Never a gradient. I like to try and get all the shading etc by hand, as it were.

I have to say though that it’s not really much of a skill, tracing over a scanned in image. The hard bit is drawing your image on paper in the first place. Once you’ve got that then you’re away and it’s just a matter of practice. 🙂

perhaps, but your work is always top quality, and it’s not as if you can just do that without any skill/effort

i think that while the concept is easy enough, pulling it off and ending up with a GOOD finished product takes talent and patience

good luck with your attempts calaway 🙂
