I like the Kaede ones.. thats a given .. but I never knew you did a Carrier?
Carrier have arrived to my HD .. thats for sure ^^ Tracing is something I've learnt before.. but somehow the long time to do 1 trace turns me off =/ |

Whenever someone ask me about this, I always tell them beforehand about the insane amount of time this sort of thing takes. The Bleach one in particular took me almost a month to make. :eyespin: Then again, I am probably the slowest tracer around here. :heh: |
they look great! :D and those demonic eyes on ayu and shiori gives me the shivers :heh:
where do you get your BG ideas from? O.o they are simple but really affective ~ dam my unimaginative head >.< |

To be honest, I would prefer something more cooler and complex. I am actually very interested in seeing your vector complete with a similar background like the ones you use on your sigs. ;) |
w00t, you finally made your thread ! *drools*
i'm impressed how you involved in your vectors, especially the very good Asa and Mai. but seriously, i don't think you should mash your mind for the BG : if it is simple but effective, why bothering when you can make things worse? ^^" (yeah... kinda conservative as usual :heh:) i have to say that kaede vector looks rather clumsy to me (no offense, but the difference between this and the others are rather large... is it because of the source picture?) but yet, very good smooth colors ^^ duh, wish i could have enough patient and skills for some "average" vector ~~ |

I really like how the Kaede trace ended though; I'll try to post the source pic later for comparisons sake. Anyway, my next trace will probably be another Shuffle piece, so let's see how that one turns out. :heh: |
^ please say its Kareha .. please pretty please? With sugar on top?
:D |
^ From some of the WIP screens he post.. Photoshop.

I'll post some more source pics later on. :) EDIT: Ok, here they are: http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/9711/2200ah9.th.jpg http://img93.imageshack.us/img93/896...3xu5qg5.th.jpg http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/812...4zv1qz4.th.jpg http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/8...utsuxq4.th.jpg Quote:
Clearing the face of some hair, to give the eyes more "room" to shine, is one of the things I do most often with my traces. I also dont believe in always making a 100% perfect copy of the source, so I sometimes re-draw a lot of parts while tracing. Check out her hands and her handbag to see some of the changes I did there. The eyes, the details in her shirt and many other little things are in fact different. Of course, this is actually a very recent development in my work, so my older traces dont show such little changes (and I dont plan on always do those changes) Anyway, I am very impressed that you actually noticed. You are the first person ever to comment on such things. That's certainly worth a cookie. :) Oh, and to put things in perspective; Mai's boobs are actually smaller in my trace (22) and yet, nobody in the Kanon image thread actually noticed (or commented about it) :heh: And yes, the source pic was also there. >_<!! |

I sometimes notice that the hair literally stops/ends where the eyes begin, thus following the curve of the upper part of the eye itself. I made the curve, but it's mostly a shorter version of the one already there. Another thing I forgot to mention is the black outlines themselves. I dont always want to cut the hair, but if too much black gets together in a small place (i.e: the eyes) it could end up looking somewhat unbalanced in certain places. This is mostly the reason why I stopped using brush size 4 px since trace # 07. Still, trying to look things from your own POV; One solution could be ditching the black outlines completly. I have been tempted to do it a couple of times in the past, but always change my mind at the very last minute. :p I'll keep your comment in mind for future traces (except for the next one; I already chopped the hair there :heh: ), Although I must admit to be quite proud of those little changes, since it's probably the only thing that makes my trace a bit more different than the rest. :) .......Almost like a signature. :heh: EDIT: Oh heck, I already break the 1000 post mark without even noticing. :heh: :eyespin: |

Thanks for the feedback. It really means a lot. :) :) Quote:
I'll try to have my next trace ready before the first week of the next months ends. |

It's part 1 of a 3 phase project, so I am holding the update here until I can get the whole thing complete. This are the traces I mentioned a few posts back when I said "Too late to changes the curved hair now" by the way. :heh: As for the trace posted............. I wanted to try some effects, (like in my sig) but I could never get them to work right on the trace; So right now, I am hoping to be able to include something more fancy in the final version instead of the RAW traces that I have been doing until now. :p I think I can have something ready (part 2) in a week or so. :) EDIT: OK, I was finally able to improve the Asa trace. Two versions are now posted in the Shuffle image thread for comparison sake. >_< !! |
I had seen your traces before Daniel E in Bleach SubSection . I didnt know a thread exsisted for them . One word to describe your traces Awesome , kudos dude great job :D
|
That's some really nice work there Daniel :) It seems you use a similar method to me, with the Pen tool? I have to ask: How do you get your outlines so smooth and non-jaggy? It's bugging me considerably that mine turn out jaggy, likely due to the way I do it.
