178 x 155 pixels

178 pixels across and 155 pixels down. Enticement to vector, yes. Very much yes.


(If you don't see it, just click on the image. This is because it is all in black lines and the background in transparent, effectively camouflaging it completely.)

3000 x 2531 pixels. Not epicly well done but I like the end result anyway. Time to completion, less than 3 hours. Done in flash. I need to learn to vector with illustrator dammit.

Vectoring Images

to be honest, if there was some sort of magical way to vector images easily, i would do it. but so far, i haven't found anything reliable that can do that as of yet. so i though, why not i learn it myself? asking a few people i know here and there and voila, i began to vector my first image ever.

of course, there are a number of images i wanted to vector. but given that this is my first time, i wanted a to vector something i truly desired. unfortunately the resolution of that particular picture is too small for an amateur like me to handle. so i headed for what is second best.



of course i don't intend to vector the entire image but merely mio-chan there in the middle. eventually i may or may not vector mugi and yui though it is very likely that i would.

through much time and guesswork, i finally finished vectoring mio-chan.



this is mio-chan of K-On! version 0.1a.

so far, the only other version is 0.1b though the only change is that the hair reflection has no black border so i don't see the point of uploading it. after all, this image is pretty large.

the image is 3800 x 4065 pixels with 32 bit depth. since i was vectoring it, it is only common to super-size it this much, right?

personally i think it could have been better. i'm a little disappointed that i can't put in the blush on her face without making her look retarded. nevertheless, i find this piece of work satisfying for me.

i wouldn't know why you would want to but you can feel free to download and use the image. though please remember to credit me.

EDIT: in the twenty minutes where i was reviewing my vectored images, i realized that the white gap in the lower right hand side of her hair was supposed to be transparent. though i have corrected it in my laptop, the image above remains wrong. if you wish to use it, you may want to correct that error first.
