I'd write this on all the vectors I've seen lately, but some people would
consider it spam so I'll post it here.
I am so impressed with the vectors that have been uploaded recently. Some of
them look so much like the original art it's scary. I am so pleased with the
amount of talent we have on Minitokyo, and I would like to encourage people to
keep up the good work It's
looking great!
I've never tried illustrator....I'm guessing it takes a bit of time
(understatement I'm sure) to get used to it and actually turn out something
worthwhile...
Hmmm... my thoughts on this :
vectors become popular these days because it produces super high-quality images
to be made into a wallpaper, or for other purposes such as custom posters,
wallscrolls, etc. Sometimes it can be wayy much better than the original scanned
material...
I myself doing vectors because sometimes screenshots can look good as wallpaper
material
Yeah, and if the original artist doesn't issue the original artwork for that
pose and/or composition, we might as well make it ourselves... lol...
oh, and a tip from me to all who wants to do vectoring : you can also use
Photoshop to make vectors... although... yes... it wouldn't be as good (and
crisp) as Illustrator, but if you do it properly, it will produce similar
result... I think it's easier in some way...
Thank you very much. Although
I submitted one vector so far, I do have another one coming. Next time, however,
I will post a link to the original scan.
Minitokyo scared people away from my latest vector with the horrible thumbail.
But your right, I've been seeing some amazing vectors from members here. Such
high quility. ^_^
Well i just have 3 vectors on my gallery,and each time i learn something new
thanx to the comments,im using Photoshop cause when i try to use the
Illustrator,i just went crazy cause there is a difference between those
programs.
And i agree with KorganoS,sometimes u can find a good wall material from a
screenshot or a scan that have a bad quality,so for that,u can make a vector
for it,is the twice of work,but when u see the final result,that hard job is all
worthy.

yeah, when you didn't have any good material scanned or maybe you don't have a
clear image you only can do a vector... for me it's more easy use the pen tool
in Illustrator than in Photoshop for the artline, but it's more easy put the
colors with photoshop... ^^
...and yeah, there's many people with talent in this type of works! keep the
good working!!!
myu~! vectors! i have noooo idea on how to do vectors in illustrator :X but i
intend to learn soon. vectoring can widen your walling materials :3 some
screenies are really nice and would be great to capture it's essence with good
quality to boot ^.~
lol, I thought you were going to rant about them not being good enough
well personally I think there's way too many, and the vector category should be
part of the doujin-wall-abstract-scans, not the series :/
Vectors...it's cool and stuff, but sometimes I don't think they should be in the
doujinshi section for some reason O_o But that's just me, I shouldn't say
anymore ^^; Cuz if I do, something always happens.
BTW, I think vectors are cheap ways to get leveled up ;___; I mean, what ever
happened to your own, original work? But who am I to complain O_o I vector as
well, I just don't submit them.

my thoughts exactly
anyway, yeah, I've seen so many vectot lately and most of em are done quite very
nicely. and I personally like vector since they can look alot better than any
scans. ^_^
Yeah I haven't uploaded any vectors yet but I might. Usually I vector the pic
then wall them. In fact Im spending more time vectoring...I guess it's fun and
interesting. Im very influenced by the Vector Diva Tama Neko.

Hehehe~ totally. The first
few vectors I ever saw (well.. make that the first few dozen..) were by her.
Inspirational, to be true.
<-is slow. I haven't technically vectored yet, per se, but like Korgie and
Rsk, I use the Photoshop pen tool a lot (but for me, it's regular colouring).
*cheers to nuri and everyone else* Here's to
fine art and a high-quality future!
Thinking carefully... almost all the gallery items i have posted are original
vectors of mine (yes, they were vectorial pictures before they were painted).
I'm glad there are so much talented artists here also so, thanks Nuriko (for the
part which touches me...) and also i'd like to encuourage people to post more
vectors, and original ones, like mines!

I only agree with the first part of this post, being that Vectors shouldn't be a
part or subcatagory of "Doujinshi".
The second part I take personal offense to, as I have worked very hard on my
best Vector piece (and still will be working to on it), my Yohko Yamamoto
vector. It's not like I can work on this when I'm not in the mood, or have no
free time because of work. It's currently ranked #4 most favorite submitted
item in my gallery and took a heck of a lot more time and effort to do than the
3 scans ranked ahead of it.
I guess I'm just a little frustrated that scans that took maybe a minute or so
to make the digital file of get more recognition than personal works or vectors
that take a heck of a lot more time, effort and concentration.
edit later: Sorry. Didn't mean to lower moral of this thread. I do think it's
a great thing that there are so many people are trying their hand at vectoring
and asking for other's advice. That's one of the best things I like at MT.
Aha... Last I heard, the Vector Category set up shop months ago. Wah, I agree
with KorganoS on the vectors being better than the scans. Just take a look at this one. I mean,
wow!
Yeah, I also think that it shouldn't be under Doujinshi 'cause vectoring is just
manipulation of the original material (just like in wallpapers! *heart*).

Yeah, everyone's been taking a stab at vectoring and turning out to be really good at it. You're good at it too.
Only a month or so before I get my hands on Illustrator and I can have a bash too
.

hear Nuri ^^ congrats to all amazing vector artists who are submitting their hq work here :]

KEEP UP THE awesome STUFF!
Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is a vector?
Well i just have 3 vectors on my gallery,and each time i learn something new thanx to the comments,im using Photoshop cause when i try to use the Illustrator,i just went crazy cause there is a difference between those programs.

thanks Nuriko-chan , anyway , next time i will post the link to the original scan , and i will keep it up...
Hmm, I never really looked into the vectors images....
Guess right now it good time to start as any. (Maybe I should get into it too....)

Maybe it would be wise to create a category for them, isn't it? though is hard to tell when an image is a vector or not... ^^U
