Wow… got beat by sheep. O_o
Man can they fly.
I should have pimped this more. I’m hoping to finish within the top 50; fierce competition though.

Ugh, that really sucks. That must have been kinda freaky.
I wish I would have taken a screen shot, but did anyone else just see that top 7 weirdness?
Numbers 5-7 were numbers 1-7 (in the fog)

Bah out of the top 10 for me. Just didn’t get enough votes.
I just want to know the next theme. =x lol

By the way, Edgar is making a bit of a run. go Edgar, go!

ha. sorry. The fog was actually 5th - 8th place and 5th - 8th place was still 5th - 8th place. I even refreshed a couple times and it didn’t change until i went off the site and came back.
Strange.

that is really odd. I’d guess it was your browser.
I’m doing basically the same thing, except I don’t lightbox and I do trace by hand in illustrator. You get so much more clarity that way it isn’t even funny- the fact is, the human eye will always be more effective than a computer (er, at least for the forseeable future).
I think your work has potential, and that you would improve the quality of your cartoons greatly by working on the vectors more. Here are some tutorials that might help you out. I don’t think any pros are livetracing, it’s just not accurate enough.
Thank you so much Geekfactor. You have helped me so much. I am playing around with this stuff now and getting pretty excited about my next entry. I’ll post one of the things I am doing now to show the difference.
Yeah, that seems to have come at the price of my SPIRIT this week. You should read some of the comments on my entry page.
Daisies are pretty fresh I hear…
daises are for pansies!
I do like this better than when you submitted it to TL with lighter colors -

Thanks cho. I also hope I place. If not for the money, for the fame!
Alright!!! I have a new way to draw! It might not change my style but it is completely due to Geekfactor. Thank you so much for showing me the Photoshop light
What do you all think? Here is a quick one I did showing old style and new style let me know if you see the improvement. Thanks again.

I think you really nailed the scarf, the lines you used look exactly like shadows on the fabric

Looks great! It’s crisp and clean but still didn’t lose that hand-drawn look. How did you do it? Oh and I’m gonna look past your use of Comic Sans for now. heh

Thank you so much. It was my first effort. By the time I got to the scarf I was getting more familure with the lines and curves. This is awesome and I agree that as I learn this more it will be the thing that my art is lacking.
Sometimes I do similarly, but for example when I re-did my citizenship effort with robots I just used the pen tool to outline my robots, actually creating a silhouette of black and then filling in the innards with non-outlined, color filled shapes. Does that make sense? I actually thought it gave an interesting look to the robots, and though it took a little planning to do it that way, it worked out really nicely.
Yeah I thought it looked really good on the resub too.
