First attempt @ vector

This is my first attempt at vector stuff - I started out with a picture of my girlfriend - it was her birthday and I indended it as a gift...
Only Photoshop used - the pen tool - I have all bits and pieces saved as custom shapes and as paths - I didn't know which I'd be needing lol
- I thought it would be much more complicated - but I'll say this - it takes a looong time....
So here goes:

small
extra large - more detail

quiet good dude! ~ !
was the pic o the woman based on anyone?



wish i could do that wouldnt even no how to start one

looks cool...

leaning slightly to the left....
rotate her!

also, use a gradient as the background, vector art looks really clean against gradients....

smooth work

(you say thats from a photo!?!?)

(you say thats from a photo!?!?)

yeah - taken by me:D - I won't show it to you though - some clothes I added myself as they were not present in the photo...

ooh, nice. i saw you put it on your site. the girl's face reminds me of carrie ann moss for some reason.

I love the body and the shadows..
The face is a bit more plain than the rest of the image..
But still nice...

uhh - yeah - the reason the face is plainer is that somehow the colors for the face were not saved real good the shadows were subtler there than on the rest of the body- I don't know - maybe I've screwed up somewhere. I know I was supposed to use a lot less colors but since it was my first time I really wanted to see how "realistic" I could get.

congrats u masterd it already
