What no critiques yet?? This has got a sweet grundgy feel to it! Your style is pretty unique, and I like to see difference on here one and a while! I hope more people open up to this kinda work. This pic especially! +8

Another really good piece . I reckon you've got a real handle on your time, so now everyone else has to catch up (it's always the way) +10

thanx for the critiques, joe, this is pretty normal for me, i have posted in a lot of places from deviant art to raster to blogs and blog communities....always a high number of views, and a low number of critiques....why? i have my guess's most revovle around peoples lack of art history knowledge, i think since i sit outside of most modern schools of digital art, and draw from my 5 years of working at an art museum, i'm more of an artists artist....

arabon, i like your new icon, your work is progressing as fast as mine though, so i don't think i'm leaving anyone behind...

Oh, I love this! Great hair she has and I love the pinks! <3

keith

really cool! i love the face

aww shes cute! cute lips and nose.

kittykat - somewhere in the range of 6 to 8 hours, but i was screwing around with a larger color pallette before i went to pinks...so it was a lot of exprimenting i threw out...

abstractor - yeah i've spent a lot of time worrying about pleasing punk bands, and industrial djs...so i kind of naturally developped a harsher treatment of lines, the music moves it...

amik and message - its a model i know in the local scene, i'll pass it on to inflate her head a bit more...

I think the overall color scheme reflects well of the subject matter. I agree with all of the praise above. Good job!

I just bounced in from the 'Should Tracers be Gutted and Hung Out for the Crows' forum thread thingy...I liked your honest 'who gives a damn' approach to the subject Peter (my views precisely)...I like your work more tho and this ones my fav...

"amik and message - its a model i know in the local scene, i'll pass it on to inflate her head a bit more..."...............inflate it more from me...she pretty!

You know the funny thing?...I don't even know what a 'vector' is...never heard of the things before joining GFX

okay here's the low down on vector, vector is actually in technical terms a form of rendering a computer does, there are two types of rendering done in the realm of 2d digital art...raster and vector, illustrator and freehand and xara use vector which means that the line you make is representative of a stroke, and the computer will smoothe it out and remember it as sort of a loose form...raster on the other hand is very exact, each pixel is that pixel and nothing else, that is the setting of photoshop, where pixels are very important, due to the fact that your working with a photo...if you stretch a vector the computer compensates, if you stretch a raster you blur the image...thats being said, vector as an art form is a recent upheaval due to a large amount of proffessional gfx designers moving over to vector based image processing, see its easier to change sizes and DPI for printing in vector settings...so lots of good artists have taken it up...and are creating a very recognizable style using vector, very smooth lines, and liquidy feeling colors is the hallmark of the style...

i don't use vector, but i learned some techniques from vector painters, mainly blocking and highlighting, i tend to create like a vector painter would, so people tell me it looks vector....but in reality all of my pieces are raster, because there made in photoshop...another tendency of vector artists is to use colors like i do, solid bold colors and shapes...instead of brush strokes...this being said a lot of vector artists use a subtle color range for skin tones or even white, this is mainly a direct inspiration from patrick nagel an artist who was very popular in the 80s

there you go everything you need to know about vector...

nice work!!!

Funky colours!!!!

that's really cool.. the purple and the black work well together.
but what i really don't understand is why you don't work with freehand or illustrator (or something like that)? as you said, you could print nice big posters or something..
i mean if you paint it like vectors, why not make it real vectors?

wow really cool! good job!

cool! love your style.. ^_^

wow! great color & sharp/choppy edges... love subject's urban feel...
+10 in my book!

This one's great!

Yes, very good!

It almost looks like a wood cut done in illustrator. Nice... I like the colour scheme also.

i just love it

I've browsde through your gallery with delight (I'm actually a sucker for vectors, though I'm not very talented with them!) and this is my favourite of all! It's so expressive and it has wonderful colors (I'm also a sucker for pink... XD)

all your works have an electric look to them. Its awesome. This pic has to be my favorite.

This is sweet! I definately like what you got going on here. You got a real cool style. Keep it up! +7/7

This is one vector that really pulls your imagination in.
How are these things created anyway?

95% of all the work is done with the polygon select tool, and the fill tool...

Reminds me of Japan if Pam is the queen of vectors, you are definatley the king, great stuff.

wow +9

whoa nice work, man! i really dig your style
