"Unwind"

Done entirely in Illustrator:

Not nearly as good as, but definitely inspired by Shag (http://www.shag.com/).

Oh that's good, I've seen a lot of vector artwork used in advertising and that piece you did reminded me of it. Good job. =)

[lostinbeta]

:drool: I love Vector art!

That is a great Job Renny.


Hmm, a lush and a chain smoker in the same room... intriguing :cool: :P (sorry just HAD to point something out, and since there was nothing I disliked I had to make something up)

[reverendflash]

there is a bar here, named "The Red Room" which is very similar to your illustration...


very nice

::said like Mrs. Dupcek from 3rd Rock::

I'm so envious of you artists...

That should be the title instead!

[lostinbeta]

I could picture it now... in art galleries around the world...


"A Lush and a Chain Smoker" by Mrs. Ren Hub.lo

[RenaissanceGirl]

I'm sure my employers are especially thrilled that something called "A Lush and a Chain Smoker" is hanging in my office. Hey - at least I didn't go with the garden gnome theme!

When I get Illustrator (not IF... I will get it no matter what, its just I dunno when I can afford it) will you help me with it ? :beam:

I have use AI9 a few times here and there because a friend of mine has it, so I know how to use it, I just don't know how to create stuff like that :(

[Jyhad]

Very nice.. it reminds me a bit of 2 classsic pc games "day of the tentacle and monkey island".. they used a similar style in the game.. i love that style.. keep up the good work ;)

Do you even have to ask? You've got me your buddy list right? :beam:

My favorite part is the city sky line in the windows. Very nice detail. I would maybe changethe color of the pants on the back girl. The green seems to bright.

[Guig0]

that is soo charming... and soo stylish... :stunned:

in the best way, off course ;)



very nice ren! :A+:










it would be much to ask for the vector file, or a big jpg for me to print and make a poster?
if so, sorry for asking, but i really love this drawing :love:

WOO HOO! Yep, you are on my buddy list :) :love:

[telekinesis]

Congrats rengirl, that is amazing vector work, me definitely likes!

[morse]

Wait, clear something about Illustrator up... Is it like FH where you use a tablet?

[lostinbeta]

Illustrator can be used with a mouse or a tablet :sure:

And Morse: your footer is oversized and lags my system A LOT. Can you please change it?

[alethos]

WOW! I absolutely love that style!

Could you post the source vector file so I can dissasemble and learn from it, pretty please?

The only change I'd make is to the two green ceiling lamps. The perspective seems wrong on them. It looks like we're looking up at them, but really we're looking down on them. So in other words, I'd nix the lighter-green ovals. :)

I didn't use my tablet this time. I find it easier to use my mouse when doing vector.

Vector source files? It's not that complicated... just draw what you see... or imagine in this case. I think the key here was deliberately trying to not draw a "realistic" picture. Look at the walls and figures... all slanted and uneven.

[lostinbeta]

What tool do you use to draw Ren? Pen tool? Pencil Tool? Brush Tool? (so I know what to practice with if I ever get a chance to use AI again soon)

And this is exactly why I disable footers :)

[lostinbeta]

But I enjoy looking at footers! Although with the current state of my computer I might have to disable viewing them on my side :( :*( But seriously, My scrollbar, mouse, and everything lagged when going around on that page. It didn't happen when I was replying or when the second page came up and his footer wasn't there. And it doesn't happen anywhere else, so I am guessing it's his footer :-\

The pen tool is your friend :) I tried the pencil and brush tool with my tablet... but it didn't produce the results I desired (the line would adjust itself to some form that I usually didn't like). After trial and error, the pen tool/mouse combo has been the easiest... at least with my preferences.

[lostinbeta]

I figured it was the dreaded pen tool :-\ I have so many problems with those things...lol. Ok, I will practice that in Photoshop, it might help me better in Illustrator :) Thansk! :)

[mdipi]

I can imagine it right now...." And this ladies and Gentlemen is from 2003, we are not sure who exactly is the artist, it being 500 yrs old, but we can tell that the person was well ahead of the time and a very good artist indeed..."

[morse]

^^ Mdipi, 2Xing your post count by posting twice?

ok Lost, changed it for you :love:

[lostinbeta]

I deleted mdipis double post.

Morse: Sheesh... footer removed by Lostinbeta....lol. You removed it, I just told you too :P hehe.

[morse]

:) I know Lost, I just like giving you a hard time :P :P :P

*edit* plus my server is down :hair: so you would just get a big white spot */edit*

[lostinbeta]

I don't mind that there though... I find it funny :)

[reverendflash]

it's just because you are opinionated and self-serving lost...

great work with the vector !!!

there's an artist by the name of Kelly Hyatt that has a similiar style,
very swank. I think you can see some of her stuff on www.newdimension.com
pretty sure they rep her.

anyway congrats on da skillz!

[RenaissanceGirl]

What the heck is that site? Gay and Lesbian Guide Hawaiians?????

I've never heard of Kelly Hyatt, but again, this piece is along the artistic styling of Shag (http://www.shag.com/).

[ribcage]

Sorry for the mis-link!!!!

I meant to write newdivision.com, that is friggin hilarious that you winded up on a hawaiin gay & lesbian site instead.

Anyway , the compliment stands the art work looks great!
