"You're in my head I pray for your voice every time I slip away Though I don't understand The reason I'm grounded here in eternity" This song is amazing, also hooray, I finally make sense in a thread title. The source picture itself is Low Quality because I took a screencap of one of his performances, because I couldn’t find a good HQ picture of him holding THAT TRIPLE-NECKED GUITAR and I really wanted to make this. As before, this is an experiment to step out of my comfort zone. CnC is appreciated, welcomed and thanked for, as usual. Yeah I know the colors are probably too strong (Because the original’s picture’s colors were kind of washed out) and the Pentooling probably takes attention from Vai himself to the guitar. That’s why I’m posting this, so I can get some critique and improve on this piece. Or at the least take some notes for the next piece. c:
This is awesome but I think it would be perfect if you took the time to turn the stock into a vector graphic! It would likely make the pentooling add to the piece rather than steal the spotlight from the great effects on the top and to the right. I usually don't like c4d's for personal reasons but I feel one would actually fit here. And play with the dodge and burn tools they're pretty useful.
Honestly, the only thing stopping me from doing this it's the fact I haven't done a vector art in God-knows-how-long, and the only times I did them I did them with cartoon/anime characters, who had their shadings being pretty marked on, this is a real person's picture, so I don't know if I can accomplish it. But I'll probably give it a try sometime. Anyways, thanks for all your critique! EDIT: Actually, I pulled something decent before I go to sleep, I'll post it here for the sake of experimentation: EDIT 2: Looking at this Vector... I better move the light source to the left lol.
