Radium learned VECTORS =D

[Radium]

I drew this picture of an ugly evil looking guy.

However, the lines and coloring were done with nothing but VECTORS =D. And VECTORS are like MAGIC and can do MAGIC things. This is VECTOR person guy scaled down... with perfect quality!

This is VECTOR person guy scaled up, with perfect quality! Because I can!

This is VECTOR person guy after I pushed a bunch of buttons in the vector controls! It's like MAGIC!

Uhm... yeah. Vectors > Bitmaps.

[BlazinDragon]

nice ;D that VECTOR GUY looks purely evil ;)

[Doubble Dutch]

He don't look so ugly, I see worse when I look in teh mirror. Nice self portrait though.

What program did you use? Illustrator? Fireworks?

[Radium]

What program did you use? Illustrator? Fireworks?
PSP7. Aren't I so old fasion? =D

[cooba]

Solstice in vectors would be 1337.

[Radium]

I can't draw trees. Notice that every tree I draw either looks like a rocket ship on a stick or disembodied intestines.

[cooba]

Well, do Helives then =)

[Fawriel]

Well, do Helives then =)
*mutters something and glances at Rad*

[Radium]

Well, do Helives then =)
I can't because I don't own the copyrights to him. Make Faw do it.

[cooba]

Only because Helivesses are supposed to be Elvis zombies?

[Fawriel]

Mostly because Faw made monster sprites for Tales of Uberbob as a favor for Radium.

[Batty Buddy]

Que Passa!!!!

Vectors forever!!!

[Radium]

Vectors forever!!!
You are not allowed to say that because you still have not learned the Way of the VECTOR. And the "E", "C", "T", "O", and "R" have to be capitalized because the word is MAGIC.

[Risp_old]

VECTORS are MAGIC.

[Strato]

VECTORS make life like fired chicken lima broth beans

[Batty Buddy]

Sorry... I am a lowly peasent who is not fit to lick the feet of VECTORS... Forgive my imputence.

[MoonBlazE]

That looks like an Acolyte.

[Muffin]

He's even cooler than bacon bits. :O

[Radium]

That looks like an Acolyte.
More like something between an Acolyte and that Final Fantasy mage guy.

[Strato]

but is his hygiene even comperable to either of these said beings?

[Risp_old]

More like something between an Alcolyte and that Final Fantasy mage guy.
Which one?

[Captain Spam]

That looks like an Acolyte.

And by that you mean it also looks like any generic hooded evil guy, right? :-)

The trick with vector drawing is that it requires you to think STRICTLY in terms of shapes and lines in order to make it look right, which is something I've never been able to pull off. I'd say you did a cool job with it, Rad.

[Hare]

sweeeet. Isn't this the same kind of stuff that you have to do to make flash animations?

[Radium]

sweeeet. Isn't this the same kind of stuff that you have to do to make flash animations?
Yup, same thing.

And if anyone's wondering, MB is referring to one of these little guys (which actually are where I got the idea for the clothing):

[Lark]

Awesome. Are VECTORs difficult to do?

[Kaz]

Rad makes it look easy, so they must be >D.

Describe to us the process so we may make cheap ripoffs :| .

I like it btw.

[Radium]

Describe to us the process so we may make cheap ripoffs :| .
First I painstakingly outline every line with VECTORS, then, on another layer or two, I painstakingly outline every colored area with VECTORS, then I painstakingly outline every shaded area with VECTORS. :D

It sounds painstakingly difficult, but it only took about half an hour total.

[MoonBlazE]

By the way, if you add a nice background to it you could probably submit it to:

[Radium]

It doesn't look <i>that</i> much like a Acolyte.

[Strato]

Imagine attempting to use vectors to make the skull pattern around their hoods.

[Sun Fun Dude]

Looks pretty cool.

[Odin]

/me wants vectors

-ThO

[Xion]

okay, now make a cheap dreadlord knockoff

[Radium]

okay, now make a cheap dreadlord knockoff
http://www.foxmage.com/DredLord.gif

[Risp_old]

Looks like he needs DENTURES.

[Radium]

Looks like he needs DENTURES.
All the dreadlords look like that.

[Strato]

Pointy

[Doubble Dutch]

All the dreadlords look like that.

Which is why they can't get dates on friday night.

[Strato]

Yeah, and the whole evil thing is prolly a strike against them too. That and usually the females are sadistic demonesses or dead.

[Coppertop]

lol

[Strato]

consider your clam pagged.

[Odin]

Page Claim in the name of Dalspots. Or something.

Make a Radiulla in VECTORS. Now. Or else.

*Or else what?*

Exactly!

-ThO

[cooba]

Radia*

Neat. Reminds me of machall.com's style of art, except I don't think that uses vectors.

No, I'm pretty sure Mac Hall uses vectors, at least on the outlines. I'm almost completely sure the newer comics are all vectors.

[Lem_Gambino]

Ack, you didn't capitalize VECTORS! =O j/k

Very nice pics. I shall invest in this PSP you speak and make stuff...

...eventually.

[Strato]

lem, you need to draw stuff in the first place to vector it.
