Finally, Welcome everyone to the first Vector Competition @ P2L :D

You'll be vectoring your favorite game character using your favorite vector application. :rolleyes: That's all there is to it!


  • 1 Entry per person
  • Must be done in a program which has known vector capabilities(I hope I got that right :ph34r: )
  • In case someone raises a question regarding the authenticity of the vector, be prepared to post a scaled up version of your vector or show an in-program screenshot.
  • Must be started after the start of the competition(i.e. September 12th 6PM GMT)
  • A reference image may be used for your characters.



Any queries/suggestions please post in the thread.

P.S - Don't complain about the banner. (yes, I used custom shapes tool for the badge, but not for the other thing :D )

And since this is the first time, I may update the rules too, so Keep checking the first post just in case :D

Last Date for submitting completed entries - 30th September

@syndrome - Yea

@d7x - Can't really tell if its a vector. If you're new to this I suggest you look up some vector tuts to get an idea of what a vector is. :( :D
I'll try to put up some links if I can - my connections crappy now :P

here is my work in progress, not gonna say what character it is in order to help keep things even.

;)


**UPDATE**
added a nice base for the hair and added a little more to face, wanted to lay a base down for the hair so there are no dodgy holes in it ;)
