Without further ado:

Britney Spears Vector
I really don't like Britney much, but a friend requested this, so yeah.
Erm, spent about 5 or so hours on this? I think a bit more, but I can't remember.
I'm gonna be editing the flaws and smoothing it out a bit when I have more time.

And then we have:

"No Name" Vector
An original name, eh? I don't know who she is, so I can't say...
This is for the competition over at http://www.vexels.net. Erm, yes, it is a vector, even though I've submitted it on there. ._.

Around 1852 shape layers in Photoshop, ALL done with the Pen Tool. NONE of this is the original photo. I'm not a cheat like that. I just aim for realism. Taken about 26 hours, or more, spread over several days.

They look incredible, necklace looks great. The Brittany Spears one is also great, I thought it was a real photo at quick glance, nice job, good skills.

[Wazzup]

they are absolutetly gorgeous, and i know how much work this must have been. But i have 1 question: what is the point vectorizing images like that when you can do 90% of that using auto trace in illustrator cs2?

Impressive Tasha, especially the 2nd one

[ThaBirdman]

That second one is great! the jewelery and eyes are so realistic! awesome job!

[Silwolffe]

I'm kind of in denial with myself on the "No-Name" necklace; it looks too realistic; as does the eyes.

If they're true vectors, then I would have to say great work; they're amazing.

[saferwaters]

Oh GOD they're awesome....first one looks realistic, second one is brilliant...

[syntex]

Loving the britney one

It is certainly a vector, I can assure you. I might provide close-ups soon.

Erm, having using the illustrator trace tool, you can't get the same effect at all! I've tried it on several images when I had the trial, and the effects are simply black and white lines, I'm sure they were...


Thanks a lot all.

Woah, they look amazing. The Britney one looks so good and the clothing looks almost tooo perfect. As for the second one, that is something else, the eyes look amazing and the lips look to good to be a vector. Very well done .

[Tasha]

This image is to prove that certain points of the second vector ARE vector.

[RuBix]

Wow, the detail you've put into it is amazing. Definatly see the the different now, well done.

[Xfader]

Some of the best vectors ive ever seen!

[Ckristian]

[Tasha]

[PSgirl]
