[Rawrasaurus]

this is my first real vector image. i pretty much just traced from a source image, so its not a huge achievement, but i'd like some comments and feedback if possible :)

here is the source image:

Looks a good vector drawing, but ya coulda picked a better topic :p

[Rawrasaurus]

don't hate on the subject! :p

i know many people won't particularly like the subject matter, but i'm thinking of putting together a few artists and releasing a pack... maybe.

[edit to make sure i wasn;t coming across too seriously:)]

One little thing I noticed: the headband doesn't go all the way around his head on the left. Other than that, it looks pretty good. ;)

Great work man....

the only thing i would suggest would be smoother curves...not to artificially smooth but try and getthe bumbiness away...

Also might want to fix the tattoo...kind of looks wierd to me..

[Rawrasaurus]

yeah, the thing about the tattoo had been mentioned before, and i have still yet to fix that. Thanks for the spot about the headband...

i know some of the curves are still bumpy, but i'm still working on that a little... just don't have enough time :(

Not into Nas but thats by the by.

Well vectored. What tool do you all recommend?

[Rawrasaurus]

i just use the Pen tool. do a rough outline, and then alter the curves and then maybe add some more anchor points if needed.
