@Aneroph- after your previous response in the other thread i scoped out your dA page.. out of curiosity. the Durarara lineart would make a worthy subject in the coloring contest. lines are clean i like it. your bg/coloring is very good as well.
@Jesta13- now were talking. if i had seen this first vector i wouldn't have posted the pen tutorial. the lines are very clean- my only concern is the lines on her right and left shoulder. i would smooth the line out a little more. perhaps removing one path on each. but seriously that's being crazy picky. i am impressed- very much. your vector looks better than the original and the bg is good. i would use that as a wallpaper, actually. as far as the scan goes how the artist drew the shadow around her nose area seems a little strange to me-- i don't think it looks natural. one thing- what is the purple thing behind her- hair or ears or ?
hmm vexeling- years back it meant a vectoring style that consists of a great many paths that are layered upon or around each other for shading affects. i have used it and always think of it this way.

Its funny, I took a screenshot of her in that exact scene just in case I ever thought about doing a vector of her. :D
You are definitely better then me at doing backgrounds. I would try adding a outline to the stairs though.

Macross frontier. Its a mecha drama/action series. It a really good soundtrack too. If you have not seen it i would highly suggest it.

When I did a search for Vexeling tuts, I came across a ton of them doing it with that method. So maybe the greater part of the community refers to it as that. I was given this term by one of the better designers at animepaper.net. He's been helping me over the last few wallpapers I've made.

Lol, great minds think alike?
The entire background was created using nothing more than the burn tool, smudge tool, and the gaussian blur filter. Burn tool + smudge tool is one of the greatest tool combos for quick backgrounding ever. I use Gimp though. Not sure if they exist in photoshop, or what the equivalent would be.
