Vector Masks

383 views

Bonesiii is hosting a contest on PowerPoint vector art, and I'm having trouble choosing my entries. I made one, but I don't have enough time and / or inspiration to make more. Luckily for me, I was into Bioncile vector art via PowerPoint long before bonesiii ever posted his guides (although I did get a few tips from them) So I thus have a pretty good collection of Bionicle masks from 01 to 06. Some of them are bad... the Hau was one of the first I ever created, and I never took the time to revise it. But so many of them are good and similiar to the set forms. I have two more masks that I can enter into bonesiii's contest, so I need help choosing which to put in. So you can recommend which ones look the best... (or which ones offer you the least amount of competition). So, yeah.

 

And mostly this is just to counter Adventurer's and Takua the Chronicler's Wanderer's multiple entries on vector masks. Here's some of my work now. LOOK AT IT! :wired:

 

Great Pakari on Nuparu (Ignore body to mask proportion problems here, I know they're bad so just focus on the mask)

Great Miru on Kongu

Great Kaukau on Hahli

Great Akaku on Matoro

Great Miru Nuva on Lewa Nuva

Great Pakari Nuva on Onua Nuva

Great Kakama Nuva on Pohatu Nuva

Great Mahiki on Matau Metru

Great Komau on Onewa Metru

Avak's face!

Vezok's face!

Thok's face!

Great Sanok on Hewkii Inika

Great Hau on Jaller (Wait, this wasn't one of my better masks...)

 

Yeah...

Whoa, you did a great job on these. They actually look set accurate. :o

I think you should work on the shading, though.

 

Oh, and it's Wanderer, not Chronicler, unless there's another one I don't know about. :P

:sarcastic: Wandering. Chronicler. What's the difference? (Besides spelling and meaning)

 

Shading does make things look more realistic, and I actually used shading onthe mask I just created. But when you want to recolor object in other programs outside of powerpoint, instead of a solid block of color you have multiple layers that can be a pain to really recolor. And I personally prefer solid blocks.

 

(Just another way of saying shadings too difficult. :P )

Do you use the grid or just freehand point to point? With the former, you can match up one side almost perfect (if that side was also made on the grid). Without it, you have to use some pinpoint accuracy or risk stripes of color.

 

What I prefer to do is make the basic sides of the shape on the grid, and then edit the points freehand off the grid. But some of the earlier masks here were made on PP 95, which didn't quite have the "off the grid" concept yet.
