The Jolie one is insane! Amazing skills.

I know, I can't believe some of the stuff I have found lately, some people are really talented then there are those that just blow me away.

 

[dot design]

Extremely talented I'd agree, but whats the point, couldn't you just take a picture?:icon_smile:

 

[gavner]

i do love the first image, great stuff!!, it looks like she used the mesh tool on illustrator?

 

[NeedForBleed]

That's the bit that amazes me. The mesh tool doesn't work on my illustrator I'm sure. Everytime I try to make a cube, I get a spiked ball!:icon_biggrin:
Thinking about getting a petition going for CS5, 'change mesh tool, to mess tool'.:icon_blushing:

 

[am:pm graphics]

Pretty amazing skills but kind of too good, to the point of 'why?', as Dot Design said.

I guess the point is to make a point, that's human nature.

Hi, I've just joined the forum, these vectors are incredible, the eyes are particularly good, :icon_notworthy:
I've been doing vectors for about two years now, here's one I had previously thought quite well executed...until I saw these!

Agreed.
Very time consuming also.

I think the point is..."i can do it"...i understand and (my opinion) its a very very good work, probably one of the best i ever see...congrats!

Hey buddy don't put your work down. Those are some truely amazing images but your Porsche is amazing to. I like the look of your Porsche a great deal. So all in all it's just a different type of image, thats all.


Fantastic images. If only i could make something like that.

Amazing Stuff!

I think you have to have a lot of patience with the mesh tool.

(hover over the images to see the wire frame)

I've been trying to start as I think you can learn a lot from the process (shadows and colours), plus you get the added benefit of making it what ever size you want without it deteriorating into a pixelated blob.

simply amazing...

That must be a very complicated file. Wow :icon_eek:

I think this is one of best efforts in illustrator, still not sure if it's quite finished or not.
