Artist's Comments

Second in a series of Digital Complex promo posters. After 3.1-tan just looked like shades of grey I used a smaller drawing with 98-tan so the dot tone would actually show up. I also varried the line width more. Im quite fond of how her box thing turned out.

Digital Complex is going to be a fan-made OS-Tan comic created by the users of [link]. Feel free to join in!

The light source seems to have changed when you toned the skirt.

yeah, It used to look better but I kept having a problem with the tone, when the final copy was exported the shade would disapear from cirtain parts of it. I think it was the combination of tones I was using, but I had to re do it and it didnt look as good. Personaly I think its the hair I messed up most.

Photoshop, as always. saved as a very large bitmap, moved to fireworks so I could resize it as a vector graphic (otherwise the tone gets all fucked up)

...er.. I do everything in paintshop pro x with layers. I dinked with vectoring for a while in pspx, but then I realised that using the paintbrush tool (the one that mimics realistic pen/paintbrush/chalk etc) made more fluid lines and looked a bit more... alive? than the vectors.

...why couldn't you resize the vectors within PS?

photoshop dosent deal with vector graphics. I used macromedia programs for that as they are designed for it. Vector graphics store data mathmaticly and thus retain most of their image quality no mater how much they are resized, as where photoshop litteraly trys to streach or squash the image. The vector redrawing of it makes the dot patterns show up as they should as where the squashing pushes dots togeather and creates strange patterns ruining the effect. However as you pointed out, more advanced tools that photoshop sports creats smother more realistic effects. Vector is good for web images, photoshop is good for high quality and definition works (photos and such, hence the name.)

I was saying paintshop pro does... it does both the paintbrush/marker effects AND vectors. One of the reasons I like it better than photoshop.
