Description for anyone who has ever thought of using Adobe Illustrator
i have one word of advice for ya........... DON'T!!!
this program is frustrating confusing and awkward as hell
to get a handle on..... the pen tool doesn't work like
any pen tool in any other program works...... it's
a pain in the ass and the only reason i did it was because
it's a school project...........
anyways..... it came out looking way better than expected so
i'm moderately pleased with it........ i could be done with this
but i'm sure i'm gonna crack it back open and tweak it
some more...........

yup...... i wanted to use a kong vault but i kept effing up while doing it...... the wall was too high for me..... so i just did a speed vault and it came out perfect the first time........

Argentum-Mane In reply to RockDeadman [2010-08-07 21:36:17 +0000 UTC]

I never did understand the appeal of kong vaults for wide gaps. I always liked jump-step-jump for clearing a gap with raised edges because it gives so much more control in the air... Know what I mean?

Speed vaults are awesome~

RockDeadman In reply to Argentum-Mane [2010-08-09 09:03:23 +0000 UTC]

yeah i get ya..... Kong vaults are fun sure enough..... but speed vaults are where it's at........ plus you have more control with em imo.......

Argentum-Mane In reply to RockDeadman [2010-08-09 09:04:57 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying too. Kongs are just way too wild and strange--plus, if you have proportionally long legs, it's incredibly difficult to do...

This looks pretty slick, man. I'm glad to see you're venturing into digital. Those shoes must have been a pain to render, but great job! I like the chiaroscuro look of it.

Whaaat. Illustrator isn't that hard and their pen tool makes more sense than photoshop's. You have to think of it like connect the dots!

I really want to get into it, but I don't think I have the confidence to make those leaps. I'm alright at balance though.
Hah, who cares about being a spring chicken?

This is really great! I love the pose too, very interesting. It catches your eye

Oh, and I totally agree with you about Illustrator. It is indeed, very frustrating and difficult to use. You still did a great job though
