hey how do you make a vectored render in GIMP?


well.. here's how I used to do them
Fisrst, posterize the pic. to a level that looks like it would look good vectored.
Then, select by color, and transform selection into path, then select path and fill w the color. What this does is make the edges nice and smooth like a vector should. Do this for all the colors and u should get something like THIS!

I also traced the paths and moved them arround for the lines and the blue spots for fun


Thanks for the info. I'm gonna try this out

more confident about it, but still need practice (especially on those damn curving lines)

Opinions?

I agree with the lines, try transparent line and make edges shaper rather curved or try to find good abstract 3D render

I love it, their are a few problems though, the double text thing, theres too much of other peoples ideas there, almost TUTORIAL based signature.

The background I love, the sprite and the lines around him are....I would expect over the top but NO they realy work.

I dont like the text, its a bit fuzzed and blurry, maybee it looked good before you saved it, and the border and text within it seems to not belong.

I know ive pointed out quite a few problems, but the sig is quite good, but it can be improved.

The only reason why I made the lines stick out and curve at the end is because I thought that if I had done that it would've made the sig look just a little boring, so in the end I curved them. Its the 1st time tried doing this to so I believe it was pretty good for a 1st try. You shoulda saw the lines at 1st, you'd think a 5 year old did it.

@Skins- I really never knew that a lot of other people did the text thing. I thought it was kinda original.

I was trying to get a "vintage" photo look on this by messing around with the colors and stuff.

I'd appreciate it if you guys could tell me if it looks good and if I got the vintage photo feeling, if you guys know what im talking about. Heres the original stock.

Devil jin, thats a great sig, but the render is too clashy w the rest of the sig, u want to keep it clean cut, but sort of make the difference a tad more subtle, u should add a grandient map of 2 opposite colors and set it to a low opacity, it would soften the color difference, and add a more clean-cut feel

Edit of a batman picture. That's Sub-Zero kneeling down in the picture. Kinda small, but I couldn't find a bigger image to work with.
