My vector traces and art [UPDATE: Neko Haibara (Original)]

[Vylen]

This thread, I guess, will be a bit of a spin-off to the Firefox Persona thread I created.

Cause well, the persona's use very small versions of these awesome vectors I've made, and i figure i can share some of them in all their glory

First up with my latest persona was the bikini trio (I keep referring to them as the "trio" now - it makes sense)



These girls were traced from the closing title cards first seen in episode 540. A screencap here http://img193.yfrog.com/i/triosource.png/...
You'll notice some effort was put into drawing the hidden parts of Kazuha and Sonoko... So it's not a complete vector trace

And to indulge a few people in the #DCTP irc channel, i made a special topless version. This version is of a smaller resolution for... uh.. safety?
Potentially NSFW!

Reeemoved~

Unfortunately there's no good references/sources that let me see how the girls' feet would be drawn in the conan universe - if i could find something good, i might be able to draw them in myself....

Hopefully the forumites here can help me out.

EDIT: Just a change to the subject title... i sorta do more than simple traces every now and then

EDIT2: From now on, "potentially NSFW" images will be marked in red as appropriate and kept in spoiler tags....

EDIT3: I won't put the latest vector works in this post - mainly cause i dont want to put so much "strain" on a single page with (potentially) so many images... so, updates will be put in separate replies

EDIT4: Vylen, you know we can't post that here! >_>

Nice pics and I <3 the smaller one

It's not bad you did pretty well at drawing the missing body parts.

I can make some small suggestions on fixing Kazuha's body a bit more. Try looking at Ran and Sonoko's ribs and you will see that the area is rather sounded. You drew it a little bit flat. I'd also suggest rounding the area around her hip there. It seems like an unnatural slant is there at the moment.

yea, kazuha's body has been bugging me.. its hard though cause she's leaning forwards, a particular pose that im not used to picturing in my head... and thats ignoring the fact im not particularly experienced

"potentially" nsfw? I'm pretty sure when people say nsfw that's pretty much exactly the type of stuff they mean

[Vylen]

So here's an update on the bikini trio..

conversations on #DCTP led this way and that, and i ended up creating this rather.... special... version of the bikini trio

Would you say this is more risque than the topless version? haha

I might come out with other versions to accommodate peoples.... fetishes....

[CTU]

The new one is rather nice...tho strange disign

I might come out with other versions to accommodate peoples.... fetishes....

So there is a chance that I might see them as bunny or catgirls?

[ranger]

LMAO hahahaha im surprised this isn't locked

[Vylen]

LMAO hahahaha im surprised this isn't locked

Nonsense!

Whilst their costumes are slightly out of character... what they're wearing (or not wearing) is not something you would not see at a beach... especially in Japan with regards to the most recent image

and to Ctu, i suppose bunny would be more likely than catgirl

Eeks. Eeks for the special version. Sorry maybe I'm just not used to these. They give me the creeps and I'm always looking behind me to chack if someone's looking over my shoulder.

LMAO hahahaha im surprised this isn't locked

I agree.

I agree.

while i understand there are some people (like yourself) who may not feel comfortable with some images, locking the topic is a bit "harsh" ... not all my vector work is like this...

if moderators have issue with any images, they're free to remove them... locking the topic would just be inconvenient (and the images would still remain in the thread)

anyway, im no longer going to defend the images - there's no need.. people have their own preferences, likes and dislikes (there's clearly people who like the "special" edition).

Nice I would so love to see them in classic bunny-girl costumes

Hmm, i really liked the first and the last one, i just didn't "enjoyed" the top-less one, but still, i just want to make a suggestion, why not add "[+18]" in the tread's title? it would be convenient, since we may have a lot of kids here

Btw, congratulations, your cartoon skill is very impressive =)
