Caroline

[gray]

No wings on this one but lots of petals. This is an illustration of a Clematis flower from my garden. It is a mixed Xara vector and raster graphic.

You don't by any chance make violins from matchsticks do you?

Beautiful image Gray. It has me curious and that's a good thing. Did its creation eliminate or simplify unwanted detail from the original photo? The image looks so photographic I wonder what the vector shapes are doing.

I can understand how the various shapes, each with bitmap fills corresponding to the photo, could allow each part of the photo to be processed differently with live effects. Is that what you are doing?

Why is this thread titled "Caroline"?

Regards, Ross

Beautiful image, Gray.
As Steve (Sledger) suggests, you must have the patience of a saint.

Beautiful.

This is incredible. At first I thought you posted the wireframe and the photo that you used as a reference. I was wondering where the render was.

Awesome work.

Brilliant! You´ve got the touch no matter what you draw/paint.
