Vector Sketch W/Mouse

[hseiken]

I was a little burned out on a project I'm working on, so I decided to not just sit around and be lazy, but rather just 'sketch' with my mouse (rather than stylus like I normally do) because to me, you can be lazy and non-productive and still be not lazy and productive...it just depends on the activity!

So after two hours of not working on what I should have, this had been made.



Technical notes:
no curves on polygons
the background flame stuff is used no combination operations like subtract or add; they're all just freely floating shapes
no groups or layers
uses only default color xara palette
no transparency effects
no gradients
no competent use of typography (lol)

I think it came out okay considering how little thought was going into this. I might go back and really finesse it up, but probably not.

Also, I hope Magix or whomever runs this forum can do something about the image storage here...I understand size and bandwidth issues force certain decisions, but the worst thing you can do to any vector image is save it super high compressed jpeg. Actually, that's the worst thing you can do with any image, but I would like to just say using PNG with resolution restrictions is much better approach...it may artifact from scaling but it wouldn't look like blotchy garbage unnecessarily.

Nice. Agree about PNG.

Very cool!

Just switching off & letting your imagination wander often has very surprising & pleasing effects.

I don't know when the forum started converting png's to jpg's. A bummer!

Nice!

Looks like you had fun, hseiken.
