Nothing lasts forever...
in illustrator - but it could have been done in xara too - it's just some lines and faces.
but in illustrator i didn't have to wory about the faces - just draw some lines and start filling. i could even add or remove lines from the fill tool group.
just wanted to show some innovative vector drawing tool to the xara user group since we haven't seen much vector improvement to xara in the past years. (only the higher cutting pescision i can remember atm)

It's a little confusing to post work created in Adobe Illustrator in a Xara Gallery when you want to talk about Xara Xtreme
I've moved the thread to where it really belongs.
Perhaps you could start a discussion about how the flood-fill tool would be a great addition to Xara Xtreme's features in the Xara Xtreme forum?
Your my man Steve!
I totally agree with what Fly is saying in his reference to Xara's really nil expansion and how much better AI is when your handling colour whither it is using swatches or live colour you can select, change and delete any instance of that colour or blending mode in one click. And from CS3 onwards AI does not take 3 months to start up or take hours to redraw when you change something in a complex drawing. Like Fly I do prefer still Xara but work and using certain tools in AI dictates the use of AI and its not the monster that some folk in this forum think it is. It just takes a bit more time to learn when you are a beginner than XPro 4 does and that steep learning curve puts some folk off using the programme.
Design is thinking made visual.
yeah yeah yeahhhhhhh

thx for explaining albacore.
my english is not so good.
just wanted to show some innovative vector functions.
i love xara and still use it but i'm tempted by illustrator's cool stuff and i'm annoyed at the same time by its clunky drawing tools.

Are you going to explore these monster figures more and make it into your style of drawing? There fun and are funny and a easy way for you to express emotions. That the problem with me when I do personal work, at the moment it is not a lot, I jump for one style to another so artistically I never progress.

over the past years - a style developed. just go on and on and on ... :b
i'm going to make a child book about numbers 1 to ten for kids out of this.
