Heather



This is probably my best vector portrait yet. I really had a good time drawing her, even though she is my best friends girlfriend :P. I think I did the best job on the face that I've done in a while. It took me about 4-5 hours in Inkscape and I really like the end result. Please leave a comment and tell me what you think.

This is a simple vector "cut out" of a friend. It doesn't have as much detail as the other ones but i still like the way it came out. It took about two hours working on and off in Inkscape. It was challenging though because the source image was not that large to begin with so that made the hair especially difficult so I cut down on details there.

Annie



This is my third stab at vector portraits and i really like the way it came out. I'm totally digging the way that her glasses came out with a simple gradient. As always leave comments.

This vector is my second stab at a person focusing on their hair. This is one of my friends that i decided to vector. I think that it came out better than my other person because it used more colors but I'm still not 100% satisfied with the outcome. Guess I have to keep practicing. It took me about three hours in Inkscape.

This That & Struan Shields goes under the pen



This vector portrait is of the front man to my favorite local band, This That & Struan Shields, none other than Struan Shields. This vector was a challenge because I'm really bad at doing hair. I like the way the vector came out overall and gives me a good starting point for drawing people. It took about three hours in Inkscape. Be sure to comment and check out This That & Struan Shields at their MySpace at: http://www.myspace.com/struanshields.

Master Chief Inked







This is a vector of Master Chief from the Halo series that a drew a while ago. I put both the colored and uncolored versions for comparison. I personally like the monochrome one better though. I can't remember how long this took me but it was a while in Inkscape. Enjoy.

Nils Cometh

Wherever you are, you sole reader of this blog, put your hands together for the new member of this now two man team, Nils. Nils is a friend of mine, and together we hope to put up some sweet. You might have also noticed, that we have a new name, theFsCene. This blog is rededicating itself to not just my vectors, but to work of other artists in our area.

Wage Peace



This piece was done on the same wave of thinking as the last post, protests and all that. I imagined this being worn on shirts and buttons at anti-war rallies and the like. It took me about an hour and a half in Inkscape. I'll add the link to the deviantART deviant when i get the chance. Comments are appreciated.

Drop Beats Not Bombs



This was a vector I did as a t shirt idea. I really like the way this turned out, especially the font. It took about an hour and a half from start to end in Inkscape. Let me know if you like it in the comments.

T Shirts Anyone?

If enough people start frequenting the site, I'll probably start adding links to Cafepress so I can turn this little side project into some lucrativeness :). Let me know in the comments. Please. I may sound a little desperate but this is the first day out and I'm going to be whoring this site out really hard :). So until I get established...spread the word. Please.

Clone Trooper Doodle: If George Lucas was into weebles...



Soon after completing my previous vector I wanted to do almost a caricature of a Clone Trooper. After a quick sketch, scan, and inking in Inkscape, this is what I had. A cutesy little trooper on the outskirts of a plain and simple Geonosis. Hit up the link for the deviant and comments with thoughts.

Clone Trooper: The First(second) Post



After cruising around deviantART for a while checking out STAR WARS stuff I got the urge to draw a trooper. For this vector I simply found a picture of a trooper, and made him all sexy-like. This took me a couple of hours in a program called Inkscape (think Illustrator for poor people). Hope you all enjoy. Leave comments wherever with thoughts.

Hello World

Hey all,

I'm not sure how many of you there are anyway, probably zero now :), but welcome to what will soon become the dumping ground for my artwork. I'm doing this for kicks but also to hopefully receive some constructive criticism and all that jazz. I'm going to have a hard time choosing what to put up first but it'll be up in a couple minutes. Here's to lots of art and all that other stuff and having a good time doing it. w00t.
