Play With Vector Characters
I have an idea. I would like to write a fantasy based web comic. I’m thinking a cheesy fantasy– something Spider Man meets D&D, with a heroine in a sleek costume. I think it would be a fun experiment in vector art.
Something like this, I think would do nicely. I only have the cover so far, so this is my sneak peak: 
I know this is pretty simple. But I think that its a good start. I like vector characters. Vector art has such a versatility to it. I could always throw her into Flash and animate her too.
I like the idea of using vector based design– like you would when workings on logo-types– to create a true illustration. I makes hundreds of logos every week in Illustrator, and I think this really feels like the natural expansion of logo design, into full blown illustration.
I’ve been playing with some other vector illustrations. Here is a nice design of my vampire costume, as a vectorized character.
Before:
After:
I was also playing with types of characters. Something more realistic, with fashion proportions…
Or more of fashion/realistic drawing:
I’m going to keep at these and see how they progress.
