Time for archive!

Some anons helped me by pointing out some duplicates, but we still had strong growth! With a net increase of 28, the total is now 430.

A bit of a slow burner, that last thread. But I'm glad to see we all came through that are are still here, right?

Thanks to the anons who came back and saved the thread.

And a friendly reminder to post your submissions as a high resolution transparent for both archival and critique purposes!

I didn't like that the scarf and suit were basically just big blobs so I added some extra shading here and there and a gradient to the hair.

Tell me if you'd prefer a pure flat color version or anything different, I like doing these

>>1956968
This looks good, I like the shading. But a pure flat color for the hair would be better.
Thanks anyway.

Looking at it again I don't much like the skirt, the pattern just breaks weirdly without the lines or shading, but adding that would make it too complicated.

That's one of the better images I have seen for the Minimalism style, Main issue I see Is you have a ton of little things you could simplify, smooth out or reduce the number of points used in order to have a better impact.

Just in case the anons moved over to this thread.

Here's my second try at minimalisting, so I hope it's good. If anyone has any advice I'll take it, also the left hand kinda sux, I couldn't get it right, srry :/.

For the anon that has been kinda helping me, I'm the one that made the rikka minimal pic. Is it better? Worse?

Also I take constructive criticism well, so have at it everyone.

>>1957377
What did you export as? You can't make out much of the image. Export the vector file at 300/600 PPI.

My bad I tried to make the image larger, but didn't check to see if it would of distort it, which it did.

Here's the original.

>>1957400
You can't resize the PNG, as its been rasterized once you've exported it.

Currently the image is too small to critique. Resize the image in the vectoring program itself to around 1000 pixels, and then export at 300 PPI. This should export an image at a significantly higher resolution.

>>1957400
if it would have distorted it*

>>1957406
>>1957400
Welp I done fucked up, I basically permanently rasterized it apparently. So much for that image, I guess imma start on a new one . .

>>1957416
Are you doing this in a vectoring program like Illustrator or Inkscape? You should not be able to fuck up the image if you're doing it in the right program.

Do not do this in a raster based program like Photoshop or GIMP. Defeats the whole purpose of doing what we do.

Yet another oldie.
The color of the snack makes me think she's eating a shoe sole, and I can't unsee that mental image now. No idea who this is, but now I have decided that that is her weird anime quirk (you can't tell me that's too crazy, such a character trait is mostly harmless (unless she eats everyone's shoes and they're stuck in a winter zone and end up with trench foot, have to amputate and it results in a grueling and deeply disturbing survival story))

>>1957801
I'm not a fan of this at all. Mainly the high frequency face. The inconsistent variation of strokes and line endings in butts or points is really annoying to me too. I know some of the details are that way in the "original" but it looks pretty bad with how it's done in the minimal. It seems like you've stylized it a bit personally but not far enough in an aesthetic direction.

The right shoulder has an important stroke in the source. The chin lacks consistency and the nose/brow lines are too thick. The lines in the left hand don't work at all and the right hand shapes are too thick. Blue are things I consider errors and yellow are stylistic problems like lines being too close or lacking a flow. The top right shows a part that breaks the piece for me a lot. My focus is drawn there because it has so many straight edges and it seems to be in the foreground of the image while many other lines are more organic.

I only have Paint right now so I can't get transparency but these are some of the things I mean. It seems like you painted by colors from the original and makes the vector look a bit strange from the transformation that introduces.

Sorry, since english isn't my first language. I am a bit lazy to read your post.

You have the right not to like my vector, and personnaly I don't care of your opinion. The anon who requested it is happy with my job, that's it.

If you can do better, then don't write a long text and post your vector.

He was pretty nice about what issues he saw and even provided an image with all the issues.

Blowing him off by saying you can't do better is a cop out that insecure or lazy people use and it should not matter if he can do better or not, it only matters that he saw an issue and you would be a fool to ignore it if your goal is to get better.

If your goal is to throw something together and hope its good enough fair enough and feel free to ignore me.

Posted an image of my work to show that I can put out.

>>1958247
Doesn't seem like it'd work out too well.

>>1958380
The goal here is to do the best job you can. People request because they can't do it, but it is your duty in taking that request to make it as great as possible, regardless of whether or not the requester can tell the difference. We don't encourage half assed work. His critique was correct, there are alot of inconsistencies that won't work in your vector. If you're not willing to improve, then don't do these.

>>1958446
That's a shame.

Find a different picture and it might.

>>1958378
The only issue I'm seeing is where the different colors of the suits meet, especially along the edges. The edges aren't lining up with each other but I believe that's likely part of the original picture.

Could someone make a quick example of how to do ropes/braids/chains (this was a good example >>1923058 for a beaded type) in a minimalistic style? Struggling with making repetitive "patterns" like these look good.

>suggestion
Spent a while away from /w/ and nice to see the development here. It would be great if for the archive we could get filenames with character(s)/series for everything in it. From here we could point people at the readme/contents file for requests that have already been done or if the picture supplied in a request isn't worth vectoring. Most people are not going to download a 180 MB zip to see if their request is in it (they probably won't search for it in the text file either but it's a lower barrier of entry). This could take a while and it's not meant to dissuade people from requests but I think it could be something to strive for.

While looking for something to work on in old folders I came across this wallpaper, not sure who made it.

>>1958493
That image and >>1923058 are both me. If the watachi image is what you mean by ropes then I'll say right away it's not a very good example. I made that one a while back and it has some issues with consistent thickness. The best way for consistent simple line thickness would probably be just to make a line with the pen tool and edit it's thickness like the cord correction in >>1921167. As for chains, or a more detailed rope, it'd be harder to say without an example.

You clearly have no concept of how handles or nodes work. Use as little nodes as possible in order to reduce lumpiness (which is everywhere throughout your image). Instead, only place nodes at important areas such as at tips of hair, or at major curves. Then, stretch the handles out and create a smooth curve. Do not overextend handles, or else you will cause flatness at the nodes. You will need to practice numerous times in order to get it right.

Looks at this Ai file and understand how the nodes and handles are done before moving on to another image:

>>1958689
like this ?
https://mega.nz/#!7sZ0mRTC!UEQv9iqjbXjMmddCPOlIMtlbtEAOyv8OqpgW1a1_K-A

btw, I don't have AI, I use Inkscape.

>>1958704
Better, but only use sharp nodes with independent handles at the end points for the V shaped hair and the Square shaped hair. You want these areas to be crisp and sharp. If you use smooth nodes with dependent handles you get blotchy hair (or fur), which is not what you want.

You also lack any direction with the hair and fur tips. Notice how all the sharp end points for the hair and fur curve in a certain direction here: >>1958689. This is important, because it gives the hair and fur flow, and helps it look smooth, versus being straight and inconsistent with the hair/fur around it.

Also, you can easily open Ai files in Inkscape. Either right click and open the file with Inkscape, or click and drag the file into Inkscape. Either one will convert the file to SVG and will maintain the nodes and handles for the most part. Study how those nodes and handles are placed and learn from that.

PS: If know know how to pirate, Illustrator is much better.

That is a complex image, so it goes on the normal queue, which has 7 other complex-ish images, so it'll be at least a month (if not more) until I do this (if no one else picks it up in the meantime that is)

>>1959162
I don't mind.

I've been waiting over six months from the original request, so I can wait a bit longer.

Another anon did Reila, and said they'd consider doing Imca. But I don't blame them if they dropped the request. So I wanted to re-request and see if the original anon or someone else might want to pick it up.

Thank you.

At first glance the only thing that looked off to me was the bangs. When hair goes over the eyes and cuts off try to make it look similar to other hair strands.
The top of the head looked slightly bumpy. The two green pieces were made with a single node at each end. Using just a node at the start and end of a long curve makes it smooth. Everything else looks fine.

>>1959906
I would highly recommend finding higher quality images to trace. If the image you are tracing looks like ass, the outcome will look like ass no matter how well it's traced. The image is super blurry, very low quality face/hands, and has several key pieces cut off or missing. Doing searches of the characters name on art sites will give you tons of high quality pictures in different poses.

lol I know the source image is shit and don't need a critique of that. I saw the frame and thought that it would look cool in the minimal style if it was done right (not a perfect trace). I took a shot at it and don't that I'm that far off from the image I saw in my head. My problem is that I've been staring at and tweaking things while creating it for long enough that I don't think I can see the image as a whole anymore. So I'm just looking for a fresh set of eyes to help point out any inconsistencies, errors, and or things that just look off.

>>1960118
>I saw the frame and thought that it would look cool in the minimal style if it was done right.
And that's the issue. I could take a picture of shit on a canvas and post it on /p/, and nobody would compliment how well it's lighted.

If you want to honestly hear what looks off in the vector then; all of the hair looks blotchy and unnatural, hair vanishes under the sword, her face looks flat, the right side of where her cloths meat her "face" dosn't look like cloth going around, the upper hand is discussing, both handles of the swords are blotchy and look bad, the sword sleeves don't look like a solid objects at all, the sleeve in the back is not only larger then the closer one but also not even the same shape, the right side of the white stripe on her skirt has a rounded top, the curve on the bottom side of both legs is unnatural, her boots look they are laying over top of her legs instead of being worn, the higher foot looks nothing like a foot at all, the lower foot only kind of resembles a shoe, and many of the stripes have color peaking.

The very first step in making one of these is finding an image that will work. If you can't do step one then no amount of critique will ever make you better.
If your goal was to intentionally make somehting that was as bad as possible then congrats, no need to fix anything.
If your goal is to make a a minimalist vector that looks good then throw this away and start on something else.

probably a dumb question (am new here), any reason you guys don't upload the svg to a 3rd party and link it?
Allows whoever to resize it, right?

>>1960209
Ppl usually will if asked for it. The reason why every post does not have a svg is just the effort required to upload and host it.

If the image is exported large enough it can be easily shrunk to fit most practical uses. That is why the resolutions are typically at least 4k

It's a neat concept but I think it could use a lot of improving if you want to investigate the style. As someone who does 3D, the head hair almost looks like a wireframe which I like but it doesn't gel into a cohesive piece with all the types of lines you have. The tail isn't really apparent unless you know who Makoto is.

As someone said it's reminiscent of stained glass. I think what you've done looks best on the skirt/bottom and the crosses (not the ring). Bold chunks of color with thick lines and mostly sticking to polygons looks very nice and I will have to play with this myself. There are a lot of crazy places you could take this.

Other than that, the skin hurts the piece the most because some of her most interesting features like the cleavage, belly button, and Adonis belt are missing.

So here's another. I kinda zone out in a way while listening to various shows and make these... soon I'll have actual life to deal with and won't be flooding this place so much.

>>1960542
That was more of a technical exercise rather than to make it look good, that's why it's so all over the place with the lines and colors and orderly-ness.

I'm not really a fan of that mosaic/stained glass style and kinda got a sick of doing it when the skin was left. Maybe one day I'll revisit this style or something similar and re-do this image to compare and contrast.

Anyway, this was another great learning experience. A modular character (armored/mecha) is really good for learning to use layers and just constructing an image piecemeal. This is the first one I've felt (mostly) like I had an actual plan.

Skin tone is the most noticeable. Usually when doing these the original image will have very pale skin that doesn't translate over very well. I usually switch color options over to HSB and up the saturation and move the hue to a more red. The original color was an unsaturated yellow, and the face i drew over is a more saturated red (see her hand for the difference).
On the bottom side of the hair there was a strand drawn on the top part but left out on the bottom. the strands on the left are thicker than the original, but to be honest I couldn't fix it in a way that looked good. I kind of think the area would look better with them left out.
>>1962071
The original image has a very dark and shaded tone, which is really noticeable in her hair and skin. When colors look off i'd recommend looking up a reference. for (>>1961847) I looked up official art and based colors off that. Some shapes end early instead of coming to the end hear her neck and chest. The string things I drew using the line tool to have a more consistent thickness. Lastly I really don't recommend adding lines to highlight details in there types of images. Because only that area has lines, it looks off. Usually drawing the shading in images can give the extra details desired, but since the original image doesn't have that it be better off with nothing.

>>1962071
Forgot to say;
Export without a background for advise. makes it easier to work with. And, export at a higher ppi/resolution for both of you. The less pixelated the better.

Decided to mess with various degrees of minimalist style and some other things. Figured direct comparisons would make it easier to try and learn something about... colors I guess? Recoloring to such an extent probably ruins some aspects and generally might not look good with highly stylized characters like this, since they're designed with the specific colors in mind from the ground up. (if anyone cares, the character is Alpha from an idle-clicker "game" called Crush Crush, the redhead is Nina)

>>1962110
I wrote up a longer reply to this but my tab crashed so this may sound disjointed:

I think you've lost track of "minimalism." You've improved a lot, especially with color concepts, but I wouldn't consider some of your works to be minimalist. A lot of recent work I've seen looks like unfinished vectors without the line work and facial features. It comes off as paint by numbers and feels robotic and mechanical. Minimalism is just as much about the paths you make as it is about the paths you don't make. Don't worry about making every color field accurate to reference. 7 colors for the hair is completely unnecessary and most certainly not minimal.

Do more with less, show restraint. Make stylistic choices in your work instead of being a human AutoPaint. Slow down. Think of the lines you're making and think of some lines that you could be making instead.

>>1962165
I think I get what you mean, I'll have to rethink how I do these in the future.
I'm better at learning from exampled and trial-and-error rather than conceptual ideas though. Could you point out or post a good example of that please?
Also point to the stuff that's less minimalism and more unfinished vector?
Thanks for the criticism and in advance.

>>1962244
>Also point to the stuff that's less minimalism and more unfinished vector?

not the anon you're talking to, bu this>>1961548 seems like a case of it.

You have all the individual small bolt holes on the gun, cluttering it up. You have a large variety of blues in there, where you could have toned it down to four or so shades that still convey different colors.

Those are the things that pop out in my opinion, but as the other anon said, developing a "style" to minimalizing is subjective at best. I see it as how much can I flatten or remove while still giving enough context to see the image.

Also some constructive criticism would be appreciated.

>>1962668

>Minimalism involves taking images and reducing them down to basic colors and removing most features. Most wallpapers will not include shadowing or faces, but this is subjective.

Generally this place takes anime style characters, redraws them without outlines and most features, except for the most distinctive ones (usually) (though I've got a bad habit of making them too detailed still) and with a fairly small color palette, primarily flat colors.

Check the archive in the OP to get a clearer idea.

The powerlevel thread >>1961790 has stuff that's of a different kind of minimalism.

>>1962783
Right, let's start with the basics then.

First, always export as a .png file so that the background isn't filled. You should be using a proper vectoring program like Adobe Illustrator or inkscape, not a raster program like Photoshop or GiMP.

Second, check your work before posting, you have some areas that were not filled and the purple background color shines through in places it shouldn't.

Moreover, the two mouth parts do not line up properly and it looks janky.

I also circled many points that should not have a node. Those hair lines can be done with just 2 nodes like how I did on the left, otherwise it looks blocky. You did the lock on the left properly, so do that with all of them.

Same with the eyes. If a line is smooth, make the handles (bars) of the nodes align.

Lastly, for now, export at a large resolution so that people can use them for whatever purpose they want, they're called scalable vector graphics for a reason, and do not stretch the image.

>>1962803
It's good that you enjoy this, hopefully that will last. Sometimes vectoring can get rather involved and time consuming.

Now the image.
I hope you see that you have way too many nodes and it's rather messy overall, so don't bother trying to fix it. better start from scratch. Play around with the tools you have, For instance, use the elipse tool for the irises.

Also, check the vector thread >>1951675, I've learned a lot from there myself.
You should do some simple vectors first to get a feel for it, there's a good tutorial there by one of the regulars.

>>1963355
I can.

>>1963546
I used to use GiMP for vectoring before and can say that inkscape is MUCH better for it. GiMP also generally has larger project file sizes because it's a raster program and saves every pixel. Paths are much lighter in that regard, so you'll be using less space. In inkscape it's just the imported image file size plus node and handle location, color picks and math strings for gradients, blurs, effects, etc.

I quickly tested it with this image. The .svg file is just under 1MB, the .png as well. GiMP's .xcf is 2.1MB. I simply opened the png and saved it as xcf. Where did the extra MB come from? Raster hammer space, because fuck your storage limits.

my request

>>1964595
Seems pretty good, but kinda hard to really tell at such size. We usually upload at a rather large resolution here so people can use them however (and point out problems)

Providing a source would also help, if you'd like critique and comments that is.

>>1964598
Well I used GIMP because that's what I'm familiar with. Source is here if anyone wants it (either for use or critique)
https://file.io/4Abx2E

>>1964613
Use a vector based program like Inskcape or Illustrator instead. That way the image can be infinitely scalable. GIMP is raster based and is limited to the original size.

>>1964614
Thanks been meaning to learn how to use Inkscape so will give that a go next time.

I'll quote the vector thread, because I believe it applies here as well:

>– Request an image ONCE per thread. Do not bump or second - once is enough.

Also, as mentioned before, the image is small and the details are quite blurry. I considered doing it but scrapped it since it was just a pain to work on.

Thank you. It's been updated.

Sorry I've taken so long to respond, I've been out for a while.

Anyways, I've started the daunting task of renaming files in terms of Character Name - Source Material

It's probably not going to be close to done as I am a bit clueless as to some of the characters, but the filenames in this thread have helped.

I know it may be a bit late and/or unnoticeable of a request, but when someone makes a request, could they include the details for archival purposes?

Details meaning the character name and the show they are from.

Saber from Fate as Marneus Calgar from Warhammer 40 000

Since the implications of her as an Astartes are EXTRA HERESY I added some purity seals to try and mitigate it. Trying to hide heresy is in and of itself heresy, but I'm sure Emps would understand. That poor super psychic vegetable surrounded by all the gold. But it's okay, everything is proceeding exactly as Tzeentch planned, Nyah-hah-haa!

>>1967233
You are most welcome! *types this with a fuckin' stupid grin and laugh*
I can't promise no more heresy in the future from me, 'cuz bipolar Chaos Undivided / Imperial Cultist and all, but I'll keep it outside the realm of the Prince of Excess.

Working on Papa Smurf to bring the universe back into balance in the meantime. He is the most Pimp Daddy I've ever seen. So much decorum, engravings, emblems and symbols on his master crafted artificer power armor. I think he might be compensating for being a quadriplegic.

>>1967020
To add to what >>1967288 said, the eye and mouth (which generally get removed in minimalisms) are kinda the only distinct parts of the image.

Also that's a vector, so try to find who made it, request the .svg or .ai file and post that (or just ask them to minimalise it) Doing this would feel like duplicate work.

But I wouldn't mind doing a Tomoko, but not this image, maybe you've got another one you'd like.

All the details took longer than all the parts making up the silhouette. And I didn't include quite a few of the more intricate details.

I think I'll do a limited amount of warhammer art stuff from now on (and try to get images that are at least halfway anime-esk rather than ones that don't belong here on /w/), anime is so much less detailed and clear.

How do you guys feel about uploading to a booru or making your own booru?

>>1967736
That's another type of imageboard thing, right? Personally I don't care where my stuff ends up or how it gets there, but I can't be arsed to put stuff elsewhere myself. I've grown used to this place. I have no issue with anyone uploading my stuff on a booru though.

>>1967762
A booru is less an imageboard and more an image catalog. Danbooru, gelbooru, etc.

People upload images, people tag images, things are easily searchable by tags. It's pretty great on the one condition that people actually tag shit, which never seems to happen for these 4chan "hey guys lets make a booru for this ongoing art thread" projects.

>>1967532
hey that's pretty good. That'd work well for a t-shirt, 40k isn't really about subtlety so its hard to think of a way to display that in public around normies.

I think an ork would be a real challenge.

Overall it's alright, but a larger export size would be appreciated to see everything more clearly. (Please tell me you're using a real vector program and not photoshop or gimp)

The only things off that I can see is her cut-off wing which you redrew - it doesn't resemble her other wing at all. Just copy how it looks on the other side. And the lower part of the feather right next to it is bent the wrong way.

Her long hair (on the right) that goes behind the wing and ends in a tip looks like you made it from three separate paths rather than one. That would make the curve smooth and consistent.

On a personal note (not critique, just something I would've done) because the clothes are all one color, I would've added shading to make the parts distinct rather than a big white blob. Same with the wings, though I probably would've made them from three differently colored parts - the front, the back and the lower.

>>1965664

There's some awful aliasing on that, did you use Photoshop or GIMP? You can see the grip peeking through the bat grip and red mark.

What font did you use for the kanji? The hooks to start the strokes are slightly annoying. Why didn't you use the more stylized strokes from the original?

Chill, dude. It's barely been two weeks. Stuff here can take a LONG time to be done.
Sometimes nobody wants to take a request.
Sometimes nobody has the time.
Sometimes it's been started and other circumstances delay delivery.
We do this when we can and when we want to.

I'd like to do it as I did another image of Amatsukaze before >>1960522 , but I'm currently in the middle of making a rainbow and a full vector, so... if it remains un-taken, maybe in a month.

And again, please refrain from bumping a request. I know it's not in the rules in the OP, but it really doesn't speed anything up. I have a folder with all the images not done in this thread and I occasionally look through it and here to see if anything needs to be taken off or if I reconsider doing something.

"Don't ever look back on the world closing in
Be on the attack with your wings on the wind
Oh, the games will begin

And it's sweet, sweet, sweet victory... Yeah
It's ours for the taking
It's ours for the fight
Sweet, sweet, sweet victory... Yeah
And the one who's last to fall
The winner takes all"

Tomoko Kuroki - Watamote

Been slowly getting into this anime, Gods, it makes me cringe, but it's great. Found some nice art of it too.

You're cranking out good stuff, but I feel like if you're able to crank them out this quickly, then you might want to attempt more technical and advanced stuff. Reference K-On Umbrella wallpaper.
