although, i'd personally prefer the background to be from the screen cap that you took the image in =P

yayyayaya XD
btw how do you create vector backgrounds from screen caps?
seems like you trace and then put bit of blur in
>> Sab0o
>>70756
I simply used a Noise>Median filter.

k last comment
b/c of the noise filter, the original background had the mikuru chan and it overlaps the actual vector. of course this is only with this screen cap

Superior.

>>70774
that's part of the reason why i changed the background.

why hasn't anyone bitched about the jpeg-format yet? you all know we can't allow traces in jpeg.
>> Anonymous
>>70876perhaps because OP knew what he was doing and didn't fucking save it as a low quality jpeg? everyone knows that a max quality jpeg is superior

<insert bitch about failing to use png here>

Seriously, when providing traces without a background, it is best to give them WITHOUT a background, as in transparent, which means using PNG. And you get no artifacts, and potentially a smaller file size!

Attached image quite related, but a repost

... why bother to do all the work if you are just going to put artifacts in it?

Probably not related to the one posted here, but anyway...

Most vector artists will not release their work as a raw transparent png because of glory faggots (credit thieves). Some do, but the majority do not. Myself included. I will only release mine as a premade wallpaper or with some form of backdrop.
Those that do get shared for 'public use' usualy have one or all of the following:
- Png or jpg with a white (or other primary color) background so that the user is forced to cut it out.
- Meduim quality compression JPG specificially so there is a degree of artifacts.
- Highly reduced scale to the original.

The usual bitch and whine dance about that is the vectors are just traces anyway. Why go through all the work just to release a less than original quality version. The point is that they spent 6+ hours vectoring it and don't want some glory faggot spamming the raw around as their work for attention.

Moral; don't bitch at the vector artists and be greatfull they released it in a usable form at all. If it isn't good enough for you, spend the time to do it yourself.

Ah, and before someone jumps on that loop-hole:

Anything made with the lower quality 'public' ones -such as wallpapers etc- will be noticabley lower quality to anything made by the vector artist -such as wallpapers etc- using the originals.

I know I'm not the average wallpaper maker here, but>>70907is mine, and I did it a bit differntly. I spent probably 20 hours on the wallpaper, most of that was on the background, trying to get the texture looking right. I released Mikuru before the wallpaper was done to /a/ (since I had gotten a better cap of the scene there) but it was in a smaller version. Once I had the wallpaper done, then I released /hr/ here.

Shoot, I even released the .svg of the whole thing, it got posted around, hit some japanese boards, and got removed from rapidshare because of licensed content or whatever.

I've seen several other people post the complete svg files as well, so it isn't unheard of. But this trace is on AnimePaper as a scan, and the user doesn't claim the scan as not his, so there is a comment asking how he did the tears on this. I could complain, but not like it was my original artwork.

And because I need something HR to post with this post, I don't think I uploaded the 3840 wide version of the wallpaper yet

Im a vector artist and I save all my works in svg and convert them to transparent png... I don't care if anyone says that they made the vectors, because focusing on that and deliberately destroying the images before I upload them somewhere is plain stupid.. it marks me as an idiot wanting to even use jpg for serious graphics and It keeps other people from, for example making a nice background or printing the vector.

It was a general explaination. Pointing out whether you do or do not and for what reason is moot. Unless you want me to clap for you or something lol
