Paying for a silhouette of Space Core

[Garquillex]

I need somewhat of a silhouette of Space Core, but with cut-outs to define his characteristics, like these random google images:

It will be a .png and everything that isn't black must be transparent.

It doesn't need to be very big at all. The final resize will be under 160 pixels in height, but I need it bigger at first. The edges must be very smooth.

Moderate artistic liberty can be taken, or it can be a direct conversion.

Not sure how many credits I would pay yet

this will be used for a personal keyboard modification

Ask if you have any questions

That's worth at least 100,000 credits.
Downright gorgeous.

that was sickeningly fast

[Wayward Vagabond]

took 4 hours and 8 hours respectively photoshop pro 300k a year check out this check i got 10k gees swole ***** make it rain

Hey who_cares, can I get a silhouette of gumby for 10k?
transparent so the ladees can watch me maik it rain on the other side, of course

I'm talking to customer service to see if that first one will work if downsized. My worry is that the edges on the transparent detailing will basically merge with each other and become a solid silhouette, if you get what I mean. I downsized it and the edges become varying shades of transparent gray, and make contact with the other edges.

I'll see if there's a final height size I can get. They originally told me to give them the biggest size available so they can resize it the best they can, but I don't think they're expecting such small details


(it's going on my space bar)
spaaaaaaaaaaaaaace

worth a try

I can attempt this... dunno. It'll turn out shit because I'm terrible at art.

this is literally all i did

open image in ps
invert colour
change to black and white
select background area
delete background area
with the selection still active stroke with pencil
adjust the brightness and contrast accordingly typically with the contrast all the way up
give it a gaussian blur to smooth out lines

Clean!

When you're done, you'll have the best results of the bunch by far. Can't really match the clean edges of a vector when it comes to minimally defining shape. goodstuff~

PS Garquillex, do you just need one angle of view of this? If it came down to it the best way to make this would be to quickly mock it up in a 3D program and render it as vector with bright edges from different angles.

Can't tell for sure... I'm a total amateur at Illustrator. :______:

The sharpness of the lines and definition of the clean shapes will overpower the subtle problems that might be there, if any. When defining shape, fuzzy pixel edges vs straight defined edges, there's no comparison for which is the best at it. If you're trying to display this with minimal content, that is. Keep goin with it if you can read the shapes of the space core and copy em into vector well enough then you're going to get good at illustrator quick

I still dunno... But I'm done. Might do some touchups if I need to but other than that...

* shrug *
Someone else could pull this off so much better though I guess...

[Garquillex]

That's really really good...
I might use it.
But I'm still waiting on support :<

I might prefer a vector of this one instead, if you or someone else wants to make even more credits... but you're definitely getting a chunk either way if you want it.

[Spenner]

I might do that tomorrow. Posting to remind myself. ~

Unless someone else wants to. I don't need the credz
