the art of fake vectoring

[awmp]

for some weird reason people are wondering about the fake vectorish effect I used on some icons I made... therefore a quick recap of the effect...
the result is kinda like this

Best effect ever. It even inspires me to learn Photoshop. I only work on Corel Draw and I am sure this is impossible over there. Thank you, so generous of you. :)

hmmm, I don't know anything about the Corel softwares but that I try to avoid them ;)
but Corel Draw is a vector program anyway, so you might want to consider to change to Photopaint (is that the name of the Corel photo software? heee, I can't remember...) for icon making...

or you know, just use Photoshop. I love that one better on any day *g*

and you're very welcome :)

Oh, I mean Corel Photopaint. Never mind me today, I am knocked out by a horrible cold. :p

[awmp]

heee, and here I already admired you for doing pixel work in a vector program ;) which is possible after all, but kinda exhausting...

PS: Sorry, still out of it, I forgot I was going to say that maybe this effect can also be done in Adobe Premiere, which is a video making program that does have similar effects to Photoshop for all I understand. If I manage to pull it off I'll let you know. :)

weee, you're brave to try this in Premiere. *g*
As much as I appreciate some of Premiere's features (basically imports/exports anything) as little I trust its effects. plus the rendering time is huuuuge for everything.

Oohohoo what a great icon. *salivates*

Yeah, I know, I will need a big gun, eh... computer to do it if it can be done. :) But if so, do you imagine, it make a whole new sort of vid, something like a comic. :) Maybe someone else can try too. Okie, night and thanks for letting me spam you. :p
