I just completed my 2nd vector, this time I chose to take a picture of my player and vector him. I think the outcome came out pretty nice.
C&C is appreciated.

Lacks any depth. A vector is more than just filling areas with color.

Needs more detail. And you should work on shading via gradients and such, or burn/dodge tool. But you got the basic shape down.

If you're going to C&C, use Proper English.

You have a nice basic outline. I'd like to see it with more detail and maybe some shading. It looks like a cardboard cutout.

Wayyy too basic. You should've spent more time on this before releasing it. I would say your V2 as you describe it, shouldve been your V1.

Metaphorically speaking, yes.

I highly recommend that you decide against using gradients for shading. Proper lighting for most vector work is best achieved by using straight color. As a matter of fact, the definition of a vector is a shape that can be sized to any resolution without losing quality. Gradients make that difficult to achieve. The path you took with the Shoulder Pads was the right direction to go for lighting. The pads actually look really nice. Now just apply to concept to the rest of the image.

Gradients are for noobs...Only use them sparingly

But yes whilst kool, definatly needs the shading and depth work...

While I do like your spartan laser more than this work. I am intrigued by this style now. Keep at it and hopefully we'll see some fantastic work from you!
