Vinyl Scratch vector

[Chevette 1,052]

Well, being new to the vector art side of town I don't know much about the rules of "whats been done and what hasn't been done" so I made this as a answer to a problem I was having with finding a good Vinyl Scratch icon for my Skype account. So I have a entertaining story for you...

 

I was browsing Google on account of a new Skype icon, or inspiration for a new Skype icon when I noticed a Vinyl Scratch photograph that looked decent enough (In my opinion) for my new icon. I didn't hesitate to click on this as soon as I saw it, but two things caught my eye. First, as my mouse drifted over it I noticed the size which was very small, then, after I had clicked it, well let's just say It didn't take me to the Vinyl Scratch picture... It took me to a inappropriate webpage instead.

 

So upon my disappointment of not being able to use this photograph which I liked the looks of, a idea struck me like a flashback from a memory hidden inside my mind like a magazine shoved in a box covered with dust in a farm house attic. I thought to myself; "Well this would be a perfect thing to vector" so I jumped right on it.

Now, as I said earlier, I'm not positive this hasn't been made at a larger scale but I did it anyways for my own personal benefit for a icon so hopefully nobody gets all hot n' bothered over me making this.

 

But, without further ado I present my Vinyl Scratch vector:

 

And the one without all the fancy-dancy enhancement material:

 

 

I didn't notice the white imperfections around the Polaroid frames until I finished, normally I don't call for that kind of failure on my watch, but sadly I didn't see it until after it was completed and nothing burns more than having to redo your work... so please don't think I have poor work ethics because of this, thank you.

Awwww, nice job, very cute. I like the photograph idea, that's sweet. I had a Discord avatar that was drawn as a photograph, but this is custom made so it means more, I suppose. Can't wait to see as it's icon form ^^

Really great work, keep it up! Although, I do prefer Vinyl with red eyes. I think they suit her more.

This is great and I love the photo idea.

It's strange seeing Vinyl without her goggles even on her person; maybe consider placing them on top of her head next time like you'd see in some aviator pictures.

 

I spotted a mistake in the photo though of the bar with Vinyl. Take a look at the right side of the pictures eye and spot on top of it. It appears to be red there, so either you have the image from behind bleeding into the picture by mistake, or Vinyl has a bleeding forehead there. I guess if it WAS a bleeding forehead, it technically could go there. But then I keep wondering why does she have a bleeding forehead.

Aliased Images, we meet again. Really, nice job on the vector though, it looks flawless.
