About my design

by smokeshell
Just a simple design with buddha... and an afro!



Black and white inks, nothing too fancy. Would look good on any color, and equally unisex.



Thanks for checking out my design!

Hi Aweb1492, yeah it's a 3d model. I recycled the buddha from an old design and added the afro and hair pic.

Actually, now that I think about it, everything I have submitted so far has been 3d, but all the others I end up exporting to Photoshop and Illustrator to give it a more vector look.

hey i have a question for you. i make my designs on 3ds max and have no way of controlling how many colors i use. is there something you do so that you can reduce the amount of colors used? thanks in advance.

yeah, when I want something to have an illustrated look and not a literal 3d render look, I render the image and port it into photoshop and clean it up a little bit, and then I add a stroke outline for definition and port that into illustrator and use the auto-trace feature where you can select the number of colors it uses. In most cases I only use between 3 and 6 colors with auto-trace, and then that gives it a nice comic-book look, and then I add some finishing touches in illustrator because auto-trace is usually far from perfect and leaves somethings to be desired for the final design. For this design I decided to just leave it looking 3d-ish, but I like the concept so I might remix it a bit and resubmit as a more illustrated vector image.
