Why am I still confused?!!?! Update

Wed Apr 28, 2010, 12:35 PM
Top Bird




UPDATE:  Okay, so I got some great advice and replies from fellow DA'ers, so I think I'm clear on the difference with vector, vexels, and mixed media.  Unfortunately that means that most of my artwork isn't 100% vector, or a vexel, so I can't contribute to the groups I belong to :(  I actually feel kind of hurt in a way, because all the groups out there are for vectors or vexels, but much of my work is considered mixed media, and nobody seems to like that. How disappointing

Argh, no matter what I do I never seem to get it right, is there anyone who can tell me what category to place my artwork in?  I put a piece in Vexel, because it was a vector piece with a background texture, based on this statement in vexel gallery submission c) A vector piece (excluding gmesh) with raster elements (Textures, patterns, dropshadows, outerglows) But I'm told that my piece is a mixed media piece.  See I thought that a photograph of a texture was a raster element, but I guess it's not, or is it?  All you awesome group admins that watch me, could you help me just a little bit on this one, so I don't keep getting rejected.

^brgtt rocks! Glad she answered your question :) There are always 'Vections' for the mixed media vectors, but yes, using the trace feature for a background or texture helps heaps! Trace is your friend :D

Yay!! I think there's a place for every kind of art on dA, sometimes it just takes a little longer to find it :) I'm glad you're happy!! :tighthug:

awww, thank you! :hug: I find it so hard sometimes to categorize my stuff, though I usually only have to worry about that when it's for groups.

I think ^brgtt helped out already with the links and info.
I just wanted to reply to your update: Don't worry, I love mixed media! It gives more options to be endless creative! :nod:


And there are vector textures, maybe you can work with that? :aww:

If you go to #vector-artists group, they have a wonderful FAQ on vector and vexel. You should check it out, it helped me alot.
