Description
My first vector piece. I had this idea in my head that was inspired by the song "Symptom Finger" by the Faint."Don't admit you're sick- let your fit body bury it - the faintness that you feel - is nothing permanent
don't buy the sickness on T.V. - you want your health they want the fee - you see the ads and start to think, "I feel it coming on"
no no target market television - telepharmevangelism - symptom finger
i'm gonna shut it off - gonna down all the power
i'm a doctor today - i'm curing viewers by thousands
you open up and let them in - it's nothing conscious what is this - i feel a burning in my eye - it's from the television lights
slow... slow it down - wait now decide...
okay...
i'm gonna shut it off - down all the power - i'm a doctor today - i'm curing viewers by thousands
you've got to get the shit they sell - the pills that fix the way to feel
now they've shown you what to get - you feel it coming on
low... low lowdown - high paid - primetime capsule maker - sickness lover"
(With some repeated chorus deleted)
*****************
This whole thing took me about 10 hours. I know, it's a lot but I am new to this and I'm sure every vector I do after this I will become faster and see my progress.
The original image of the nurse that I used for reference was taken by *tvds and the model was ~ulorinvex It was an awesome image to work with and exactly what I had in my mind- I searched all over the stock photos here on DA looking for the right one.

'I searched all over the stock photos here on DA looking for the right one.' !!!
hey, i appreciate the credit, but this is NOT a stock photo! i didnt give you permission to use it like this :/ If ~tvds gave you permission then that's fine, but did he?

Yes he did. If you would like I could give you a copy of our e-mail that I asked him permission. I got the photo from his gallery, so before I even started the work on it I messaged him.

sorry for the harsh message, i just keep finding people using my pictures without asking and thinking that theres nothing wrong with that. thanks for asking thomas first

No problem! I just knew it was very important to get permission first that's why I e-mailed him before I even started working on it.

that's great that you did a work of art that's based off a song by the faint, for some reason I see that as a huge challenge, good job.

Wow thanks! I actually want to do a whole series on their songs. Vector stuff takes forever though. :-P
It seems not many people who like the faint have seen my little deviation here.

Everytime I look at this I get the song stuck in my head...
Good job on the pills.
The texture on the costume is great.
The needle works well.
I went back and looked at the original, [link] . I do not have the eye for what you did, picking out all the colors.... crazy.

Yeah- I've been listening to the song a lot lately. :-P Thanks for posting that link to the original. I suppose I should have put that in the description next to the link to the model and photographer.
Thanks for your critique- if you can think of anything else, let me know!

Yeup. It was a LOT of clicking with the pen tool, outlining different color shapes. There were about 80 layers or more in the nurse that were stacked to create the image. I am planning on doing more. I'm going to do a whole series similar to this one. Thanks for your comment!
