Autocorrect.

I definitely got it right first time. I follow your art, sir. I have a Hickenbottom in my phone, so it corrected.

# Cheers
Folks get it wrong all the time, so i figured you misspelt it :-P

Its certainly... a memorable surname though. I used to hate it and heard every piss-take of it under the sun (especially at school), but now i dont mind it, as im too old to be bothered :-)

# Nah
It's great. I prefer unusual names. If it's semi-rude then all the better.

# I had a mate at school called Sidebottom
We couldnt decide who had the most embarrasing name :-)

# Out of interest
by "vector" do people these days really mean "smoothed and posterised" or is that just how it ends up looking?

# im sure there is a proper method and lots of work involved
but it just looks like a colour reduction to me most of the time.

# so far as i can tell
the proper method takes hours. you basically isolate a part of a picture you want to colour in one shade, and trace it properly with a vector path. then you apply a shading to the area inside, make a new layer, trace the next bit of colour, apply a shading, and rinse and repeat for fucking HOURS. the result is a very smooth image that, if you've done it right, can be blown up to arbitrary scales since it's a vector.

most of what i see on here looks like posterising, though it's normally a bit smoother than just posterising so i guess it's had some touch-up work.

just curious, really.
