are they actually vectors, or just images with a filter on them?
Images with a filterI wrote an explanation and then got side-tracked by work and that. This is it:
I guess you've not been on /board at about 7:30 British time for the last year or so then. The quick precis: Wobbly enjoyed making filtered "vectors" of "celebrities" on their birthdays, masking out their eyes and clothes and occasionally a couple of other things. Sometimes they looked pretty good, other times they just looked like they'd been posterised. He did this daily. A few people didn't like them all that much and took the piss. After a few weeks of piss-taking WB gave up in disgust.
Edit: haha, I just saw Maiden's description in the thread you posted.
He makes the shite and then asks for request for more shite, people make shite suggestions, and feel somehow touched and special that shite is created for them according to their shite suggestion, this in turns justifies the need for more shite and thus a supply and demand is created for an endless spiral of shite.
*Sings* It's the Cir-cle the Cir-cle of Shite!
Sorry Wobbly Bloke, you really need to let this one go now. I wasn't being deliberately mean Jeremy Clarkson made me do it! ;)
I don't think he should have left, I just think he should have remembered what B3ta is: a puerile digital arts community, where people will happily rip into you because, well, that's what B3ta is.

I think I'll give it a try, just to see the reactionThis will involve a flight and then tracking down exactly which bus she's driving, but still, it'd be interesting.
