my friend, had some images, and i saw a photo of a geisha chick, and i liked the figure of the girl, the long neck and chin. i wanted to replicate that figure and exagerate it a bit. this girl originally had the kimono, but when i started to do the vector shapes, and the lines was to simple and looked more like armor or some kind of mech suit. so i decided to take it that route, i liked the way it came out. makes me want to sculpt a bust out of the drawing in 3DS max .
but anyways. i used photoshop to create the vector shapes.

hope ya digs.
