I did this like 3 times. each time when i was almost finished i clicked something accidentally and lost the entire path i just mapped out with the pen tool. Gimp isn’t as fancy as photoshop so i couldn’t get back the path after i lost it. Either that or I’m just an inexperienced gimp user.. It could be either one, i feel no shame in saying i’m a gimp surface user (noob). Anyway  I did it over and over and over untill i finally got it done. selected from path and inverted to get exactly what i wanted. I then added a grey scale over the layer to give it a darker look as the original was reallly bright and tada.. here is the product of masane aka masa-mune of the anime witchcblade. Vectoring is quite fun however it seems I have much to learn as this doesn’t look as good as it could have.. however this isn’t vectored from a scan but from a carefully taken screenshot of a witchblade episode.
