That's pretty sweet.

If you plan on doing anymore sometime soon I suggest (T)NaDa, (P)Reach or (Z)Jaedong

your title is very misleading.. i thought there were actual vectors..

or art terms and technical terms don't play along nicely. art needs to fix itself

they are not vectors. they are pixels.

My title isn't misleading at all
This is a true vector; download the photoshop file if you don't believe me (PM me if you want me want me to reload it, although I doubt many people downloaded it)
I realize that some extremists (and the uninformed) believe that Photoshop cannot create vectors, but they are wrong

First off, what is a vector?
"Vector graphics is the use of geometrical primitives such as points, lines, curves, and shapes or polygon(s), which are all based on mathematical equations, to represent images in computer graphics." Source
Yes, Photoshop does use mathematical equations to create their vector shapes

"but wait, i see pixels when i zoom in?!? that's not a true vector!!!"
Yes, this is because Photoshop is primarily a raster-based program.
But you're doing it wrong. Instead of zooming in, try doubling the size of the vector. Or tripling. Or quadrupling.
Surprise surprise, it doesn't pixelate!

So yes, Photoshop can create actual vectors.

illustrator is for vector-based work and photoshop is for pixel-based work.

If you use shapes in Photoshop, then it creates vectors, not pixels. Looking at this fantasy picture, Dead9 probably used the pen tool to create the shapes which form the fantasy image. That means the PSD contains vectors. However, the jpeg is obviously rasterized, so if you zoom in on that you'll get pixellation and what not.

Pardon my newbishness. But isn't there a software to automatically vectorize that kind of thing? It doesn't look difficult. It's just a matter of looking for the neighbor pixels with similar colors until you cannot find any more (just like the bucket tool does) then make an object out of it. Paint that object with the average color from those pixels. You'd need to manually set the threshold for each object probably, so it separates the only things you want. But it would still take years less time than clicking on each vertex.

I know there are many raster -> vector tools. Tho I never used them extensively. Couldn't they be used to speed up this type of work?
Great people talk about ideas. Average people talk about things. Small people talk about other people.

I was scared to use shading that was too dark/too light =X

And yeah, there are programs to make those, but they don't look very good
