# Photoreal Vector Beauties Uniquedee Renders Stunning Celebrities Using a Layered Approach By Jason Soy | Published 2012-05-25 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniquedee References: [cuded](http://www.cuded.com/2012/05/vector-digital-art-by-darung/) & [uniquedee.deviantart](http://uniquedee.deviantart.com/) DeviantART user Uniquedee, whose real name is Darang, manages to uses [vector graphics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vector-maps) in a manner that lessens the sterility of the software tool. Seen here are a handful of [celebrity portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portraius) the emerging artist has rendered, and the results are near hyperrealistic quality, but more importantly, they look as though they were analog drawings or paintings. For those unfamiliar with how vectors work, they allow users to produce [perfect shapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bezier-visualizer) that can be colored and layered on top of one another. Often times, the resulting images seem rather elementary or are looked down upon by other illustrators since a person can theoretically trace a perfect image, but Uniquedee’s use of vectors is so meticulously well done that she may as well have used an airbrush. If it weren’t for a few minor details, you’d think you were staring at photographs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Celebs](https://www.trendhunter.com/celebs) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Hyperrealistic Vector Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new techniques to create hyperrealistic images using vector graphics. - **Analog-style Vector Rendering:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop vector rendering techniques that mimic the appearance of analog drawings or paintings. - **Enhanced Vector Illustration Tools:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create improved vector illustration software with more advanced capabilities for realistic rendering. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Graphic Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate the use of hyperrealistic vector art in graphic design projects for enhanced visual appeal. - **Digital Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Pave the way for a new genre of digital art that combines vector graphics with analog-style rendering. - **Software Development:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new vector illustration tools and software to cater to the growing demand for hyperrealistic vector art. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Efficient Vector Graphics Softwares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vector-graphics-software.md) - [Instant Design Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vectorubi.md) - [AI Portrait Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portraitia.md) - [AI-Generated Self-Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/persona-ai.md) - [3D-to-Vector Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mesh-tonic.md) - [Stylized Portrait Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/face-to-all.md) - [Digital AI-Generated Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/picsart-1.md) - [AI Character Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hedra-stylize.md) - [AI Avatar Creations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/faceless-avatar.md)
