Part two of my vector tutorial.
Part One: [link]Edit: Somebody told me there is a sweet tool in Illustrator CS5 called the Width Tool. It lets you change the width of lines at specific points without having to convert strokes to outlines! I suggest you use that. Check out this tutorial:
[link]All you need to do is add a width point at the end of the stroke, double-click it, and change the total width to zero.
Edit two: I was informed of the "Draw Inside" tool also found in CS5. This tool automates the usage of clipping masks and makes them much easier to use. Check out a video

With a vector knowledge... Now it's time to to get to the next level.. Time to learn Animation xD
I think I found a solution : export it in 72ppi ( :/ ) and then crop it in Photoshop. => Save for the Web, the warning message is still here, but it can export it as a PNG !
I think it has to do with the image size, not dimensions. So if it were 9000x1000 (9mil pixels) it might work, but 5000x5000 (25mil pixels) is too much.
(Final result: [link])
Thank you!
I think I got a little carried away with the number of layers in my image. :/
It's exceedingly difficult to create fills without selecting a bunch of lines and layers I don't want to touch. I don't suppose there would happen to be some kind of paintbucket, magic wand, or simple fill tool?
(Curse my dependence on photoshop...)
There may be some kind of fill tool... I'm not familiar with the new versions. D: I know, I use Photoshop all the time, too! That's one of the downsides to vectors, though. You lose stuff like paint buckets and selection wands. You can try Google, though. That might help.
I'll let you know how it works out.
