Hugo of Lost

So, this is Hugo aka Hurley of the series Lost. This is for the Lost Collab.
I worked for over a week on this, because as you might have noticed, the face and clothes are all gradients (the hair is not). I have worked with them before but never on a face so it was quite a challenge. However, I really liked working with them, they're great and I also really like the look they create.
And now the subject. I just love Hurley's character, the way he says 'dude' and his dry humour. Also I have noticed that I have never vexelled a fat person, or a person that doesn't entirely match the beauty ideal (well apart from myself), so I decided that it was about time! I can tell you that it was a lot of fun vexelling someone with flaws and not the perfect body, more than you would expect. :) I think the character of a person becomes more visible in a picture when he/she isn't all that pretty. I hope I captured his character for a bit and that I did him justice. :) In any case I think this is one of my best ones so far (because I succeeded in using gradients properly, heh :P)

This is at 70% of the original size.

atropos 21 Jul 06 - 01.46am	Absolutely fabulous! It is about time some vexelled a person that wasn't teh stereotypical beauty (I coun't myself guilty for doing this too). I think he looks lovely. What a sweety. :) You've really done an excellent job on the gradients. I've never worked with them before, but I gather they're as hard as hell to use well. I've gotta fav this.
