Cadet Officer
This took me about 3 days on and off I had planned to make this since I saw the competition. I was hoping to get this done by September 11 but I didn't have time. When I first saw the original picture the hand kinda looked like a salute to me so I decided to make a U.S. Cadet ^_^ I did my best to be original and it kinda upset me that I noticed Sarah made a cadet too but oh well, mines totally different :P

I definately didn't want to do a bra like everyone else so i put on a uniform for her and I used this picture as a guide: http://images.tvnz.co.nz/tvnz_images/tv2/movies/wk15_cadetkelly_d.jpg

The hand I did all by myself without a picture, and it was really hard to figure out how to vexel it so it'd look like a salute!! *whew* I had trouble playing around with that and i'm still not very satisfied with it :/ I'll fix it someday in the future =P

The flag was not vexeled because i'm lazy lol, and i got pictures from google for the bg.

Anyways, i'd like some feedback, and be gentle on the critism :P I know I possibly might not win, tough competition but I tried. I did this vexel instead of my homework so I'm doomed for class tomorrow -_-; hehe Thanks for viewing! ^_^

-Dedicated to those victims/lives lost from September 11th and the recent tragedy of Hurricane Katrina.-

..Done in PSP7...

*Edits* I lightened the bg ;)

looks good =P hand looks a little more than awkward in colour and the thumb is ... out there, but it looks good though the hair seems as if its not there too. But I must say, Hurricane Katrina? wtf? That was a natural disaster and said troops were bloody late.
Reply from
ehh thanks, yeah i know i based the hand by just looking at mine own without using any picture.. maybe i'll define the hair more later.. and it's just dedicated to hurricane katrina lol, it was so sad i just had to include that disaster too :P

Great concept. I really like this, the only thing I would say is that maybe you should make the hand a tad bit bigger. I love the background, but maybe you could lower the opacity a bit, so that it's really in the back, if you get what I mean.
Reply from
yeah the hand was complicated, i did it all by just looking at my own hand O_O I couldn't find a good resource picture to vexel from. :/ but i tried :P

Wow truly amazing! I had a similar idea that I initially started doing... with the salute thing... but I'm glad I changed my mind because you certainly outdid what I came up with! I love the flag in the front. Gorgeous. ;D

I really like the concept.. I'm a little iffy on the background though. The flag and the vexel are lovely. The vexel itself is amazing since you completely changed the picture. The only thing I don't like is the blended background. It's a bit busy.
Reply from
yeah that's what i thought too and i had made it a little lighter, i'll change it again later :D
