Wow, I finally finished. I started this ages ago, changing things as I went. I wasn't going to do it realistically but I decided too. This is my last one for a while though. I don't see the point in them (and now I know that I can do them) because you might as well look at the origonal photo. So I'm going to try and be more creative. I must! Big thanks to *j3concepts for his help with everything. Absolutely no photoshop cheating on this, no mesh tool, just the pen tool, gradients and my mouse. Daily deviantion suggestions appreciate. Mwhaha. Let me know if you want to see the line work or some close ups! It looks neat as close as well!

CHRISTINARRR 9 Nov 05 - 12.47am	this is amazing. absolutely amazing. i am not a fan of hers, but you made her just beautiful. especially the hair. oh man.
yellowschwester 10 Oct 05 - 10.49pm	Awesome. I agree with the majority: Absolutely gorgeous and very, very realistic. The hair is aboslutely awesome. I'd love to see more of your vexels. More, more, more. Nevertheless I do get your point. Because actually making realistic vexels of pictures does not seem to make sense to me. ... I've been thinking about that one a lot. But still, I want to improve until I getto a point of satisfaction. Until that, there's still enough time to think about vexels. Let's see how far I get. Anyways, this definitely is one of the best vertors I've ever seen. Gorgeous! ( I don't like Hilary, tho. ) <3

Mattness 27 Sep 05 - 12.36pm	WOW. MY GEE. :O that hair just rocks. and so does the rest.
b0o 27 Sep 05 - 10.02am	holy shit this rocks i agree with EVERYTHING shado said especially " but when they look at your work they scrutinize every square inch and wonder how you created the hair" so dont say this is ur last i would LOVE to see more of this i fricken love the hair on this
Shado 27 Sep 05 - 09.33am	superb, but to create something this good and then say you don't see the point is a crime against art, when people look at the photo you used for this piece thats all they see "a photo" they don't study it intently and wonder how the photographer created the clothes (co's he did'nt) but when they look at your work they scrutinize every square inch and wonder how you created the hair or how you did the texture for the clothes and how they would never have thought to use a green gradient for the background, to you it's just an image that took you days to complete but to the viewer it's a source of inspiration and a standard they would like to achieve, so don't just throw it away lets see some more of your work and maybe a tutorial if you have the time :) Reply from wow thatnks for putting it that way!!
marta 27 Sep 05 - 07.48am	That's just OMG, hair looks amazing, everything looks amazing! :o

starla 27 Sep 05 - 01.44am	I don't like the chick.. But I LOVE this vexel. I think your stringy hair technique works for this vexel. Normally, I'd hate stringy hair.. But damn, this works out well. And the skin is so smooth. Her eyes are so entrancing.

O___O And the eyes, dammit, this is awesome!! The lips, and the skin looks sooo smooth, and the shirt... wow, wow.. i'm really in love with the hair! I'm going to add you to my favorites! ^__^ Reply from thanks :D expansiondesign.deviantart.com
