Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome my best vexel ever. I can't believe I could actually accomplish something like this...*feels very proud*
It's named Kioko, which is a common japanese name. Well everything is japanese themed, the girl, the fan, the almond tree background.
I had lots of fun with the hair (yeah, I followed the trend and went "simulate pressure" crazy this time!), make up and the fan! So well, if you like it too...vote for me on the vexel competition!

Ps: For a closeup click here http://www.deviantart.com/view/25420025/

Ps: Silly me, I had not uploaded it on the competition page..so I lost all the comments and the faves :'(

Instead of just vexeling an image, you also 'airbrushed' it in a creative way. What I mean by that is how different [in the good sense] she looks from the original picture. You've made her... BEAUTIFUL! The fan, the tones, the nose, and all the little details [the fingernail colors] you put into this are wonderful, and incredibly pulled together [the background goes so well]. You SHOULD be proud! Wow factor - 21445154/10
XD

-edit
I ' ' it because I meant to say you did so well, it was airbrushing by vexelling. LOL sorry for the confusion ;p I've always loved your vexels and I'm sure you never airbrush <3
Reply from
Thank you for your comment. The only thing I need to point out is that I didn't airbrush anything: the soft look is given by the use of gradients and layers set at a very low opacity :)
I didn't like much the face of the girl in the reference photo, so I tried to make her features rounder and cuter. Luckily I succeeded :D

This is amazing. I love the fact that you gave it a face, I found the actual image to be overexposed and looked kind of hard to work with so I decided not to (at least not at this time). The fan is so gorgeous. The hand is amazing. The eyeshadow is perfect and the lips are devine (am I getting my point across?) The eyemakeup is just... wow. I love the eyebrow also, the highlight under it and the eye itself. I know I mentioned it but the nose the nose the NOSE!

You made this girl pretty- I thought she was pretty boring and bland. And another thing- the 'distance' you have represented from the lips to the teeth is very impressive.

Thank you sooo much for the flattering comment, it was really sweet! I didn't like too much the original image, but I wanted so much to partecipate to the competition..also I've never been the best at closeups, so it was very challenging for me. But reading your comment I can presume it was worth it!
