A vexel of the beautiful Angie in the movie Tomb Rider. The background is a screenshot of the game.
A lot of work went into this and I'm very proud of the outcome. I spent the past sunday working on every single (damn) strand of hair. Hope you like it!

Full Version

Ps: I don't want to act like a poor victim, but my hand is actually hurting from clicking too much! The next person I vexel is going to be bald! lol

Looking at your comment i was just going to say you must have some long days & nites on this. It paid off for you and i hope your hand gets better. I don't like it... I love it, we're going to run off together! I know.... it's just a picture, let me have my moment. Can i use this for my desktop... please?
She's purrfect, even the eyelashes are well done. A beautiful job well done. A double *squeeze ya!* for this.
Reply from Ilaria
Lol thank you so much! Of course you can use it on your desktop, I'd be honored! And about my hand: it will get better, it's just that vexelling and writing notes for the exam I'm studying for gave it a hard time!

Wow this is amazing, the way you shade is absoultly beautiful, you should make a tuturial! lol i really think you should. You have great talent! =D
Reply from Ilaria
Thank you :)
I don't know about the tutorial: first because my vexelling techniques are different from time to time, then because I'm very lazy and making a tutorial requires time.. but I MIGHT make a walkthrough for this vexel. We'll see :)

*in steps the Angie obsessive*
You have done an amazing job on this - I am in love with the eyes - how life like yet how smooth and cartoon like they are - very very good.
The hair is fab - however it could have been made better on the hairline and maybe adding some darker hair strands to make it look more realistic?
I think the skin shading is absolutely fab! How ever could I suggest something? Maybe adding more contrast to areas such as the ear, nose, eye socket and under the chin.

I am sorry if I have picked at it too much - all said and done - this is probably one of the best Angie vexels on here :D *hugs*

I fav'd it on DA and I am gonna fav it here :)
Reply from Ilaria
Thank you so much Shaz. And don't worry if you picked at it, I appreciate it if you give me suggestions cause I have a lot to learn from you. I'd like people to be honest and say it when something doesn't work so I can make it better next time.
With that said, you're totally right about the hairline...I think I got lazy on that after spending so many hours on the rest of the hair. I know laziness is the first enemy of every vexel, but trust me all those strands killed my back and hand lol.
About the skin shading, I realize it needs more contrast, and I did try to add more layers but somehow they didn't look good. I might try again later though ;)
Thank you for the comment and the fab, it's really motivating to receive the appreciation of someone you admire :D

This is LOVE. You really improved the eyebrow. The lips are just woa and the eyes are beautiful.. great job on the skintone as well, though maybe you can add just a little more contast? Well anyway, this vexel comes close to being perfect. :D

How cheap, you favorited your own work ; P The hair is great, I think it adds a little bit more of a cartoonish look to the vexel as a whole while still being quality. I can't pick a favorite part of this vexel. The lips are absolutely flawless but the eye is amazing and unreal. I can't believe how well you did on the clear, bulging-out part of the eye over the iris (am I making no sense to anyone else?). It's wonderful.
Reply from Ilaria
lol..well, echo, I can't really say I'm a modest person..so yeah, I like my vexel and I'm going to favourite it :P yay!
Thanks for your comment, it was sweet. About the hair and the cartoonish look, yeah you're right. No matter how I try to make realistic vexels they always end up being cartoonish...that doesn't mean it's something bad...just not what I was going for..
The eye...I really don't know how it could come out like that. I just kept adding layers and somehow the white bulge popped out..lol!
