I feel it in the air; the Summer's out of reach

...But I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone...

ahh :D Summer.
This vexel has been created on and off over about a week. Total time to create this was about 20-something hours, im guessing. Total layer count is 808. The hair has a million different vexelling styles, including solid blocks of colour, gradient, stroke paths and, yes, even painting. ;)

I had heaps of fun doing this :D Thanks to everyone who watched my progression. <3

Linda 29 Dec 05 - 12.32am	I can't believe I didn't comment on this yet :o It turned out INCREDIBLE.. like seriously one of the best vexels I've ever seen. I LOVE that I can still see the layers, even though there are lots of them, it doesn't look like it's blurry at all you know? That's my most favourite type of vexel! The hair is so beautiful and I love the bangle and the earring.. especially how on the earring you can see what kind of shape it would be.. like it doesn't look flat. You are amazing :o Reply from Sarah hugs thankyou so much Linda :D I love the earing too - it's my favourite part with the bangle. :D

Shannon 26 Dec 05 - 05.32pm	Absolutely amazing. Reply from Sarah <3
Shaz 26 Dec 05 - 05.23pm	Don Henley <3 the song gave me the same inspiration for one of my vexels. Amazing vexel Sarah - you keep on out doing yourself... I love seeing how much you keep on out doing yourself more and more. I really like how you have done the hair - you can tell you have put a lot into this. The accessories also look great - I love how plastic they actually look! The only thing that does bug me though and I am sorry to be negative on such an amazing vexel, is underneath her chin... it stood out to me.. I think it's the reddish tone layer. Overall, I think you have made a vexel which is worthy of as much praise and more that I feel you are going to get for this. Well done Sarah <3 Reply from Sarah Thankyou Shaz, your comment means a lot to me :) I have put a lot into this, and I finally feel as if I am ready to create vexels for my body of work next year. I'm happy with my vexels, and how I create them. :D Yes, I do agree that there is a bit too much red under her chin. Unfortunately, ive merged the layers and can't edit it too easilly. It also seems to change monitor to monitor: It seems okay on my monitor (then again, my monitor is shit house) but on my mums computer and boyfriend's haptop, the colour is /very/ unlike what i created it as. :( Sorry it's looking funny for you! Thankyou again, Shaz!
