This wasn't enjoyable at all. And I think it shows through my work this time. I can't think of one part of this vexel that wasn't difficult. The skin shading was hard, and the hair was painful. There were so many strands in all sorts of directions, which made it difficult to find the flow of her hair, if u know what I mean. By the time i had finished with the hair alone, I was all vexel/vectored out, and i just wanted to give up lol

The beads were very hard, but then again what in this vexel wasn't? My Christina Applegate vexel was much easier on all terms. She had very little skin shading and the lighting was ideal. This was far from the case with this one and i'm afraid it doesn't live up to it due to its level of difficulty.

If anyone is interested, here is a link to the detailed areas that you probably won't see because it's been resized: http://www.fleur-du-monde.com/michelledetail.jpg.

EDIT:::: I realized I prefer it with a darker background. I chose these colors b/c they match her lipstick and shirt. Maybe I may use a pattern or actually vexel a background for her, but for now this is all I have.

seizuresonfloors 18 Jan 06 - 12.32am	Girl, you are on a frikkin role. Natalie should be jealous. EXTREMELY jealous. The ear doesn't look wierd at all (I assum it is her earlobe showing?) The only thing that seems wierd to me is the left side hair. It needs more strays and loose hair;looks too contained and perfect. fave
missjackietoyou 17 Jan 06 - 10.39pm	that is simply amazing. :D
*anneclaire44** 17 Jan 06 - 11.12am	Well done! That is a really different piece!! Amazing!!!
Bebe 16 Jan 06 - 06.56pm	WOOOOOOOOOOOW that's nuts! Amazing!
arenys92 16 Jan 06 - 02.04pm	speechless EDIT: something is wrong for the ear... dont u think so? :-? Reply from Joaris333 yess the ear gave me problems. Originally she had a ton of strands over running from her temple over the top of her ear and all that was showing was the hole. The hair itself created an odd shadow which is the reason for the shading difficulties. But maybe when my skill improves, I will go back and correct that.
eldvakt 15 Jan 06 - 02.46pm	i love this! it's very well done and i don't think it shows that you didn't enjoy it :) great work :D
lisa_mg 15 Jan 06 - 02.44pm	Oh my gosh! SO amazing! Just the beads! And the eyes, I love them.

radioslutx 15 Jan 06 - 02.46am	Oh wow, the beads, the hair and the eyes are just flawless and amazing. <3
Rick 14 Jan 06 - 07.12pm	Ariel if your going to make them this good, then to be fair you have close one eye and you have to use your nose with the mouse. This is just too good, now stop it! you make me look stupid. haha!
lilartistgrrl 14 Jan 06 - 02.41pm	The lips and the beads are HAWT! I think this is a great vexel, and hopefully the next one you do won't be so hard.
angelica86 14 Jan 06 - 10.51am	I am sooooo jealous!! It looks so beautiful! I first thought it was a real pic of hers. It is amazing!!
morten 14 Jan 06 - 07.46am	WOW!! This is just crazy... It's really amazing.. Sad though, that you didn't enjoy it... But beauty has a high price ;)
marta 14 Jan 06 - 05.38am	I love it. Hair looks like masterpiece, so does skin. Actually I like everything, nose is amazing, eyes, lips whoa :P
Azur3skye 14 Jan 06 - 04.43am	Wow, I love your work soo much. It's so cool because I'm actually working on a Michelle Trachtenberg vexel as well! :) I really like the eyes and skin shading. I really like how the teeth and lips are.. I have trouble with teeth and shadows on it. The beads are amazing, too.
Linda 14 Jan 06 - 12.47am	Ahh it sucks you didn't enjoy it but I think the outcome is amazing. My favourite part is the beads, they are so perfect. You pulled the red lips of very well, normally people either go for neutral shades because red is soo hard to get right. Reply from Joaris333 haha thanks so much for the wonderful comments! they mean a lot to me. I think it's growing on me as I look at the finished product, so that's a good thing heh.
luxurious 13 Jan 06 - 11.32pm	i like the hair
Carina 13 Jan 06 - 11.02pm	The hair, eyes and beads are absolutely stunning. The hair looks really soft. Congratulations!
thatsneakyfox 13 Jan 06 - 09.59pm	Oh, wow... That hair is amaaaazing... I also love the lips and eyes... Is it just me, or is there one tiny blob of the lip that sticks out? Hehe...
Trinidadhunni 13 Jan 06 - 08.17pm	The hair is amazing. Your shading is nice..
Ilaria 13 Jan 06 - 05.10pm	No matter how hard it could be, I really love the outcome, especially the lips, nose, eyes and hair. I think it would have looked even better on a darker background, but those are just details ;) edit: I like it so much better now! Reply from Joaris333 YAY! :) thanks for the advice! I prefer it too hehe
Rosie 13 Jan 06 - 04.35pm	I agree this looks painful and there's nothing worse than just having to push on a do something your finding boring. BUT however i don't think it shows, this vector is again beautiful, and i think every vector you make is now getting better each time. Beautiful :)
retrowings 13 Jan 06 - 04.07pm	wow I love it! The lips are gorgeous, and the hair is sooo good :D
Karin 13 Jan 06 - 03.48pm	I can understand why you had difficulties, but it sure doesn't show in your work. This is one amazing vexel. I love the whole thing. The lips are great, the eyes are very realistic, great skinskading, the hair is just woow, and I love the beads. I think it's even better than you Christina Applegate vexel. Can't wait to see your next vexel!
Lisette 13 Jan 06 - 03.37pm	This is going on my fav list. I'm most jealous of your hair vexelling skills. And lip-skills, oh and your eye vexel skills afcourse. Ah what the hell, I love it all, and I'm just damn jealous!
Raelynn 13 Jan 06 - 03.34pm	You did a wonderful job on the hair, I can see how it was hard. The lips are my favorite part.
lilvdzwan 13 Jan 06 - 03.24pm	She's beautiful! Her eyes are gorgeous! You did that really good! I also love her hand, necklace and nose! You are really good with skinshading! The hair sure worked out fantastic, I can see you put a lot of effort in it! thumbs up
