i REALLY like the flower. it's so.. nicely done.
congrats (i remember vaguely reading somewhere about you saying you wanted to move away from pure vectoring a photograph and learning to make your own without references) on only using references for the face. a small piece of advice that i can think of regarding that from my own experience is that a LOT of fashion, "stylish" photos are not good to use if you only take a small portion out of it. the face in this vector looks dead - her eyes are expressionless and cold, and while expressionless is "okay" if put into context of a model displaying clothes or fashion, taken out of context into something as "soft" as the image you've created makes it look... like it doesn't fit.
i'm also not sure if i like the contrast in style between the hair and the face and the flower. the flower is very detailed, and the face is very detailed, but the hair looks relatively cartoon-style. so i'm ... not sure how that's supposed to work out.
i'm sorry, it must really sound like i hate the image and i'm putting so much effort into tearing it apart. i really like the color choice and the idea, it's just some of the individual components don't go too well together. |

haha yeah, just stick a phone number on there and 'Day Spa' and it'd be the perfect ad =) when i saw this, the first thing that came to mind was 'shower.' =) cos it's like really peaceful and relaxed... and showers make me feel that way. i love this one! |

I just visited your user page and you have at least four vexels I wasn't aware of being uploaded : /
This is very pretty, Linda, and I'm glad you seem to be happy with it. The hair, lips and skin are all top-notch. The hair is also very nice- I was wondering, though, did you actually make it the size of the big one? What screen resolution do you use if so? That thing is massive!
Reply from
I am very very sneaky :P
My screen resolution is only 1024x768, I made it the size of the big one. I like to make it big because it's easier to put the detail in. But then I lose detail when I scale it down -_-
I am working on one now which is like 3000 pixels wide :( It's taking my computer a long time to load but it's a commission and they want it that big :(

Thanks :) Yep I'm married, our 1 year anniversary is in a couple of weeks :D
The original image was that big, I just scaled it down before I uploaded it because I'm lazy +_+

My favourite thing about this is how you used one of the simplest forms of shading, yet the nose is perfectly defined.
She's looking very relaxed. Lovely work. |

Wow Linda, you never fail to make something that makes me go sick with jealousy ;]
Love it, as usual *thumbs up*
I agree with Vee and Moorepocket, do a tut on the hair! It looks so simple like that, but if I would have tried it, it would probably be all de-formed.. |
