First of all, this is a self-portrait. My very first one, and I kind of like the outcome. :P It's not perfect, not by far.. actually I think it could have been better than this, but I wanted to finish it. But yeah, I was trying out an almost completely different style and I haven't mastered it yet. I plan on doing more vexels in this style though, It's so much fun making it. :)
As you can see I had no idea what to do with the background, it was very hard.. The original picture is very dark, everything just fades into black but I didn't think that would turn out very nice with the style I vexelled it in. I have also tried making the background darker but it was just very hard with the hair.. So I basically drew some shapes and also used some premades of ti-fi.com/digitalbristle. Heh.

Rick 30 Jan 06 - 04.02am	Do you have PhotoShop, if yes then you can fix the original and bring it out better there are several techniques to lighten up the picture to bring out the unseen detail. If you like I can show you how it's done. As for the vexel nice style, this is a first for you. I don't see any thing else that looks like this, it's really very good. Please do more of these, there great!!!!! :)

4ngel 28 Jan 06 - 02.34pm	I like it! The style is very unique, and it's also a plus that it's a self-portrait. It's very creative, and that's how a self portrait should be.
