Classic Sophistication
My goal was to kind of edit the original picture to end with more "golden" hues, making it less bright or lower in contrast and just very sophisticated.

My comeback vexel for 2006 =) I wanted to start off fresh, sorta new. I hated the realistic style I was going toward because it felt like a waste of my time, so I decided to go along the route of lineart. And I Love It. I wanted to do less shading and I did it. I'm still trying to find my happy medium though, so I think I'm getting there after this one.

I love her hair, her lips, her dress (except in some spots) and especially the background ^_^. Comments/criticism appreciated. <3

Seriously now... That is just ridiculous... I mean... How the hell is a noobie like me supposed to sleep at night when there is this kind of awesomeness in existence. God I hate you. In the nicest way possible, of course.

Welcome back Annette! I really missed you! I could try to describe in detail all the things I like about this vexel, but I guess my comment would become an essay! It's just perfect in all of its aspects.

WOW! Amazing! =D Love it.

There's something about the eyes that bug me though ... perhaps the colour? Not white enough? Meh.

It's still uber fab! =D Great work.
Reply from
Yeah it kinda bugs me on and off too.. I think when you look at it as a whole, you can see why it's not 100% white, but when you focus on it as that one part, it does look odd. Ehh I studied it too much LOL Thank you =D

Ahh! Long time no vexel! I think it's AMAZING! The line art is perfect.. like, I mean perfect. You totally pulled it off. I am not keen on lineart when the lines are really thick and obtrusive but your lines are:
1) not black, yay
2) not thick but still there
3) still varying widths to give the feeling of depth.
The hair is so cute too. I could tell the legs were amazing just from the thumbnail O_o
Reply from
Ahh thank you! I was hoping the line art came out okay, so thank you =D
