I Will Follow You Into The Dark
My first sucessful (i think!) greyscale vexel :) If you can't tell, and I don't blame you if you can't, it's of the beautiful Natalie Portman.

I love the skin on this. I really hope I managed to pull off the 'knitted jumper' effect....yes i painstakingly drew each of those dots lol.

Plleeassee take a look at the full sized version- resized doesn't do it much justice: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y115/retrowings/vexel15_full.jpg

Named after an awesome Death Cab song :)

edit// for reference, here's the original:

Carina		 I like this a lot- especially the hair and eyebrows. The only critique I have is that you need to shade the eyeballs, they look flat.

Edit: Well, you don't have to follow the orig exactly :).

the whites of the eyes were really difficult. check out the original, there's hardly any shading on the eyeballs at all:
