Friend or Foe
When I saw this picture.. I saw more than just similar models, I saw a whole story that the image could capture. How the left model is of a lower living than the right, who lives wealthy. The image captures a pivital moment: will they remain friends let aside their differences? Or will society's expectations get the best of their friendship?

Lily and I tried to capture their likeliness: the dark eye shadow, the hair colour, skin colour. Yet by the messyness of the left hair and the cleanliness of the right girl's coat - there are still obvious opposites.

This took about 9 hours of work from each person.. but it was very fun to do!!

I would of never been able to tell that this was a collab, the sytles are so similar, which matches perfectly twith the mesage you're trying to portay. I find the background kind of out of place, but the colors definitely match the girls. The shading of the skin is amazing, you can see the similarities even with the sahding. The hair was done well, with the cleaninless on the right being a great contrast to the messiness of the left. Great job.


EDIT/////////: I didn't say I didn't like the background, because I do. It just seems a little too, I don't know, vintage-y? The girls are just so beautiful (seeing as you took them from models) it seems like the background is just a little dull against them. What's acutally IN the background is perfect, very fitting, it's just that the whole dull thing. And I don't mean to offend you! It's a wonderful vexel, but I just felt like I needed to point that out.

I love the description to this, but I think the poorer woman is too clean. Her skin should be streaked with dirt or wrinkled; her shirt should have rips, etc. I can understand it might be difficult to vexel, but that would definitely get hte message out much better. I didn't get the message from just looking at the message--the girl on teh right actually doesn't look that much wealthier. Maybe add some gray/white strands to the other girl's hair?
It's a wonderful idea and throws out a great message. The vexels themselves are smooth and done extremely nicely. =) The composition of this piece is superb! great work!

I love it. It's very nice when vexel have a concept behind it, and it's even nicer when the vexel is also eyecandy !!
I love the colors the most. They are vivid, but not bright, it that makes any sense. They look kind of vintage.

The story makes this beautiful piece even more attractive. It is developing even further in my head.
And like everybody said; the vexels themselves are so good. They're the same, but also very different, which makes it so interesting to look at!

I'd love to see the original picture if you still have it?
