I decided to try something a little different, and once I found this picture, I knew what that "something different" would be. The finished result will be somewhat different, but the duck will be the same.
That looks really good so far! I can't wait to see what the scenery is gonna be :) I would outlines the edges though to make them look smoother because now they're a bit too sharp :)
The photo is absolutely gorgeous! It was a great shot of a moving duck... haha anyway on to your vexel: I think it's great :) You're a fast vexeller too!
