| How friggin high is the bar now? Vexels are incredibly amazing..like.. on a whole new level lately. I remember a year ago, even 6 months ago, what we use to think was "amazing" would now be considered so mediocre. I was going to do a then and now thing but I didn't want to offend anyone in the "then" section :P Here are some of the newer vexels I'm talking about:    Where are vexels going to be in another year? O___O I would say "they can't get any better!!" but that's what I thought a year ago too! |

| Vexels of the future scare me. Vexels are intimidating enough, even in the present haha. Although I am excited to see where they will progress to :D |

| hehe...I was just thinking about this today! You must be reading my mind eh?? :p I think the next level of vexels might be the "no reference" vexels...at least thats what I predict :) There's gonna be loads of no reference ones...therefore there's going to be a whole lot more creativity and whatnot :) | ||

| Or maybe realism will be kicked out of the world. *evil face* I hope so, in some way. Edit: I don't hope so in another way, though. |

| Yeah. Everyday we have new vexelers who improve reallly reallly fast. On a year, vexels will be like some sort of... I can't even think about it. But I'm sure each of them will be quite an amazing eyecandy ;) |

| I am not trying to come of snobby at ALL by saying this, but super realisitic vexels do nothing for me. While I think it takes a lot of talent and patience to do them, I think vexels that have a style and flair to them are much more impressive, or when someone totally changes the photo, or when they draw something on their own. I really hope that is the direction that vexels go in | ||

Quote Seven It makes me kind of sad that realistic vexels are the only ones really taken seriously now though. I agree. Why not just look at the original picture? I like there to be SOME uniqueness to the picture (different hairstyle, lineart, or maybe something that isn't just a girl's face), not just an exact copy of the original. |

| Heh....I guess I have sort of the same problem...try finding a tutorial for Photoshop 4 or 5! Or anything under 7 for that matter. Hah, in Photoshop 4, the pen path doesn't curve at all. So its really hard to make a smooth looking vexel. Also, ANY of the hair tutorials are out of the question. | ||

| I feel like everyone is improving so fast and that I'm just behind on everything. I can't keep up. :P I can't even imagine how it is in a year.. that thought scares me. xD | ||

| I remember last year, looking at one vexel, I don't have the link, but it was a gradiant vexel of a black girl and her head was facing towards the left... Anyways, I was looking at it in class and since it only goes to about half-boob area, my teacher thought I was looking at porn (but only scrolled barely). And not naming anyone, there are some vexel artists I thought were SUPER TALENTED last year and now, I look at the pieces of theirs that were so "amazing" and I'm all...It's not as good as it used to be... |

| Hmm yeah I agree. I remember back in the day when everyone's expectation of a vexel would be something less. Nowadays, people are trying really hard to get it EXTRA realistic. I'm not a big fan of the sooperdooper realistic ones, but it is sad that those are the main ones recognised. I also agree with Andrea, how people seem to be improving so well and they start vexelling and it's like WHOA. Although I think Andrea you have improved muchly. ^^ I'm just too lazy to practise. |

| Like what Raelynn and zummi said, it's about a uniqueness in vexels. You can't really define a 'vexel' now, there are to many layers in realism. People have seemed to have forgotten what a vexel is, a vexel is a representation of something not a realism cartoon. They make me insanely jealous but do nothing for me. | ||

| I agree with Raelynn also, realism isn't all there is. Sure, I love them lots of times, but 'uniqueness' is what we all love. <3 | ||

I really hope that is the direction that vexels go in Same here. Still I want my vexels to be realistic when I go for it. And once I know I have some skills I drop it try another thing. A new thing. I'm developing my style reaaally slow. But I guess by getting better at creating realism vexels you learn a lot. I mean you learn how to do the skin detailed, how to control the path-thingy, you get to know which colors apprear on skin [colors like green, blue...] and you get to know the skin way better. It helps you if you're into drawing [traditional] also. So I guess that's why everyone kinda goes like "ZO-OMG". But I also hopes that that what Raelynn said will come true. Hehe. That'd be awesome. More creativity, please! |
