I'm working on a vexel for the Quickie contest, but I need some help. I think I might need to add some transition layers between the last two or three shades. Or maybe even change those last few colors completely. I tried using posterize colors, but I'm not sure it fits the picture. Don't mind the weird shadows around the eyes, i'm gonna add some make-up later on.. Also, the lips aren't done yet, so forget about the weird shape. Also, the hair, what do you think? I not too happy about the part that is pulled back. Doesn't it look weird? I tried to add a little pony tail thingie, to show that it doesn't just stop there, but that looks even worse. Then.. The nose piercing.. Does it look like one? I'm not sure how i should shade it.. On to the earring.. Does it look a bit goldish? I couldn't figure out which colors to use.. All tips and constructive critisism is welcome!! |

| Yes, the piercing looks like... a piercing! lol. I'm loving the hair, and the earring looks great in that colour since the vexel is cartoonish. If it was more realistic, then a darker color should be used. About the skin SHADINGGG oh, I don't know how you made it, did you followed the posterized colours? I'm not sure if I like the cheeks SHADINGGGG but the vexel looks great overall. Maybe change the colours a bit? |

| I like the shading, lips, eyes, that's all great. Except for the hair. The part that is pulled back does looks weird. XD Good luck with your vexel. |

| I love her skin and face (piercing is gorgeous) but I think that hair looks kinda flat, especially on that part when the strand meets other hair. | ||

I made a version with different skin colors:  I think they work better together, the cheeks look less weird, but I like the other colors better when compared to the hair. Cause the "new" colors are a lot like the hair color.

Yeah, the hair does look a bit flat with that pulled back part. But without it, it looks so simple. I don't know how to make it less flatlooking without deleting that pulled back part. Cause that would also mean, having to do the whole hair all over again, cause there are no vertical hair strands under the horizontal part (is that a good way to explain it?).. Sigh, I dont know, I don't know.. |

| I don't know how to say this in English, so im talking dutch =) Misschien moet je bij dat haar dat naar achter gaat, het niet gelijk laten stoppen waar dat andere haar ophoudt, maar er gewoon nog een stukje aanplakken zodat het wat beter lijkt.. (A) Snap je me? =P |

| I've tried that, but I cant get it matched up with the other strands properly :( Thanks for the tip anyway, I appreciate it ;) I've finished the vexel (which sadly still includes the weird hair), posted it somewhere in the quickie contest thread :) |

| The hair looks a bit odd because there's no life to it: It's pretty much looking 2D where as everything else looks 3Dish. It just kind of "stops" rather than having flyaway whisps. :( | ||
