| Does your family know that you vexel? Do you show them your work? Do they like it or in contrary?:D What's their reaction? What about your boyfriend/girlfriend and friends? Do you have any offline friends who shares your vexelling passion? I show my vexels from time to time to my mum and usually she's like "Ummm, that's ok but why did you make it if you have the original picture?" "What for do you need it?" etc Generally she just doesn't get the idea of making vexels and that's rather discouraging for me :( My dad loves every graphics I do so that doesn't count for me lol :P My friends doesn't know that I vexel and I don't know anyone offline who does vexel, but I would love to, it would be awesome to talk about vexels and maybe meet and vexel together >) |

Quote marta I show my vexels from time to time to my mum and usually she's like "Ummm, that's ok but why did you make it if you have the original picture?" "What for do you need it?" etc That's how my dad reacted (before he knew it was actually me who made the graphc I showed him on the computer.) My mum sometimes walks in my room when I'm vexelling and I sometimes show her what I made. She thinks it's pretty and is impressed with my skills (simply because she has no idea how on earth anybody could make a vexel, lol :P) Friends have seen some of my vexel work but that was for a school assignment. Only 1 or 2 friends have seen what I create in my spare time... They like it as well. :) |

| My parents see it every now and then. My mom is like, "Ehhmm.. yeah, cool.", but she's probably thinking "Do you do that with Google?". My dad likes it, I made this for my parents for a postcard, but he doesn't really understand that well either: "But, you will never get it to look as high quality as the orignal image, right? Why do you make it then??". I never showed my brothers, but my sister quite likes vexels and 'understands' vexels. My girlfriend loves vexels, I show her every vexel I make. Some classmates are totally crazy about vexels and I tell them to go vexelling everytime but nope.. :P | ||

| uhm my family doesn't really know i think..? they know that i love making things with photo's (like making blends and stuff like that) but i don't know what they know of what i'm doing.. maybe the have seen it on my computer? but i don't know.. i think i'm actually a bit of afraid of their reactions so i don't tell them, if they see it it's oke but if they don't it's also oke for me :) some friends of mine have seen a couple of things i made on my website (nothing special tough) and they like it i think well at lest they say they do ;P and a teacher of my school knows it and has seen a couple of things i made (she teaches CKV (culture and art things can't really explain what it is in english..) and almost everyone I know from the internet knows.. |

| haha what's funny is that at first, my mom didn't know a thing about vectors or vexels (or computers for that matter lol), and today she has become my best critic lol One day she sat with me and asked me how I did my Alicia Keys piece (which is her favorite). And i brought up the illustrator file, and showed her step by step how i did it. She understood completely and has given me the best advice. Since I've been drawing and doing art since I was a little one, mom and dad have always been very supportive of me and my interests. Usually my friends and family really like my vexels and are pretty impressed, regardless of what style i use. I've done vexels for friends, of friends, or of favorite celebrities. and they all seem to enjoy it and like the idea of having a cartoony version of someone/something, or a vexelled desktop background instead of some AP photo. |

| My mom knows nothing about digital art, but she paints fairly well, and if i am stuck on something I ask her how she would paint it... it really helped me to get started. My mom also finds me refrence photos from magazines and stuff. i print my vexels out and stick them on the fridge lol... my mom hates stuff on her fridge, but she keeps my vexels up :D my dad doesnt know much about them, but he thinks they are cool. my sister, everytime she sees them or whatever tries to make me vexel her horse haha |

Quote marta Does your family know that you vexel? Do you show them your work? Do they like it or in contrary?:D What's their reaction? What about your boyfriend/girlfriend and friends? Do you have any offline friends who shares your vexelling passion? Family: Yes. My mother has a passing interest. She really liked 'Just to Dream' (vexel of me) and sent it to someone so they could see. My older brother thinks its cool and shows people. Actually, so does my teenage brother! Hah. They were actually (my younger brother and several of his friends) looking at my stuff at one of their houses and the guys asked if my Fiona vexel 'Extraordinary Machine' (avatar) was me and he thought it was. He told them my eyes werne't blue though that I just made them that way : P When my older brother came to visit he took the vexels I have framed on my wall down and took them out of my room excitedly to show his friends, 'CHECK THIS OUT!' then I got to have the joy of explaining how I print posters off of the graphics I make from small pictures (hello vector layers!). That's how I explain -why- I vexel. You can scale it! My boyfriend is a sweetheart and likes my vexels. He told me the latest one I showed him made him want to buy the camera for him that he bought me! Hah. He also comissioned me to make a vexel of me for him (the just to dream one mentioned earlier). I refused payment, though, because that's silly. My friends think it's cool and that I'm awesome for it ~flexes And no, I know no one offline who vexels : / |

| Yeah my family pretty much knows I'm "artistic" lol. My sister can't help but notice since I'm always hogging the computer with photoshop and one of my vexels are almost always open. My mother goes kinda crazy over them =| It's a little odd lol, I appreciate the support but she gets overexcited about them LOL. I don't know anyone else offline who vexels... and if I showed my friends they probably wouldn't be that interested lol |

They'd just be like "Stop wasting your time and go do something useful." And then they'd probably question me as to where I got the base pictures from, and then if they went to a site like dA, they'd probably get all unhappy. D: |

| Does your family know that you vexel? -Yes. They don't know it as vexeling. Just redoing and cartooning-like a picture. Do you show them your work? -Not everything but most things. Do they like it or in contrary? -My mom doesnt really get it, so her opinion is mostly nuetral, but she thinks it's cool. My dad and his friend like it. What's their reaction? -They think it's "neat" and stuff. And want to see the base photo and all. What about your boyfriend/girlfriend and friends? -Friends know and like. Boyfriend knows and likes some. Do you have any offline friends who shares your vexelling passion? -Nope. I've tried convincing a friend to learn and she said "One day..." and my boyfriend has made one and is working on another but doesn't particularly enjoy vexeling. |

| My family think Vexeling is some lesbian sexual postion, it's quite sad really. My boyfriend kind of understands what it is, but he has to say it's nice otherwise i'd hurt him lol |

| I show my intimate family. My parents are like, 'hmm okay.' My brother either critisizes it, or says, WOW! My friends don't know what they are...and are like, 'how do you do that?' Two of my friends who know a bit more about the internet, know about vexelling and they're pretty cool to talk to about. |

Quote 4ngel My brother either critisizes it, or says, WOW! Yeah my older brother criticizes as well. When I ask him whether he likes it he will answer in an honest way. If it looks weird to him, he will say it looks weird. If he likes it, he will say so as well. He doesn't know anything about vexelling though, so it's very nice to have someone who's objective towards vexelling (meaning, he doesn't know other artists' work, if it's a hard style to do, doesn't care about layercounts or how much time i put into it... etc.) judging my work. |

Same, my little brother always puts my vexels down because he's a perfectionist and thinks vexels = realism. |

| My parents know I do "things" at the computer, with this other thing called "Photoshop". But that's it. They usually call them computer dolls or something. My mom doesn't even know how to turn on a computer, so whatever. But when my dad is a engineer-mathematical man-whatever, so when he asked what were those things, and I told him vectors he said "Yeah right. you don't even know what a vector is". So yeah :/ They see vexels/vectors as things I waste my time in. But my mom did liked the Marilyn I gave her for her birthday. And my friends... most of them have no freaking idea what a vexel is. When they casually see them, they say they are pretty things and all, but it's not like they are really interested or anything. But two or three friends do like them, though they have never tried to do anything, and probably never will :P |

| My parents know. They come to the site occassionally but I don't think they actually get what or how we do these things. All they talk about is how to make money from it. "OMG Send it to the veronicas and they'll use it on their cd and then you'll get soo much money" "Put more ads! More ads! How can you make money with more ads! Write a nice letter to google they'll give you more!!" My parents aren't money obsessed or anything haha but they just... eh ok maybe. | ||

| Both of them like it, at least they say they do but its probably the "just be nice to your kids when they think they've got something to be proud of" or something LOL. But yeah sometimes my mom asks why i make them.. and then she accuses me of wasting away on the computer. | ||

| My parents don't know, because they hate the fact that I'm "drawing" during school days (or school years), which is one of the reasons why I'm very slow at vexelling. I can't work around them. My sister knows and some of my friends know. They are either confused or like it. Or both. | ||

| My mom loves them. She's always like "Do one of my horse, do one of Mike, do some for this fundraiser and print them out and we can sell them and..." Gets annoying after a while, but it's sweet that she likes them, I guess :) | ||

| My mom and dad know about it and my dad shows his friends and coworkers at work when he stumbles across one of my better vectors/vexels. My mom likes it, i dont show em everything but if im hapy with one ill show it off. They dont know how to mak em or anything but they dont think its "magic" and they understand why i can sit on the computer for hours working on like 7987606 different peices, only now that im in school for art haha, before I was "lazy" to them, lol. I show my firends because I have a bunch of them printed out and on my wall ,lol. I dont know anyone that vexels irl. |

| my parents and brothers know and think it's cool. a few of my friends know because i made one of my brother and had it printed for him and he showed it off a bit. since then i've actually had requests to make vexels of my friends. i don't know anyone that "shares my passion" for vexeling but a friend of mine asked me to teach him how and he seems really intent on learning. so we'll see on that one. ;) |
