This was so fun! I haven't before entered a competition here. I have tried 2 times in the past, once photoshop crashed and I hadn't saved :( and the other I just started too late. This time, I am nice and early lol.

It is a new style for me. thanks sandra for helping me find this image. I will try to dig up the link from where I got it. I didn't save it but it should be in a PM.

From looking at the image, I loved how it was so simple. The dress, the pose. None of it was over the top, and I wanted to keep with that for this piece. I have felt with some of my recent vexels I have gone too far with transistion layers, so I tried to be cautious of them with this.

I think the perls tiggered a 30's feel for me, I know they are still pretty popular now but my head just thinks that way. I played with the original refrence photo to make it a little more vintage, and went on from there.

I love how it's vintage. Again, the neckalce is beautiful. I understand with the hair and the screen, that's an unfortuante mishap. However, this is the most beautiful entry in the comp yet. :D

EDIT////: Ah, I see the changes! Better and still beautiful. (:

Beautiful! The entire feel of this is perfect. It reminds me of the olden days when everyone was so prime and proper and the lighting was almost dark-like... or natural. Everything about this is right on target - the colours, the feel, the shading, the expressions, everything. The only thing that looks a bit out of place is the woman's hair, but that's all depending on the brightness/contrast of the person's monitor.

I brightened it up in photoshop and it really does look weird, so i should try to fix the hair up before voting goes up haha.
I like that you get the same idea as I did when I working on this, thanks for commenting and fav (:

I love the vintage tone of this, along with its dark overtones.
The only thing I would change is the woman's hair. It doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the vexel, and some of the strands seem to be going the wrong way.
Other than that, it's lovely. :)

I had a feeling the hair may look a bit off, my monitor tends to be dark, so it doesn't look out of place for me. When I am at school sometimes though (on better screens) I have noticed parts before that do look off. I'll try to play around with it. Thanks (:
