Solitude |
x_x I swear, if I hadn't squeezed out every bit of patience, frustration, and ounce of vexelling-skill in my body on this vexel, then I shall never vexel again. =P
The lovely Miranda Kerr and some flowers from sxc.hu. ^^ The flowers are NOT vexelled, however I think I might vexel them the next time I get bored,
just for kicks. ^^
About 2-3 weeks, on and off. I actually started this one way before "The Blueprint" (previous vexel), which says a lot about my patience level with it. Needless to say, I was quite happy when it was done.
6.28.06 Edit: I didn't want to have to do this. But I'm growing soooo paranoid. Ever since I found "Flower Child" in a downloadable wallpapers gallery, I think I'm going to become a watermarking freak. Well, the good news is, this is a much bigger size now! :) yay. ;_;

This is a truly beautiful beautiful beautiful vexel. Honestly, those eyes just blow me away. My only critque are the two circles on her left arm, they seem....unnecessary? Ev erything else is amazingly beautiful. Seriously. Her hair is amazingly gorgoeus, and aside from the two circles thing, her skin is to die for. Her lips are gorgeous, but it's the eyes that most impresses me. Like they say, it's all in the detail. (: |

Holy crap Natalie... just... holy crap.
I think what I am so freakin' amazed by, is the fact that you took a scratchy, small, pixelated photo... and made a huge vector that looks AMAZING.
How do you do that?!
Reply from Natalie
I'm so glad you like it! xD I actually had 2 versions of this photo that I used - the 2nd one was much larger but the colors were all wrong. I used that 2nd one for the eyes and lips because those are the first body parts you notice if they're blurry. For the rest of the photo, I used that "scratchy" small version. :) But, that leaves only the skin, which is supposed to be smooth anyway, so the blurriness didn't matter. And where it did, I think the lineart did the trick. Hopefully. ;_; Hehe

Something about the way you lay out your vexels and always choose the best pictures just makes them... perfect. And here's another perfect vexel. Wow... And I love your new-ish hair technique, you've improved it so much over your past few vexels... I'm still in awe. |

Nooooo! Why must Natalie vexel the photo I was on the verge of vexelling? Anyhoo, this is absolutely gorgeous, but you lalready know that. :P
Reply from Natalie
Ohh no no no please don't let my having vexelled it stop you from vexelling it! ;_; It would be so neat to have 2 different styles of this pic on here! (and thank you ^^)
