Katharine Heigl

Ahhh, introducing the beautiful, the talented, the AMAZING Katherine Heigl! Roswell fans, Grey's Anatomy fans... meet my unbelievably difficult, annoying, precious 100% vector that I so brilliantly named: Kathaerine Heigl.

I freehanded the entire face... because the posterized lines did not make any sense to me. So I worked from scratch on the face.

That's right, 100% vector. I know, the hair is a little bit TOO realistic. But, I needed to TRY realistic hair. Four words:
1. Pain.
2. In.
3. My.
4. Ass.

I've included an outline for all of you screaming "That isn't vectored! F*ck you!" I REALLY didn't mean for it to come out so realistic.

I will TRY my BEST to post ONE MORE vexel before my Featured Member runs out... I don't know if I will be able to do it, but I'll try. This is assuming, of course, that my last day as Featured Member is on the 18th. Thanks for lookin' and I hope you guys like this one! It's my pride and joy!

P.S. DO NOT EVER VEXEL SOMEONE UNDERWATER. HARD? NO. ABSOLUTELY MIND-BLOWINGLY ANNOYING? YES!!!

mjcoffeeholick 18 Aug 06 - 05.24am	OMG !!! that's amazing !!!
silent_moon 17 Aug 06 - 05.08pm	wow. 46 hours... the most hours i've ever spent working on a vexel was like 30. if it takes any longer than that i usually leave the piece unfinished and start a new vexel. the fact that you can spend 40+ hours of time staring at a computer working in photoshop and making a vexel that's 5306 layers is amazing. the time that you spent on this was obviously well worth it seeing as the final result is gorgeous. the hair is just mindblowing. it's so realistic... did you use a gradient mesh technique? and do you have the original image by chance? =)
