4th vexel...after killing my brain cells and killing my eyes..i have finally finished...it is totally different from the way i imagined itd be when i first started =\...its too bright..i was going for dark and gloomy.. and the bg i had vectored originally to go w/ the result i had in mind..but it came out different so now the bg doesnt match w/ her.. :(..so im not quite satisfied w/ it...but this was a very good practice...b/c since its only my 4th and im still new to this..i had to figure alot of stuff out..like how to do the frillies and the hair..so it was a journey into the unknown for me..anyways...

the idea was inspired by a song i wrote earlier titled "masquerade" part of the lyrics: "living behind a masquerade...now you see who i truly am...battered torn up all inside" and its basically about how we all wear masks when we leave the house..we put it on every morning to go out..and the ppl we see is their masks and we dont see whats going on behind those masks...and we think everythings alright b/c the plastic masks are all we see..its also kinda like kelly's song "behind hazel eyes..you dont see the tears i cry" lol

symbolism: the girl is a barbie doll..b/c in my song "plastic ppl manufactured" self explanatory kinda..every mask is the same...all happy and fake..and hides the truth..so barbie doll represents that..and she takes off her mask..and..yeah...chain around her neck..symbolizes holding back your true self..restraining it...and u cant see it..but that necklace is a compass..yeah..and it symbolizes being lost btwn the 2 identities..the false pretending one and the real one the mask hides ..

i was gonna add more symbolism..but omg..this took foreverr..im so tired...and i still have to redo the bg >.<

omg wow! that is so creative! and you write songs? wooow.... i think i'll vote for you! this is so inspiring! I love how you used symbolism and it is kinda true that a lot of ppl wear masks to hide their true selfs sometimes... this is really good for a 4th! I love how you did the hair and the shirt and the frills! The hair is very creative and beautiful! it's all so wonderful!! O_O ..such a great use of symbolism....

I'm still amazed by this thing.. It's just soooooo damn good! I wish I knew how to give someone different hair like you did. Do you just start drawing? Do you copy it of another picture?? All I can change when I make a vexel are the colors and stuff. I'm sooooooo jealous...

First, many props to you for thinking into this so deeply and having such a meaningful vexel. I think this is THE most original and meaningful vexel. You definitely did a great job on this. The concept is great, and I think the background looks fine. Wonderful.
