i went for the realistic look w/ this one... it was harder than i thought...took me almost a month and over 527 layers...the lil badges were the hardest to do >.<
so..this is dedicated to the victims of 911..i go to school right next to the WTC site..so it was pretty scary when it happened..but it was very touching to see ppl come together and dedicate their time to help out..and yeah..i noticed theres a similar one in the comp too =\

It looks like you put ALOT of effort into this. 527 layers? Wow... I bet most of it came from the skin and the cute little badges :)

argh..at first i didnt care b/c i enjoyed trying out a different way of vexelling w/ posterized colors..but now im getting kind of annoyed...how do i post up psd files on here? for the last time, its ALL VEXELLED. i thought i could make it more realistic by vexelling all the details and the exact same colors but apparently that wasnt a good idea

boo- its possible, it i can see the layers... its kind of rude to make judgements liek that if you dont know. Grace honey do you have the psd to prove if it is or not? I use posterized colors too.

edit://

Maybe show Linda or someone you can trust the psd with all the layers so they get off your back? If you prove you really vexeled it i dont see why they would bug you on every vexel you make. Dont worry your s great vexeler.

HelloKitty: She didnt copy your sister, it looked like she was saluting and other people were bound to have the same idea, and I doubt that if she saw your sisters while vexeling her own she still wouldnt stop and start over.

yes i still have the psd..and everything is vexelled b/c i had to zoom in at least 7x to vexel the badges and buttons which were the hardest to do b/c i used all the colors i saw in the zoomed in version. maybe i can get some advice about vexelling w/ posterized colors then? b/c i zoomed in alot and i thought i would vexel every color to make it look more realistic but then it turns out that u ppl think its still posterized :-\ ..and now i dont really know whats allowed or not

i think the whole thing is posteised cos when i started my entry i posterised it and it looked exactly like that (the eyes and skin) but u have just put layers on top and tweaked it a little
and the uniform is not vexelled at all sorry to be rude but i think u sort of cheated in fact the only thing that looks vectored is the hair and lips

\\\ok im sorry i belive you now but its just like wow too posterized im sorry i was mean i just honestly thought it was posterised cos none of it looked vexelled to me
next time i will shut my mouth SORRY :(

Its kinda out of order that you took Fantasized Dreamer idea and really you should have thought about something different.

Ah okay thats alright then :)

Aww, don't listen to all the people who claim you "stole" the idea. When I was planning on doing this I was thinking a military inspired image as well. In the photo she just looks like she's saluting. I think it looks lovely. Good luck in the contest!

It looks way too similar to Fantasized Dreamer's. Good though.

wow :| i love this. It's so... realistic. Maybe it could use a little more shading on the glove, since it sort of sticks out, (less realistic). You achieved the look though, it's amazing. So voting for you.

=) Your one looks really good except, if only to think of any constructive criticism at all, the colours seem a bit off as if you used the posterised image's colours. But it still looks good =P

*cries* ...*sigh* i've totally lost hope for my entry... my creativity diminished! Yours looks very nice :/ I tried so hard to be creative and be the only one with my style.. yours is good it truly is.. :/

"it is without doubt that others have thought of it too" ...yeah

btw, where did you base your uniform from?
