Embrace

I was largely inspired by Ilaria - she vexeled this image, and although I'd already had this image saved on my computer, it never occurred to me to vexel it.

Her's is named Eternity, and I cannot argue with her explanation - some moments really are worthy of an eternity's time. I named my own version Embrace, because the embrace of the one of our affections is certainly the most warm and comforting feeling, and at times, the last thing we want to do is leave that embrace.

Embrace that which cannot be captured; embrace love, for love cannot be captured.

Technicalities: Just over 300 layers over a large span of 3 or so weeks. Skin tone = major bitch.

scorpio 25 Sep 05 - 05.41am	Amazing job!!! I hope I get as good as you! How long have you been vexeling ?
Ilaria 25 Sep 05 - 02.43am	=D I love it! I feel flattered I have inspired you...and I agree with your explanation, you would never want to leave that embrace (ok, I'm being really emotional right now...I've JUST broken up with my boyfriend, so yeah...your explanation made me cry..) But anyways wipes tear the hair on this one is just amazing, you did so much better than I did. I believe the skin of the guy is a bit too pale, I would have made it darker maybe? And I don't like the black shadow under his arm...maybe I would have lessened the opacity or used a gradient...Apart from that, it really rocks! And I'm in love with the hair...ok I know I have already said that but oh well...

TooDarnCool 24 Sep 05 - 11.42pm	The guys hair looks amazing! Great job. The only thing I don't like in this is how posterized it looks in the light spots. I also don't like the girls lip color it makes her lips look patched on ;) but it is very pretty :D
