Memory
Midnight,
Not a sound from the pavement.
Has the moon lost her memory? She is smiling alone.
In the lamplight, the withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to mourn.

Memory,
All alone in the moonlight.
I can smile at the old days, I was beautiful then.
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again.

My 13th vexel, and my competition entry for competition five. ^_^ I am soooo proud of this! I just love it. I knew that this was my chance to enter, looking at my gallery xD. The title is "Memory", and the lyrics are taken from the song of the same name from the musical CATS. Obviously, the song is about her beautiful days long gone and how the moon is her only companion. As you can see, the theme is the moon. I was inspired by a band at the Big Orange Classic. They used Miss Saigon as their theme, and one song was called "Sun and Moon" so I thought I could morph it into a vexel ;) The necklace, earing, clothing, and ring were originally drawn by me. But I am most proud of the hair! ^__^

It was made in Photoshop 7.0 (please no suggestions of other programs!). I began it on November 9th, 2005 and finished on November 15th. It consists of a whopping 1600+ layers and countless hours of hard work. Enjoy!

PS. The original name was Gekkou, but Natalie and I brainstormed and so I changed xD

EDIT: Lots of tweaking done, darkened it a tad, etc. ^_^

I LOVE the colors you chose for the eyeshadow, the hand and nails also really make me happy. I love the hair, it's sooo pretty. The neck shades seem a little awkward, but I'm not overly familiar with the original so it could be how it is ~shrugs. I also like the ear and earring : P Oh, also the necklace!

this is beautiful.
the only thing i think could change is the shade of the eyebrow. i'm not very fond of the lightness.

but other than that, this is a gorgeous entry.
best of luck.

Ah, you're right about the eyebrow, so I darkened it to black. Thanks so much! ^_^
