I love Gemma Ward. In fact, I'm frustrated that I didn't find her stock pics sooner... because she's just sooo cute. <3 I finally perfected (I think) my style of doing hair and eyebrows and eyes and-and this is just my favourite vexel out of all of mine so far, at least of this style. =)

// Edit: Decided to use change the background to a photo I took. Sure, it's not quite so summery now, but before it was only halfway mine. :)

I realized I can't reply to every comment to say thank you the million times that I want to say it. So, THANK YOU!! ^___^ x 1,000,000

very good, congratulations!
It is vector? :)
Reply from Natalie
Yes, it is very much vector! except, I guess, I never learned whether stroke-paths (hair) are vector or not. I don't think they are, but this is definitely a vexel. :P

29 Jan 06 - 05.58am
Oh my god you've got to be kidding me :O
This is outright THE most amazing vexel I have ever seen. I've said that a couple of times before but this time I mean it! Not only is Gemma one of the most beautiful subjects in the world but you've somehow managed to make her even more gorgeous. The skin is flawless but that's to be expected of you ;) It's the eyes that I love so much, and the dress. Gawd I think I'm going to pass out shortly. You're probably just going to read this and be like yeah yeah another praise comment but I just want you to know that I'm absolutely gobsmacked. I have the DA window open and I keep flicking back to it while I'm writing this and each time I'm like :O

*edit* Natalie.. I keep coming back and back to look at it.. I think I am becoming obsessed :(

Haley
28 Jan 06 - 10.02pm
It looks just like her. I've never been able to vexel her. There's something, either her eyes, but probably her lips, that make it SO hard for me.

28 Jan 06 - 09.42pm
holy crap this vexel is unbelieveable! its amazing! not to mention how beautiful gemma ward is to vexel i bet..do me a favor..tell me..how do u make ur vexels look so realistic!? i tried ur tutorial..n it really helped me (if u look at my vexels n then my latest one u'll see how..) but i still dont know how to make it look so real! ur vexels look like their not even vexeled! n i love that!..anyway..all of ur vexels are beautiful! amazing! i duno wat else i can say..i love this one the best! to tell u the truth..whenever i look at ur vexels..im to ..scared to comment u cuz i suck n ur so good..haha i duno if u get that..nvm..your one of the best vexelers here on this site in my opinion..anyway ill shutup now sorry..just tell meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :) ok.:):):)

edit: i actually understand u because i remember u said that in ur tutorial..i think ill try that thank u! n nvm bout my comment on my vexel..i thought it was a coincidence hehe :) but thank u!
Reply from Natalie
Oh wow! haha
Thank you so much. xD You shouldn't be afraid to comment at ALL because we all still learn from everyone's vexels all the time. =) And I'm glad my tutorial helped. ^^ My main vexel obsession is adding transition layers all the time, sometimes even 2 or 3 between every two layers. It doesn't always work to make it look more realistic, but it does a great deal to smooth it out. I think I ranted like half a page on those in the tutorial, so, this probably makes no sense. X_X

This is beautiful. I really shouldn't even comment because I don't have anything useful to say, just *drool*.
Raelynn
28 Jan 06 - 09.22pm
This is easily the best vexel you've done. I wont bore you with praises Im sure you're going to hear over and over again :) You have an amazing technique, however, I would really like to see you take it a step further and add some stuff to the image, or change other things. You did a great job with the colors on this one, but maybe adding some other objects or something to challenge yourself.
Manitu
28 Jan 06 - 09.20pm
Yes, the hair, eyebrows, eyes are perfect.
Everything is perfect. I'm in shock. :)
Joaris333
28 Jan 06 - 09.18pm
ahh what beauty. and detail! I could only dream of getting to your level. the hair and clothes are my favorite. but there isn't a darn thing about this piece that isn't AMAZING! *faves*

btw what program do u use to save/resize your files?? i'm amazed at the quality! it's simply perfect! while mine come out blurry as lord knows what lol anyway - great job!
Reply from Natalie
Thanks! ^^ I use the same program I use to vexel - Photoshop CS2 - to resize all my PSDs in their vector format so they don't lose detail and then I flatten/merge-layers on the smaller version and save it as JPG at quality-level 12. I think the most important part is to resize while it still has the billion layers there, because then it preserves everything without blurring. =)

28 Jan 06 - 09.17pm
oh my...
this is SO good.
it's not even funny.
i love her as well. she has an excellent face.


my favourite parts of this are: the eyes, the little twirl of hair on her left shoulder, and the colours.
oh wow.
Mattness
28 Jan 06 - 09.06pm
