I LOVE Alyson Hannigan. I actually love anything Buffy related. I feel like this Alyson Hannigan one really upped my vectoring skills. For me, the best part was the hair. Trying to make an unusual color work.

The eyes were a HUGE accomplishment for me. In fact, I photoshopped an explosion into her eyes, and then vectored it from there. Her face was so pale and beautiful that fire seemed like a good choice.

This, to me, is my best vexel to date. It's close up so I like what I see. The only thing next that I want to work on is more realism and definition lines. This vexel took quite some time. Especially because I had to do the eyebrows over 3 times before I accepted them.

Of course the hair is fantastic, like all your vexels... so that goes without saying. Even though... I did say it. But moving on, it's very pretty. And intense and scary. The explosion on the eyes was a great idea, it really helped, I think. Nice. The skin is so shiny and pretty.

Ugh, I want your talent so badly. My most favorite part about this is the eyes. They are just so fiery, water, and glossy. The skins awesome, and I loooove the lips.

Aly is so pretty =D

I like the idea with vectoring an explosion in her eyes. :)
And 1,842 layers?! It looks almost like paintbrushed. :)
Fantastic job!

Where do you guys get your PATIENCE from???

It´s Great!!

I mean THE HAIR AND THE LIPS would KILL me...

Just do it in pieces. A lot of the problem is that everyone wants to sit down and do a vector in one sitting. It's just not possible. This took me seven days but the end result is more more satisifying than the first Alyson Hannigan one I did. Once you overcome patience which is mostly everyones (including mine) worst skill... it becomes so much better.

Oh wow!!! I love Aly too, she's soo pretty, and you made it all look exactly like her, not a hair out of place, wonderful!
I hope that one day, I can make eyes (and lips) like that, they're always my worst nightmare..

Did you use Natalie's tutorial for this? This style is kind of like hers..
Reply from
Aw that makes me happy! You rock.

I read Natalies tutorials back in December and used it for my Charisma vector. It didn't really work out for me so I had to change the method to a certain extent. But, I guess the general method came from her - yeah.
