Wages of Sin

*eyes bleed* I am soooo relieved to finally have finished this one... it was my longest project ever so far. When I saw the picture, I knew I had to vexel it, even though I could sense the 50-60 or so hours it would take. The fishnets were absolute torture; and I've just about had enough of vexelling leather to last a lifetime. =)

(And I improvised the nails! ^_^;;)

Thanks to FroweMinahildStock and photographer T. Adorff for the very sexy original. (:

Edit: smoothed out some shading I rushed earlier and added a bit of an outline. Sorry, I don't know what to fix with the face. ;_;

* My friend Alex and I just got done with performing in a musical... and one of the songs was entitled Wages of Sin. She couldn't get over how much this reminds her of the girl, so I just had to change the title. (:

marleen 27 Oct 06 - 09.06am	Woaaaaaaa CANDY! Natalie this is great. I love how she looks naughty but on the other hand innocent. It's kind of a balance between childhood and evilness. LOL. Her outfit rocks, and I'm totally in love with her hair color. I like the darkness in contrast with the yellow/orange teints. Good jobb <3
Chloe 17 Sep 06 - 06.07am	Ohmygod, that has got to be the best leather I've ever seen. Now you can vexel anything. Serious. Maybe I should challenge myself and do a fishnet-like thing on my vexel... bleehhh I'm lazy and I KNOW it'll take forever -_- -thinks- Do you remmeber how long it took for your fishnets? I would guess I'd have to do about half of what you did here lol.
fugoukakusha 24 May 06 - 03.47pm	Wow this is probably the most realistic looking vector I've ever seen. You did an excellent, excellent job. I love the leather outfit. This must have taken a long long time to do.
bimstah 20 May 06 - 05.14am	i wish i could morph into you and create just ONE masterpiece. oh em gee yer so go0d!!! :O
andyzL 29 Apr 06 - 03.58am	hmm..it reminds me of a movie "Charlie & the chocolate factory"...i would really like to hav a taste on that nice looking lolly-pop that she's holding in her hand..yupe~ i like her out fit, it brings a "bad girl" mood to it...and her finger-nails looks "smashing"! This vexel of urs....ROCKz! ;p
labwa 18 Apr 06 - 07.42am	Amazing!

SoContagious 25 Mar 06 - 02.54pm	OMG how do you do that T_T
VonDutch 22 Mar 06 - 11.39am	You Are Amazing! Start A Fanclub!
silent_moon 19 Mar 06 - 10.04pm	This is mind blowing. The leather.... my god! It must have taken you ages. And vexeling the fishnets and all those leather chains... wow. I think you've taken your skills to a new level (which is hard to believe because all of your vexels are perfect and it seems nearly impossible that your vexeling talents could improve/get any better than they already were). Oh and what yellowschwestersaid about the face.. I think it's the shadows that throw it off a little bit. I know you meant for there to be a dark and ominous feel to it, but when I looked at the full version I noticed the lower area looked a bit too dark. Maybe you could try experimenting/fixing the lighting/ dark areas? I'm not sure if I like the pattern u used for the background though. Don't get me wrong it looks nice but I think it would look cooler if it was just red w/o any texture/pattern, but that's just my opinion :] May I ask what font you used for "Wages of Sin"? Reply from Thanks for all your feedback! I must be dumb or something but I'm not getting the face. x_X I did it just like it was in the original and if the original was too dark then so is the vexel. =\ but I'll see what I can do, sometime. :) As far as the background.. it was late and it was the only thing I found. slink The font is called angryblue, I believe. But I don't remember where I got it. :(
CHRISTINARRR 16 Mar 06 - 05.13am	holy hell. this is..just...yeah you know how good it is. it is GOOD. i love how the lollypop is just this bright colourful happy thing next to everything else. you did a GREAT job.
Karin 15 Mar 06 - 07.31pm	Oh. My. GOD. It's like.. WOW. Just WOW. That must have taken a billion years. Amazing.
jajavi 14 Mar 06 - 02.02pm	PERFECT.... :O
xJOJO 13 Mar 06 - 11.53pm	OMG! I'm speechless.. Ok, I can talk again. That background is so vintage..i love it. And the hair is just brilliant! The spikes and chain on that top is perfect. What else? Oh yes, the fishnets..I can tell all of the work you put in that! xo, Jojo

Rick 13 Mar 06 - 03.35am	There's so many nice things I'd like to say, but I've said them many times before! I've run out of words to say ..who me ..nahh! This is another wonderful piece, the job you did on the outfit is absolutely stunning! How you do it I'll never know hehe! It's not important anyway, as long as you keep posting pics like this and your many other wonderful vexels. I know it's hard to believe but I really enjoy it when you post a new pic. Keep doing the amazing job you always do, I always Love them!! :)

sleeponthefloor 12 Mar 06 - 07.21pm	that is amazing! the detail on the outfit.. to die for, especially the mesh on the arms. i've tried vectoring mesh before.. it was a disaster, so i appreciate what you went through. spectacular finished piece.

Pipi 12 Mar 06 - 11.21am	yay xD I love how you do hair :D and I'm waiting for next tutorial from you. PERFECT! :D
4ngel 12 Mar 06 - 11.21am	The corset and tights shading is fantastic!
september 12 Mar 06 - 11.14am	The leather, fishnet, and spikes are AMAZING.
purpleirises 12 Mar 06 - 11.10am	When I saw this I was like "WOW"! O_O Absolutely amazing work. The fishnets must've been a pain in the arse, but they look GREAT. And the clothes look so yummy and vexel-y. XD <3 I think I like this one more than your Mika piece... :O You have outdone yourself. -idolizes-
yellowschwester 12 Mar 06 - 11.05am	The Clothes are amazing! SO realistic. Awesome. Seriously. Il ove the shinyness of the leather - you captured that perfectly as well. And the hair rocks. I can see that the fishnet must have been pain to vexel. xD But you did an great job on that part as well. Aw - and of course, the nails are great, too. And I think that the hair looks even better on your vexel than on the actual picture! The only part I'm not too fond of since I know you can do that way better is the face. I can't exactly say why, though. Something's just bothering me. ( I mean.. no offense. it's still great I just KNOW you couldve done it way better. (; ) huge hug Reply from Do you know exactly what is wrong with it? :) I'd love to fix it, as far as I know I did everything the exact same way I do it every other time but I've also been staring at this for way too long. ><
prettybaby 12 Mar 06 - 11.04am	I love everything, especially the hair and leather. You did an awesome job on the metal zips and stuff too, they look so real <333
