Surf's Lost

I. FINALLY. FINISHED

Whoooo :D

Theoretically, I can upload this and not have to worry about breaching any HSC rules, because i'm not going to be submitting this as one of my major work pieces. Why? I have to start entirely again, because my photographs no longer fit with my concept (don't worry: Still ocean, still surf, still my cousin, i just need new photos that i can story board)

So yes. This is my first complete vexel from this photoshoot. It's taken me three months. The breaking wave consists of dots. Lots and lots of dots. thousands. No kidding. Don't ask me how many layers, because I honestly can't tell you.

But boy am I glad it's finished!

Thankyou to: Michala, the beautiful model, My art teacher for the advise, and everyone who comments.

PS: I'm sorry about the horrible watermark. Because it IS school work, and 100% mine, I have to be very very careful at the moment. If my work starts popping up everywhere, i could get pulled up for copyright infringement when i hand my other works in, and I don't need that. :s

PPS: Please full view. This version is at 50 percent. This version (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/31216610/

edit: Edited the hair.

Echoia 2 Apr 06 - 04.35am	Oh my gosh it's SARAH'S COUSIN'S BUTT! The full is sooo beautiful : ( I wish I could see it all at once (dammmn small screens!) The hair is my favorite part... I bet you hate me for saying that, huh? : ) The crashing waves are a close second, though. Don't be too mad. Reply from Sarah Aww :D Yes, it's Sarah's Cousin's Butt! :) and no, I don't hate you for saying that. The hair's my favourite part too. And the random shadow on the surf board. :) I'm not particularly fond of the waves, because they were torture.
