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.

I'm a surfer and when I saw this on Deviant art I just fell in love.
The surfs been pretty small and lost in california.

But this vexel is just... breath-taking.
I really do love in. Great job.

this is absolutely gorgeous. just one tiny thing that throws me off is that there's a shadow from the girl to the board, but there's no shadow coming from the board. otherwise, fabulous work!

This is GORGEOUS! I've been waiting for it to get done. Do you have a wallpaper or something of it?
Reply from Sarah
:) Thankyou!

No, I don't have a wallpaper, but if you like, I could create one? :)
Reply from Sarah
Because I won't be able to publicly release a wallpaper, i'll create one that i will give to people privately. If i was to publicly release it, it would be the whole copyright thing :S

sooo... ANYONE WHO WANTS A WALLPAPER, U2U ME WITH YOUR DESKTOP SIZE :)

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.
