haha i hate coming up with names for my vexels.. @_@

i love this one to death!!! i just finished her hair today so its allll done xD *excited* this is vexel #10 and my favorite so far.

The image... i don't remember where i got it from, i remember searching for images through google so maybe i got it there... >_- but anyway.. i thought the lady was really pretty and i had to vexel it =D i'm sorry if the image might look small, i raised the resolution from 72 to 100 and didnt want it to lose that much quality, so yeah its a small image

EDIT: i redid the hair, added darker highlights and sort of sharpened her teeth.. (and i got the image searching for maybelline =b)

Adobe Photoshop CS
Finished: April 7th, 2006

choochootrain 16 Apr 06 - 03.13am	Amazing amazing amazing. Her hair is absolutely gorgeous and I love the way you did her skin, especially her forehead. Her hairline looks awkward to me, but I can't quite put my finger on it. However, I love the overall picture. And don't worry, you came up with a great title. :] Edit -- I can tell! The hair turned out beautifully and your hard work paid off. :D Reply from thank you xD i spent a while on her hair @_@

Sayuri 8 Apr 06 - 08.10pm	GORGEOUS (i say this way too much --;) but honestly, WOW. This is beautiful. The quintESSENCE of beauty. har har. the only thing i could possibly suggest is to change the teeth. they're very blurry compared to the rest of her (: edit: hey, cool. much better me thinks ;D Reply from heh thanks, i edited the teeth so hopefully its better than before =]
Jules 8 Apr 06 - 12.01pm	WOW THE HAIR!!!! Reply from thank you =D usually hair is the worst im at.. >.>

aisyah 7 Apr 06 - 11.23pm	I like the hair! Reply from thanks =]
maganle 7 Apr 06 - 10.14pm	very gorgeous! you did a great job on the hair, except that it seemed you rushed when you got towards the back of her head. ``/ Reply from hehe whoops
Angie 7 Apr 06 - 10.03pm	Very pretty!! I love the skin and the lips! I believe that's Josie Maran, can't be sure though :p The only part I dont like though is as Carol said, the teeth are too blurred, also the blur along the hariline. I know hairlines can be difficult sometimes, but I'd stay way from the blur tool :x (if thats what you're using?) Reply from yeah i thought it looked a bit funky.. ill have to fix that..
shana 7 Apr 06 - 09.53pm	the eyes ...gorgeous!! Reply from thank you ^^
SoContagious 7 Apr 06 - 09.33pm	I love it <333 Reply from thank you =D
carolinabarajas 7 Apr 06 - 09.31pm	The best thing is their hair and eyes, I was fascinated for this reason. The only thing that I have to criticize is the teeth they are a little blurred, but you made even this way a beautiful work, oooh the skin it is also beautiful =D Reply from thank you =D her teeth were too sharp, and i guess i blurred it too much..
