Centrefolds: Asia Argento |
All the centrefolds that you can't afford,
Have long since waved their last goodbyes.
All the centrefolds that you can't afford,
You've long since faded from their eyes.
So be
Be mine.
// Placebo - Centrefolds
Guh.
Not too sure how I feel about this one. At first it was fun, but by the end I kind of wanted to kick the PSD file. ALL THE HAIR. AND THE SKIN TOO. PRETTY MUCH THE WHOLE THING. TT_______TT Now everytime I see someone with messy hair, it makes me want to pull out my brush and straighten it out. D:
I kinda liked the different look on her face though, not just another smily-I-make-happy-publicity-shots picture.
This one's at 50%, Full size here

I highly doubt that, you've got style. I remember hating my first vexel, and now at my sixth, er, I'm not a huge fan of this one either, but I like it enough. :D
Thank you. [:

hooollllyyyy coooowwww. amazing skin shading. now let me butcher it up (hey you asked for constructive criticism! :D)
- i think more depth in the hair would have looked nice
- the (person's) right eye is bigger than the left eye
- her neck looks rather thick. maybe darker shading on the sides would help with that?
but crap i just can't get over the face shading!!!!!!
Reply from
You're really observant. :)
Anyhoo, the hair originally had more depth, but then it kinda looked a bit too contrasty for my liking (especially since in the original picture it was all either light or completly dark D: ), so I just left it as it was.
I really don't know what happened with her eyes. I really should stop following originals so much. D:
I noticed her neck was really thick too, but then it looked a bit awkward with darker shading on the edges because the rest was already pretty light.
Anyhoo, thank you for the analysis. Always nice to have a comment that really makes you think about your vexel more. :]

This looks awesome, I mean really beautiful. You must've worked on it for a looong time... Just a question, is her left eye smaller than the right? Kinda looks like it, but then again, maybe her eyes look like that.
Great job on this :D
Reply from
I was thinking about the same thing after I vexelled it, and it kind of confused me, but then in the original picture it was like that too. As far as I know she normally has the same-sized eyes, but I thought it was like kinda half squinty, so maybe she just had problems squinting her eyes the same amount.
I really don't know. .______.
And thank you. :]

This vexel is amazing, I like the expression on her face, cuz, uh, it's Asia Argento, and that's the way she is.
Great Work!

I wish the eyelashes were a little less...black, dark? compaired to the rest of the vexel which is more muted (lips+skin) it looks odd. Anyways, I'm loving the hair mostly because of the wispyness is amazing!
EDIT---
You're welcome! it looks perfect now : )
Reply from
Whoa, didn't notice that. The computer that I vexel on has different moniter settings, I changed it a bit now.

I love Asia Argento. She always looks kinda fucked up. I love her style and everything, and your vexel rocks. Seriously, you did a damn good job on the hair and the face and the eyes and lips and nose. LOL I love it. Did I mention that before!?! Duh.
Reply from
I know what you mean, I love Asia Argento's fucked look, it's always so, er, fucked (I know, what a big vocabulary), yet really pretty at the same time.
And thank you. [:

I was going to comment on this when I faved it, but I thought me drooling at the computer screen would be too embarassing to do at the uni computer xD So..my late comment: One of the most gorgeous vexels I've come across in a long time! My spirit was actually lifted when I saw it! Quite inspirational, actually =) Did you do some parts with blend modes and opacities? If I had a suggestion, I'd say add a piece of jewellery, or a bit of colour. Otherwise, it's wonderful - the lips blend in beautifully, and the nose area..=D
But don't get me wrong, I'm still holding out for that Bowie area vexel xDDDD
Reply from
Haha, one day, I'm going to figure out where he lives, ring his doorbell, and when he himself [OF COURSE HE'D ANSWER IT HIMSELF FOR MEE] come down, I'll just take a high res picture of the area and run away giggling. Yup.
I did the skin with opacities, and hair with blend modes. And I was thinking the same exact thing with adding some jewelery like a necklace, but then I figured out I didn't know how to really photoshop them on. Or even how to find a nice picture of a necklace. DD:
Thank you. [:

Whoa this is truly gorgeous.
Skin, hair, yeah, I must quit vexelling NOW! :)
My only critique would be her eyes, when I frist saw this picture it bothered me a little because it's too bright and somewhat distant from the image collors, well, maybe that's just me. ;D
edit: okay, it's jus perfect now. :)
Reply from
I lowered the saturation a bit, I'm not sure if I did it too much or too little to make a difference, but either way thank you for pointing that out.
ANd if you quit vexelling, then I'd have to quit too! I wouldn't be worthy! Let's all just keep on vexelling. ;D
And thank you.[:

That comment made me giggle. :D
Actually half the hair was too dark for me to see all the strands clearly. I kinda made up my own random strands and prayed that nobody would notice. [/uhoh]

I always thinking the same at the end of my vexels. I always want to kill not just the image, but the person IN the image.
This is truly incredible.

I was thinking about putting in how much I hated Asia Argento by the end in my description too, but then she's too pretty. Aw godderngit.

i'm amazed by how soft and smooth everything looks, it's very realistic, i love it. though i'm going back and forth on the eyes. the color at times looks great with the rest of the vexel but at other times it looks too bright in comparison to the other colors used. *hopes that made sense* maybe i've just been staring at it too long.
Reply from
Thanks for the note, I'd change it, but I'm not sure quite to what level, as on one of the computers I used, it appeared fine, but on the one I'm using now, it was too unsaturated, so I brightened it again. Which appears too bright on the original computer I used.
It's like a whole circle of horrible saturation. D:
Thank you though. [:

Reply from
The wispy hair strands on the outside were actually pretty fun. :)
It was the rest of the hair that was horrible to do b/c her hair was too dark.
