Vexel // a self portrait, ft. yours truly *cough* obviously Options

[xquizit]

It's been a loooooong while since I last vectored. I currently have a vector collection at a grand total of 2, so I thought was finally time to work on a 3rd one.



Program Used: Adobe Photoshop CS
No. Layers: A lot
Time spent: 2 days, on/off.

Let me know what you guys think and any tips or suggestions on how I can improve my technique. I am still new at this so some criticism/feedback is appreciated.

[dtownhommie8]

good job!! i like it..xept ur hair and the backround r almost the smae color.....dunno if its purposley dun that way..

its just me.

=P

[*stephinika*]

ooh looks good! very nice roxanne. i like it

[kris_fox17]

ohhh.... wow roxanne, it turned out great!!!!

[Ington]

Wow thats beautiful!! But cmon it has to be

One day ill learn to vector like that. Its on my to-do list, between 'Eat human flesh' and 'Get all the pants in the world into one big pile and then burn them all'. One day...

[brooker0che]

ahh! simply fabulous!!
if you ever want a subject, or some stock orginals.
you know where to find me.

[avalon*]

aww it's beautiful roxy. this is the first vector/vexel art i've seen of yours =]

[mouse_3k]

that is soooo good!!!

[tooeffingcrazy]

Wow! Thats really good. You forgot your birthmark though! =T

[LeSLiE]

I can't see it..

[xquizit]

Thanks everyone.

Wow! Thats really good. You forgot your birthmark though! =T

Yeah, I had it in there at first and then decided it didn't look right.

// EDIT

Yeah, so I decided to add it back in. The only problem is that those who don't already know I have a birthmark may think it's a error on my part.

[177emories]

thats real pretty looks like some singer..

[sammi rules you]

oooooh <3 the lips.
great job, roxy!

[*islandgirl4eva*]

You are beautiful Rox, and you did a great job reflecting it in your work.

[emptyminded]

:jaw drops:

Stunningly beautiful. I'm so jealous now...

[xquizit]

ahh roxanne, that is a gorgeous vector of you! but like somone mentioned, maybe you should change the background color to something other than black..but maybe you just aren't finished, i dunno, but it looks awesome

Hmm... it must be because everyone has different monitor settings. The background is actually actually a gradient that goes from lighter gray to darker gray and you should still be able to see the hair.

[sweetxsimplicity]

Wow, that's good, but maybe more shading in the hair? It looks so much like you!

[souldreamers]

wow good job! It looks just like you. I think a colored background like turquoise would look more flattering because the grey is a bit too dark and almost blends in with your hair. Dang I wanna start vectoring again.....

[bluecrystals]

that's a nice looking vector. i really like the details of the eyelashes.

[heyyfrankie]

that is really good! this is the first vector I have seen from you and i love it! it looks great! the eyelashes are really detailed! and the teeth are so ... white!

awesome, awesome job! i can't wait to see what you come up with next.

[krnl0v3r]

aww i love iit! is it the pic in your avitor?

[blackmyeyes]

very nice... love it.... looks great.... keep up the good work

[xquizit]

aww  i love iit! is it the pic in your avitor?

yep, and thanks again guys.

you guys don't remember my other vector? the one for my "let her fly" skin... the girl with the butterfly?

[EXPLO5ION]

Thats a good vexel. But maybe its just me on my crappy computer, but I can't really tell that your face has depth to it. You know what I mean? Like your face is juts flat/2-D. But i think that is very good.

[sweetxsimplicity]

yep, and thanks again guys.

you guys don't remember my other vector? the one for my "let her fly" skin... the girl with the butterfly?

Ooh, I saw that one, but I like this vector better.

[whywasisostupid]

im diggin the lips and eyes and the earrings.. ooo. just everything is beautiful <3

[CraziWhiteBoi]

you just think your all that dont you...............................





just kidding.. I love it and your so hott!


I wish i could vector like that.

[xj_liana_tx]

it's a great vex, it'll look more like you if you make some improvements on the eyes.

[Danrulz]

this is better than i ever do by like...1000% lol. GOOD JOB ROXEANNE!!! ur awsome!

[queen]

it's so purty ;]

[oiograceoio]

oh wow!! that's really good~
i wish i had some artistic talent in me.. >_<

gRaCe~!

[tooeffingcrazy]

it's a great vex, it'll look more like you if you make some improvements on the eyes.

I think its a VECTOR. Just to clear things up.

[expoised]

it's awesomely awesome.

hmm... your head's tilted and from what i can see in your avatar, your left face (your left, not the viewer's) could be shaded a little more. shadows could be emphasized a little more. and you have this line thing on your right cheekbones. i can see where it comes from with the original picture, but as a vexel, it looks a little awkward. that's just my opinion.

i love your style. KEEP UP THE VECTORING !!! STOP STOPPING!!! i loved the "let her fly" vector.

[demolished]

wow, your very creative and artistic in photoshop.


your cheeks doesnt match your profile.

[xquizit]

it's awesomely awesome.

Thanks Melissa!

You're right about the shading. I'm a little "shy" to add more shadows and highlights. When I do so, it comes off as looking odd to me so I revert back to what I was doing before. I definately had some trouble with it, especially for this particular image since I was working off of a very blurry image to begin with. But yeah, I'm a little weak on the shading. I'll work on that some.

The line on my right cheekbone is my birthmark. I had originally removed it because I, too, thought it looked awkward, like it was an error. But someone in this thread mentioned my missing birthmark so I put it back in. Besides, I like my birthmark. Too bad it doesn't work well for vectoring.

And thank you so much for your input. I may work on it some more, if not, I'll definately practice my shading more on my next vector, whenever that may be.

[whomps]

Ooooooooo It looks so nice :D And your birthmark doesn't look like an error.. I didn't even noticed it :D But yeah great job.

[apple.]

ahh i wish i could vexel like that. Very prettifuL =]

[toodlepops.]

Wow, really gorgeous.

[starlette]

wtf? This thing is like forever old now lol. It keeps getting brought back. roxy hurry up and make a new one I want to see it. This one is pretty darn good too. haha.

[xquizit]

Haha, this is so old. What's funny is that it hardly looks like me now since my hair is different and I do my makeup differently now. I'll work on some new vectors soon, just for you Karmelle. At least I'll be out of school soon and have more time to vector and such.

[moorepocket]

your 3rd one? what happened to all the other ones?

[*suddenly she*]

i can tell the difference between her hair and the background, but it's probably because i screw up my computer settings all the time. good job!

[aZNbLUMUNKEEbUTT]

wow..BEAUTiFUL..hehe nice job :)

[xquizit]

your 3rd one? what happened to all the other ones?

the first one i ever made was of foxy brown.
the second one is the butterfly.
the third is this one.
the fourth is the one of anisha.
the fifth is of the girl wrapped up in tape.
and the last one was called fresh and featured a a girls outfit.
you can see them all here: http://xquizit.atpx.net/art/

i've only done six vectors. this is an old topic, someone brought it back.

[Rachel]

i can tell the difference between her hair and the background, but it's probably because i screw up my computer settings all the time. good job!

....... There is supposed to be a difference between her hair and the background.

And good god, this topic will never die Roxy!

[miss barnes]

[*mzkandi*]
