eh..im not quite satisfied w/ it...but its called masquerade...shes a barbie doll..the idea was inspired by a song i wrote earlier titled "masquerade" part of the lyrics: "living behind a masquerade...now you see who i truly am...battered torn up all inside" and its basically about how we all wear masks when we leave the house..we put it on every morning to go out..and the ppl we see is their masks and we dont see whats going on behind those masks...and we think everythings alright b/c the plastic masks are all we see..

the blue eye and the bg bug me...the blue eye was meant to symbolize how sad she is behind that mask..but it looks bruised instead...and i dont like the bg b/c it doesnt match w/ her..i had vexeled the bg originally to go w/ how i thought itd look..but it came out different..so i want to redo the bg..any ideas for the bg? and should i change the color of the blue eye..

Wow, everything's looking great. You are one of best vexelers here, everything is so real. I love your idea on the blue eye, maybe you should just make it a little lighter? For the background ... maybe an ol' posterized gradient? That's what I always do. ;) Or a pattern. Just.. whoa, thanks for sharing. :)

My GOSH, I'm satisfied at half that amount. Though I've learned, being best friends with really smart people throughout my life, that the better you are at something, the least likely you are to be satisfied with what you have done.

[/ramble]

Yeah, the background is kind of harsh looking compared to the actual vector, maybe just tone it down a bit? And I see what you mean about the blue eye. Maybe if you could blend the blue eyeshadow into the rest of her face a bit more, like you did with the pink eyes? I think that would help. And maybe make it a bit lighter blue.

But seriously, my first impression was wub.gif. Seriously, that's amazing. I think it would make a powerful layout if done right. Wow. No lie.

That's amazing! flowers.gif Well, if you don't like the blue eye, which I think is good, maybe try a lighter shade? I'm not sure. as for the background maybe a pastel color. Anyways, you should be satisfied! Haha gorgeous job flowers.gif

WOW. Amazing job. Really. If you're not satisfied with the background, why not try adding like the wall to a room or something? With the idea that she takes off her mask at home.

it looks really good! especially the skin and clothes. i agree that there is something odd about the blue eye. it doesn't look bruised, but kind of... swollen?
