When I first saw this, I'm not afraid to admit it... I think I left a wet patch, my whole body pulsated and I got little bits of pleasure in places I never knew existed.
First, second and third glances at this and you are struck in awe... the craftmanship is amazing... technique wise it's near on a masterpiece.
The skin is so smooth but still shows the shapes used... the eyes are so piercing and you've added a lot of care into each one to make them sparkle like a lake on a crystal clear dawn.
The hair... did I tell you how much I love the hair? I'm sure I have done before Sarah. Hair is something I love looking at and there is obvious that a great deal of love and care has went into this.
But lets be honest, you want to know how you could improve... and I can tell you I've sat here scratching my right tit on things.
Skin isn't one tone... although the skin is near on perfect and flawless, I think with the level of realism you're pushing, I think in your next realistic vexel you could try adding maybe some subtle grey areas to the corners of the eyes... maybe a little red near the nose... maybe some blush to bring out the cheek bones.
The lips which frankly are possibly the best lips I've ever seen on a realism vexel are amazing... they floored me... seriously, all this time since you uploaded this, I'm still trying to pick my jaw off the floor... I think the edges of the lips that meet the skin could be a little more softer... maybe if you duplicated the layer and made it a little bigger and lowered the opacity around it to soften that edge... just something small like that.
You're one of my favourite vexel artists and one of my best friends online and I know I can say this without you being in a mood with me... you're a highly creative and skillful artist... although this was done for a magazine and you were showing off to the world the vexel genre... I think I'd be at the front of the cue of all your adoring fans to see you starting to add modifications to your portraits - adding that little bit extra flare.
In closing, even though I've written out some things to tackle in your next, I have to say out of all the vexels/vectors I've critiqued, this has been my favourite... out of all the vexels I've ever seen... this has been my favourite. You've not only set a high bar for yourself but other artists in the genre.
Love ya cunt nugget
I spent a LONG time staring at this piece, the eys drew me in and kept me there (I have a thing for eyes.) When I finally managed to pull myself away and noticed the detail that went into this piece, I was more than amazed.
The skin colouring is spot on, the shadows fall just right, but that was far outweighed by the detail in the hair and lashes, the clumps in the lashes, give this piece a life of its own, and you feel as if she will step off the screen. She looks like she was modelled on a real person, nice facial structure, lovely skin & hair, and beautiful eyes.
All in All a wonderful piece that deserves the acknowledgement you obviously got.
