THIS IS NOT A PHOTOGRAPH, IT IS A VEXEL.

There is so many things wrong with this I don\'t even know where to begin in listing them.
I wanted to go for realism but now I actually hate this. Some parts don\'t look vexeled, but I can assure you every last bit of this image is. I followed the posterization guide too closely in places and now it looks choppy. In other places I didn't follow it closely enough. I don't know. I actually kinda hate this. The underneath layers of the hair really suck - I wanted it too look smooth but I've done too many transition layers and now it looks like an out of focus photograph. Meh. Oh well, I'm going to quit complaining - maybe it'll grow on me.

Oh, and as I'm sure you know it is near impossible to find pictures from this photoshoot in large sizes. I had to upsize it a whole damn lot and, well, I suck at making things up as I go along so the bits that should be detailed really aren't.

Time: About 2 weeks on and off.
Layers: Far too many. I had to merge so many times because my poor little computer couldn't handle it.

Critique it all you want - I\'m not changing a damn thing
