Description
In February, I was lucky enough to be contacted by Advanced Photoshop UK Magazine (www.advancedphotoshop.co.uk) in regards to making a tutorial about vexel art.Now, not only what I terribly excited about this because it would be my first freelance job, but more importantly it will be (to my knowledge) the first ever occurrence of not only vexel art being published in a magazine, but a vexel art tutorial being published.
This is HUGE guys! Huge!
This would be the vexel I created for that specific tutorial. It's a six page spread, as well as featured on the cover, so I'm pretty excited!
To anyone in the UK - GO AND BUY THE MAGAZINE! If you're not in the UK, you can order it online, or if you're lucky enough to have it sold in your country, definitely wait for it to appear on your shelves.
OMFG THE VEXEL COMMUNITY IS GOING PLACES. I'm so unbelievably happy.
Yes, the file size is huge. The full-body is HALF the size of what it was when I was making it - the snippets are previews of the full size. It was created in PhotoshopCS3 over a period of about a week, and my computer really disliked me by the time I was done. It's several hundred layers, and considering the size of each layer, I guess you can understand why my iMac wanted to explode by the time I was done.
I apologise for the watermark. I'm lucky to be able to share this with you to start with, I really don't want people going around and stealing my work, especially because it's not just done for the fun of it.

Thank you, Shar! I'm ridiculously honoured and a bit overwhelmed. Your opinion is one of the only opinions I really care about here at dA, mainly because we've kind of travelled the vexel road together in a sense so I kind of feel that if I have your approval, I must be doing alright.
I'm totally keen on trying out the suggestions next time I tackle a vexel, and am definitely keen on working on a bit of modifications. I've had some ideas, I just need to find the time. November can't come quick enough!!
Seriously, thank you. It means a lot

First let me start by congratulating you on your publish!
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.

Forgive the massive delay on this reply, I don't log in to dA much anymore. My tutorials were in some 2009 and 2010 Digital Artist and Advanced Photoshop magazines. I'm not sure they would be easily available anymore.

I bought Advanced Photoshop - The Premium Collection Vol 4 with this gorgeous piece on the cover and a brilliant tutorial inside, all the way on Kangaroo Island, off the southern coast of Australia. In the newsagents! Thought you might like to know that it has hit our shores so far away.
A brilliant tut and image - well done!

Hahaha, yes, I know! I got terribly excited when I found it in the Borders where my brother works in Sydney
<33 Glad you liked it!

I bought this issue. I have it in my backpack right next to me. I live in America and you would be happy to know that people can find it in Barns and Nobles book stores; they don't have to go online to get it if they don't want to.
But anyway... I love your work. I hope to see more. Your awesome.

I live in Norway, and I saw that magazine! I thought that the cover was beautiful!
Great job.
I really want to try Vexel art myself, but I just don't have "time" for it right now, but maybe later
