Description I. FINALLY. FINISHED

Whoooo

Theoretically, I can upload this and not have to worry about breaching any HSC rules, because i'm not going to be submitting this as one of my major work pieces. Why? I have to start entirely again, because my photographs no longer fit with my concept (don't worry: Still ocean, still surf, still my cousin, i just need new photos that i can story board)

So yes. This is my first complete vexel from this photoshoot. It's taken me three months. The breaking wave consists of dots. Lots and lots of dots. thousands. No kidding. Don't ask me how many layers, because I honestly can't tell you.

But boy am I glad it's finished!

Thankyou to: Michala, the beautiful model, My art teacher for the advise, and everyone who comments.

PS: I'm sorry about the horrible watermark. Because it IS school work, and 100% mine, I have to be very very careful at the moment. If my work starts popping up everywhere, i could get pulled up for copyright infringement when i hand my other works in, and I don't need that. :s

Hi Sarah,
Don't know if you remember me, but I certainly remember this beautiful piece of art from the old vexels.net days.. Man I miss that website!
I remember when you were working on it, and every time you posted pictures, it just got more and more beautiful. And it still is now..

Hiya I remember you a little
I certainly miss vexels.net a lot too. It was such an ice little community.

It seems so long ago that I was even working on this piece, so it's amazing that you remember the progressions

Thanks so much for the comment, hon

I like it It would be a cool desktop wallpaper. When the project is over could you make a 1680x1050 desktop version of it please?

The project is very much over, but for the privacy of my cousin, they will remain just as artworks, not as downloadables.

Thank you. To be honest, I haven't done much vexelling as of late. my surfing series was started almost two years ago to date. It seems like just yesterday to be honest.

I may get back into my vexelling, but i'm super busy with my photography, job, and university at the moment. Thank you, though

kilxover [2006-04-02 16:27:00 +0000 UTC]

Wow, when i saw it I was about to say finally!
It was worth the wait though, obviously since its so beautiful I looks really great in full view too, but I wish it was a bit smaller so I didn't have to scroll around to see the whole image and I get why you put the watermark on it The waves are amazing but I had to just say that I loove the hair, jesus its good nice work
