Description
Improved vexel in wallpaper format: [link]
Someone said, apparently because I haven't done a vexel in years, I shouldn't get so annoyed by things to do with vexels.
I joined deviantArt as a vexel artist.
The majority of my gallery is vexel art... proper vexel art.
I got 2 DDs for my vexel art.
I've created many tutorials on vexel art - thanks for reminding me =Mirabel
Just because someone hasn't done work in that genre in 3 years, does not make their opinion on the genre less than yours.
So to shut em up and more or less prove to myself I can still do it... here is a vexel.
Created in Paintshop Pro 7.04
Except for the background colour, 1 colour used as a radial gradient set at opacities between 5-15%
1 solid layer (background)
21 layers with gradients
Pentool used
ALL LAYERS ARE RASTER
Reference: Zach Quinto aka Sylar from Heroes aka the new Spock aka Sybrows by ~Sewwy
Title: from a Death from Above 1979 song called "Blood on our hands"
So now I've recently produced a vexel... is my opinion now less valid?

Overall
Vision Originality Technique ImpactI love this. So many people would be tempted to portray him with darker colours and harsh contrast.
I'm floating in how smooth and light this is. I especially like, that even though there are no real blacks, that his eyes still pierce through it.
The only things I would bring to light are that on the right of his head (our right, his left), there is a triangle of shadow that catches my eye and draws attention to itself.
And also, along his jaw-line, there are two prominent layers that shade in his stubble. The darker of the two, to me, seems too dark, creating a flatter plane, than if there were three layers to create a bit more texture for his oh-so-sexy face.
I say this with all the respect for your work. I am in constant awe of what you do.
