Current vexel….plus song in my head.
I haven’t posted up anything for a while, so I thought I’d share my current vexel I’m working on. Click ‘em

Vexel:
If you haven’t notice, this is Natalie Portman. She is one of my favorite actresses. She’s so beautiful and talented. She kind of reminds me of Keira Knightley in this photo, though. Another favorite actress of mine.
I’ve been really trying to work on shadows…adding more definition. I’m pretty happy with how this one is turning out so far. It’s not perfect, but that’s how I like to do it. I want it to look like a vexel, not like a photograph. Or else, why do it? Maybe to see how good ya can get. Besides, I’m too lazy and impatient to do that many layers in one vexel. I takes me a VERY long time to do one. Took me like four hours to do the lips alone! I started the whole thing over four times. Pretty sad how long I take. I can’t just do a vexel in one sitting. Not yet at least.
I have to be in the right mood, right time, right place to do anything with graphics.
I’m listening to Lily Allen a lot more now. I really like her music, vocals, and attitude. I love British accents too. =P Compared to other pop music, I feel like she puts more meaning into her songs. A bit of humor too.
Want to share her song: “The Fear”
Funny and sad truth
_Lyrics
I want to be rich and I want lots of money
I don’t care about clever I don’t care about funny
I want loads of clothes and fuckloads of diamonds
I heard people die while they are trying to find them
I’ll take my clothes off and it will be shameless
‘Cuz everyone knows that’s how you get famous
I’ll look at the sun and I’ll look in the mirror
I’m on the right track yeah I’m on to a winner
Chorus
I don’t know what’s right and what’s real anymore
I don’t know how I’m meant to feel anymore
When we think it will all become clear
‘Cuz I’m being taken over by The Fear
Life’s about film stars and less about mothers
It’s all about fast cars and passing each other
But it doesn’t matter cause I’m packing plastic
and that’s what makes my life so fucking fantastic
And I am a weapon of massive consumption
and its not my fault it’s how I’m program to function
I’ll look at the sun and I’ll look in the mirror
I’m on the right track yeah we’re onto a winner
Chorus
I don’t know what’s right and what’s real anymore
I don’t know how I’m meant to feel anymore
When we think it will all become clear
‘Cuz I’m being taken over by The Fear
Bridge
Forget about guns and forget ammunition
Cause I’m killing them all on my own little mission
Now I’m not a saint but I’m not a sinner
Now everything is cool as long as I’m getting thinner
Chorus
I don’t know what’s right and what’s real anymore
I don’t know how I’m meant to feel anymore
When we think it will all become clear
‘Cause I’m being taken over by fear
^_^
