Vectors/Vexels | emvan

I haven’t posted in a while. SO I thought I share the updated Natalie Portman vexel I’m STILL working. I always do this…I’ll start a vexel, take a long long break, and finish up later. Haven’t finished yet, obviously. I just haven’t been in the mood to.
It’s pretty sad how long I take actually. I read vector/vexel descriptions that people write on their DeviantArt page about their artwork saying, “Oh this took me 5 hours to do.” Shit…when really focused, I takes me a total like 12-18 hours. Lol.
I’ll get there faster. =)

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

^_^

Him and I

I finally finished a vexel design I started a year ago. I took a long break from it because I was overwhelmed of the work I had to do to finish it. This would be my first vexel piece. I’ve only made vectors before.

I plan on doing something more with this picture. =)

Finished.
