'What's this? A vexel by Kelly? WOW, it must be a special occasion!'

Well, yes, it sure is! On this side of the world, it is now the birthday of the one and only ^shebid, also known as MandaPanda. :D

This wonderful girl is turning 19, and I hope that she has a wonderful day. :love: <#

Um, as for the vexel itself, I chose this photo because to me, I can imagine Manda making this expression as her 'what do you mean' look - and it just seems to fit her. :giggle:

I've also changed it a little bit from the original, just to make it a little different. I'm pretty happy with how it's come out!

I like the hair and the glasses alot, but I'm not sure if the eyes arn't supposed to be diffrent sizes, because when you talked about the expresson look, you probably did it on purpose, one eyebrow seems more shaped then the other, I think the background would look nicer if I was just plain red without the swirls, nice job though, its a very nice picture, I think its cool how the glasses makes the face look smaller where they are, I don't think much people think about that when they draw glasses on people, very nice job :D I like it.!
What do you think?

BOSS!! Kelly this is utterly and unequivocally the personification of Manda! The colours are so warm and rich and texturing is just right so as not to be over powering. The variation in thickness really adds a sense of depth to the piece. You chose your lines carefully and it really paid off. Though I must admit there are a few negative spaces that could use some work. Such as the forehead and chest area. They seem a bit too "empty". The background is also quite nice. Nothing too fancy so as to take away from the main focus, but still not boring. A really nice balanced piece. Beautifull work!

Kelly this looks amazing! :eager: When I saw the WIP I immediately knew this was going to be one super amazing piece. <3 I was right haha. Seriously, everything about it looks great. And Manda is lucky to have such an amazing friend as you. x3

My favorite by far is the textures you used, as well as the colors chosen. The glasses frames look fabulous! 8D
